Barack Obama, Malik Yusef, Kanye West & Adam Levine (Maroon 5) Get Together to Make Sweet Hip Hop Musique - Promised Land

Image by Lenkaa

Here at tradehooks, we don't really post much about politics coz...well we just don't
But Selecta, he believes that politics and his beloved hip hop should be kept seperate, that's why he don't like the Herd, and NaS's new album.

Anyway, Obamy released a campaign album, called 'yes we can' (he is a Treacherous Three fan? dunno), and he asked his BFFs Kanye West, Malik Yusef and Adam Levine (a white guy) to get together and drop some shit. So they made 'the promised land', a decent track, mainly coz of the timbalandesque drums about halfway through. listen to it.

Nb. you might know Malik from the outro on Yeezy's "Crack Music" or from Common's "My City", two BANGING trax

Daft Punk in Australia 2k8 @ Nevereverland?

The first time i went to Nevereverland i met a guy called Peter Pan
The second time i met Robin Williams dressed up like Peter Pan
The third time i met 2 robots called Daft Punk, which with their interplanetary powers sent Modular bankrupt (again)
The fourth time i went to Nevereverland hasn't happened yet, but i think Daft Punk or someone as good like Justice or Mr Oizo will probably play at it. You can't make a shitter party, things have always got to be better. But can Daft Punk Actually be topped, or will they return, without helmets or a spaceship?

See for yourself

Day in Fields 09




Wow. Is it that time of year already. This morning the lineup for Field Day 09 dropped, and it is sexual. The ones in bold are the ones that i would pay to see. And as im sure you realise, it is most of them. Tradehooks favourite son Busy P is coming out again, with mehdi, who apparently dropped a sick set at ARQ last year, with the Bang Gang boys. Trizzy (A-Trak) is a turntable dominator and not to be missed. Digitalism played a sweet live set at the Oxford Art Factory last year, and im not going to lie, the awesome house sounds of Roger Sanchez would hit the spot on a warm sydney night.

Roger Sanchez
Santogold (Live)
Digitalism (Live)

Jamie Lidell (Live)
Boys Noize
Trentemøller
Switch
A-Trak

Late Of The Pier (Live)

Rolling Stones - She's a Rainbow

I was gonna post a live set of the Rolling Stones when they toured Australia in 1973, but I only got video footage at the moment, and there are interviews and shit in it, so stay tuned

But for now my favourite Rolling Stones Song. One of my very close friends walked down the aisle at her wedding to this. It was perfectly fitting

I'm gonna buy something Lacoste


I saw this in one of my heaps exclusive fashion magazines that i get hourly everyday, it's part of Lacoste's Spring/Summer 2008 ad campaign.

Makes me want to buy some Lacoste, not the gay mod golfer stuff, like something good. Maybe i won't suit the brand until i join a country/tennis/golf club.

Check out WESC

Lykke Li, gets Blogging and a sweet Familjen Remix


Lykke Li is on tour somewhere, and for some reason I am writing in italics. It seems fitting for her perfectly formed poetic words, which is really the main reason for posting this blog actually. i wish she would write for tradehooks, rather than the racist drawl we usually post. Read on blipstaz

Trippiditrapp. In between places, in between spaces right now and I’m still nowhere to be found. Something I've learned from all this insane travelling, hotel skipping, late nights and God knows what, is the importance of looking glamorous while loosing your mind. (As well as beeing well educated off course, KIDS READ MORE BOOKS! ) Not that it matters that much beeing glam but one should always have a mission in life, at least for the day. I’m actually not really losing my mind, in fact life could not be better, it's just a lot of this and that, and you who know me all know I’m a bit confused and need some structure in my life to not get lost in the daydreaming. That's why I’m laying here in my hotel room in Oslo in a silk Kimono I bought at the Re (???) in Hamburg. Don't know if you know that place but it's really crazy, it's the ultimate place to hang if you're a stripper or looking to buy a ladyfriend for the night (rather cheap actually). Unfortunately I did not buy any love but I bought a silk kimono, it was at this really shady vintage place and it costed 15 Euro but I twinkled my eye and spoke the only German I knew and got it down to 10 Euro.

Fantastic, finally one step in the right direction, we're slowly getting there... I’m also looking to find a silver bottle to keep my whisky in, a cat to keep me company and the perfect shades to cover my weary eyes. I’m also looking forward to writing more songs but I need some peace around me. A little writer's pad where I can cook spaghetti, a big wardrobe where I can keep my kimonos and a window to outlook the city. Yes, I’m inspired by Breakfast at Tiffanys (the book!).

Only problem now is to choose city. God, so many problems at the same time not. It's just too many choices, for example do you know how many times I started writing this text before erasing it and starting over? I could not choose subject or direction, I even started it as a poem about a love affair and a 7 Eleven sign, before starting over for the fifth time.

Thats why today I decided I will be who I am today, far from genius but close at heart and god damn glamorous, and as all the great leaders I will finish this off with a quote.

Lykke Li.



Her album is really great, my favourite track is Breaking it up, which recently got the swedish pop workover by the soon to be touring Australia Familjen
Have a listen

Lykke Li - Breaking it up (Familjen remiX)

or as they would say it sweden
