The video for Penguin Prison’s pop-anthem Don’t Fuck With My Money features hundreds of protesters rallying, holding up signs and dancing together in the streets during Occupy Wall Street.
The Weeknd remixes Florence - ugh, can’t get enough of these two
Zane Lowe just premiered The Weeknd’s take on Florence + the Machine’s new single Shake It Out. It’s very dark and sexy, obviously. No singing from Abel’s part (unfortunately), just additional producing and baller beats by the xo-crew.
I already posted a link to The Oatmeal’s “State of the Web” but this was worth reblogging.

Yes, NYC plz.
Come to NYA decent-quality audio bootleg of the Weeknd’s first-ever show in Toronto last Sunday.
Been listening to his new album, on repeat, on Spotify all day today. Packed with super-cool, head-bopping summer jams. And those last two tracks, totally not what you’d expect from Mr. London, but totally worth those vocal lessons.
What’s the story behind the girl on “One Last Time?”
“One Last Time” was written about this girl, one of my favorite rappers—her name isMapei. She’s an indie legend. She lived in Stockholm, but all of a sudden she just jumped off the radar. She started to work with Downtown Records, started getting produced by Justice but now no one can find her. I called her ex-boyfriend, called her booking agent, just called everyone to try to get a hold of her and then finally I heard that she’s not doing well. She’s living on the street or something like that, so I just wanted to make a song to reach out to her.Was that one of the most challenging songs to record?
“I Stand Alone” and “Lighthouse” are the songs I put the most effort into. I took four singing lesson courses to just finish those songs alone. I sat down with this lady and worked on my voice; she helped me understand the power of it. I couldn’t have finished those songs without those lessons. Also, the lyrics have a lot of meaning to me. “Lighthouse”…that’s one of my favorites.
