Plenty of tasty musical treats for your Tuesday morning, starting off with the brand spanking new Beastie Boys video for “Don’t Play No Game That I Can’t Win” (with Santigold). Directed by Spike Jonze and featuring a very Reggieknow-like cadre of zombie-killing action figures, the full-length video debuted this morning. The Tuesday Video 5-Pack continues […]

All-black premium perforated full grain leather with plenty of gold

It’s been a minute since Santigold blessed her fanbase with some new music, so to keep her eager leagues sated she drops her new shoe — a collaboration with Vans. Based on the new Tosha Hi silhouette, Santi blends a clean black shoe with more than a little sparkle. The limited edition Vans x Santigold […]

Santigold, Premier, ?uestlove, Chromeo, DJ Mehdi and more slum it out for A-Trak and Armand

In a video straight up designed to melt the interwebs comes Duck Sauce’s “Barbra Streisand”. You knew when you first heard about Duck Sauce that the duo involved — namely A-Trak and Armand Van Helden — would come with some dancefloor heat, and this second single (out on A-Trak’s own Fool’s Gold label) doesn’t disappoint. […]

LIAS sits down with Sam Spiegel to figure out exactly who they've got naked pictures of...

We’ve covered N.A.S.A. (North America South America) here many times in the past, partly because they’ve managed to corral an almost unholy stable of collaborators to work with (“People Tree” featuring David Byrne, Chali 2Na, Z-Trip and Gift of Gab, “Whachadoin?” with M.I.A., Santogold and Spank Rock, “Spacious Thoughts” with Tom Waits and Kool Keith, […]


Props to N.A.S.A. who continue their Boing Boing-sponsored run of excellent animated videos (e.g. that Syd Garon directed “People Tree” video featuring David Byrne, Chali 2Na, Z-Trip and Gift of Gab, “Whachadoin?” with M.I.A., Santogold and Spank Rock, “Spacious Thoughts” with Tom Waits & Kool Keith, etc). This time it’s a vid for “Strange Enough”, […]

Fluorescent Hill gets to animate two of the coolest human beings on the planet

I just don’t know how N.A.S.A. does it. I mean I know Squeak E. Clean (aka Sam Spiegel) is Spike Jonze’ brother and all that, and the dude is obviously well connected, but the callobos he manages to link together and the artists he has work on his projects are otherworldly (like that Syd Garon […]

The Major is a Busy Guy

Like we said, Major Lazer has been on a tear lately — hanging with Angelina and Jack, and posting naked pics of Rihanna (kind of a dick move, btw, Lazer). Well I guess he’s finally getting to work battling all those zombies and vampires he claims to hate. Someone videotaped his exploits and put them […]


I’ve already noted I’m pretty excited about this project, and Major Lazer’s first leak, “Hold the Line”, shows the hype may be substantiated. Santigold and Lexx lay the vocals, Diplo & Switch (and Dick Dale, of course) provide the surf guitar beats: If you got the hankering, go to their site to download instrumental and […]
