The Very Best: Esau Mwamwaya, Johan Karlberg and Etienne Tron

I have been for­tu­nate to find some nuggets lately this past week. From across the world, I stum­bled upon The Very Best. It is a col­lab­o­ra­tion project between Esau Mwamwaya & Radio­clit (Johan Karl­berg & Eti­enne Tron).

Diesel XXX Party 20081011

Diesel, “the Ital­ian jeans, casu­als and other cloth­ing man­u­fac­turer”, has been pro­mot­ing their “XXX Party” which will be launch­ing on Octo­ber 11, 2008. It will be held in 17 cities around the globe:Tokyo, Bei­jing, Dubai, Athens, Helsinki, Ams­ter­dam, Barcelona, Copen­hagen, Milan, Munich, Paris, Oslo, Stock­holm, Zurich, Lon­don, Sao Paolo, and New York.

Head­lin­ers include: N.E.R.D., M.I.A., Chaka Khan, Joel & Benji Mad­den, 2ManyDJs, Soul­wax, Mr. Oizo, Junkie XL, Steve Aoki, Uffie, David Holmes, Pedro Win­ter, The Cool Kids, Lind­strom, Sis­ter Bliss, New York Pony Club, The View, Mark Ron­son, and many more.

Now, other than a clean, grungy splash page for the party, the mar­ket­ing team came up with a wid­get (promo video) to have party goers and sup­port­ers alike for­ward the word to their friends and fam­i­lies. I got a laugh out of it and think the use of the illus­trated parts and/or car­toons were awe­some. That and enti­tling it SFW XXX is pretty genius:

Thanks to Mik for for­ward­ing the video.

M.I.A. in the City

M.I.A. Wednesday 10/5/05 at SF

M.I.A. (aka. Maya Arul­pra­gasam) will be in SF this week. She’ll be over at the Vir­gin Mega­s­tore doing an in-store per­for­mance and sign­ing this Wednes­day, Octo­ber 5th at 6pm. Hope to catch that and get some picks of her in action.

Mean­while, the same night, she’ll be head­ing over to The Grand Ball­room at Regency Cen­ter (1300 Van Ness) for a show. Only $20 (avail­able through tick­et­mas­ter). I hope to catch this one for sure rather than see­ing her at Oak­land Arena on Decem­ber 1st cause of the smaller venue fac­tor. Even though she’s duo-ing with Gwen at Oak­land. Damn—its both a win-win sit­u­a­tion. Choices, choices, choices.

Any­ways, if you aint doing Wednes­day night, those are the places to be to get hit by smash­ing, new sound. It’ll for sure rock your socks. See you there.
