The secret to pattern blocking is to make sure that all patterns contrast. Always remember that the main objective is the aesthetics.

FUNK IT! It's Friday

First up, lets ease into the weekend. Let me just say XL records is hipster musical heaven. If you're a nerdy musician armed with a drum machine, a keyboard, and an Apple computer, it's your life's goal to sign with XL records. Not to take the light from their other artists (to be explored another day). But, Jai Paul would be their next big thing, if anybody knew what he was doing. Enjoy the second of his two indie R&B sexy hits.

Next up, Solange, baby sister of Beyonce. Lil Sis gots moves. And a knack for 80s love songs. And an afro that rivals most tumbleweeds. And ridiculously fab friends. The video was shot in the Congo, where French fashion embedded itself in the 70s/80s.  Since then, outrageously colorful and tasteful garments have deeply rooted themselves in the Le SAPE (in American..."Society for People of Elegance and Ambiance)culture in the Congo. After watching the vid, you're going to end up at a Goodwill trying to track down every piece of neon bright suits. Ironically you'll probably end up looking like Hillary Clinton. You're winning. Read more about Le SAPE and their colorful fabulousness here, an article from Sabotage Times shedding light on the bright and beautiful Congolese Society.

If you're party's not started yet, shame on you. Let's continue... if it's not obvi, we love Purity Ring. Great remix with Danny Brown.

How about a little bit of "not at all new" mixed with a handful of "new age hip-hop remix funk." Attempt to resist doing some funky form of robot dance. I dare ya! Throw it back, Busta...
