so there.

The first time I saw Tunde he was opening up for The Fall with a very early, laptop heavy incarnation of TV on the Radio.  He’s been blowing my mind ever since.

Dig this chat about acting, our national preoccupation or lack thereof of “race,” his passion for cartooning, and yes, music.

It’s a puzzle game that allows you to manipulate light to create sound. A set of strange but intuitive tools give you a creative arsenal for fucking off your entire day. Act III is the jam.

PLAY.

thunk, thunk thunk…thunk, thunk thunk.

If I was a talented man of action, I’d dress up as Karen Carpenter and reinterpret this song as a lament for Jesus, and make a million bucks. But i’m just an idea guy. Maybe you should do it.

A selection of David Bowie’s own personal favorites is due out Oct. 14th on Virgin/EMI.  Sir Bowie’s new release (CD and digital) will feature 10 recordings he “never seems to tire of” plus two previously unreleased/newly remixed tracks.

Dig this for the track list.

Unfortunately, it seems the release is not planned on vinyl. But here’s a tune from an LP of mine: Moonage rip.

See another Sir’s selections.

The mp3 is a rip from this copy, dusties and all.

Found this gem of a 45 several years ago at Lotusland records in Milwaukee and have been wearing it out ever since. Once my anthem, and now again, briefly we hope.

The Jive Bombers once included a gal named Lil Armstrong, Louis Armstrong’s wife. She wrote this song. It’s called Bad boy. If you can’t dig it, you got a broke shovel.

Girl’s wore little but rompers and playsuits back in the kind and good early 80′s (as far as i’m concerned) and it’s high time people get over themselves and wear them in great numbers again.

Few things fight global warming like a good romper. There’s barely a better way to cut down on the AC and lay around with a pomegranate popsicle. Another thing we should see more often around here.

It’s disturbing to hear trash talk about the environmentally conscious flowers who’ve already whole heartedly embraced the romper’s simple aesthetic.

“Yeah um, I’m not dressing like my baby,” one critic said in 4-inch fake diamond studded flip flops. Oh you’d rather dress like a whore. Cute is more. Stop having babies you idiot.

New York’s Samantha Pleet does the elegant romper.

Rompers aren’t just the domain of American Apparel. No, a girl can wear the right one to anything. Clear out your summer closet.
