This is probably going to be the dopest graf video you’ve ever laid your eyes on. Apparently a bunch of dudes in Buenos Aires got together and did some time lapse footage of their graf project. The result is a kind of animated graffiti adventure. Seriously amazing. MUTO a wall-painted animation by BLU from blu […]
Pharell’s growing new skin
This may sound absurd, but it’s true. It’s also the sign that you have way too much money. Pharell Williams, N.E.R.D extraordinaire, is paying an enourmous sum of money to get his skin replicated and grown at the the Wake Forest Institute For Regenerative Skin Treatment in North Carolina. Basically, they’ll grow you some skin, […]
More Money Music Making My Melon Move Mightily
Welcome to yet another post about the mostly obscure, often strange, yet always bumpin’ tunes currently rocking our world. First up is a tune I was introduced to by Angie B. Fresh of CFUV’s The Corner. Courtesy of Autolect, a “self-professed Native Tongue baby” from California, “Doork” features a heavily chopped Beatles sample layered over off-kilter, […]
Microsoft actually makes a decent commercial
I know, product placement blows, but I think this one’s okay since I highly date anyone’s going to run out and buy a Zune because of it. Still, I think this is a pretty wicked commercial, and thought I’d give y’all a chance to see it. [Source: Space Invaders]
The “Most wanted” song in the world
Wired.com is reporting that some scientists actually spent some time and money to figure out what the most wanted/unwanted kinds of music are. They wanted specifics. They received tons and tons of feedback and concetntrated that into finding the least and most wanted music in the world. At least scientifically. Below you can hear the […]
The Best Reactions To “Untitled”
As our loyal readers are no doubt aware, Nas recently released his newest album, “Untitled.” Originally named after a racial epithet beginning with the letter N, the Queensbridge emcee retitled the album after intense pressure from his label, who in turn were under the gun from major retailers like Wal-Mart. Anyways, despite the controversy (or perhaps because of it), the record is set […]
MySpace Monday: Elisabeth Troy
Elisabeth Troy has a way poppier style than we’re used to over here at 4080, but I thought we’d go for just a tinge of diversity in the MySpace Monday posts. Beyond the fact that she’s other London-based soulstress, I can’t find too much other information about this young lady. If any of y’all know, […]
Freecorder
For all of you cats out there trying to record your favourite snippet of audio, perhaps a quick bite of internet radio, or even just to grab the audio off a youtube video, there actually is a way. This would normally sound like a product endorsement, but in this case the product is free. A […]
Old subway cars used as artificial reefs
I must be sappy and/or have some weird obsession with subways, but this article really caught my eye. Basically, they’re taking a bunch of old subway cars, fixing them up a bit (by removing the nasty chemicals, the windows/wheels/doors etc) and then dropping them into the ocean to create an artificial reef. To some that […]
Country covers of hip hop
This will just weird you out a little bit, but it’s a pretty entertaining scene. The Boss Hoss is a German country western cover band. I know that sentence is confusing, but it’s true. Hailing from Berlin, they started doing country versions of popular songs, and are all over the place. They’ve covered pop songs, […]
