VIDEO: RUSH MIDNIGHT - CRUSH

I don't know much about Rush Midnight but this song is produced by Twin Shadow, whose album Confess is one of my favourites of the year. I also dig the concept of the video following around the crazy kids that jump on the subway in NYC and do a 2 minute routine in a packed train and then walk around collecting money before jumping off at the next station. Its actually kinda awkward once they've finished their routine and collected all the money they can, cause they'll all just sit down dead silent until the next stop. Haha. 

VIDEO: AZEALIA BANKS - LUXURY

 Azealia looking pretty nice in this video. 

I'm kinda on the fence with this song though. There's really nice parts and then some super strange moments when it almost sounds like two songs are playing at once or the vocal is seriously clashing with the lead synth sound. 

THE OBLIGATORY OBAMA POST

Pic is another Undrcrwn tribute to the man.

Having followed the entire presidential race from the primaries, and indeed taken a keen interest in US politics since I was a kid, yesterday was a totally surreal experience for me. I havent really got the time to write an essay about it, or even say anything much different than what has already been said, but I will remember it for the rest of my life. And although I am realistic in my expectations of what change Barry O can immediately bring to the already fucked up table, the fact that the person occupying the most powerful seat in the world is an intelligent, charmismatic and inspirational figure who has the support of the people, is someone you are excited to hear speak, and when he does speak, it's to you and not at you, is the greatest part to me.

And although some are praising McCain's concession speech, if you read the shit I read about that guy during the week, you would know it was merely the final act of smoke and mirrors to protect whatever mediocre legacy he will leave as a politician.


BTW, I started this post just to inform that The Fader have a fantastic photo/video essay of election night in NYC, with some amazing shots of the people of Fort Greene Brooklyn, Harlem and Times Square, capturing the elated reaction.
