Cazwell’s earworm: I Seen Beyonce At Burger King
by Having collaborated over the years with the likes of Amanda Lepore, Larry Tee, Boy George, and David Lachapelle, Cazwell’s fun mix of electrified dance music and old school hip hop embodies the same spirit of goofball experimentation that has been the hallmark of artists like M.I.A., Neneh Cherry, Eminem and Deee-lite. All of which is wonderfully realised on the catchy as all hell lead single — I Seen Beyonce At Burger King — from his new album, Watch My Mouth. You can download it for free, along with new music from Deastro, Mos Def and Polly Scattergood, via the Music Download section of the Lost At E Minor site [psst, it's in the third column]

New Banksy artwork angers the Catholic Church
Banksy has struck again, this time offending the Catholic Church with a bold artwork that critiques their stance on ongoing child abuse scandals. Banksy has taken a replica of a bust of an eighteenth century member of the Catholic hierarchy and added multi-coloured tiles to the face — pixelating it — as a comment on what he considers to be the Church’s cover-up. ‘I’m never sure who deserves to be put on a pedestal or crushed under one’, Banksy noted. And who are we to disagree? Read more
Tattoo artist sued by ex-girlfriend for obscene design
Oh boy, this is so bizarre it could only be true. Apparently a Dayton, Ohio, tattoo artist has been slapped with a $100,000 lawsuit by his ex-girlfriend for tattooing an image of, erm, excrement with flies on her back rather than the scene from Narnia that she had requested. The reason? He’d recently found out that she had been cheating on him with one of his buddies. Damn! And here we were thinking this was the hot new look for trailer park trash crowd.

i heard this track at Berlin in Chicago last night and it blew my mind. Totally don’t agree with you, @kinski, that this is itself a vehicle for product placement or a celebration of consumerism, I think it’s actually quite ironic, really funny and has a catchy baseline (would totally remix with some beatrepeats and a harder kick, though)

The duo of Brendan Monroe and Evah Fan are one of those creative, powerhouse couples. Though two entirely individual artists, the influence they exert upon one another is subtle yet undeniable. Both create the kind of art that that makes you giddy with pleasure, while the lack of pretension puts you completely at ease. You get the undeniable sense that these are two people who simply live and breathe creativity and love every moment of it. Two amazing artists with a wholly individual take on life and the world around them. I had the pleasure to grill them both. Read more

it’s hard to wrap my 2009 shaped head around this being music, it’s essentially advertising. It’s full of product placement, brand association and the repetitive use of the burger chains name convinces me it’s not art, it’s jinglepop.
Does that make it irrelevant? In this day and age we are super soaked with advertising, perhaps it’s just natural to have it spew forth as music, the advertising industry have done well.
