Easily one of the best commercial campaigns so far this year. Nuff said.

Well, it’s been a minute since I’ve been able to update my stuff here. Been crazy busy supporting my new single Higher feat. Sumeet, trying to get press done and everything. But in the midst of it all, I wanted to write about one of my favourite mixes in the whole entire world. Ran across it some time ago on imeem, and it’s been a staple of my listening box ever since. It’s MJ Cole’s Essential Mix from the BBC. No words need be said, really, except that if you’re an MJ Cole fan, this is, well, essential listening!

from billboard.biz:

The Virgin Megastore in New York’s Times Square will close down in the first quarter of 2009, according to a published report that quotes a senior executive at the Vornado Realty Trust.

That company and the Related Cos., both real estate companies, formed a joint- venture to acquire the 10-unit Virgin Entertainment Group North America in September 2007. Vornado owns 49% of Virgin, while Related owns 51%. Neither company was available for comment at deadline.

I first heard about this on last Thursday or so, but didn’t have a chance to write about it. But damn, this is pretty sad. I mean, aside from like 2 aisles of discs at Border’s and the crazy overpriced-ness of Barnes & Noble, there’s really NO WHERE to get CDs here in NYC anymore. Yeah, you can shoot to Best Buy, but it’s not the same. Same goes for Target or any of the other General-purpose stores that also “kinda sell music”. But on the whole, the “music store” as I once knew it is dead, and it saddens me quite a bit.

I mean, the music store was a place to congregate with like-minded people. Discuss tracks you like, and the whole nine yards. I mean, I was once a vinyl junkie, and I was pretty sad when those started going too. But this is like a whole different level.

Well, I guess it’s just time we figured out what the next step is… I hope it’s a good one.

Been away for a few days, getting a few things organized, but it is with great pleasure, that I (along with my partners over at Sound Villains Management present the latest A9 single, called Higher feat. Sumeet.

It was a mad fun collabo with my homegirl Sumeet (the girl whose melodious voice blessed us all withYou Blew It (C’est La Vie)). It was co-written with our other good friend Sandy Spady. We all got together, got in the zone, and banged this one out. If you like what you hear, you can purchase it from the following retailers:

Buy from iTunes
Buy from Amazon MP3
Buy from Napster

Alternatively, you can also buy it from my myspace page (via Snocap) if you’re a DJ and would like a full 320kbps version (although many would argue that Amazon’s 256kbps is more than enough, that’s neither here nor there).

Hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed making it!!

As some of you may know, I love design, and I am an amateur graphic designer. More than anything, I just like looking at neat pictures. While browsing around the world wide internets today, I came across this link from Smashing Magazine with a spectacular list of free PDF magazines. For those that don’t know, PDF magazines are like regular magazines, but in a downloadable (and printable) PDF format.

Check em out if you like design, photography, typography, etc… They’re wikkid!

Once again gotta big up my man Duncan Powell. He’s started his own music blog, at http://duncanpowell.blogspot.com/. It’s a blog dedicated, quite simply, to his favourite music. His music taste is impeccable, as showcased in his radio shows and mix tapes, so definitely look for this blog to be big. Had to add this to my spots over there on the right, cuz I’ll definitely be checking for it.
