Shout Out To Fatlace Magazine

On The Rock'n'Roll

If you've just graduated university, unemployed and searching for a career then this could be the thing for you. If you loath recruitment consultants and are finding it particularly hard during this recession to find employment then why not run away and join the circus?

Lego

As a kid Lego almost rivaled my love of Playmobil. Dun Know the Playmobil! Perhaps I was an odd child, but Playmobil was sick, I used to mix up the sets and create my own gangster adventures. Take one cowboy set, bandanas, guns etc, mix it up with the motor cross bikes and 4X4, and you had arm robberies, gang wars and all sorts of craziness happening on the bedroom carpet. Enough of memory lane and the peculiar mind of a young Nick Lewis, check out how people are now fusing their love of Lego with art, fashion and music.

UK Clothing label Lyrics4Lyrics have created a large array of items, most notably this Spongebob pendant for Pharrell.

Photographer Balakov takes some really cool pictures, recreating famous images using Lego. They are pretty amazing. you can check him out on Flickr here and a couple of my favorite's below.



Check out The Black Ghosts video for 'Some Way Through This'. It's pretty impressive, I've always wondered how you would go about making a video like this.

Fiddy Can Be Funny


I'm not a fan of 50 really, he's OK, 'Guess Who's Back' is a sick album, but a lot of the time, how he goes on, portrays himself and what not, isn't cool. This however is pretty jokes, I'm with 50 on this one, I'm not feeling the new Kanye record.

Angolan Kuduro

Ghetto Palms Kuduro Blend 2 - DJ Eddie STATS
A mix of this crazy hybrid musical mish mash of utter madness that is Angolan Kuduro. Its a bit like Baile Funk, its Brazilian counterpart, enjoy.

Trey Songz - 'Paper Planes Freestyle'

After a slew of remixes, this is the best version, IMO of MIA's 'Paper Planes.' Why so many American artists have flipped this record in the last couple months is a surprise to me as its quite an old record now... I presume MIA's out there doing promo or something... Anyways check Trey Songz killing it below.
