LOOKY WHAT CAME IN THE MAAAAIIIILLLLLL!!! 😂❤️💕💞💖💕 - WOO!! 😃 Today I got my custom print Eiffel 65 shirt for when I go see them in Canada this summer! 😄💕 (if the concert is even being held anymore, thanks to the damn Corona virus 😷🍺) I came up with the sprites for Jeffrey and Maury (and Gabry, too, but we try not to talk about that 🤐) quite a bit ago, but with my boys coming back for a concert that is ALL ABOUT 90's nostalgia, I thought it would be really cool to slap my pixelized vid'ya game designs on a Tshirt 😎 (You don't know how much I'd kill to have a game with Jeff and Maury as playable characters, btw; it could be based on the Blue video, maybe? 🤔). - I figured really old skool games 🎮 + 80's-90's nostalgia + E65 = a can't-go-wrong-combo 😁 And even if the concert is canceled (and TBH I'd rather my guys and their families stay safe since they ARE from Italy where the outbreak is somewhat severe), I still love the fuck out of this shirt, and I only hope from the bottom of my heart and a few other organs that Jeff and Maury will see this and maybe have it put a smile on their faces 😊 - Blue kisses! 😘💙 - (BTW, I got this shirt from Uberprints.com and they did a fantastic job on it, 10/10 would recommend👍) - @jeffreyjey @maurylobina @eiffel65gram - #eiffel65 #eiffel #E65 #jeffreyjey #maurylobina #mauriziolobina #gianfrancorandone #mauriziolobina #bluedabadee #eiffel65blue #pleaseselectplayer #ichooseyou #nintendo #pixelart #oldschool #oldskool #oldschoolgaming old-school games #supermariobros2 #electriccircus #90snostalgiatour #gamesprites #sprites #uberprints #videogames #80s #80snostalgia #90snostalgia #90snostalgia https://www.instagram.com/p/B9u1H4Pgyrl/?igshid=b6ym6ubs4yvv

VIA @QUESTLOVE 15 years ago today #ElectricCircus scared most of y’all. Both @TheRoots & @Common were in this tandem package of underground hip hop cats allowed to play in reindeer games. Our previous offerings #ThingsFallApart (us) & #LikeWaterForChocolate (him) opened doors we’d NEVER thought would let us in. It’s almost crazy that we both decided to make departure albums at the same time too. The question was who was gonna “out crazy” the other. From how I saw it if we had made #ThingsFallApartSomeMo in 2002 there would have been no surprises and by then “that sound” (neo soul/whatever you call it) was to me played out. Not to mention you hear how Slllooowwww thhhiiinnnggss sooound on #TheRootsComeAlive? I wanted energetic material that made our live show EXCITING hence the rebellious angle #Phrenology took. These albums are practically identical twins. #JefLeeJohnson spent 40 mins on #JimiWasARockStar in studio B, then 10 mins later we running his axes to Studio A to give The Roots the same magic on our 11 min #Water. I believe the first song we made for this album @VikterDuplaix liked so much he convinced Rash (Common) to let him have it and Rash can do a verse if he likes (😱😱😱😱😱) man I was mad Rash agreed. That song was my baby. The next night I think we had the skeleton of #HeavenSomewhere done & seconds later came #BetweenYouAndMeAndLiberation because @JamesPoyser didn’t have a full kit set up in his studio I remember making a “snare” drum out of a stack of cymbals on a chair (I was too lazy tonget mine from the hallway and I didn’t think rash would take something so radical sounding. turns out he did. I have limited space here so I’ll briefly share my fav story: The week we spent at @officialpaisleypark. @Prince (on tour) he was now in big brother mode & less “our idol” he gave us run of the studio & let us use whatever we wanted. (we as in Dilla/Pino/Poyser/Me) we’d send him parts to play (#Star69 is Dilla James & Prince on Keys me on drum programming Pino on bass) most important he let us play w his covered up Oberheim synths & the Linn Drum (see the interlude AFTER 69) so magical man. So much magic

Electric Circus's "Some Kinda Love" - A New Kind of Alt-Rock From the heart of Newcastle sprouts a substantial noise guaranteed to capture the consciousness of listeners far and wide. It's the potent roar of the UK based alt-rock band, Electric Circus, who are carving their niche with the release of their electrifying third single, "Some Kinda Love". https://open.spotify.com/track/4K5q6NI1B85Ja2J46F1q2x?si=7943e5a45aa6499e Pulsing with unmistakable vigour, "Some Kinda Love" is an anthem begging for the undeniable longing that is hardwired into our human essence. It's about the hunger for connection in all of its beautiful, messy complexity. Within the rocking rhythm and vocal grit, this solitaire is an endearing account of the tumultuous journey within relationships, illuminating the desire for affection and love amid the trying times. "Some Kinda Love" sets itself apart with its remarkable auditory deluge, led by a well-rounded quartet consisting of frontman Shaun Lamb, Brad Woodlands, Jordan Sowerby, and Ryan Brown. The synergy between these four souls is strikingly evident as their combined skillset rolls out a torrent of high-energy rock that pushes the boundaries of the genre yet remains comfortably nestled within it. From the onset, the track assaults you with its energic beats that pump through your veins; it's akin to swallowing a music note shaped lightning bolt. The heavy rock vibe balanced with nuanced instrumentation ensures "Some Kinda Love" is anchored, broad in scope yet accessible. [caption id="attachment_51208" align="alignnone" width="1355"] Electric Circus's "Some Kinda Love" - A New Kind of Alt-Rock[/caption] Shaun Lamb's vocals stretch across the track, maneuvering the lyrical landscape with a gritty sincerity that echoes the stalwarts of the genre and hints at influences from yesteryears' grunge maestros. The vocals, which dwell somewhere between a gruff whisper and a raucous bellow, perfectly mirror the lyrical conception. It's a raw, emotional, vocal tour-de-force that, married to the potent instrumental backdrop, crafts the rebellious but soulful aura of "Some Kinda Love". Weaving through the narrative of love's rollercoaster, the lyrics offer an iota of vulnerability, a departure from the hard-hewn exterior typically associated with heavy alt-rock. This adds a layer of depth that permits the listener to establish a personal connection and to reflect on their relationships. Bromsen’s “Read About It”: A Synth-Driven Elegy to the Artistic Spirit The production quality is at its pinnacle, balancing the hard-hitting drum patterns, gnashing guitars, and roaring vocals without losing the track’s audial integrity. It does not overpower or underwhelm but strikes a delicate equilibrium, thus amplifying the band’s musical expressiveness. "Some Kinda Love” transmits an intoxicating mix of contagious energy, memorable melodies, and conscientious lyrics. It's a musical ride on the wild side of love's battleground and a testament to Electric Circus's ability to pour sentiment into their hard-edged sound. The alt-rock soundscape better braces itself; there's a new ringleader – Electric Circus, churning out their brand of love – some truly invigorating kind!
