Pursuit Grooves dropped this one at the end of her Boiler Room set the other night, it is amazing. Imagine three 11 year olds rapping about going to college with Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings playing them along… then stop imagining it, because that is actually what this song is.

Jackal Youth is an ‘anonymous’ producer, but his tracks reek of ‘funkier-side-project-from-harder-hitting-dubstep-artist’ more than anything. A reliable source informs me Jackal Youth is actually Kode9…but don’t take my word for that, just check out his new EP on Reduction.

Roof Light is amazing… it’s really understated dubstep that jumps around from melancholy to ecstatic. His new EP on MJ Cole’s Prolific label is a total mixed bag, including what sounds like a fuzzy Yo La Tengo instrumental at the end - definitely a good thing.

White kids and black hipsters are going to love this.

Hey look! Beer cans have more than one use than to just get you shitfaced - you can take some beautiful long exposures using them too.

this week’s finest from our Flickr Group.

Last month i went to hang out with a load of other kids who also all think they are ‘photographers’ in New York. We all got drunk a lot of forties, did stupid things and took a lot of photos of each other doing them; and in an entirely self-indulgent fashion i feel like i want to show you them too.

‘This series of images reference a key concept in photographic history named ‘equivalence’. Invented by Alfred Stieglitz, a figure who promoted photography as an art form, equivalence in its simplest form tries to understand the relationship between a photograph, the photographer and the viewer. These images were shot around the area I was brought up

in 1906, there was a huge earthquake in San Francisco and everything got turned into rubble; and while everyone else was screaming and dying, George Lawrence was flying a big balloon in the air with a fuckload of cameras on them, capturing crazy fires and destruction, in amazingly high quality.
