Crystal Castles doing The Cure, Not in Love - Robert Smith

I love this. I saw Crystal Castles live at one of the festivals over the summer. Alice Glass, admittedly a bit of psycho, put absolutely everything into her performance and it was incredible to watch and be part of.
Take classic pop The Cure song and punch it through a wall at Crystal Castles and this, epically, is what you end up with.

Daft Punk & Tron: Legacy

I'm getting a bit excited about Tron:. One of the longest awaited sequels in film history, the new electro-power movie follows the original 1982-er starring Jeff Bridges. This time round, Bridges is there again, along with Michael Sheen and Olivia Wilde, as is a big budget and some potentially mind-boggling 3D effects.



BEST of all though, is the new Daft Punk dance tracks. The soundtrack is going to be released on the 22nd November. I was just listening to Zane Lowe and apparently the French duo also have roles in the film too.
This is the theme:



The is going to be released on the 26th December in the UK.

Brother - a band off of Slough

I like this. It's the return of Gritpop with lashings of unashamed cool kid swagger from Brother. Zane Lowe has tipped them, and played the first single Darling Buds of May twice this week on his show.

Jessie J

This is Jessie J - Radio 1 have just added this, Do it like a Dude, to their playlists so I predict we'll hear a lot more of her shortly. Head to her MySpace for more songs. Her voice is amazing in the more acoustic videos too.

London

I'm feeling pretty London. Right now, sitting in Starbucks, reading Dazed, Radiohead is lurking somewhere in the background. iPad is sitting on top of my half read Sunday Times Style magazine. It's started raining outside and King's Road beautiful people have pulled out their beautiful umbrellas and are continuing to look beautiful. But they don't really look like they're enjoying it. My caramel machiato has never tasted so good.

I've seen a lot of effortlessly cool today. Red loafers, butterfly graphics on big canvases under arms, camel coloured jumpers, tweed suits and riding boots pedalling bicycles, anoraks with espadrilles, well worn Churches brogues, satchels over Levi's, green trousers with cardigan. I love a man in a cardigan. And I love umbrellas.

Checked shirts, the return of the Mohawk, Breton stripes, old lady with leopard print umbrella, McQueen skulls, KRSC, handle bars with tassels on,studded cuffs, sherbet lemon knitted vest. Sunglasses under umbrella? No, that's just illogical. Fred Perry sporting jacket, navy with yellow stripes, cable knit cardy, the Chelsea boot in it's original setting. Court shoes with grey knitted tights, red bandana, green hair, elbow patches, stripy blue socks. I fucking love socks, they're the most underrated article of clothing.

Cotton hoodie under jacket, flares, cut off trousers, rolled up trousers. Sunday Papers and BlackBerrys. Indiana Jones hat, Desigual prints, sandwiches, chunky silver chains, cigarettes, woven colourful handbags, red lipstick, red polo shirt, cake.

100 Club Oxford Street - I Am Arrows, Sketches, David J Roth

I went to 100 Club on Oxford Street last night for the first time. Sadly, I also heard on the same day that it might be closing soon.


I went to see I Am Arrows, Andy Burrows’ band, who I’ve been going on about for a while now. Two bands were on before them, Sketches and David J Roth. They were both amazing live, I hadn’t heard of either of them before.

My photos aren't very legible but I like how they came out for the I Am Arrows shots.

So this is Sketches...

And then David J Roch...

Then loads of people came out of nowhere for Arrows, it was brilliant! Such a good atmosphere, I had a really good night.
