rightMau, right Now. http://rightmau.posterous.com Music, images, links I find interesting here, there, everywhere. posterous.com Wed, 30 May 2012 06:57:00 -0700 VIDEO | Jay-Z & Kanye West - No Church In The Wild http://rightmau.posterous.com/video-jay-z-kanye-west-no-church-in-the-wild http://rightmau.posterous.com/video-jay-z-kanye-west-no-church-in-the-wild

When will director Romain Gavras explode into the mainstream and do feature-length films? It seems to be just a matter of time as his latest project is his biggest yet. Crafting the visuals for Jay-Z and Kanye's No Church In The Wild, Gavras again shows us he's no stranger to aggressive and political interpretations of modern music. He's also just plain good at documenting mayhem. My blog is quickly turning into a Romain Gavras fan page, but I honestly can't hate on this dude's grind...

Sat, 25 Feb 2012 10:15:00 -0800 NYTimes | A Week With Pharrell Williams http://rightmau.posterous.com/nytimes-a-week-with-pharrell-williams http://rightmau.posterous.com/nytimes-a-week-with-pharrell-williams

Pharrell-williams
Virgina Beach-native Pharrell Williams is a swiss army knife of cool. Having cut his teeth while producing hits for the biggest names in music in the 2000's (Madonna, Britney, The Clipse, Justin Timberlake, Jay-Z, Common... the list goes on), Pharrell eventually found the time to express his passion for fashion, skate culture, and entrepreneurship. He founded clothing lines Billionaire Boys Club and Ice Cream and his record label Star Trak. Now residing in Miami, he is pioneering his latest project as a music consultant for the 2012 Academy Awards alongside none other than Hans Zimmer

Needless to say, it was time we saw what his daily schedule looked like, from a style perspective, of course. The New York Times hung out with Skateboard P just last week:

WEDNESDAY, FEB. 15 In Miami, it’s usually warm, but I’m mostly indoors. I started off my day wearing a Billionaire Boys Club white crew neck T-shirt, blue denim jeans and SpongeBob SquarePants toe socks. I love SpongeBob; I just think he’s funny. Squidward is my favorite, though. If he was a human, I would hang out with him. I had a photo shoot scheduled with my good friend Nigo for his brand Human Made and we decided to have the shoot at my apartment. I modeled a lot of the clothes, which pay homage to the very early Levi’s cuts, and ended up really loving these striped shorts. They were simple but the fit was awesome. I tried to take it from Nigo, but he said he needed it.

After the shoot, I headed to the studio to meet up with Diplo. Kept on the jeans and changed into a blue flannel shirt, black N.E.R.D. logo skullcap and my custom Timberland six-inch black leather boots. I drew on the boots with white and red Sharpie paint pens. It’s a bit American mall rat- and punk-influenced: some cartoon graphics and a small Chanel CC logo. After, I stopped by one of my favorite stores in Miami, the Webster. The owners have great taste and they carry Chanel. I’m a really big fan.

THURSDAY, FEB. 16 A very rare day off. Aside from a few conference calls, I spent it at home with my family, so just put on a Gap white V-neck T-shirt, gray sweat pants and my oversized Mickey Mouse yellow slippers.

FRIDAY, FEB. 17 Off to New York for a photo shoot. I wore my black leather jacket: a biker style and a collaboration between Junya Watanabe Comme des Garçons and Vanson. Nigo introduced me to Junya Watanabe’s designs a few years ago and I’ve liked Junya’s sensibility ever since: out of the box, but not trying too hard. I added a blue and red flannel shirt and a black skullcap. Our next destination was L.A. To prevent myself from getting sick on the plane, I wrapped a Junya plaid and camouflage print scarf around my neck.

SATURDAY, FEB. 18 First session of rehearsals for the Oscars today. The weather was beautiful and sunny so I wore a Human Made logo T-shirt, RRL blue selvedge denim jeans and my black Lanvin sunglasses. On my feet were the six-inch Timbs. I’m a creature of habit. You can always expect the temperature to drop at night here in L.A., so I brought my blue Mark McNairy workman’s jacket with me.

SUNDAY, FEB. 19 Day 2 of rehearsals at Capitol Records. Still can’t believe that I have the opportunity to be involved. Hans and I collaborated, but it’s mainly his world, which is like a university. I’m just lucky that I got a full scholarship. Wore my default outfit: a Billionaire Boys Club white V-neck shirt, blue jeans, black N.E.R.D. logo skullcap, Junya Watanabe black leather jacket and the Timbs with red laces. Tied a gray and red flannel shirt around my waist. Grunge, baby!

MONDAY, FEB. 20 Presidents’ Day. Worked with Corinne Bailey Rae in one room and my new hip-hop artist Buddy in another room. I decided to wear a gray V-neck shirt, navy hoodie, black RRL jeans and black low-cut Chuck Taylor sneakers. I also brought along an Hermès Haut à Courroies bag in camel. I use it for my computer.

TUESDAY, FEB. 21 Another session today with Corinne. We spoke yesterday on doing another track together. I went to the studio wearing an olive Billionaire Boys Club V-neck T-shirt in this super soft pima cotton, jeans and tan Timberland chukka boots. (I also drew a small Chanel CC logo on this pair.) After, I had to attend a dinner party at the Chateau Marmont. I wore a white V-neck shirt and dark blue Ralph Lauren denim jeans. Over that was a gray Junya blazer in this wool sweater material. It also had brown suede front pockets and elbow patches. On my feet, I had on black wingtip boots, a classic style but bright yellow soles. Lastly, I put on this white gold and diamond ring, superoversized — you know, for the sake of fashion.

The first single after her 2008 debut, Santigold is back, again making her own path in this rebel-rock-electronic track that is definitely catchy. Hook yourself to that bass line and let it ride.

Download below. But don't forget to support the lady on iTunes.

That new MIA music video is so necessary right now. Always political and always cool. Shouts to Romain Gavras for killing another one YET AGAIN.

Back from a hiatus after their brilliant debut album, my favorite band of 2009 and then some, the Swedish trio Miike Snow, releases their first single from their upcoming second album.

Production on Devil's Work, as on all their records, is on point. It's a little-known fact that these vets have produced tracks for the likes of Madonna and Kylie Minogue among a few others. Check it out!

My Dad just randomly emailed me this:

"Subject: The world travels...

...and we're all traveling with it. Within the milky way everything is moving. It's like there was no beginning and therefore no end. All events that develop now and have happened in the past, are just part of the ongoing spiral cycle of everything that changes after the impact or effect of other events.
Later. Dad

Loving the video to an already awesome song by St. Vincent. I'm a sucker for this tone and cinematography, and it doesn't hurt that St. Vincent is attractive in a quirky sort of way.

Dominique-young-unique

The fresh, new high-octane rapper straight outta Tampa,  Dominique Young Unique, dropped her third mixtape Stupid Pretty that's making waves. This track is probably my favorite. Who knows how long she'll last with the mixtapes, but I don't doubt we'll see her featured alongside big names soon. Grab Gangster Whips below.

Santigold-spankrock-alexander-wang

Fans of Santigold and Spankrock may have seen their faces plastered around the city the past few weeks in posters for Alexander Wang's T collection for Fall '11. The campaign also serves as the debut of a remix of Santigold's latest single, Go (found here), by Switch (of Diplo/Major Lazer fame).

All this name-dropping is getting me dizzy. Enjoy the video and music below:

Santigold_1
Santigold-go
Her debut album in 2008 seemed like it changed the entire music scene, and then as many newcomers do, she fell off the map. Ms Santi is finally back. Santigold's new track Go! has a great spooky, punky, rocky attitude and a total deviation from the hipster sound that dominated the music scene 2 years ago. Props to Q-Tip for the daring production, and shouts to Karen O. (of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs) for lending her unique voice. Santi's new sound reinforces her desire to stay an innovator. There was no way you could label her before and I am sure it'll stay that way. Ready, set, Go!

Now becoming a recognized video director, Romain Gavras was tapped to shoot the latest Adidas ad. It's understandably more tame (to say the least) than his previous work with M.I.A. and Justice but still true to his signature cinematic and gritty visuals. I'm happy to see the French director sticking to his musical roots by featuring the new single Civilization, by Justice.

Had the fortune of catching up-and-comers Miami Horror at the infamous yet intimate Knitting Factory in Brooklyn, NY. The sold out show was definitely as memorable and high-energy as I'd hoped. Seems MH weren't as prepared for the excitement as the performance culminated in fans crashing the stage during Holidays, barely leaving any space for the Aussies themselves (see my blurry BB pics).  Lastly, who this day and age covers Call Me Al by Paul Simon in an encore anyway? Miami Horror of course!
