Jus†ice - "Civilization" (adidas)



By now, many of you might have seen footage of this new adidas ad campaign, titled "adidas is all in" and/or "all adidas." Presented as either a 2:00 full-length clip [above] or chopped up into shorter 0:30-1:00 bits... And then featured on your favourite blog's sidebar or living room TV screen.
A new Jus†ice track - "Civilization" - soundtracks the spot(s), directed by Romain Gavras. Previously helming videos for Jus†ice's "Stress" and M.I.A.'s controversial "Born Free," Gavras secured appearances from a variety of sports/Pop stars including: Katy Perry, David Beckham, Lionel Messi, Snoop Dogg, Derrick Rose, B.o.B., and members of the Ed Banger Records Crew.
The primary "adidas is all in" clip features quick, vibrantly-colored flashes of action shots, live performances, stock footage, sporting events, happiness, etc. An HD, full-screen version can be viewed here, while most of the segmented individual clips can be seen in the YouTube sidebar.
Now, let's not forget about the new Jus†ice track - The first concrete sign of LP #2. "Civilization" is the French Electronic duo's first offering since 2008. Having released their debut album, † ("Cross") back in 2007, which was then followed up by sparse releases - a live album, an EP/fashion show soundtrack, and various high-caliber remixes. Ed Banger/Because will release the new track as a [digital/vinyl?] single on April 4th... with a [long-rumored] new LP to follow @ a TBA 2011 date.

[W]reckless, Topless American Youth: Lana del Rey - "Born 2 Die" (Britney Spears Birthday 30)

Lana del Rey [Lizzy Grant] effectively became 2011's "It Girl" with the release of her phenomenal debut single, "Video Games" (Stranger) . Like many struggling singer-songwriters, Grant has been signed, dropped, and significantly changed her public image since bursting onto the scene (2009). With that said, it can be assumed that Lana del Rey has collected just as many "haters" as she has avid supporters. To be perfectly honest, the only other artist I can think of that made this much commotion... garnered so much wide-spread buzz/hate and critical acclaim -- right out of the gates -- with just one track is Britney Spears . And maybe in this post- Mike musical era, that's the true synthesis of Pop Culture: Britney Lynn Spears . After months of repeated teasing and speculation, Lana del Rey 's major label debut, Born 2 Die will [finally] be released this coming Jan. 30-31, 2012. Pitchfork reports that it will feature "Off to The Ra

Whistler by Cellar Door Moon Crow British Rock 2-piece band Cellar Door Moon Crow mysteriously found and Followed The Witzard (@SharpCheddar856) on Twitter a few months ago. Their Facebook About section simply lists a brief, yet fitting, mission statement: "Band ~ Beards ~ Brothers Goodwin brothers Phil & Tommy . Sheffield, UK " and their accompanying Biography section contains a similar refrain: "Band ^ Beards ^ Brothers," as well as their Bandcamp page. There really isn't much else to be known about twin brothers Phil & Tom Goodwin , aside from the fact that they make infectious, down and dirty Rock "N" Roll —all entirely written, recorded, produced, and mixed in-house by Cellar Door Moon Crow (CDMC) themselves. CDMC 's Bandcamp page often tags their musical output as " British Rock , Rock, Blues Rock , two-piece band, Sheffield " and I would best liken their sound to a stylistic mix between The Black Keys , Thir
