Daft Punk x Coca-Cola Bottles (and new music?)

Music’s most recognized robots (sorry Kraftwerk) have now partnered with the world’s most recognized brand, Coca-Cola, for a limited edition series of gold and silver bottles to be made available in French clubs, and in limited qualities at Paris fashion temple, Collette. It’s the latest move by Daft Punk in what is clearly an ambition to become the world’s most famous robots, period.

B. DOLAN: 5 Ways to Bleed Your Customer (Video)

Firsthand account of corporate world's ills 

In the song “50 Ways to Bleed Your Customer,” from the Fallen House, Sunken City album, I play a cynical character giving advice to the listener on how to get ahead. When URB offered me this space, I figured I’d take the opportunity to dissect the song a little bit and talk about the meaning and issues behind some of the songs lyrics.

Fans of K’naan will recognize the track from his album Troubadour, and the remix is the highlight of the campaign with World Cup sponsor Coca-Cola.

Luckyiam reps the dirty south

You asked for a big long blog, so I'm gonna whip one out on ya!

Athens gets my seal of approval. It was the least packed show of the tour, so far, but they had a whole lot of heart and it was still more people there than at yer bf's rap shows. The home of REM and The B-52's, this city is a funky little college town where people all over migrate to for some reason.
