Folk Clothing & Footwear

I find myself wearing trainers less and less these days, usually opting for a smarter alternative. The guys at folk have been toutedas the 3rd best clothing retailer in the world y +1 Magazine. Also been featured in The Independent, Guardian, GQ and every other great publisher. They are basically amazing. Have a look at some visual goodness of their footwear in action.







Thanks.

Thanks & feel free to leave a nice comment on RWDmag.com's page.


Kanye West - Amazing

We made a music video for this brilliant Kanye track a couple of months ago, it was the first piece of video content we properly released as TropicalTV.co.uk; and really set the standard. Here's what our Moc version looked like.



And now Hype Williams has teamed up with Kanye West & Young Jeezy to create this...



AMAZING right?

Thanks.

Young Nate - I Wonder

I don't really like Rn'B, think its a bit boring. But this is quite a nice song! If you know me, or know the blog, you will know we don't put things up just because they are 'nice songs'...the main reason I am posting this is because my boy Jack Frsh directed it, and it is bloody brilliant.



Enjoy. Thanks.

The Cable Guy is Underrated Guys



I'm only bringing this up because I was reading reviews for Seth Rogen's new film Observe and Report, which is apparently a dark comedy. Observe and Report has a fairly lackluster IMDb rating, but is generally getting good reviews. Although I haven't seen the film, hearing about it reminds me of The Cable Guy, which is actually an Apatow flick also. It was critically destroyed and is the butt of many jokes, however, if it was out now I think the reviews would be favourable, to be honest. At the time I think critics were bored of Jim Carrey and Carrey fans expected something like Ace Ventura. Basically this is just a rant to say that The Cable Guy is a good film, one of Jim Carrey's best, along with The Trueman Show and Eternal Sunshine..., watch it and judge again. Tell me what you think of it.

No more Buzzcocks for Amstell

Simon Amstell has quit Never Mind the Buzzcocks ladies and gentleman. He wants to concentrate on his stand-up, but personally I reckon it's politics - he will be the Lib Dem candidate for London Mayor next election. Next series will just have guest hosts again i believe, in the mean tine enjoy this picture of his face:

Adventureland

I just came across this film and apparently it's on the same level as Superbad, same director but I think it's more of a comedy/drama. It's out in the summer, here's the trailer:

The 100th episode dawns...



It looks like a great episode. Once again the losties will be tested, factions will be made, and we will all know where Kate's loyalties lie... But lets be honest, we don't really care about that bitch (we do) but what we really wanna know is -

What lies in the shadow of the statue?

Dexter 3rd Series on FX


I don't know about you, but I effing love Dexter. Series 3 starts on FX Channel this Friday. It's aired in the US already of course, but that doesn't matter, we don't mind. Just watch. It's so good I'd recommend buying the first two serieses from the Zavvi or something.


I'm a Bombay Bad Boy



Not sure if I like it. I ate it all and at the end thought - "This isn't that nice". The story of me purchasing this 'Bombay Bad Boy' flavoured Pot Noodle all started Months ago, maybe September/October of O eight. I bought the classic Chicken & Mushroom pot noodle, and while the kettle was boiling, the small bottle of Nando's Peri Peri Sauce in my fridge caught my eye. Months later and I'm emptying half a bottle into each Chicken & Mushroom pot noodle I consume. Well recently I have been without the Peri, I tried to recreate the high by sprinkling some Cayenne Pepper into my 'noodle - not the same. So today I went into the shop, Bombay Bad Boy it is - not the same.

Why don't I just buy some more Peri Peri?

TropicalTV Presents... Drug Alternatives

Anyone want some brand new Tropical action? (yeah!) Well here is some of that effing stuff right here. We have two other videos in the pipeline that you should watch out for. This is the funniest so far, in my opinion, quite a few notches up from 'The Race'.


Spotify aka Throw Away Your Limewire


Spotify is the future, you can listen to vast amounts of music regardless of genre, SADLY you can't download the tracks but it works great if you want to listen to some new/old stuff on your PC

Before you could only download Spotify if you got an invitation or if you knew someone that knows someone.. that knows someone..

but now invitations are no longer required.. so Download
and Enjoy

Florence & The Machine


I love this video so much I just had to post it. I remember first hearing it at the end of summer last year, and now it just reminds me of summer. I'm also posting this now because Florence & The Machine are going to blow up in a big way this summer. That is common knowledge. I also wouldn't mind inpregnating her and making musical babies.



Nice song innit. Bring on the summer.

Thanks.

The Dynamic Duo..






Whilst channel bouncing, i glimpsed Antique Roadshow which reminded me of a great song Joe Cornish from the Adam & Joe duo made, it's pretty amazing and lyrically outstanding..

"a boy from ghana with a stuffed llama. here's a farmer with a suit of armour "

When Russel Brand left 6 Music, i left that place for a looong time.. then returned when Russel Howard had a show, but left once again when he moved on to bigger things.. but when Adam & Joe got that Saturday slot, been listening since..

The Song-Wars segment and "Text The Nation" theme tune is enough for me to listen every weekend..

Download the podcast noowww

P.S- I don't watch Antique Roadshow
*cough*

Just stumbled upon this in the "Videos being watched right now..." section of YouTube.



Drinking game anyone? Take a shot every time he says "homo."
It's funny because he's obviously not all there. I love YouTube freaks. I might check out some more of his videos.

KANYE IS A GAY FISH

New South Park piss-take, they are always so outlandish and funny that they get away with it. I'm sure Kanye will love it. Although 'gay-kanye' jibes are a bit obvious, just because he likes fashion and ting. Maybe the guys at South Park should have been more creative on that side, even so, it's brilliantly funny and the song is kind of amazing.



Thanks.

Albums I'm Anticipating...

This post is dedicated to the fans. I was planning out in my head what albums are coming out soon, and thought I'd do a blog post about it.

Asleep in the Bread Aisle by the Bill Murray of rap Asher Roth is out on the 20th of April, which in regular people speak is 'very soon'. You may have already heard 'Lark on My Go Kart' and unless you've been living under a sound-proof rock, you've almost definately heard 'I Love College'. Many of the tracks have leaked, I've heard a couple but really I'm waiting for the album before iIjudge - cop 20/04.




Another album in definately anticipating is eagerly awaited fourth album from The Strokes, now unlike Asher Roth who's album is out in little over a week. This album is still in production, who knows when it will be released? It's The Strokes, probably be a year or so, but I'm anticipating it nonetheless.

Let's stop with all these Americans now, and have a little chat about how much I'm bloody looking forward to the new album from Mr Hudson - 'Straight No Chaser', scheduled for a summer '09 release, this Kanye West produced album gets my juices flowing - just the thought of it. We can agree that 'There Will Be Tears' is pleasurable on the old ear holes. I'm expecting big things for you Hudson, reach for them stars.




There we go, I hope everyone is happy with that, while I'm hear I will add that when Jamie T and The Cribs drop there new albums it will be a good day for music. Also Blueprint 3.
