Hipsters EAT society

The last intifada (keefiyah) factory in Palestine is about to go out of business, with production now taking place entirely in China. The reason. Fucking hipsters.

Guns and Horses

Another day, another songstress; except every now and then there is always that one diamond protruding from the coal face of the current wonky pop scene. In my Irregular eyes it is undoubtedly the reverberating music that forms Ellie Goulding’s work.

After expecting her to blow up earlier in the year in the same wave that spat La Roux and Little Boots onto mainstream shores, we’re a bit perplexed why her endearingly twangy vocals and undoubtedly neat beats are not getting much airplay. Unlike her so-called peers, Ellie has remained cherished amoungst the indie blogger scene; especially for the way her lyrics and compositions lend themselves to notably unique synthy-based remixes. Her work along side the up and coming  knob-twiddler Starsmith (under the moniker of Goldsmith) seems quite fresh in a time of copy and paste pop hits. Good beats, fresh bass, pure and simple. Tune of choice for me is Guns and Horses, although the remixes of Starryeyed are definitely growing on me. Enjoy.

Harder than Chinese Algebra…

Love this version of Tom Waits’ ‘Pasties & a G-String’ recorded in Germany in 1977 - not quite sure what the German audience would have made of it, but it wins hard;

Lyrics of the track can be found here and are worth a chuckle.

R.I.P

Irrelevant of the claims that cast a shadow over his undoubted genius, there’s a clear need (should the early reports be true) to celebrate the work of Michael Jackson.

The Irregulars will be throwing an impromptu MJ-themed party at Irregular Towers to endulge in (almost all things) MJ.

Enjoy
