BBC1 Interviews Kanye West [Video]



Love him or hate him, Kanye West knocked it out of the park with every element of his polemical project, Yeezus. Listeners can touch and taste what he dubs "today's textures" without losing sight of the sample-heavy, drum-loaded and violin-laced sounds of 808s and Graduation. In his sit-down with Zane Lowe, he seems comfortable enough to be candid about not only his creative process, but also the cultural, political and social issues that contributed to the content of his newest creation.

At the same time, there are moments in which he sounds more like Phil Knight (not necessarily a plus) than Kanye West. As a brand owner, his obsessive aspirations are in some ways understandable, but the conundrums within his communication is enough to choke on.

Still, the discussion delves into a surplus of subjects and makes for a great break away from the norm.

Radiohead: Staircase [Video]



We have to admit being perplexed by this Radiohead album. We read somewhere a few months prior to the release of King Of Limbs that the album would be more influenced by hip-hop than past endeavors, the author indicating that Thom Yorke had formed a newfound obsession with the genre and was experimenting with new sounds. However, upon purchasing, we quickly realized that was not the case, and although not a bad album by any means, it is absolutely not what we expected.

Nonetheless, the group has premiered a new track, Staircase, as part of their Live From The Basement feature on BBC.
