Beastie Boys’ Mike D turns in a remix for Portugal. The Man’s, “Modern Jesus.” He bumps up the drums like crazy—compare it to the original to gauge the kick in the pants. Both parties seem very happy with the collaboration:
‘In Their Shoes’ has been running as IDYSM’s resident interview series for some time now, unearthing the fascinating stories from some equally fascinating people who all have a unique role and relationship with sneakers.
De La Soul - 3 Feet High and Rising featuring custom sneakers from Portugal. The Man, Wavves & Nuggets inspired kicks.
The Beatles - Abbey Road. Paul McCartney wears custom sneakers designed by Ed Sheeran.
I don’t mean to alarm anyone but have you actually looked at the date recently? Shiiiiiit… Can you believe that 2013 is almost done and dusted?!
I recently had a mild freakout based on that fact and thought I’d better start preparing for the inevitable requests for my ‘end of year/best of’ lists so I fired up the ol’ iTunes to find out the tracks I’ve spun the most over the past 10 months…
Wanna get a sneak(er) peek of all the amazing kicks that are going up for auction on the 24th of this month before they go live on eBay?
That’s probably a really stoopid question isn’t it? so we’ll just hit you with the link shall we…
Sometimes we start to feel that we’re more like a Portugal. The Man appreciation page than any kind of actual music blog… but hey.. it’s not our fault everything they do is super rad.
Peep the video for Modern Jesus below, one of our fave cuts off our album of 2013 Evil Friends. It contains twerking (standard), quad bikes, Fat Albert & The Junkyard Gang (?), John Gourley with a bloodied mouth and other cool/weird shit.
Portugal. The Man’s music has always had hip hop sensibilities and their latest album Evil Friends was no exception, in fact with Danger Mouse on the boards it was probably the furthest they’ve ventured into that world.
DJ Terry Urban obviously saw the potential and has whipped up a super super dope EP where he teams PTM jams with some of his and everyone else’s favourite rappers. Jay Z. Check. Kanye. Check. Biggie. Check.
On this weeks installment of Five For Friday we take a look at 5 pretty ace new music videos doing the rounds featuring Portugal. The Man, Beach House, Flume, Eagle and the Worm and Phoenix.
