[News] The Nike Air Yeezy 2 Sneakers to be Sold via Raffle in Toronto!

As seen in Metro paper this morning! Also via The Star:

Yo, it won’t be easy to get the Yeezy.

If you have your heart set on getting Kanye West’s new signature shoe, the highly anticipated Nike Air Yeezy 2, your only chance to buy it at a reasonable price is to enter a raffle.

Only three stores in Toronto will be getting the $300 men’s shoe and all are offering it only through raffle, not on site. Livestock on Spadina Ave., Capsule shoes on Yorkville Ave. and Nike Toronto on Bloor St. W. have been deluged for weeks with calls about the shoes.

My 2012 Polaris Music Prize Ballot

#1 = The Slakadeliqs - The Other Side of Tomorrow
#2 = Saukrates - Season One
#3 = Azari & III - Azari & III
#4 = Cold Specks - I Predict A Graceful Expulsion
#5 = Melanie Fiona - The MF Life

I’m predicting, at best, that only two of my picks (Cold Specks and maybe Azari & III) will make the long list. I was conflicted like a muh’ about whether to vote for Drake’s Take Care album. I’d be gutted if he didn’t make the long list because it would just look bad for the Polaris IMHO but truthfully, there were just other albums (see above) that I happened to love more and felt could benefit from the shine more. If Drake loses, I doubt he’ll even notice over the drone of his private G4 at 32,000 feet!

[Audio Stream] Listen to Curren$y's - The Stoned Immaculate Album in FULL

Didn’t even know this was out ‘til I saw it in the Rdio new releases section. It’s actually really, really good. The album title fits perfectly for this vibey, woozy but still soulful head music. Think if Pharcyde smoked up with Cypress Hill and you’re getting close. Check it out on Rdio if this soundcloud promo preview player gets take down.

The return of 'real' hip-hop? Joey Bada$$ (@joeyBADASS_) - Hard Knock (video)

With all the swag and hipster rap out now, hip-hop has clearly gone in another direction since its beloved (by old fogies like me) old school and ‘Golden Era’ periods. For all my fellow curmudgeon the friends who bemoan the lack of classic sounding rap nowadays, I’ve often said: “You know there’s probably a 16 year old kid in a basement somewhere who’s listening to his dad or older brother’s Illmatic album [or insert your classic of choice] and he’s going to reinterpret that sound and make it relevant all over again…” Well for all of you who miss the sound of dusty, SP1200-S950 sample-powered hip-hop, with the arrival of Joey Bada$$, that day might have finally arrived. Harbinger of the return of ‘real’ hip-hop? We’ll see….

[New Music] Introducing Hello Phones - Get It Together

This came to me via my submission inbox which, truth be told, I don’t check as often as I used to or should so it’s purely by luck that I even stumbled on this. As the official PR blur (below) says, musically NY co-ed duo, Hello Phones are a little all over the map, which from my point of view, is usually the kiss of death. The singer is also not technically a ‘great’ singer but her voice works for these songs which range in sound from everything from new wavey, synth pop to crunchy guitar and dreamy 60’s, pop-soul. But, as I opined on twitter the other day, that’s proof that great music is not just about ‘technical proficiency’ whatever that even means. Anyway, check out the entire album via the bandcamp stream above, there’s a bonus download of one track from the album, “NYID” below and here’s that PR blurb:

Hello Phones is a new band from New York City. Living and creating in New York lends itself to certain inescapable influences, musical and otherwise. Hello Phones music crosses genres and scenes, and hopes to help blur those lines as much as possible, as this has become their approach to music.

[Video] Windall Documentary (Trailer)

When I went to see the Marley doc on Wednesday, they showed this trailer during the previews. Ironically, just a few days before that I had been deriding people who complained about wind turbines because they “spoiled their view” but this trailer made me re-think that comment and how wind power is implemented in general.

[Music Video] The Flaming Lips and Erykah Badu - The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face (NSFW)

Oh my lawd, this video might just completely overshadow this very odd but very cool cover of the Roberta Flack standard, “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face” by oddball, Oklahoma City-based (go Thunder!) alternative rock group, The Flaming Lips and the equally oddball soul singer, Erykah Badu. I know the nude shots are actually of Badu’s sister, Nayrock but, after her last controversial video, “Window Seat”, this is just further evidence and reinforcement to me of why Common, 3-Stacks and Jay Elec got so sprung on Erykah and wifed her up.

While we’re on the subject though…

For my T.dot (Toronto/GTA) heads, you can see The Flaming Lips perform for FREE on June 16 down at Yonge-Dundas Sq. during NXNE as presented by AOL-Spinner. BTW: wanna win tickets for NXNE courtesy AOL-Spinner? CLICK HERE.

Not enough for you? Hit the jump for another Lips-Badu collab, “Now I Understand” also featuring Siri and allegedly, Biz Markie (where??!).
