27 January 2008 | Honey

Erykah Badu is on every cover in her new video for the single Honey. She does her take on Nas, Grace Jones, Ohio Players, Diana Ross, Eric B. & Rakim, Minnie Riperton, the classic Yoko Ono and John Lennon Rolling Stone cover and many more. There is also an Andre 3000 Hey Ya interlude. Check it out. (updated)

I’m feeling Erykah’s version of Head to The Sky by Earth, Wind & Fire

27 January 2008 | Hotnuts Potnuts

It was such an honour to have Michelle DuBarry as a performer at Hotnuts. Keith Cole came on stage late last night and everybody danced to his performance of “If I Could Read Your Mind”. Thank you all for partying at Potnuts.

All of the pictures after the jump. Slightly NSWF.

18 January 2008 | Cha Cha Heels

Originally written by Bronski Beat for the late Divine, Cha Cha Heels was recorded by Eartha Kitt in 1989. Watch the video. There are even some classic Divine lines taken from Female Trouble: “I’m all dressed up and ready to fall in love.”

On a side note, Jimmy Sommerville had left the Bronski Beat in 1985 for The Communards. Thanks S.

16 January 2008 | That Chick

That Chick supposedly is the tentative title of Mariah’s new album, scheduled for April. The title brings the great line from It’s Like That to my mind: “Them chickens is ash and I’m lotion”. Give me the first single, already. Can’t wait.

Read the first review. (via)

Update: MTV UK report:
“One track titled ”O.O.C” summed up the night and the return of Mariah - once the albums out it’s gonna be ”Out Of Control!”

15 January 2008 | The Power of Love

Of course, we were at the Beaver for the birthday party of P., slurping oysters. When I heard that Owen is doing a cover of a Celine Dion song at the Gladstone just next door, it was already too late. But I don’t need to be sad anymore, there is a video:

Get a behind the scenes look at the shooting of a film to showcase the latest Bernhard Willhelm men’s collection at showstudio. The working title for the collection is Men in Tights and it will premiere in Paris next Sunday, January 20.
One of the clips has a short interview with the designer.

11 January 2008 | Party Nuts! Balls!

While I was rolling through the cooking alley of a bookstore, I discovered these gems.
Party Nuts! Balls! Buy me this - buy me that!
And I will fill the balls with party nuts. Yummy.

09 January 2008 | Asshole

Don’t you all love an asshole - sometimes?
I suggest you first watch the live performance by Kalup Linzy of Asshole.

After you’ve digested that, please move to his myspace and listen to Asshole (Dance Remix). And in the end, buy the Asshole. It’s worth it.
Thanks Will.

08 January 2008 | New Hercules

New Hercules

Jamie and Will brought Andy Butler of Hercules and Love Affair to play a dj set in Toronto in December. It was a perfect Saturday night with lots of dancing.
Now, the Hercules album is one of the first releases that I look forward to in 2008.

The German magazine Spex has the tracklist and a short review of the album which will be released through DFA on March 7.

During his dj set I met Andy briefly and he told me that Blind, the upcoming single feat. Anthony Hegarty, should feature a remix by Frankie Knuckles and that one of the next singles will (hopefully) contain a remix by MK / Marc Kinchen. I’m especially excited about the later. To my knowledge MK hasn’t done a house remix in years, although his productions were so much fun in the 90ties.

If you want to listen to some Hercules and Love Affair music now there are a couple of tracks floating around. There are 2 songs that got an official 12 inch release last year: Roar and Classique #2. These songs together with Blind, Athene and Hercules Theme are available for listen at their myspace or hype machine or elbo.ws

In addition to that, Andy Butler has turned the new Goldfrapp single A&E into a chiming disco number with African chants (listen).

On a side note, doesn’t Ms Goldfrapp look like a Humpe sister in the video to A&E (updated)? I’m totally into leaf people on bikes.

He also did Bat For Lashes - What’s A Girl To Do
