Florence + the Machine – Take Care (cover) (live)
Posted in Artists, Live Performances, Videos on December 3rd, 2011 by HyphenI’ve been meaning to post this up since last week, but I’ve been caught up in the post-Thanksgiving madness. Florence kills this version of Drake and Rihanna’s soon to be smash in this live performance for BBC Radio 1. As I’ve mentioned on Twitter, I can’t tell whether I live it and then Drake puts it in to song, or he writes about it and then it happens to me. Either way, I’m pretty sure he owes me royalties on my life right now.
Drake talks with DJ Semtex
Posted in Artists, Live Performances, Other Peoples' Interviews on June 19th, 2010 by HyphenIf you’re like me, you’ve been listening to Drake’s Thank Me Later album quite heavily the past few weeks, so you’ll probably also enjoy this interview with Semtex. While they don’t break down every song on the album (I would have been particularly interested to hear the story behind “Karaoke”), there’s a lot of good info in here. I did laugh at the “sounds like your parents played a big role in your life” question though. Generally speaking, that’s pretty much what they tend to do.
You can also check out footage of Drake murdering our Summer Jam last night over on the KUBE site. It was impressive to watch, thinking back to when we played him over 3 years ago on Sound Session. I never would have anticipated his success to be this great, but it’s really ill to have the hottest rapper of the moment actually be dope. Novel concept, I know.
Usain Bolt isn’t human
Posted in Sports, Videos on August 17th, 2009 by HyphenIf you missed the World Championships in Berlin over the weekend, here’s the final of the Men’s 100m Sprint, where Usain Bolt took 9.58 seconds to prove yet again that he’s the fastest man that has ever lived. Are you serious? He makes it look so easy too…it’s really unbelievable. Great commentary from the BBC host as well:
There are adjectives that are inadequate to describe this man. He is brilliant beyond compare. We have seen nothing like this ever, ever. He writes his own history with every stride that he takes.
How strange/perfect is it that the fastest man alive has the last name ‘Bolt’? Destiny.
Kanye West with DJ Semtex

Kanye skipped across the pond last week for the Glow In The Dark Tour and sat down with the BBC’s DJ Semtex for a great interview. ‘Ye is the illest artist in the game right now, [Jay-Z] plus his interviews are hotter [/Hov]. I highly recommend checking this out…quotables for days.
