Typical. Just minutes after describing Theophilus London as what Kanye would be if he was cool and not a complete arse Kanye puts this out as a reminder that sometimes he is cool, not a complete arse and is never to be underestimated. Arse.

Kanye West feat Dwele – Power

Just discovered Theophilus London. I know, I’m a little behind the times, but probably still three years ahead of Q Magazine. He’s had three mixtapes out from what I gather: Jam, This Charming Mixtape – apparently he’s a big Morrissey fan, but don’t hold that against him – and at the end of April he put out the brilliant I Want You.

I can’t get hold of the first two and most of the links I found to I Want You were broken. However, I found a SoundCloud playlist here. Not ideal, but well worth sticking with. Make the most of it while it’s still there.

He’s like what Kanye would be if he was cool and not a complete arse.

Evidently there’s an album on the way, so for more info Theophilus’s website is here and his myspace is here.

Vice Magazine and Intel have put together The Creators Project to showcase the work of influential and inspiring musical innovators and creators. Diplo, Peaches, James Lavelle, Phoenix, Richie Hawtin, Laurent Garnier, Mark Ronson and film maker Spike Jonze all feature.  Including an exclusive interview with each artist, videos and biographies it’s really very good.

Greatest rock video ever. Stadiums? Check. Guitars? Check. Girls? Check. Hanging out in guitar shops in black and white while smoking cigarettes, signing autographs and generally looking like you don’t give a fuck? Check. Sometimes it’s worth watching as a reminder that this is what being in a rock band is meant to be like.

Love, love, loving this from You Say Party! We Say Die!

Erykah Badu’s new album New Amerykah Part Two (Return of the Ankh), follow-up to the stunning, off-head R&B slouch that was New Amerykah Part One (4th World War), is finally on the way. By way of celebration, here’s the video for Part One’s glorious single, Honey. Genius.

New Cold War Kids single, Audience Of One. Couldn’t get into the last album at all. This one sounds like it may well make up for it.

Jamie Lidell returns with Beck, Feist and Nikka Costa. Reasons to be cheerful, one, two, three (and indeed, four).

My new favourite video. Mirrorkicks cover of Bleedin’ Love + cheerleaders = future video classic.

Also worth noting that Mirrorkicks are in the process of making a video to accompany ever track on their brilliant, forthcoming album. More bands should do the same.
