Usually Martin handles the COW bringing you some great music but since I have been obsessed with the following track I wanted to have a home for it. From the soon to be releasing Rockstar starring Ranbhir Kapoor and Nargis Farkhri, directed by Imtiaz Ali who after his succes with Love Aaj...

Clip of the week, Moooooo!   So, another week, another clip.  This is a particularly fine example of  some excellently staged destruction, albeit in a quite arty way.  This clip by Justice featuring Simian is reminiscent of the aftermath of an...

Moooo, this COW is great   This week’s cow comes from Wiley, a UK hip-hop artist.  In the running for Best Video at the 2011 MOBOs this is a really clever video, perfectly complementing the lyrics.  Whilst we can’t say it’s in the same league as...

It’s been fully 33 years since the UK band Pulp formed and 33 years since I’ve been around.  A coincidence?  I think not.  Perhaps the most misunderstood of the successful Britpop bands in the ’90s, it’s not to say they weren’t...

  Since its inception in 1947, as an alternative (on the fringe of) to the Edinburgh International Festival, the Fringe  has grown to such gargantuan proportions that it is reportedly the largest arts festival in the world. No longer attracting just the alternative arts performers...

No Hip Hop group inspired me growing up as much as A Tribe Called Quest. Unlike most of my friends (should I be calling them Homies since I am talking about rap) were into their Wu-Tang clan or NWA. Myyellow Sony Walkman was constantly playing  the smooth jazz sampled beats and playful...

More disappointment this week for Beatles fans when it was revealed that one of the most enduring records in pop history was broken. Having held the top spot for a non-solo artist with the most records in the top 100 since 1964 (with 71) the juggernaut of a show that is Glee can now count...

I was going to write a huge long rant about Justin Bieber…but having just given out about Lady Gaga, I’ve realised I just can’t go on…basically I don’t have a problem with Bieber (OK, certain things DO annoy me) but I’m just too old to be able to...

Cee Lo has been dropping awesome tracks his entire career but his profile really got a boost since he started working with DJ Danger Mouse and created Gnarls Barkley. Together they dropped the massively succesfull album “ST Elsewhere”. His latest track from the forthcoming...

A bit of Friday fun, The classic Wu-Tang video done with the help of Lego Blocks. Don’t think I need to explain any further, check it out after the jump! The cut is from Wu-tang’s debut album “Enter the Wu-tang (36 Chambers)” (1993) Damn, I’m old as it feels...

You can’t have ears on the side of your head(or any other place on your body for that matter) and not love the Roots. The Philadelphian Hip Hop collective is dropping their  9th full studio album. Check out their latest video from new album, How I Got Over released 22 june, after...

Get him to the Greek is releasing the 25th in UK, there’s a quite a few favorably reviews coming from the US where the movie opened up to moderately good numbers. Altough viral video‘s are nothing new in the arsenal of movie marketeers, I wanted to post this as I do have a...

Once in a while something comes along that ticks a lot of boxes in one go and takes you by surprise.  Whilst trying to find an MP3 of Moby’s God moving over the face of the waters, (taken from the soundtrack of the cops n robbers classic Heat) I came accross this remix from UNKLE....
