Telephoned… basically your average Brooklyn art prank band, right? Surfacing a few years back with that ‘Pop Champagne’ version, Sammy Bananas (YES) and Maggie Horn have made party-friendly, and some might say ever so slightly silly, cover versions their way of life for the past few years. Their Off The Hook mixtape, featuring a bunch [...]

New Kid Sister video – 'Big n Bad'
Posted: 29th July 2010 by MV in Releases, VideosTags: kid sister
This is, in all fairness, not the greatest track on Kid Sister’s generally awesome Ultraviolet album. A shiny, colourful, typically cheery video somehow makes it irresistible still, though. Why? She’s so damn charming, mainly. Also, rollerskates, big smiles and cameos from the likes of A-Trak. It almost makes you forget that she’s basically rapping over [...]
We’ve been rather spoilt with amazing videos recently. So much so that if a vid isn’t a nine minute epic, or it doesn’t feature boyband death by lasers, it’s almost seen as a bit of a waste of time. This wonderful, cheery, summery video disproves that theory. It also looks like a much better ‘intro’ [...]
Kid Sister – Daydreaming (Jakwob Remix)

A quick bonus post because I’m bored of waiting for Kid Sister to… well, do anything in the UK. The album (which is excellent) is due at some point soon, apparently.

A strong contender for my single of the year, Melisa Young’s brilliant electro-pop fist-in-the-air banger should rightfully be her big UK crossover track. If the record label ever gets around to releasing it… It’s taken long enough to get the video together. Worth it? Maybe. Some nice painty-video trickery going on but, in the same [...]

Single of the Week: Kid Sister ft. Kanye West – Pro Nails Ah, finally this gets a proper release! About time, too. This excellent electro/hip-hop crossover track has been flloating around since the back end of 2007. It’s spent so long waiting to be released that ace Chicago MC Kid Sister actually ended up making [...]
