More from SXSW


This was up on Fader yesterday and it's more highlights from the Levi's Fader Fort at South by Southwest. If you haven't already spent the last 9 hours of your life browsing through Fader and watching all the highlights from S X S W, then you are crazy.

This first clip is Kid Cudi performing "Day N Nite" with a little help from Kanye. It's an awesome version because Cudi flips it into his Crookers Remix halfway through.

Second, Peter Bjorn and John stopped by and did some stuff including their new song "Nothing To Worry About". My buddy Adam mentioned that whatever song PB&J opened with was by the far the coolest song he's ever heard from them. Either way, this is a great song and here it is live.

Update Coming Soon


Sorry...life's been rather busy. Trips are coming and work needs to be done. I'll have some stuff soon. Thanks for the patience. In the meantime, watch this video of Kanye from S X S W.

It's a cool version of the song...and there are 392 dudes on the stage helping him. Also there is a guy next to him who is signing for the deaf. I know there were people on stage doing sign language for Kanye when he performed in Chicago @ Lollapalooza this past summer...Maybe Kanye has a ton of deaf people that are fans. Who knows. It's just funny to see a 6' 4 240-lb black guy dancing and doing sign language for a room full of totally sweaty, dance-crazy, drunk people. But that's South by Southwest.

Also, here's a clip of Common, Erykah Badu, and Kanye all coming together for a little freestyle, and some of Common's hit "The Light". I've never been to S X S W but I know people who just came back and it's essentially the greatest time of your life. Sweat, incredible music, alcohol, parties, and Austin, Texas. It's pretty much unbeatable from what I hear. Definitely on the list of things to do once in life at least.

If you like these and need a lot more of a fill from SXSW, just look all over Fader's site. They had it covered from A-Z. Enjoy.

'Stronger' - Kanye West on VH1's Storytellers


Kanye's making his first appearance on VH1's Storytellers this weekend and here's a little preview from his performance (it appears VH1's video player does not work right now. Sorry).

After not hearing 'Stronger' in a long-time, it's nice to remember how good of a song it was. My ears don't immediately begin to bleed anymore when they register Daft Punk's electro-beat.

Kanye's appearance will air this Saturday, February 28th and chronicles most of the new music from '808's & Heartbreak'. He does perform some of the rapping classics like the one above.

If anything, it'll probably be worth it to try and figure out where his mullet is going next.
