Hailing from the UK, Little Boots is leading the way as one of the best-known electropop musicians. Named to the 2009 “Artist To Watch” list by Rolling Stone and Esquire’s “Brilliant Brits 2009”, Little Boots is well on her way to closing out the year in a strong way. Making noise in the fashion world as well, Little Boots has gained notoriety for a look that has been described by some as “cosmic vintage” and has said that everything she wears onstage or off is reflection of her sound.
The news from Neff just keeps getting stranger and stranger. Now, Neff Headwear has teamed up with the MTV Video Music Awards and Greenhouse to make a special limited run of hats for all the celebrity presenters at this year’s VMAs.
The hat features a re-designed Moon Man and a bright green under brim with the slogan “Green is the New Black” to salute the eco-friendly New York City nightclub Green House. The hats will be given to each celebrity presenter at this years award show for them to rock and keep.
Yes, these look really good, and we’re sure all the collectors are going to want to get their hands on these.
Trevor Andrew makes a great rock star. Then again he always did. But now, he’s doing it for real with his music. With a new album coming out some time in the next four to six months, he sad down with JamBase.com to talk about the band, the music and how Santigold got him going on the right track:
She’s a great supporter and a great business woman. She just schooled me to the game and once I had all these songs written – it was really a private thing; I did it by myself – she was the one who took it to the next level and was like, “I’m getting these to producers.” She did that and really motivated that and just encouraged me. [She said], “Just because you’ve lived your dream with snowboarding doesn’t mean you can’t have a new dream.”
Sacramento skate OG and N-Men instigator Randy Katen apparently has a Sunday night radio show streaming online from The University of Montanain Missoula, according to a post on SkateDaily.net. Katen’s show is called Generation X and here’s what he says about it.
I was born and razed in Sacramento California. My love of music started out when I was 10 or so with Janis, Jimmy and all the 70 greats. However, I never played along with the masses and thought that popular was good in any aspect. I was the upstart, the rebel, the Skateboarder, the Snowboarder so when this ( X ) generation of bored teenagers took flight I was part of the flock. Being a professional skateboarder and skating in San Francisco and the Bay area almost all the time from 79-84 put in me the western hub of the new wave, punk, alternative music seen, and I was lucky enough to see a lot of bands on their (sometimes) one and only U.S. tour. I will fill you in on some History of Bands and you will here some Interviews with some of the greats of the music. Listen to my show and hear music that is fast and energizing! Be careful. If you play it in your car you will get a speeding ticket!
Generation X with Randy Katen airs/streams from 5-7 PT, 6-8 MT, and 8-10 ET. Click here to listen.
Apparently, while not polishing his Olympic Bronze medal from Salt Lake City, snowboarder JJ Thomas has been crafting some electro pop music under the name of MileHi with friend Jeff Cormack.
Their new album Hits and Misses is available for download right here. Check it and you’ll get hot on the dance floor lyrics like this from For The Girls.
You, me, him and her, everybody lets roll. Don’t stop back it up come on lets go go. You girls look good tonight. This place is poppin, poppin. Since you walked in that door my jaw’s been dropping, dropping. Skinny jeans, my gawd girl you look so mean. Girl see the way you’ve been looking at me so right. I can’t wait to be alone and see what’s under those clothes tonight. Red lips, hair’s a mess. I like how you wear that dress. So stop take a drink and let’s get loose. Hey, girl it’s you and me grab your friend let’s make it three.
JJ getting freaky. Looks like he’s going more than his snowboard skills to work on this project. And it sounds, well, not that bad, actually.
Bam Margera’s new video for the Finnish band The 69 Eyes and titled Dead Girls Are Easy will officially premiere on Playboy.com at 8 AM PST on Friday, July 17, 2009, according to a post on Blabbermouth.net.
Aimed at those sleazy online chicks with the looks that kill, “Dead Girls Are Easy” is a tongue-in-cheek power anthem that just begged for a video to complement it. The clip follows a coven of tight black leather-clad vampire vixens luring and converting the men with whom they come into contact. “It’s almost like vampires are taking over the world,” muses singer Jyrki 69.
Sounds like something that will go perfectly with our Friday morning bowl of Cheerios.

Phew! Looks like that fight a.k.a. “beef” between Terry Kennedy and Bow Wow regarding Rev. Run’s daughter Angela Simmons is over, according to an interview on Broccoli City TV reported on Ballerstatus. And we are so thankful for that. Here’s what TK had to say about Bow Wow:
“I never known the n****. He was trying to go around and get information from other n****s to see what type of n**** I was,” T.K. explained. “I guess everytime he’d bump into somebody and ask them about me, they’d give him the history on me. After that, he ended up trying to call me saying ‘I ain’t got nothing against you, it’s all love.’ I hate to tackle the situation, but he’s a coward.”
Nixon has signed musician Little Boots to their time telling team. Anyone who collaborates with Gary Numan is a friend of ours.
