What the hell is on your forehead?

What the hell is on your forehead?

They’re on homeless people’s blankets in the city. They’re on satellites in outer space. They’re on baggage carousels in the airport. They’re tattooed on foreheads? Unsurprisingly, advertisements have infiltrated yet another faucet of our world: human skin. As if marketing in outer space wasn’t snooty enough, advertisers are now plastering brand names on the foreheads of your peers. Most would…

Bittersweet Melodies (Christian Strobe Remix) - Feist

Christian Strobe blends transcendental electronics with the delicate voice of Canadian singer-songwriter Leslie Feist. I can only imagine the type of rainbow brain circulations this song would induce to a candy-flipped David Blaine. Existentialism at it's best. And boundless in its entirety.

With lines like "I'll slam an MC like cowboys do cattle / And rattle any snake-motherfucker who wishes to battle," is it surprising Big Shug grew up in Murdapan, Massachusetts alongside lyrical god, MC Guru? No. Toughness aside, Big Shug's style and musical production is pure fire.
