CARL HUANG // TIME WASTING

Whilst I'm on the subject of wasting time I just need to make sure that other people are wasting time as well. My main man Carl Huang has now made me waste time by blogging about wasting time therefore wasting my time that should be spent wasting time. Kapeesh?

Cube Roll is for the masters of wasting time.....so get involved.

CARL HUANG // SCALE OF THE UNIVERSE

OK, massive can't get your head around size comparisons are pretty cool and they might even make you go, "whaaaaa....that is so big". Well this one will actually make you do that.

So pause any other music you've got oozing out of your speakers and let the 8-bit dungeon take you on some sort of size and time warp created by the legendary, Carl Huang.

TUNE OF THE DAY // BENJAMIN SCHOOS - JE NE VOIS QUE VOUS (featuring Laetitia Sadier)

I was lucky enough to hear this sumptuous summer time tune on the radio today and immediately stopped all the hard work I was doing to find out who Benjamin Schoos was. Belgium born Schoos has his hands in pretty much every musical and creative pie possible. Not only does he make swaying orchestrated pop music but he also writes for other artists, writes fanzines, hosts TV shows, runs his own label, Freaksville Records and even composed Belgium's 2009 Eurovision song contest entry, Copycat. For those of you that were wondering who provides the smooth Francophile vocals look no further than Stereolab's very own Laetitia Sadier.   

OK, now imagine that you've got your contrast pocket top on and your cycling a penny farthing around the streets of Paris with this on your ipod.....I am, and it's great!

Schoos' latest album 'China Man vs China Girl' is was released on the 9th April 2012 via Freaksville Records.

Now back to work...

The secret of who actually writes this blog has finally been revealed.....a husky. 

PICTURES // LIFE IN & AROUND THE NY SUBWAYS, 1980

Yeah I bought a big flashy camera and yeah I was expecting amazing photos to start whizzing out the Snappy Snap printers. Instead I ended up with thousands of the same average photos I was taking before but now I'm able to blow them up to the size of a billboard....result. 

I'm forever flicking through photo books in awe and trawling the tinternet looking for my next coffee table coaster when I stumbled across a fellow blogger who's written a nice piece about the photographers that managed to capture the deep and dark life that lived below NY in the subways. The blog highlights a photographer called Bruce Davidson who turns out to be a total geezer! Wandering the streets of Oak Park, Illinos aged 10, Bruce was developing photos in his Mum's basement before my first memory! He went on to hone his future trade with a local photographer and his talents didn't go unnoticed when being drafted into the US army which lead to him secure a full time job at his postings paper. Now a full time member of the illustrious international photographic cooperative, Magnum Photos.  

I would suggest buying any of his many books but a must is his works on the NY subway titled, Subway. I've added a few of my favourites below. Choo choo

TUNE OF THE DAY // THEOPHILUS LONDON - HUMDRUM TOWN

Been a huge fan of Theophilus London for a serious amount of time, this man is a legend and a credit to music. I could post an endless list of songs which could keep someone entertained all night. However, I will leave you with one of my favs Humdrum Town.

TUNE OF THE DAY // MAJOR LAZER - GET FREE

Not your stereotypical Major Lazer tune by any means, but Get Free is showcasing Major Lazer, stripped back for you all! Beautiful stuff.

The boys over at What So Not have kept the beautiful vocals of Amber Coffman and the synths intact, whilst adding their take and stamp. A tune that is likely to be heard out and about!
