From 1948 until 1966, the Palladium Ballroom, at the corner of 53rd and Broadway, was the city’s Mecca for Afro-Caribbean dance music. And for a lot of that time, Tito Puente was one of the main attractions. A new box set compiles the Latin music legend’s RCA recordings of this crucial period.

CocoRosie - Gravediggress

It’s been a few years since we last saw a CocoRosie release; thankfully this drought will end in May, and here is the first single. Typically quirky, I put them in the category of artists that do precisely what the fuck they want, almost everytime.

That being said, this is a perfect pop song.

This is great.

“Mockingbirds are the true artists of the bird kingdom. Which is to say, although they’re born with a song of their own, an innate riff that happens to be one of the most versatile of all ornithological expressions, mocking birds aren’t content to merely play the hand that is dealt them. Like all artists, they are out to rearrange reality. Innovative, willful, daring, not bound by the rules to which others may blindly adhere, the mockingbird collects snatches of birdsong from this tree and that field, appropriates them, places them in new and unexpected contexts, recreates the world from the world. For example, a mockingbird in South Carolina was heard to blend the songs of thirty-two different kinds of birds into a ten-minute performance, a virtuoso display that serve no practical purpose, falling, therefore, into the realm of pure art.”

‘I’m Gonna Pop Some Tags’ is the new Thrift Shop Anthem

Before this video even has the chance to prove it’s ‘fucking awesome’ in rolls a Delorean. Wait, what? But it gets better. Macklemore rocks some serious second hand furs and footie pajamas while spitting out the glories of thrift shopping. Admittedly, the clothes featured in this video do air on the outrageous(ly awesome) side. But, when you look this hipster chic, who cares if your wearing grandpa’s clothes (they ‘look incredible’).

watch this and enjoy your friday.

Cheer up Charlie, you’ll make a good wife.

The sun won’t leave your cheeks and the stain won’t leave your locks.

Life goes on and that’s ok.

You’ll solve the puzzles you always wanted and be more than you’d imagined, and we’ll all be better for it.
