Ian Svenonius on Ike Turner. Pics from my shows in Orlando and Houston and the Kid Cudi release party. Matthew Africa blog (great mp3s!). Andrew WK talking. Lemon Red is back. Bottle service!

In Florida tonight and tomorrow. Come through!

Shout to Philadelphia for some good-ass rap music (Peedi Crakk’s Snocap store isn’t fucking around neither). Shout to at the devil. Shout to Ayres, who has a new record out on Gamm. Shout to Barry just because, even though the size-M “New Jersey For Obama” tees have been back-ordered since Super Tuesday.

And you should buy them! Kid Cudi’s “Day ‘N’ Nite” and Jokers Of The Scene’s “Y’all Know The Name,” both gems if I do say so myself.

I will be playing in Texas this weekend, did a quick Q&A with Central Booking for the Houston show. Come on out!

Live from HMV Japan (thanks to King Most for the snappy snaps).

Bunch of shows to the left (to the left), the Fool’s Gold blog finally moved from our MySpace page to a place where people will actually read it (plus we got shirts for sale!), Cosmo Baker drops science, DJ Soul has fun with the 90s, Snoop has fun with the 80s, and Todd Terje has fun with GNFnR.

Also people seem really into the vinyl rips, so I will keep them coming: here’s the 12″ version of “Finally” edited for mixing out after the 2nd chorus, made real quick tonight to play at the High Top Fades release party.

CeCe Penniston “Finally (Mix Edit)”

Earlier this month I went on tour with A-Trak to promote our Fool’s Gold label and artists. It was a face-melter.

All the tour-related YouTubes, thefader.com blog posts, and assorted photos/recaps are now collected here, go check them out.

In other label news, Kid Sister’s “Pro Nails” single is out now (vinyl, iTunes), and a video is going to follow real, real soon. Sammy Bananas’ High Top Fades EP is also out (vinyl, Snocap), and he whipped up a dope promo mix of ’90s school dance heaters to serve as a cabbage-patching companion piece.

Also - site looks different now, don’t it? “Soft launch” (pause), it’s a work in progress…
