AS SEEN ON E.G.

I always get asked by some peeps on twitter/facebook

"Elliot where are you trainers from - the ones in the Kickstarts video?"

or

"Ex that tshirt you wore at the gig last night was crazy - where's it from?"

So here's some images and links to stuff I've been rocking recently...

UK TOUR SELLING FAST

A few years back I used to do some gigs where only 50 people would turn up, they were still quite rowdy and women did often flash me, like this...



There was often a bit of crowd surfing too...



Don't be put off though. Now the shows have moved to bigger venues but the party atmosphere remains the same

My UK Tour was announced last Friday and already tickets are selling fast. Here is the list of dates and age restrictions

Lacoste Vs. LA MJC

Jesus Christ these are sexual creps...

They're only making 75 pairs so the chances of you and me getting them is zero

Now That's What I Call Vuvuzela

Look at the tracklisting on the front. TOO FUNNY

KICKSTARTS - David Stewart Remix

David Stewart plays guitar for me and gyrates his hips on stage. You probably know this all too well

He has also produced an emotive power ballad remix of Kickstarts

You could imagine this at the end of a 90's romantic feature film - just as the couple are reunited after a huge emotional loss

CHIDDY BANG - Sooner Or Later

Look out for the random Chelsea flag (scum) knocking about in there...

Great video

BIG BOI - BUY IT !!!

I was lucky enough to get a promo copy. One of the best albums of 2010 so far. Make sure you check it out...

NEW STRYDER

First few times I heard this I wasn't sure and then on the 5th listen I was like "yep, it's a hit"

Shot on location in Barbados

I like the video A LOT

ALOE BLACC

My pal Thomas Coxhead sent me a link to this guy the other day. The album is just unbelievably brilliant. One of the best of the year - up there with Gorillaz and Eminem. This is for anyone who's a fan of Plan B and - if you're a bit older - Bobby Womack

CHILEAN ELECTRO POP

The World Cup is on. This means we can all take a massive interest in the cultural traditions of the other 31 countries in the competition and pretend we're all global and that for just a coupla weeks

Chile are in the World Cup. They also have a music scene. Don't ask me how I found this video. The band is Tronic. The song is Abracadabra. The genre is Chilean Powerpop. The video is completely mental. Mad as a bag of snakes

CREPS YOU SHOULD, CREPS YOU SHOULDN'T

You SHOULD rock these...

THE SUPRA THUNDER


You SHOULDN'T rock these...

ADIDAS RELACE BOOT

POCKET TV WITH TINIE

A nice piece this

After few minutes you can hear clips of 'Written In The Stars' - potential single maybe??

KANYE STUDIO MAGIC

Leaked footage of Kanye working on a new beat - maybe for his new album??

NEW SWAY

Sway has always been one of the best UK rappers for me. The wordplay is serious. It's football season init so the name "Blow The Whistle" seems apt. I even get a mention...

WIDEBOYS & MAJESTIC...

... IN THE VIP REMIX FEAT B-LIVE and BOY BETTER KNOW

This makes me want to relive my youth...

Star Wars x Adidas "Cantina"

This has been up on the net a few days already but is too good not to post

Star Wars and Adidas continue their recent collabo with an incredible piece of viral marketing which uses original footage from Episode IV and incorporates new footage of Snoop Dogg, Franz Beckenbauer, David Beckham, Ciara amongst others...

Chilly Gonzalez - NEVER STOP

Love a bit of Chilly Gonzalez

The lyrics on this are genius (in a kinda self-aware post-modern take on post-modern rap way)

Best thing though is the hula-hopping girl who comes in at about 50secs

SONY 3D TV ADVERT

Highlighting the problems one should expect when they will inevitably have to watch 3D on non-compatible television sets...
