A PLACE TO BURY STRANGERS ON PEREZ HILTON

It's an unlikely link-up I know, but weirder things have happened, like Scarlett Johansson doing an album of Tom Waits covers, produced by the dude from TV On the Radio for example. Read about it HERE.

THA CARTER III

YES! Look what just landed in my hands.

Thanks to Lil Wayne for sending me a copy in recognition of the fact that I liked him before any other white person in the UK .

P.S. I've only listened to it once, but it's not as good as 'Tha Carter' or 'Tha Carter II'.

I LOVE THE SHIT OUT OF THIS.

LILLICA LIBERTINE AT GLASTONBURY

Meal Deal artist Lillica Libertine has just been added to the bill for this year's Glastonbury Festival. He'll be playing on the Radio One Stage over the weekend.

Stay tuned for more details.

This makes him one of about two black artists on the bill (the other being Jay-Z).

Amazing.

You can download his remix of tapedeck's single 'Destiny' from here.

BODEANS

Seriously, one of the main reason we started this label was because of Bodeans. If you've never fucked with Bodeans before, seriously you should. With sushi eating dickwads overtaking the city, it's pretty refreshing to see a chain of restaurants who are proud to stick up two-fingers to the government's continual efforts to convince us that alcohol and obesity are bad for us by sticking a picture of a fat dude pounding a bottle of Bud on their website.

Trust me, I've eaten at some of the most badass diners in the whole of New York and Bodeans is up there. However, here's a tip: never sit downstairs. Only arseholes sit downstairs; the type of arsehole who would probably order a tuna steak with roasted vegetables from a rib joint.

See, here's a picture of upstairs. It's full of salt-of-the-earth kind of people, who probably like listening to The Hold Steady and eating burgers.

Now contrast this with the picture of downstairs. Look, it's full of the type of people who like ambient lighting and being an arsehole:

P.S. I once went to Bodeans on my own; had a Boston Butt, a Coke and watched the world go by from my uncomfortable window seat. At my last reckoning, that's pretty much the most manly I have ever felt.

A PLACE TO BURY STRANGERS VINYL IN PITCHFORK (THE SAGA CONTINUES)

It's the summer of sequels (hello, 'The Dark Knight', 'The Incredible Hulk', 'Tha Carter III'...and hell, hopefully 'Cuban Linx 2',) so Pitchfork decided to get in on the act and run the second installment of the incredible interesting story involving Meal Deal, a record pressing plant and the volume of A Place to Bury Strangers' music. You can read about it here.

P.S. If you came here by clicking the link in Pitchfork's article, then maybe don't click the link on this page otherwise you'll be doing an Aaliyah and going back n' forth all day.
