“On Tuesday, we put out the music video for Die Antwoord’s “Fatty Boom Boom,” and it’s pretty much the best thing ever. If you haven’t seen it, a man who is very clearly dressed as Lady Gaga is run through the ringer, eventually giving birth to a live prawn and getting eaten by a lion. She asked the South African art-rappers/culture jammers to open for her on tour, and they declined because Lady Gaga is not very interesting. Now, she has taken to Twitter to respond to the video”

Last Thursday we went to see the 3 minute moving portrait exhibition from Tom Oxley entitled ‘Face to Face,’ and consume a generous amount of tequila supplied by Patron.
Projected onto the walls of the LondoNewcastle gallery on Redchurch gallery in Shoreditch, are a series of 3 minute video portraits of musicans, including Professor Green, Delilah and Azealia Banks among others. A bit like Andy Warhols five minute portraits of the seventies, only these are accompanied by specific tracks that the musician listened to during the take.
In summary, looks great with the lights off, not so great with them on.
The exhibition runs until the 28th of October at Londonnewcastle, for more info click here.

Rumfest 2012 Recap
Last week Rumfest hit the Excel centre in east london, and responsible adults that we are we thought what better way to spend a Sunday afternoon than to ‘Sample’ fine rums from around the world. I mean what could go wrong?
Here’s what went down:
12pm: Rumfest opens to the public….
2pm: We arrive… it is a Sunday our day of rest after all.
2:20pm We’ve been inside for twenty minutes and it’s like a party in full swing, we’re already getting that warm on the inside feeling that neat Rum and crackers provide, and people are dancing to the sound of Soca music.
3pm: We decide that maybe it’s a good idea to grab lunch, noticing that some of the people around us are falling asleep in their chairs as we eat.
3:30pm “Thank God for that pie and mash!” We head back in…
4pm: “How much for a bottle of 8 year old Ron Fortuna Nigaraguaguann please?”
4:30pm: Half an hour left… “Quick let’s see if anyone’s giving out free samples!”
5pm: “Whadya mean it’s finished?”
And there you have it, thank you Rumfest, it truly was a carnival for people in denial of winter. Next year we’re going for both days!
