In case you haven't been keeping up with Kingdom, he's officially blowing up. I first became familiar Kingdom's music when he produced my friends' band OMG Michelle a couple of years back, but since then he's gotten huge on "the blogs", signed to A-Trak and Nick Catchdub's Fool's Gold label and now he's set to play FabricLive in London. In preparation for that set, he's put out an awesome new mix featuring tracks from his upcoming Mind Reader EP, some remixes he's done and other heavy jams definitely worth checking out.
Mind Reader comes out as a digital and 12" release on February 2nd on Fool's Gold and you can preorder a (very) limited edition 10" from Acephale now...but in the meantime check out the solid FABRICLIVE/Fool's Gold promo mix and a track from (female!) producer Cooly G.

I got a gal pal named Keisha who recently pointed out to me that thugs are #1. Which is kind of true. Actually it's really true. Last night was spent helping her troll through Chicago's Craigslist for thug boyfriends who will treat a bitch good but isn't afraid to have a yelling match in public outside my local 7-11 (Did you know most 7-11's are safe zones? I just found this out the other day while buying cigs and a double gulp. Hells yeah!). Basically, she's looking for a hyper-man. And I'm jumping aboard this ship cause I'm done with nice boys who turn out to be stupid pieces of shit and mooch all my money and shit. Fuck that. Get a job, hipster queers with nautical tattoos.
But my girlfriend is onto something. I want a man in the streets and a quasi-freak in the sheets. I mean, at least take me to Olive Garden first or something, you know? Soup/salad/breadsticks for lunch and Red Lobster cheesy biscuits for dinner. Now that's my ideal date. As of right now, I can't even get a dude to bring me to McDonald's. FML.
Here are some songs I'd entice thugs with. And knowing my luck, they'd be like WTF is this shit?
FUNK ROCK:
Hot Chip - Sexual Healing
Mary Jane Girls - In My House
Missy Elliott - Pussycat
Gorillaz - Stylo (ft. Bobby Womack & Mos Def)
P.S.
This is how you accept an award. Gaga, your time is over.

Gossip's Brace Paine has made an awesome New Year's mix available to download on his blog. The mix is a collection of "fairly obscure" records and tapes he's been listening to. I've definitely never heard of most of the music on the mix, but there's some really great stuff on it that you should check out!
You can download the mix from ART THROB and here's a song from it to get you even more interested!

Everybody loves a good girl band (especially Jo Kwon!). And if you don't, let's face it, you're pretty much a fail in my book (I actually have a book). Girl bands are the foundation of our society. They sing. They dance. They act all cute when they're on TV and you can't help but go "AWWW!". Then the 90's happened and we got an influx of Riot Grrrl bands. AND THEY STILL MADE MY HEART MELT. Cause they were some real ass bitches in a fake ass world.
The most important part of these awesome bands? The music: iconic anthems of boredom, empowerment, sleaze, and being total badasses. We had the Mary Jane Girls inviting men into their house in the 80's. Bikini Kill becoming BFF's with an alleged punk rock dyke in the 90's (I tried to find that bitch and SHE DON'T EXIST!). And nowadays we got Britney grinding her mommy and daddy spots on whoever is around to take the punishment. Who else could get away with that? Certainly no male pop star/group! Could the Backstreet Boys rub their junk all over Dave Letterman's desk? NO! They rub their junk all over each other and still can't get a reaction. Could JC Chasez get a woman to willingly sleep over? No. He can't even get Justin Timberlake to return a goddamn phone call.
Women created this world and in the end, they will dominate the world. Lincoln Park trixies can deport themselves to Alaska (Think of it as a safe animal haven). So let's give it up for girl bands, because they gave us some of the best music we will ever hear in our puny miserable lives.
Young Creature "Let's Hear It For The Girls!" Mix
1. Statement Of Vindication - Bikini Kill 2. So Tough - The Slits 3. Rock'n'Roll Machine - The Donnas (Like, the only good song they've ever had) 4. Out In The Streets - The Shangri-Las 5. Don't Make Waves - Gossip (Brace Paine is an honorary woman) 6. Baby It's You - The Shirelles 7. Cherry Bomb - The Runaways 8. He's A Rebel - The Crystals 9. Tell Me - Wonder Girls 10. The Promise - Girls Aloud 11. Simon Says - The Pipettes 12. It's Gonna Take A Miracle - Laura Nyro with Labelle 13. Maybe - The Chantels 14. New Scars - Bangs 15. Hot Topic - Le Tigre 16. Up - The Saturdays 17. Hot Issue - 4minute 18. Generator - Elastica 19. Turn Of The Century - Chicks On Speed 20. Genie - SNSD 21. Gimme Brains - Bratmobile 22. Retreat! The Most Familiar! Extensive, I Bet! - Erase Errata 23. Overload - Sugababes 24. Blue With A Broken Heart - The Ikettes 25. Erase You - ESG 26. Stop - Spice Girls 27. Pack Your Things And Go - The Softies
Brought to you by Jo Kwon!
Also, can we all gather together with a candlelight vigil and pray for Jo Kwon (My favorite wacky might-be-gaysian) who has been recovering from SWINE FLU. Although I have to be honest, if I contracted any sort of illness from him, I don't know if I'd be that upset about it. It probably involves a lot of glitter and dance aerobics to shake those fevers off. A bitch got dancing to do!
