Video
Frank Ocean travels the world in his new video for “Lost,” from last year’s Channel Orange, skipping from one locale to another on a jet to skateboard, chat up locals and visit an art museum. Directed by Francisco Soriano, the video builds a montage of clips from personal moments that Ocean labels “summer 2012 in a Tumblr post. But at the end of the cheerful video, the lonely singer stares out at an ocean sunset from the backseat of a car – a sign that he’s still searching for something special.

NotesJake Bugg - Lightning Bolt
I’m really into Jake Bugg. This boy has been tearing through the British music scene and I’m so pleased for him and the pop chart children because we have raw, organic talent dominating Radio 1 at last.
His lyrics are poetic in a very honest, Northern working-class kind of way. There’s something about his melodies and the stories in his songs that make me think his songs are going to be appreciated for many years to come; I don’t see Jake Bugg as a momentary fad, he’s a solid song-writer with a very classic sound. And he’s only nineteen!Jake Bugg is a Nottingham lad who was more interested in football than music and first left his country last year to support Michael Kiwanuka in Paris. He seems like the least pretentious person ever, especially considering his quick rise to fame. In interviews he’s become known for his honest answers; when he was asked was it was like going to the Brit Awards, he replied: “Quite boring actually… they could have put some better acts on”.
His self-titled album is released in the US April 9th!

Notes269 playsPailhead — I Will Refuse
In the small amount of time that is a week I’ve been listening to Pailhead.
Someone mentioned it to me a while ago, but I didn’t remember the name so I couldn’t check it out. This week someone I follow on tumblr brought them back to me in a post where it said Ian MacKaye had been part of it.
I was feeling curious and adventured myself to listen to them. I kind of didn’t see the point at first, but eventually ended up enjoying the whole Trait album. Specially this song, I Will Refuse, which got me loving what I would describe as a monotonous begining with this sudden rise of the music, speeding the song up.
“Ah yes, nice find!” I told myself while I nodded my head in approval.

New from M.I.A an agitprop dance record that restyled hip-hop as one big international block party, mixing up beatbox riddims, playground rhymes, left-field samples and gunshots. It was also, against all odds, a hit, which spawned a huge single and transformed M.I.A. from a cult heroine to an A-lister.
