Back To The Future - Nu-School R&B From 2006
There was a rumour that R&B was off on a new tip with Frank Ocean and Miguel leading the way, and would be riding on the blunted beats that the likes of Clams Casino had produced up for ASAP Rocky and Kendrick. And there was no doubt all we hipsters loved those albums more than anything that had happened since D’Angelo swept the world before him.
SPLENDOUR DIARY Day 3: That Guy
Get out of my tent at 11am, jaw hurts from the past two days of partying. Brenno looks up and throws me a can. Suck it back, feel a bit better. Fluoro singlet is looking worse for wear. Take it off and throw it in a recycling bin. Chicks love to see my tats anyway. Almost time to head in.
Head in with the boys at 1pm. Would have got in earlier but took an hour to work out where my Kanye West Sunglasses were.
Biffy Clyro's Unorthodox Jukebox
Scottish trio Biffy Clyro recently took the time to hit us with their unorthodox jukebox selections. Drawing from inspirational material and some current faves they’ve put together a solid playlist of 15 tunes including mostly rock classics from the likes of G'N'Rs, Nirvana, Pearl Jam and Pantera but there’s even a little bit of Frank Ocean and Bjork in there for good measure.
Ones To Watch in 2013 - BJ The Chicago Kid
Hot Damn. How much good R&B music is doing the rounds at the moment?! Frank Ocean and Miguel were on many a taste-makers best of 2012 lists and it looks like we’re in store for more goodness this year with new records expected from old faithfuls D'Angelo (fingers crossed) and Bilal.
