THEOPHILUS LONDON: “HUMDRUM TOWN” + “I WANT YOU”
Posted by lyle | Filed under Entertainment, Fashion, Film + Video, Music
In Internet time, this song and video are ancient. But in reality, Theophilus London has only been around since 2009 with the release of his synth soul debut mixtape JAM. Since the style driven Brooklynite has been on the scene, the blogs have been buzzing about every new piece of material he puts out – his latest project being a mixtape called I Want You. Freshly signed to warner bros, Mr. London is set to release his debut full length in early 2011, working with a host of artists ranging from TV on the radios’ Dave Sitek to Santigold collaborator John hill. As Mr. London derives his musical inspiration from greats like Joy Division, David Byrne, Morrissey, Prince and of course MJ, we can expect a sexily diverse pop record with a hip-hop edge soft enough but tough enough to please an array of listeners.
Below is the video for the first single ‘I Want You’ directed by all around bad ass Va$htie

The black Lips at the pool party 2009
The Brooklyn “Pool parties” – a series of seven free concerts taking place throughout July and August – returns this month to celebrate their fifth anniversary. Originally taking place at the abandoned Mcarren park pool gave the event its name but do to its rising popularity, the location had to be changed to the Williamsburg waterfront. Talks of cancellation were floating around throughout the year, but thanks to senator Charles E.Schumor and his vigilant backing of the event, the concerts will be taking place as normally scheduled. This years line-up is quite impressive ranging from electro powerhouse Chromeo to indie icon Deerhoof.
The firsts concert kicks off next Sunday July, 11th which will feature A friend of mine from back home who goes by the stage name PIctureplane {http://www.myspace.com/pictureplane}. So if you are at a loss for something to do for the next seven sundays the “Pool parties” got you covered!

As a child, she prayed to be blessed with the funk. At around 12:45am Friday night/Saturday morning in the company of a small, hot crowd in the basement of DD172, she once again confirmed that the Good Lord saw fit to answer that prayer in the affirmative.
