Dizzee Rascal (featuring Armand Van Helden) – Bonkers

As the sun tantalizes us with its golden rays, competition heats up for the summer anthem of 2009 – a battle which has so far left Calvin Harris all alone for the longest time… but there is a fresh one in the arena.

Dizzee Rascal’s newest single Bonkers has got the grime police in a tizzy, which is all just trivial fuss, really. I know exactly what genre to file this song under, and that is holy hell this track would be fun live.

Can’t see it topping Harris’ I’m Not Alone for the summer battle, but things are looking interesting for the excellent Rascal who among other obvious accolades, brought us the funniest cover of 2008 (below). Excited for whatever he has up his sleeve next.

Dizzee Rascal – That’s Not My Name (Ting Ting’s Cover)

Although still mostly hidden from the public eye, Vancouver has a very healthy dubstep scene and the latest Electronic Explorations release is evidence of the talent nestled in this city. One hundred and twenty minutes of dubstep from the likes of Taal Mala, Max Ulis, Self Evident, and more. Mp3 stream, download, and tracklisting here.

If you want to hit up some dubstep nights in Vancouver, check out Lighta! for a good start. These guys are responsible for some of the best nights in Vancouver, much love to them!!!!

PS: BIKE NERD TRIVIA – Listen to the commentary right before the Afrika Bambaatta track for a reference to the legendary Alex Rankin bike video series Sprung.

After watching a video of Joker on BBC1’s MAH show last night, I’ve discovered that biking and dubstep seem to have more in common than I originally imagined. More on that in the next next next post.

Scene: 2 nurses talking about their patients.

Hot Nurse 1: and then he came out of his coma

Hot Nurse 2: Muffin, that’s incredible, then what did he say?

1: He said that he had to go and that he’d call me some time. Men, just because they’re conscious, doesn’t mean that they’re conscientious.

2: Well, at least you brought him back to life. You can feel good about that. My patient wants the opposite.

1: What do you mean?

2: Muffin how do you feel about euthanasia?

1: Well, I’ve never been to Asia, but I think that the youth in America is probably the same. Why? Is your patient Asian?

My friend Priya from Singapore blogged about the dialogue in this porn video and it’s too good not to repost. Whoever wrote this is on some next-level writing genius. The quote above is ridiculous, but you have to watch the video for the banger at 2:10. I don’t want to give it away, but I promised you it is Oscar worthy. Watch it here. NSFW (but you know you wanna show this to all your co-workers).

This video has everything. Bruce Lee fighting a whole school / Great subtitles / French dubbing (eh?) / By far the most refreshing hip hop remix last year courtesy of the fantastic Flying Lotus.

Cameron from Hidden Clothing hit me with an email containing an amazing collection of old school BMX Polaroids. The photos came from a guy he works with, and they are apparently him and his friends when they were younger.

Harrison Boyce said in his Twitter that this is “the best post ever on Defgrip.” I thought he was kidding… but he wasn’t. Defgrip has had a lot of really great posts over the years, but this ranks up there as one of the top 3 for sure. Flat out amazing. Click here right now.

The ups and downs of this movie’s potential release has kept everyone on the edge of their seats for years, but today the trailer was released and IT. LOOKS. STUNNING. CANNOT WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also, FLATRATE: I raise my glasses to you.  Whoever thought up of the following ad deserves a massive pay rise. (thanks to stu for the link)

Emma Watson has made appearances on boner party multiple times now – totally deserved. She-

• Is drop dead gorgeous.
• Has that cheeky grin, like she could be straight edge and behaving all day, then just throw out the most absurd, daring suggestion that could potentially end your life but if you don’t do it… ETERNAL REGRET
• Would totally be down to get intimate on a bridge suspended over a gaping hole in the middle of a lake, and get there on bike too (see 2 posts down).
• Is dating some older, balding guy – proof that on rare, very rare occasions, the nice guy gets the girl. Fuck that guy, I’ll fight him.
• Is into Euan Uglow and Gustav Klimt.
• HAVE YOU SEEN THIS SERIES OF HER IN ITALIAN VOGUE?!!?
• Would hold down on the independant front – you know this girl works hard for the money (and makes a shitload more than you too, but she’s not giving you any, so your game better be top notch).
• Can cast spells.

Emma Watson, marry me.

Woman in HK freaking out when the restaurant she was eating at ran out of Sharks Fin soup. Brilliant viral marketing, and also just really funny.

“Guuummmm do yu gum do yu” hahahahahhaha

NOTE: I am far from being a vegetarian and don’t intend to be all political on this, but sharks fin soup is the only food I refuse to eat. Have been boycotting the dish since I was ten years old – not an easy feat when you have to attend Chinese wedddings and it’s considered an insult not to eat such a ‘delicacy.’ Sharks are fucking cool, don’t eat them.
