Mr Fuzzy, himself-Mephistophilus; published quite an eclectic Shag Tag slideshow on youtube of all the fyne "female" celebrity skin that he fantasizes about. His collection of " Women I'd love to shag and chill with", are a timeless assortment of pictures that were tastefully selected and correlated, accompanied by Portishead's Glory Box to add just enough subtle hints of sexuality and set the whole thesis for the video. I mean it is so artistically kinky that you'd have to be retarded not to appreciate this video....

It's going to be sad for me to stop working on this blog, because I already put a lot of effort into it, but I learned alot too-
SOOOOO, now I'm taking on the new world of wordpress blogging with all its fun features, and settings. I've been working on my new blog for a couple weeks now, and I think I'm going to be able to bring better and more articles to YOU, my favorite people, MY READERS!!!!!!!
I just found this awesome music video that was just released in November '09.
It's called Rio Grande, by female rapper Bunny Rabbit (aka Melisa Rincon). Bunny Rabbit is a female rapper straight out of Brooklyn, NY that collaborates and is produced by her partner Black Cracker (aka Celena Glenn), who also DJ's for CocoRosie. Together they released her debut album in 2007 "Lovers & Crypts", the first act in the Tall Tales of Bunny Rabbit.
Supposedly, the release of "Lovers and Crypts" symbolized the marriage between MC Bunny Rabbit & DJ Black Cracker.
. The video and sound of Rio Grande is 100% Trip-Hop, groovy, and dark as all hell. I LOVE IT!! She sounds like a little girl on a school playground singing "Ring Around the Rosie", rhyming naughty and explicit hip-hop lyrics. Of course while being accompanied by some sick acid bass beats.
I've heard her style referred to as, "midnight freestyle nursery rhymes" on her CD Universe Discography.
The video was directed by War Hologram (aka Crunc Tesla). It not only kept my attention but gave me that satisfying, dirty, groove feeling that most of us yearn for.
I just wanted to take the time to thank Totally Fuzzy Music Blog Aggregator for taking the time to review my blogg and add it to such a wonderful list of other talented music bloggers.
OK, so instead of writing a typical top 10 list of 2009; I figured I'd select/ foretell the top 5 Trip-Hop/ Downtempo trendsetting and ground-breaking artists of 2010. I swear that the 5 artists listed below will give us all something to look forward to for the next year. I put some long hard thought into it, and I derived this list based on the fact that these musicians like to give us something to talk about. Whether they're controversial, ground-breaking, or making a comeback- these Trendsetters are going to set the pace for all other trip-hop contenders.

First and foremost We all must tip our hat off to our beautiful blonde brit, Alice Russell.
She just released a music video for the single Let Us Be Loving of her latest album "Pot Of Gold"
It's not very often that Alice puts out music videos for her singles. I've only seen two; Hurry On Now, and Let Us Be Loving.
I didn't really care for Hurry On Now as a video. However, I am totally sprung on the song, and love it to death; I just think whoever directed the video was in a rush or something. The video could've been sweet, because the synopsis and basic idea was just as endearing as the lyrics. For her latest video, Let Us Be Loving, I think that she realized that video killed the radio star.
Here's a slideshow of her on stage live at the Big Chill 2009, where she performed along side Emiliana Torrini, & Lamb, just to name a few....
Her song, lyrics, and voice are phenomenal!

I can't wait for her new music video, Turn & Run, to hit the WorldWideWeb!

It shouldn't be any surprise to anyone that I still think of Zero 7 as a heavy-hitter and trip-hop trendsetter.
Since the release of Yeah Ghost in September '09, Henry Binns and Sam Hardaker have received bad reveiews all around from critics like http://www.musicomh.com/albums/zero-7-3_0809.htm . However I haven't given up on their creative abilities yet.
I was invited to download this song for free on myspace and I fell in love with it immediately. "Swing" sang by Binki Shapiro, on Yeah Ghost has the same fantastic, dreamy inducing feeling that we normally expect from Zero 7.
This is a live performance of "Swing".
Sam & Henry's next album is a guaranteed success, because this one received horrible reviews. I guess people don't think they put enough effort into it. And I guess I agree since I could only identify with one track.
And Let's not forget the forefathers: Portishead who have been so busy collaborating with Massive Attack on Heligoland, and still had time to record for Amnesty International...
This track is definitely a different musical approach for Portishead, but Beth's vocals somehow pulls it off. The single is only 99 cents to download, and it benefits International Human Rights...
Sneaker Pimps founding member, Chris Corner aka I AM X, has been whipping up all sorts of dark, mysterious music that will make you go bump in the night. His latest single with Imogen Heap, My Secret Friend,
was released in October '09 is available on his website, Boutique IAMX
.
http://www.boutiqueiamx.eu/
This single is off of IAMX's third studio album, Kingdom of Welcome Addiction. The music video is a total trip as well. In a recent interview with IAMX he described Kingdom of Welcome Addiction as being "like Disney World but with lipstick, cynicism and wit". postwave.gr interview with IAMX.

I really shouldn't even need to list number one! We all know Massive Attack is doing nothing BUT trendsetting. Especially with there very anticipated album, Heligoland that is going to be released in less than 6 weeks. The whole underground, electronic, trip-hop world is going to have a field day.
