SVENGALI

Svengali is a pilot mini-series based on the music industry in london. Hapless band manager (Dixie) is looking to get a deal in london for his band 'The Premature Congratulations' (21st century happy mondays). He bumps into an old friend who's now 'made it' where the program begins to highlight the idea of how everyone thinks they 'have to be cool' to make it big. The series features a number of industry faces such as; Alan Mcgee, Carl Barat, Maggot (goldie lookin chain) and so on. The pilots were a success and it's now been announced that its gonna be made into a full TV series for some time in 2010. There's currently six episodes available on youtube.

The Dead Weather

Jack White of The White Stripes has started ANOTHER band... Although to be fair if something decent (other than this tune) comes out of this band, its probably for the best, as I thought The Raconteurs were pretty kack. The band has brought together Alison Mosshart (double smash) of The Kills, Raconteurs bassist Jack Lawrence, and Queens Of The Stone Age guitarist Dean Fertitta...It's almost as if they're trying for some sort of 'supergroup'. The single 'Hang you from the heavens' has the moody, distorted blues timbre sound you'd expect from these artists, but Mosshart's voice just spells sexy slut. Bit of a 'try2be edgy' video but its pretty sick.

Good Girl Gone Bad

So when you think of a squeaky clean, nice bit of totty. Natalie Portman is definitley on the list. You'll know her from playing Padame Amidala in the more recent starwars films. Click the link to realise what a 10 she really is. Basically take her then corrupt her with malevolent badboy ways until she ends up foul mouthed and able to throw a load of filth out of your speakers. Whilst it's all a bit of a piss take...I can't get my head round whether she's more sexy this way or not? Uncensored Version (Audio only)

New approach to music video

Apart from being one of the best tunes on the album...This video for Radiohead's 'House of cards' demonstrates a potential turning point in music video, which i can imagine becoming quite popular with with half the shit in the current electronic scene trying to be alternative. The video was made with no cameras or lights. Instead, 3D plotting technologies collected information about the shapes and relative distances of objects. The video was created entirely with visualizations of that data. Edgy fucking shit.

It's Thursday but its not 'Thursday'

Cringest/worst post title ever?
Maybe...but the new Asobi Seksu tune is definitely on par with the previous banger 'thursday'....after a few listens anyway. yes/no?

Shy fx & polish power (hur hur)
