Tricky has always seemed like an artist whose bad side you don’t want to end up on. And he’s really cut loose in an interview with Exberliner magazine, in which he calls out Domino Records head Lawrence Bell and his former Massive Attack colleague 3D, whom Tricky calls “pretentious” and a “corny guy” who “always needs someone who’s a tall black guy.” OUCH! …MORE
Crosstown Rebels are presenting a festival that’s beyond comprehension; a two-day extravaganza that take place during the end of the world (according to the Mayan Calendar). Of course, having this on Playa Del Carmen during the supposed end of the world only makes it more intriguing/crazy/amazing/exciting.
