That Kween G is a problem. While I was away eating tacos and trying not to get kidnapped by taxi drivers, she was filling in on my show plotting a coup. This is her interview with Kurtis Blow backstage at Tone Nightclub in Sydney, before his performance. Pssssttt… whatever.

Here at Stolen Records we endorse Global Bass and club goodness and of course pointy boots. Check the Vbs tv special for a mildly informative look into why these kids are getting their rave on in oversized pointy boots.
The 3ball sound has been bubbling along in Mexico City and Monterrey for a while with cross over love throughout Mexico. Fronted up by seemingly well known wunderkind Erick Rincon, Rincon and a whole bunch of other young kids are making fun tunes for anyone game enough to play them in the club. Here are some jams on a similar tip I wish I could play out but probably never will.

MP3: Dj Alan Rosales – No Debiste feat Osa manosa (Warmits)
Also here is an older tune from super talented Melbourne Homie Lewis Can Cut with a remix from Chico Ye. This tune made me start checking for this sound a while back and is definatly club friendly banger.

Basically a really long video for ‘Make Some Noise’, it’s the full length version of ‘Fight For Your Right Revisited’. Featuring an allstar, cast the Beastie Boys of the future challenge the Beastie Boys of the past to a “super fresh old school dance off”. Not quite Thriller, but probably better than Kanye’s efforts. Your thoughts?
Oh and here is ‘Don’t Play No Game That I Can’t Win’ with Santigold. It is like ‘Shove It’, but with the Beastie Boys instead of Spank Rock, and not really as good… but still pretty okay.

More proof that half casts are hotter. This sexy piece of instrument is part french horn, part clarinet and fully amazing. Invented by Adolphe Sax in 1841, the Saxophone was brought into the world to have the projection of a brass instrument with the agility of woodwind, and the ability to overblow at the octave. Oooooohh baby!
Inspired by youtube sensation, Sergio Flores the Sexy Sexophonist Saxogram, we are paying tribute to the Saxophone. This horn has been used to add a bit of sex to military bands, early rock, and jazz, but it wasn’t till the 1980s that the music industry developed a serious sax addiction. Every pop song needed an inappropriate, blaring, over the top sax solo, if only as an after thought during the fade out.
Here is some hot, steamy sax. The hottest and steamiest… perhaps.

And one cannot forget the quintessential saxman, Tim Capello, the muscle bound oiled up Saxophone god who appeared in cult classic – The Lost Boys.

Update: It was brought to my attention by one Andrew Quinn, that we missed some of the most seductive sax playing of all time…

Video vixen and Bobby Brown Baby Mama, Alicia Etheridge – one of the hottest saxophone players since ever. Pay close attention to her finger work. Charlie Parker, who?

And when too much sax is barely enough. Here is John Coltrane on the Soprano Saxophone with the jazz equivalent of a tantric sax marathon (Enough with the forced puns already).

Tours, Tattoos and Cheese Cake. We talked to Pharoahe Monch and Jean Grae a little while ago. Such agreeable company. Both of them have albums to sell. Pharoahe’s is out now, and Jean’s should not be far off. Be a darling and pick up a copy of W.A.R. (We Are Renegades) and Cake or Death.

Wow I am so late on this one. This really should have been a hit. It took stumbling on to this amazing cosmic video just recently to make me notice and really appreciate this song. Now fifty percent of the views on this video is me listening to it constantly on repeat at work. It was shot by artifact, the same folks who have done Spit Syndicate’s ‘Starry Eyed’ and Astronomy Class’ ‘Where You At?’ Smashing stuff!

Ooooooh dear! I was going to interject there, but I let it go. Don’t admit to being a Star Wars freak in public. Now you totally lost any chance you had of coming off as being cool and semi-normal if you ever do meet Natalie Portman. Listen to your Mum dude.

A little while ago, Shaggy was in the country to celebrate his 42nd birthday. It was a promotion for 42 Below Vodka, where if you e-stalk Shaggy on twitter and mob him in the streets when he checks into locations around Sydney, you could win an invite to his party at Good God.
Now though Shaggy’s performance at the party was a lot of fun, he mostly played other peoples songs, hyped them up, and then got the crowd to sing a few of his tracks. It was a good party, but in the end Shaggy did more actual singing on our radio show than anywhere else in Australia.
You may know the pop star Shaggy, but here you’ll witness an amazing dancehall artist in action.

We are always a little late on the retrospective thing, but we like to hold out just in case something amazing sneaks in at 11:59pm on New Years Eve. I don’t watch heaps of music videos, but here are some that I dug in 2010.
JW & Blaze – Palance
What the fuck is Palancing you ask? Partying and Liming. Ahh… Liming? Oh forget about it, just look out for the girl getting daggered by the blue monster.
M.I.A. – XXXO
Remember those shitty animated gifs your dorky cousin from overseas used to post on your myspace. This is a masterpiece of pooh.
Kool Keith – Dick Towel
Everybody’s favourite sex pest shows he’s still got it in a video which is basically an ad for these sexy towels. I want to see you at Bondi with one.
Kanye West – Runaway Extended Extended Thing
Ye at least gets a scratch sniff sticker for effort.
Van and Jess – Unthinkable (Alicia Keys Cover)
Not an official video clip or anything, but pretty amaze balls. Oh and I love Unthinkable. It makes me want to cry about every past relationship I have ever had all at once.
M.I.A. – Born Free
Banned from Youtube. The visionary clip that recognises the plight of rangas everywhere. Officially endorsed by RANGA (Red and Nearly Ginger Association).
Gorillaz – On Melancholy Hill
When I am not being a Y Grade radio celebrity, I ‘work’ at triple j. And by ‘work’ I mean I google my name all day. One of the perks of the job is I got to see Damon Albarn and Company perform this song on a range of beautiful instruments including Harmonium, Celeste, Musser Marimba and Xylophone. The clip is also pretty alright.
Ciara – Ride ft Ludacris
I DJed for a friends wedding recently. Her wife walked down the aisle to this song. If only she did the dance moves, and more sort of crawled down the aisle. Hawwwwwttt!
What was your favourite video of the year? I know I have missed a whole lot of those shitty little youtube sensation ones that folks like so much.
MP3: Ciara vs Bassgate – Ride (Bassgate Remix)
MP3: Kool Keith – Dick Towel
MP3: Alicia Keys – Unthinkable (Lenzman Drum and Bass Remix)
