3rd Nation - Real Love // I Believe

Awesome track! which I'd completely forgotten about.

And here's another, real house vibes yo'all, in HELLsinki 1990s styleeeeee! (Even comes with some authentic GSM signal noise for that additional flava in yo' ear... )

Temple Lords 420

Ok, the length of the video is 4:20, obviously. I personally like the fact that there are religious options for those indecisives. Although this guy may be a bit crazy in the coconut.

Hefla Nyah - Tainted

Call it a remake, call it a version, call it a remix, call it stealing. What ever you call it, it works in reggae. This time a new talent, Hefla Nyah originally from JA, raised in Philly, has his way with Soft Cell's Tainted Love. This time with a bit more conscious roots vibe featuring Guyanese Natural Black.

Scared of heights?

I have no idea what these kids are saying or what they have eaten/inhaled, but I get chills just by watching this.

NOW HEAR DIS! BIM!

"Set Up The Mic was initially recorded in 2008 by Buju for Young Blood Records on the Rapid Burst Riddim. Intended as a just-for-fun freestyle, a studio engineer, fixing levels at the beginning of a studio session, pressed "record" by accident while the Grammy-winning singjay was voicing."

FREE BUJU !!! FIYA PON BABYLON !

Po-Po Brutality: If You See Something, Film Something

This video was created as an example of the importance of filming the police.

Video provides transparency, accountability, and an accurate account of incidents that occur. It is no secret that the United States has a serious problem with police abuse, brutality, and corruption. It is essential for civilians to document their encounters with police officers to ensure transparency, accountability, and safety to all of those involved. Police departments have, for too long, tried to bully, intimidate, threaten, arrest, or otherwise harass law abiding citizens from recording the activities of law enforcement in public.

Enough is enough! It is time for all of us to take a stand and expose police brutality when we witness it. Even if the officers behavior is correct, and justifiable, we still encourage the recording of the police activities for the transparency and accountability that is desperately needed in many departments. If you see something, film something, the freedom of press begins with you!

Hooked on Nardwuar

I'm completely addicted to watching these Nardwuar interview videos these past few weeks. Seriously, all I do is watch these clips. This guy is my friggin hero right now. And there's like 27 pages of embedded Youtube videos right here. Just to let you know.

When the weather is like it is and you're too lazy to go to the nearest indoor skateboarding facility, you can always play with your fingers. I think this video's quite neatly executed. And yes, it's an ad...

And Alaine shines through this one as well

Prog, proggy, proggier, finnished

Not being a conoisseur of progressive rock I have not shared any finnish prog bands here, but there's always a first time for everything.

Here you go, Wigwam at its' best. 10 minutes of musical mayhem, instrumental geniousness and goofy (sorry, meant "hipster") looks.

DMCA can suck my balls

Yeah,

Blogger had to remove our mixtape post for the On the run -mixtape from a complaint by Traci Crippen from RIAA. The complaint states that "certain content in your blog is alleged to infringe upon the copyrights of others". And the DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) complaint is based on "unauthorized reproductions of sound recordings by artist including CHINO"

What puzzles me is that on this blog we have not published nor uploaded any unauthorized material by Chino. What we published was a link to a mixtape on another service. So if linking is illegal by some US DMCA bia**es then we're quilty.

Well, I removed the name of Chino and reposted the daymn thing. The bad thing is that the original file that was on Mediafire is also deleted by DMCA complaints.

So let's see it this post gets moderated.

p.s. we're not blaming Blogger in the first place, but DMCA. Although Blogger could have bigger balls as well in cases like this. Or Google, or who ever pulls the strings here. Oops, now Google guys will delete this post.. Maybe we should insult Apple as well and get the Apple fanboys against us?

Megaupload song

Sooooo. We love 'em file sharing sites as well, but here Kanye, Drake and Diddy and other friends sing the praise for Megaupload. I'm puzzled. Honestly. How did they get these guys to promote this?

Anyways, two things I'd like to highlight from this clip.

1) We've been wondering where the heck is Lil Jon. Well, on this video.

2) The chorus melody is soooo world music that it would make Peter Gabriel and Wyclef Jean jealous.

Vybz Kartel escape?

This is real life Prison Break, not a TV show! Apparently Vybz Kartel managed to escape with a couple of cellmates from prison in JA. Read more details here

This is the biggest prison break in Jamaica ever, let's see how the Gaza Don will continue the escape. Vybz talking the talk and walking the walk! Badman a badman!

EDIT: Latest news: this might be a hoax, a rumour, just a media stunt to keep Vybz in the headlines? So say the police dem in jamaican media Who believe di police dem?

EDIT part deux. Ok, it seems like Hype Life Magazine started this rumor. Here's a direct quote from their website:

"I could appeal to the fact that it was written for the sake of a good joke, that I was just considering a good marketing move toward my website, but not expecting anyone to be naive enough to take it serious. "

Well, we at the Kriton camp find this ish extremely funny. Makes you think about journalism and quality of information sources. And it's powerful marketing for the website, and I guess Vybz don't mind the free publicity either.

Evolution of rappers' pants

This is the way we roll. From midgets to stripper-lookalikes.

Dubstep cover with wikkid guitar stuff in it

Ok, I admit it, I haven't seen this kinda stuff before. I mean the system the bass player and guitarist are using from 0.57 onwards? This freaks me out. Geeks. Cool.

Apparently it's Hot Hand by Source Audio. Gotta get my hands on that.

Well Helsinki ain't New York, but it's awesome that they're making songs about it like it was. Big up. And it's a great posse here. Stadi, respect!

More Rudy

I forgot to post this a couple of weeks ago when it came out, but it's still fresh. Ruudolf & Karri Koira doing their remake of the summer hit "Danza Kuduro".

So it's las manos arriba, cintura sola in finnstylee! Mammat riivaa!

Now what do you know about it?

JVG AKA Jari & Villegalle may be a bit overhyped and a bit too icehockey lovin' for my taste. But when Ruudolf gets on board it's a killah combo.

And if they rap about prefering snapbacks to one size caps; I'm all for it.

On the floor - banging then drums

I'm hooked to these drumming videos. This time there's this chick banging to the dancefloor filler "On the floor" by J-Lo & Pitbull. Puerto Rico meets Miami meets this college chick. I mean, you gotta love this.

Whoa!

Drummers wanted?

Way back I posted a couple of links to bedroom heroes. These guys are the ones who rock their instrumens in their bedroom and share it on youtube.

This guy "Cobus" a bit more evolved; he prolly does these vids in his living room. And he sells some instruction vids apparenlty as well.

A decent player, no doubt. But funny.

Ludachrist show

Fact #1: Ludachrist in not the same as Ludacris.
Fact #2: Mash Ups will be trendy in 2013. Again. Trust me. I know, sad really.
Fact #3: Brian from the streetz is the man. GTL 4 Life. Jersey Shore 4 life.
Fact #4: How confusing this video might seem, it has as a cool piano version of Axel F theme.

Yuck!

If you love that 90's indie rock, then you'll heart will throb for this. It's got it all; the J Mascis howling guitars, Sebadoh riffs, Sonic Youth distorted vocals... You'll recognize their idols easily, but this is done so honestly and nicely that it's a winner.

Stardust Ballroom 1984, Hollywood, Los Angeles

"Here it is, a moment in time, courtesy of Al Flipside who documented the first Samhain L.A. show at the now demolished Stardust Ballroom on Sunset in Hollywood. There is no overdubbing or audio correcting, just the raw live show in all of its pandemonium and insanity. If you were lucky enough to be there, you know what it was like. If not, maybe this will give you a glimpse into a musical genre that was ignored by the mainstream music media but went on to influence generations of musicians and music fans worldwide. Go." - Glenn Danzig

This is a cool move, props to Nokia.

This is pretty cool.

Nice Pat Benatar sample and then some from a dude with the most generic rap name, Young Twist. Nevermind the pistol wiggling in the video, this joint is pretty awesome. And apparently still quite underground, with only a couple hundred Youtube views.

Dear christ. This one has the potential to be my fave of the month. Thump, Thump.

Do not shop from Wantglasses.com

Online shopping is usually lots of fun. And if you're considering to buy eyewear, sunglasses, prescription glasses, frames etc., it can save you a lot of money.

But it can also be tedious, when you're dealing with shops with lousy customer service. So I would strongly recommend not to buy from Wantglasses.com. They have a cool offering, nice prices but they suck at customer service. They do respond to your email relatively quickly, but they do not return your money in time if you have cancelled your order. Read my full rant here

They suck. I repeat: wantglasses sucks.

However I would strongly recommend Your Online Optician. They have good service, deliver what they promise. Hands up for them!

Whoonga is killing township peeps

Addicts have always been innovative. What makes whoonga different - a fine white powder, added to marijuana and smoked - is its composition.

It's a blend of detergent powder, rat poison and, crucially, crushed up ARVs, or antiretroviral drugs distributed free to HIV sufferers.

This is some sick s**t.

Christmas Vybz

You know that the silent night is around di corner when Vybz Kartel comes up with a new xmas song. This time teaming up with Sheba he's here with "Like Christmas". Maybe not so out there as 2009 with Gaza Christmas when Vybzie was chanting about killing Santa (!), but this time the overuse of autotune mixed with obscene & profane lyrical still makes it a statement for the holiday season. Just plain xmas spirit, seen!

So for your xmas party of choice you can go either for the...
