'A Tooth For An Eye' deconstructs images of maleness, power and leadership. Who are the people we trust as our leaders and why? What do we have to learn from those we consider inferior? In a sport setting where one would traditionally consider a group of men as powerful and in charge, an unexpected leader emerges. A child enters and allows the men to let go of their hierarchies, machismo and fear of intimacy, as they follow her into a dance. Their lack of expertise and vulnerability shines through as they perform the choreography.

The Knife drop a video for their new single, "Full of Fire". Directed by feminist porn creator Marit Östberg.
"The film 'Full of Fire' started to grow as an embryo in the song's lines 'Who looks after my story'. Who takes care of our stories when the big history, written by straight rich white men, erase the complexity of human's lives, desires and conditions? The film 'Full of Fire' consists of a network of fates, fears, cravings, longings, losses, and promises. Fates that at first sight seem isolated from each other, but if we pay attention, we can see that everything essentially moves into each other. Our lives are intertwined and our eyes on each other, our sounds and smells, mean something. Our actions create reality, we create each other. We are never faceless, not even in the most grey anonymous streets of the city. We will never stop being responsible, being extensions, of one another. We will never stop longing for each other, and for something else."

THE PRODIGY REISSUE THE FAT OF THE LAND
This 15th anniversary expanded edition includes 6 new remixes (CD Only) by today’s electronic acts: Noisia, Alvin Risk, Zeds Dead, Baauer, Glitch Mob and Major Lazer.
Few albums were as eagerly anticipated as The Fat of the Land, the Prodigy’s long-awaited follow-up to Music for the Jilted Generation. The Fat of the Land was touted as the album that would bring electronica/techno to a wide American audience; and indeed it went on to sell 2.8 million copies in the US. The Fat of the Land delivers exactly what anyone would expect: intense hip-hop-derived rhythms, imaginatively reconstructed samples, and meaningless shouted lyrics from Keith Flint and Maxim.
Release date December 4th, 2012.

I always felt that "The Rip Tide" wasn't fully able to project its own ambitions in song form.. no matter how it was performed or recorded, it felt contained by sound alone... I wanted more, as I often do with my music, and this is not a bad thing. Growing to accept a song's limits is part of the process of creating and loving them. Which was why I was so excited to see what Houmam had dug into when he picked "The Rip Tide" out of all others for a video. The concept fit, and the product brought the song somewhere that I had only been able to describe to myself, now available for others to see and feel it much more as I had in the process of writing it.

Over a quarter of a century since it began and a decade after it folded, this is the definitive film about Creation Records, one of the world's most successful and colorful independent labels. This is the story of the rock n roll dream and its accompanying nightmares. Millions of sales on both sides of the Atlantic, near bankruptcy, pills, thrills, spats, prats, success, excess, pick me ups, breakdowns and of course some of THE defining music of the late 20th Century. This is the definitive and fully authorised story of the UK's most inspired and dissolute label, from the Jesus & Mary Chain at the Living Room to Oasis at Knebworth.
Out on DVD and Blu Ray May 9th, 2011

THE UPSETTER - LIFE & MUSIC OF LEE SCRATCH PERRY
The Upsetter tells of Lee “Scratch” Perry, a visionary musician and artist from poor rural Jamaica who journeyed to the big city in the late 1950s with dreams of making it in the burgeoning record industry.
Lee Perry burst on the scene with a brand new sound, inventing a genre of music that would come to be called reggae, while mentoring a young Bob Marley and gaining international recognition as a record producer and solo artist. The Upsetter charts 70 years in the life of Lee “Scratch” Perry and is equally a documentation of 30 years of Jamaican music and culture.
The film is narrated by Academy Award winner Benico Del Toro.

During an interview with the New York Times, Reznor revealed that the "Dragon Tattoo" score would rely more on string arrangements than the electronic-leaning music of "Social Network."
"We started recording things in a different way that was all based on performance, nothing programed," says Reznor, who has completed two hours' worth of music over the past month with Ross. "That would be my limited skills with stringed instruments... We'd process them in a way that really gave it an interesting, organic feel that felt like something we've never done before."

The 6" subwoofer drive (15 watts), flanked by two 6" speakers (10 watts each), take up a good deal of the piano glass acrylic front of the boombox, leaving room for retro dials and touch buttons that illuminate to life when the stereo's turned on.
Inputs include standard 3.5mm and auxiliary ports, as well as USB for handling iPod/MP3 player/smartphone duty which allows the burden of audio processing to be lifted off the portable device and shifted to the boombox itself. It can play files off of USB sticks and also has AM/FM radio. Any two of these inputs can be used and mixed dynamically, so you can plug in a guitar or microphone and jam along to the radio or a song on your iPhone.

There are two shows scheduled for early October in Los Angeles. Thom spent some time in Los Angeles for a while now and there was a lot of speculation on what was going on… and now we know. A new band with drummer Joey Waronker, who played on most of Beck’s records. Mauro Refosco did percussion on records by David Byrne and Bebel Gilberto. Flea, the bass player of Red Hot Chili Peppers needs no introduction. And neither does long-time Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich, who also produced Thom Yorke’s releases.

RICEBOY SLEEPS
Several years in gestation, the Riceboy Sleeps project was first conceived as an outlet for Jonsi and his boyfriend Alex's visual art, resulting in the highly covetable 1,000 limited edition A6 book, printed in Iceland to highly exacting spec. Gallery shows and video installations followed, and with them the creation of the first dream-like soundscapes towards what would become this album. Recorded at home in between Sigur Rós commitments, the music took shape slowly, and suffered a near fatal setback when the computer on which it was all stored was dragged from the kitchen table in the days before Apple had magnetic power leads. Fortunately some nifty and painstaking keyhole surgery effected during a sojourn in Hawaii resulted in complete recovery of the splendid specimen soon to be before you

Kieran Hebden, aka Four Tet, is all about collaboration, so it's not a surprise that he's teamed up with shadowy English dubstep crossover Burial, aka William Bevan. The results, "Moth" and "Wolf Cub," "Moth" finds Reichian Gamelan giving way to wooden percussion and subtle background pitch/vocal smears, with an echoing spaciousness that remains throughout. "Wolf Cub" digs into a deeper, stutter-stopping, chiming/ringing/thumping club zone. Both are super mellow: A thoroughly enjoyable mind-meld bearing the fingerprints of both makers, but that also manages to lead them someplace new.

Daniel', the new single from Bat For Lashes was directed in Sweden by Johan Renck, he has previously directed videos for Madonna, Kylie, The Knife and New Order. Typically, his videos are dramatic stories filmed with a crisp eye and sharply edited. They are most distinctive, though, for their melancholic blue-green tint and strongly-lit chiaroscuro. Currently Renck is in pre-production for his first feature. Titled Downloading Nancy, it is a very dark story of a woman about to have herself killed by a man she meets on the Internet, but has doubts when she finds herself attracted to him. It stars Holly Hunter, William Hurt and Stellan Skarsgård.

A BLACK HEARTED LOVE
The first video from PJ Harvey and John Parish's 'A Woman A Man Walked By' has been lensed by British artists Jake and Dinos Chapman. The single 'Black Hearted Love' will be released on April 13th through Island Records. "We were both very excited that Jake and Dinos Chapman wanted to make a video for 'Black Hearted Love'. The result is beautiful, mysterious, surreal and enhances the song wonderfully," said PJ Harvey and John Parish of the video.
Nominated for the Turner Prize in 2003, The Chapman Brothers came to prominence as part of Charles Saatchi's Young British Artists, they exhibited at White Cube in 2008. The Chapman Brothers presented a suitably surreal treatment for the song, "We decided 'Black Hearted Love' deserved something haunting and enigmatic - yet brazen and colourful. Hence, a collision between an ominous forest and a garish bouncy castle seemed entirely appropriate... Working with Polly and John was an absolute pleasure."

This new single, “Zero,” puts Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ old stuff to shame with its effortless confidence and deadly melody. I can throw every adjective I know at you, but I’d just be complicating the simple fact that this song is really, really good. Crazy catchy. You’re gonna listen to it 100 times before you realize you’re not breathing. The video is just as gripping. A surreal nighttime Tokyo — or is it NYC? Hong Kong? Any city… The world is your stage! — adventure, it starts with kung-fu movie overdubs and escalates through grocery cart races, street dancing and car stomping to its explosive ticker tape finish. Step past the red curtain and know that you’re never coming back.

Note how the center hole of the record has been lined up exactly with the scroll wheel of the iPod.

In recent seasons we have seen a bike, snowboard, skis and a fishing rod. For Spring/Summer 2009 they have once again made such an item - a guitar. Just like all the other items from previous seasons, the guitar comes in all black, with white accents, and is wrapped in a signature quilted white Chanel leather guitar bag.

WE LOVE FLORENCE AND THE MACHINE
Musically Florence and the Machine's sound is generally referred to as soul inspired indie. Florence And The Machine's music has received praise across the British music media, especially from the BBC who have played a large part in Florence And The Machine's rise to prominence by bringing them into the spotlight as part of BBC Introducing This has lead to her playing Glastonbury and Reading and Leeds festivals in 2008.
NME magazine has also shown its support of the band by including them in their annual NME Awards Tour for 2009. They are set to support White Lies, Friendly Fires and Glasvegas on the tour . The band's album is currently believed to be on the way in 2009 and we predict Florence to be 2009's breakthorugh star.
