R.I.P. Trish Keenan (of Broadcast): 1968 – 2011
Trish Keenan was the lead singer of UK indie-electronic-psychedelic group, Broadcast. Never heard of them? Hit play on the player above. Not sure you want to hit play? You like Stereolab? You like Portishead? Then HIT PLAY ON THE F-CKING PLAYER ABOVE and experience something real and beautiful, then leave me a comment saying, “Thank you!”
Boradcast was one of my favorite groups that I discovered when they happened to sign to the label I used to work for many moons ago. Always a good thing when work and pleasure can meet like that but at age 41, her passing from pneumonia (who dies from that still??!) in Australia yesterday morning is a tragic, tragic loss. R.I.P

As we continue on with the weekend party vibes….
I was gonna say something smart in response to hearing this track like, “Remember when Clinton Sparks was making hardcore hip hop records?” and then note that that was before he went out to Vegas to start DJing the clubs out there and got influenced to start making electro pop records like this, but when I went to his website, I noticed that amazingly enough, he’s actually still making hardcore hip hop records! Well to be fair though, there’s actually some pretty big drums on the chorus to this so-called pop track. Speaking of which…..

10 year old Young Lyric aka Lyrikkal‘s “Pink and Purple” video (above) is too cute!
But did you know Tom Hanks’ other son, Chet Hanks raps under the name Chet Haze?? Here’s his Purple take on “Black and Yellow” titled, “White & Purple (Northwestern Remix)”:

Not a Tiësto fan by any stretch, in fact I find most of his music utter rubbish but the homie, James sent me the the video above so i checked it out and shockingly, I actually didn’t mind it. Plus it’s a good track for a Friday night weekend kickoff. Not sure the nature of Diplo‘s involvement in this track – is this a mash-up of tracks by him and Tiësto with a new vocal by Busta on top?? I mean, I could google the answer I guess, but I don’t really care that much, to be honest….
