the first offering from Liam Gallagher/ Oasis co-starring Andy Bell/ Pretty Green… whatever the fuck you want to call it, seems an accurate glimpse at what we can expect from our kid moving forward. 2 minutes of straight-forward, no bull-shit rock and roll. that’s no bullocks folks, d’you know what i mean?? godlike.

awesome. “Agent White” is a new track from manchester dub producer Illum Sphere. this gem, initially to be released on Illum’s now delayed Long Live The Plan EP (expected Feb. 18) has been cleared by the artist as a free download. so download now, kids, cause apparently “Agent White” will no longer be heard on the EP, or any release for that matter. the track takes inspiration from his favorite Japanese animation film. dig it.

from their fifth studio LP Heligoland, to be released Feb. 8 2010, Massive Attack offer “Paradise Circus”. the track treads easy and confident featuring the sultry vox of former Mazzy Star and current The Warm Inventions frontlady, Hope Sandoval. in addition, “Paradise Circus” comes in tow with a naughty as hell music video. if you haven’t seen it yet, check it below (btw this video is NSFW in case you don’t want to/can’t watch!).
