Deck The Halls

Coldest Winter ft. BLACKBEAR

(All I Want) Baby Please Come Home

This Winter
I won't be shaving my legs
If I choose to eat organic
Can't afford no razor blades
I'll be bringing in my solstice
In my Stevie Nicks Dress
Channeling my Energy to make my life 
less of a mess

This Summer I'll be hanging out
In my crystal cavern tavern KIIS FM playing loud
I'll be raging the midsummer
Spirit creature by my side
McDonald's double-double keep me nourished all through the night

Book of the Dead
Won't you teach me how to live?
Occam's got his razor 
I got Achilles' heel

Cause I talk a lot of shit
Bout changing up the planet
Start a revolution
Speaking holographic
Sing along man down in Juarez
Hands up in the street
Federal Reserve and the last judicial seat
Feel like Burt from Mary Poppins
Swallowed up by the swell
Keep waiting on the winds to change
Stead of changing myself

Book of the Dead
Won't you teach me how to live?
Occam's got his razor 
I got Achilles' heel
Book of the Dead
Won't you teach me how to live?
Occam's got his razor 
I got Achilles' heel

Book of the Dead
Won't you teach me how to live?
Been losing direction like a man behind a wheel

This this Winter Winter
I'll be strip mall shop and wander
Gotta get some new shoes makes my unshaved legs look longer
This this Summer Summer
Slam acetaminophen 
Talkin' esoteric healing 
Ancient Aliens
Makes its easier to swallow makes the medicine go down
Makes it easier to swallow makes the medicine go down


Happy Valley

Solstice

Teamed up with my dear friend Joe to do a lil holiday ditty for you guys, albeit with a few more comfortable twists! Pull on a big sweater, brew up a hot beverage,  curl up under a blanket, and then listen - with headphones, of course. xo

Baby It's Cold Outside ft. Jude Torres (Cover)

Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house, people were listening to this ominously seductive cover of The First Noel by our favourite LA lovers, @OOFJ. Otherwise known as Jenno Bjornkjær and Katherine Mills-Rymer (of Denmark and South Africa respectively) OOFJ met in New York while the former was working on the score for Lars Von Trier’s Melancholia, and have since relocated to sunnier climes, released debut album Disco To Die To and begun teasing us with their next instalment, Acute Feast. 

Tonight, before you cosy up in bed and let visions of sugarplums dance in your head, curl up next to the fire with i-D and fall under OOFJ's sexy Christmas spell.

Christmas cover: OOFJ - The First Noel

If you've listened to Top 40 radio or flipped through the video channels during the past few years, odds are pretty good you know something about John Legend. He played piano on Lauryn Hill's "Everything Is Everything" and might as well be considered Kanye West's sidekick, having assisted the producer and MC on several sessions — Jay-Z's "Encore" and Slum Village's "Selfish" being two of the more prominent 2004 singles featuring his work. A former choir director, he has also released a handful of energetic live discs, some of which are credited to his less hubristic birth name, John Stephens. And though he claims "I've got something new," you've also heard substantial chunks of Get Lifted in records made decades ago by Sly & the Family Stone, Curtis Mayfield, Quincy Jones, and Bill Withers. This might not be a problem for listeners who crave anything that recalls the music they first heard in their youth, but Legend's over-reliance upon his inspirations is an impediment as much as a slick way to grab attention. That's because he has more than enough talent and charm to get by on his own. His own lyrics and hooks are unique and clever enough to get the point across that he's no everyday R&B artist and, just as importantly, he has a personable and instantly fetching voice you could listen to all day long. However, the association with West — whose Sony-distributed boutique label released the record — is very helpful. Without it, Legend would likely be zoned into neo-soul (2003's Live at SOB's New York City really makes this notion apparent), thereby standing little chance of reaching the ears of anyone younger than 30. The production work supporting his songs strikes a fine balance between soul and hip-hop, allowing him to appeal to those who are coming from either angle. This is a very good record. It's a given that Legend is destined to make at least two others that top it.

Did this remix in 2005 and always break it back out for the Holiday Season.  It has appeared on a few random compilations here and there so some of you might have heard it.  I only had the 2 track to work with so I had to get tricky but it's fun and I got to put my slant on this classic, enjoy!
