Julian Casablancas - Venus in Furs

Julian Fernando Casablancas is an American singer and songwriter. He is the lead vocalist of the rock band THE STROKES. In addition to his work with THE STROKES, Casablancas has led a solo career during the band's hiatus, releasing the album Phrazes for the Young on November 3, 2009.

In 2013, he formed the alternative rock project Julian Casablancas + The Voidz. They released their first album, Tyranny, in 2014. His own label, Cult Records, distributed the album, which earned the 50th place in NME's Top 50 Albums Of 2014 list. Over the years, Casablancas has also collaborated with several other artists on their work, examples being The Lonely Island's 2009 album Incredibad and DAFT PUNKs 2013 album Random Access Memories.

Julian Casablancas has said that Sam Cooke's "A Change Is Gonna Come" is his favorite song of all time. In addition, he has also cited Lou Reed of THE VELVET UNDERGROUND as a major influence on his lyrics and singing style. "The way Lou Reed wrote and sang about drugs and sex, about the people around him — it was so matter-of-fact," Casablancas stated in a Rolling Stone interview. "Reed could be romantic in the way he portrayed these crazy situations, but he was also intensely real. It was poetry and journalism." Additionally, he has stated that Bob Marley, NIRVANA and PEARL JAM are major influences on his work, the latter, being the reason he started making music after hearing the song "Yellow Ledbetter".

Today's tune "Venus in Furs" is a song by THE VELVET UNDERGROUND, written by Lou Reed and originally released on the 1967 album THE VELVET UNDERGROUND & NICO. Inspired by the book of the same name by Leopold von Sacher-Masoch, the song includes sexual themes of sadomasochism, bondage and submission. The song appeared in episode 2 of the TV series Vinyl during a flashback to Andy Warhol's Factory.

Kanye West - Stronger

Thursday, the fourth day, now it's basically finished, the clubs are already ready up and running on their first day. Out here in the "Slottsskogen" we await Friday before it breaks loose.

Here are the pictures that I promised to show today on these typical festival things that you always see, but you usually do not see them "pimped" like this. These toilets are random located in the area and becomes like a little surprise for the visitor, right nice huh.

 Here is a view on the loading bay of Azalea in the middle of the night ;)

 The portal to Linné Stage is on the way...out west ;)

 Snow Shoveling!!!

An art thing that i do not really understand.

Kanye West's post-modernism reborn in a living person's body, he's hubris and euphoria. He is spitting attitude, frenetic urbanity and irresistible disrespect. He is persona non grata and R & B icon.

Artist and producer who has written several of Jay-Z's hip-hop anthems, collaborated with the world's biggest pop stars and who possess an unhealthy worship of Michael Jackson is the archetypal artist of a 2010 speech in which genres are with each other without contraception. 2011's pop music in one long cooking of influences, odd taste mixtures and brazen thefts, and no snot, polishes and blood fill the hip-hop better than Kanye West.

You know. He is the lover, the fool, the genius and the dragontamer. It's hip hop without respect for the elderly, the soul of soulless.

Kanye West Is The headline on Flamingo, Saturday 22:30

Todays tune "Stronger" is a song released (July 31, 2007) as the second single from his third studio album Graduation. It was produced by West and contains an extended outro co-produced with Mike Dean. The song contains a vocal sample of "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" by French house duo Daft Punk, who received songwriting credit and had their costumes appear in its accompanying music video.
