A Real Music Video — NSFW El Guincho: Bombay

Tuesday, September 28th, 2010

Finally a music video that encompasses everything a music video should; sparkles, water, a fat man, a crow, girls, girls, girls, 70’s filter, a bit of science and a really good song. The video is actually a trailer for a film, called Bombay, directed by Nicolás Méndez. This is El Guincho’s, aka Pablo Díaz-Reixa, second album, “Pop Negro” which he mixed with Jon Gass (Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston), released by Young Turks / XL Recordings (The xx).  El Gincho grew up on the Canary Isles, the Spanish-owned archipelago off the coast of Northwestern Africa; starved for 80’s pop culture and later found a talent for music while in Paris and Barcelona. He describes his music as a kind of “space-age exotica”.

Kanye’s Back on the VMAs

Monday, September 13th, 2010

You’ve got to dig MTV’s power flexing abilities. Kanye was forever banned from the VMAs last year for hijacking Taylor Swift’s mic during her acceptance speech for best female video. This year Kanye landed the topspot in the closing of the show for his apology song, where he seemingly calls himself a douchebag for “always finding something wrong, you’ve been putting up with my sh*t way too long” and suggests that the cure to his mic hijacking problem is to “Runaway” from him as fast as you can. It really is a great song. The dude is a hitmaker.
