Lykke Li

Dang. Lykke Li. This broad is get­ting major hype. Not only is she bring­ing it, but she’s really dope and tal­ented. If you haven’t heard of the Swedish newcomer’s “free spir­ited, per­for­mance pop” from my Urban Outfitter’s LSTN #1 post a while back, you are miss­ing out. But, don’t fret—it’s not too late.

Q-Tip Live at The Knitting Factory 2008-09-29

Def­i­nitely class and still trail-blazin’, here’s Q-Tip per­form­ing at The Knit­ting Fac­tory NY last night to pre­view his new, upcom­ing album Renais­sance. Other than the show being FREE with a SMS RSVP, Busta Rhymes sur­prises every­one and smashes the show.

Update:
Speak­ing of Renais­sance, there seems to be a leak of an old col­labo that Q-Tip did with D’Angelo. Here’s the track “I Believe” which is rumored to be in the new album. Source via Press Play Fash­ion For­ward.

Common — Universal Mind Control Teaser Video

Here’s Com­mon Uni­ver­sal Mind Con­troler teaser video f. Phar­rell posted by Kanye.

The fly-through part remind me some­what of a scene in James Bond (Sean Con­nery) were he’s play­ing that mis­sile game and gets shocked if he makes a mis­take. Any­one know which movie that one is?

Any­ways, sick video.
