His manic/maniac performances tell one part of the
Read Morelive from Oklahoma, USA Morgan Tepsic takes a couple of minutes to chat to Grateful Grapefruit about the year of traveling and naked jumping he will embark on today; about his porn ambitions and Oklahoma (where he originally comes from). He also promised to visit Berlin coming winter. The shot you see above is the last from his home town
Read MoreShe is really dancing on her own in her latest video. Robyn just did the last editing to the video and posted it right away on vimeo and her blog. It’s a non-pretentious video with nice shots, cool stop motions and the usual overflow of positive energy we expect from Robyn. The mix is a bit different from the album

Read MoreNo matter what your first association might be, Patent Leather Daddy (PLD) is a music blog for gentlemen with good taste in music and… men. But we’ll talk about the blog later.
