Cadbury Remix.

Since I did the last Cadbury post I have discovered some rather cracking new versions of the gorilla ad, and a video of Bollo from The Mighty Boosh auditioning to be in the advert. Enjoy.

Wiley - back to the old skool. (yep, that's a K. I'm THAT cool!)

I gotta say, Wiley's new track 'Summertime' at first really annoyed me, but now I really really like it. Can't help but boogie along (yet more evidence of my coolness. Cough, cough).
I especially like the video. It's full of great old school clothing and styles. I especially like the colour choices and patterns in it. Single's out October 18th. Now check the video and Vibe.

Esser.

Seeing as I'm on the subjects of new music Artists I like. Might as well give you another one. This one is 'Esser'. I can't get his single 'Headlock' out of my head, I find myself singing it all the time. Maybe you will too, listen below.

I've just seen his new video for his new single 'I love you', and.............it's a bit weird. He sits in a chair having food thrown at him, whilst singing along, until he throws up. Nice. Good song though.

'Headlock'



'I Love You'

Lykke Li.

Another new artist I'm liking a lot at the moment is 'Lykke Li'. Here are two of her singles: 'Little Bit' and 'Breaking it up'.

With the 'Little bit' video I really like the ghostly people dancing around whilst it fades in and out and sped up and down. Also the lighting works really well to reflect the mood of the song.



With the 'Breaking it up' video I really like the setting and the numerous random objects placed around it. And again the lighting is used to great effect. It's very 'Arty' as it were.

Fleet Foxes - White Winter Hymnal.

I've only recently discovered Fleet Foxes music, but already I'm a big fan, and this song 'White Winter Hymnal' is my favourite. It's only a short song but amazing none the less. I find the chanting really poetic and calming, and the video really melds well with it. The style of the video is very similar to that of 'Bedshaped' by Keane, another good video (don't like the song though).
Check them out below.

Kanye West.

Just saw this little gem of an image promoting Kanye West's tour with special guest Mr. Hudson and the Library. I just really like it. True.

Helvetica T's.

American Apparel; very popular shop of the moment with stores in Brighton, Bristol, Liverpool, London, Manchester, Nottingham, and Glasgow (where's the Leeds one!? Grrrrrrrrr!).
They have a great collection of clothes in different styles and loads of great colours, and a recent item of clothing they've released is The Helvetica Alphabet T-shirt. There's only a few letters available online at the moment but they're getting people to vote for the next letters to be produced. So get Voting for you favourite letter! I wonder what other typefaces would look good on T-shirts. Any ideas?
