It is funny how some songs will always have an association with certain people in your life. You hear it on the radio or find it on a blog somewhere, and the memories come rushing back.
I bought this red leather jacket recently. Totally unwearable. Thought it was the best thing ever, but I haven’t worn it once. I’ll just look like the Indian Michael Jackson. Not something that I think the girls of Sydney are ready for.
This week is both Halloween and FBi Radio’s ‘Instant Karma Supporter Drive’, where you sign up as a member of the station and we help you along in your search for Nirvana. At Stolen Records we are a sucker for a theme, so we thought we would combine it into a Hindi Halloween Party on your radio.
Here is a taste of what to expect…

So the new full-length Kanye West video has been released.
If you have 35-minutes to kill have a look. I ain’t gonna lie, I only watched it so that when everyone else started talking about it, I’d know what they’re talking about. I’ll also admit, that sometimes the lines between crap and art get a bit blurry for me.
Whenever I hear of these long play video clips, I wonder what the hell the artist is thinking. I don’t give a shit about a 13-minute music video (let alone 30) and the only time you’ll probably be able to see it is either on the Internet or on Rage at 3am. I just wanna hear the song, maybe see some ass, a nice car, a cool stunt and something in slow motion. Under no circumstances should a music video become a short-film starring the artist and their friends. Case in point: Puffy, Ma$e and J-Lo did NOT need to make a ten minute recreation of True Lies with the track Been Around the World. No one needed to see that. No one.
However, when done right, a mini-movie music video clips can be quite neat (Thriller, Remember the Time, California Love, etc). I just don’t know where to put this Runaway video. I mean, I actually quite like some of the visual aspects; colours, set design, shots and the appropriate use of slow motion. But the dialogue is horrendous at best (he calls the phoenix “baby”), the acting was average and some parts just plain ol’ annoyed me (he took her to a party where they were serving bird!).
The ballet scene was stunning while the scene where they copulate or dry hump is forgettable. The way he soundtracked the clip was also on point with the ballet scene and the end credits (ha!) being the ones that stuck out most – although the auto-tune made me cringe.
Overall, it was aiight. And I bet if he cut the video in HALF it’ll still be aiight.
Larry David is one bad-ass mofo (yep, that’s Vivica Fox hollering in the back) and makes a living telling funny jokes. But what’s not funny is the subject in question: product packaging.
Do you know what’s so appalling? Vacuum packaging or packaging altogether for that matter. Fuck this waste-conscious period where everything is sealed with minimal yet airtight packaging (and fuck the factory robots that are programmed to do so). I’m tired of being thwarted by packaged items that lack a tab, slit or pull-back flap to make opening as seamless as possible. I recently bought a pair of headphones and after an unnecessary period of time I finally broke into the packaging where my finger was promptly sliced open by a sharp edge of plastic. That shit is fucking ridiculous.
MP3: Kanye West – So Appalled ft. RZA, Jay-Z, Pusha T, Swizz Beatz & Cyhi the Prynce
What do you think is so appalling?

P Money makes me wanna dress in black, put on a balaclava, and shank somebody in an alley down in Souf Lundon. He recently teamed up with Marco Del Horno and DJ Swerve and dropped this dirty “Ho! Riddim”.
This track makes me wanna bounce my ho to this riddim or make my riddim to bounce this… Ho!

The super annoying thing about this interview is that the mic wasn’t recording properly, so the audio quality ain’t great. But here it is, a snippet of our interview with K-Os talking about the success of fellow Canadian Drake.

This is another one that you may not know was a cover, Shaggy’s version of The Folkes Brother’s ‘Oh Carolina’. The original was released in 1960 and was a landmark single in the development of reggae and ska music. It was reworked by Shaggy in 1993 and became an international mega hit.
We thought we would put it up here, because we have the fantastic, romantic, boombastic lover Shaggy in the studio this Wednesday so we can celebrate his birthday with fairy bread and chocolate crackles, and ask him questions like ‘Why does he sound drunk on each one of his tracks?’
