After being spotted outside of Place de la Bourse in Paris, Bloc Party lead singer Kele Okereke was asked to perform a song by the guys who run La Blogotheque. After 25 minutes of gentle coaxing, the notoriously shy Okereke finally agreed to perform “This Modern Love,” one of the hit songs from Bloc Party’s 2005 debut album Silent Alarm. What followed next was 5 minutes of one of the coolest, most sincere renditions of a Bloc Party song that I’ve ever heard. From La Blogotheque:
“We cut, during the editing, because it took us 25 minutes to talk them into doing it. Just enought time to stop him from running away, go get Russel, decide what song they were going to play. When Kele eventually started singing, Colin was pressed against him, and it felt like he was jumping from a diving-board too high for him… He caught us off-guard. Everyone was speechless. There’s nothing more to add. Five minutes of rare sincerity, two artists doing something with no safety net and without really understanding why. They took that risk, and that’s what we thank them for.”
Dick Flink and Nick Fenmore - or the Super Mash Bros - describe their group as “Girl Talk’s Hot Cousin.” Despite the abundance of family terminology, they manage to put together some extremely danceable stuff, with samples ranging from MGMT to Death Cab for Cutie to Nelly. With a few of these samples, it’s tempting [...]
British rock magazine NME released a bunch of exclusive one-on-one band videos earlier this week. An acoustic version of “Lethal Enforcer” by We Are Scientists is one of these must-see videos. Keith and Chris from the band shot this inside of NME’s own studio in London. It starts off with Keith conducting a pretty [...]
So I stumbled across this interesting video/song a few days ago. DJ Earworm, a San Francisco-based mash-up artist, created a 4½ minute song from the top 25 hits of 2008, according to Billboard magazine. I was a little hesitant to post it, since most of the music that is included in this mash-up reminds me [...]
End of the year lists are one thing that I always look forward to seeing each December, during that special period of time between the magic and nostalgia of Christmas and the drunken debauchery of New Year’s Eve. We here at Jetcomx wanted to put together a special list; not just a list of best [...]
It’s on like Donkey Kong.
You wanted that fast buck
Now I gotta light that ass up.
Thus spake Ice Cube in the single “Now I Gotta Wet’Cha” from his 1992 album The Predator. It’s an excellent album, both danceable and grim, courtesy of Ice Cube and DJ Muggs’ typical sound—loping beats, P-Funk horns, Sly and the Family [...]
Merry Christmas to all of our loyal readers. I hope everyone is enjoying their day off. As a special holiday treat, I am posting this classic Christmas clip. It’s mandatory at this point. Enjoy!
Last week, indie folk band Fleet Foxes was featured on Late Night with Conan O’Brien. It marked the second occasion that the guys from Seattle appeared on network TV; they first appeared back on June on The Late Show with David Letterman. 2008 has been a huge year for Fleet Foxes; their second EP, Sun [...]
We just wanted to send our congratulations to our friend and street artist Billi Kid. Earlier this week, Billi had one of his combo slaps featured in an article in TIME magazine. The particular combo slap features an image of president-elect Barack Obama, created by San Francisco based artist Zoltron, surrounded by the stickers of [...]
Nowadays, it seems as if it is getting harder and harder to find magazines or publications with any substance. But for those interested in venturing into eclectic bookstores (i.e. Trident on Boston’s Newbury Street), look for the art and design publication Beautiful/Decay. Immediately, the cover draws in any passersby with it’s provoking and contemporary artwork. [...]
