Shabazz Palaces' record Black Up was a bit of a divider, but I still think they are incredible.

Here's their video for 'Are You... Can You... Were You? (Felt)':

Love Meets Rage by Code Pie

We love - we hate, we live -we learn, and sometimes we yearn for real music. Music by a group of people who spend the majority of their time together making tremendous music that has to pour from their souls. The Montrealers Code Pie was first spotted by moi at the French site Les in Rocks.

Description: Magic on Fire in a whirlwind of contentment.

It's not hard to tell this was produced by Switch and Buraka Som Sistema.

Win a Sigur Ros treat

If you were Johnny Young of Young Talent Time (or perhaps, a show/production company/record label that has a little more credibility) and you came across an amazing Icelandic band, what would you call them?

Yes, we often think about stuff like this.

Sigur Ros and French director Vincent Morriset have collaborated for InnI which includes live footage from the last two live performances from the band before their indefinite touring hiatus. :(

If you have a really good idea for a band name, send it through to comps@lifelounge.com and you could be the proud owner of one of three Sigur Ros prize packs including three (three!) 12", two CDs and a DVD.

Christmas cheer

According to my background my religion is a blend of Serbian Orthodox, Jewish, Anglican, atheist, and agnostic. So, my family doesn't really get that into Christmas.

But this video has turned it all around. COLOUR ME JOLLY, YOU GUYS.

Hopes for tomorrow

Sometimes it's hard enough to remember what happened yesterday, let alone think about what you hope happens tomorrow.

Introducing Dem Bones

author — Fri, 16 Dec 2011 10:00:00 GMT

Melbourne gurl Monique Belzunce started a company that means you can be crazed by style, and still be kind to the world.

How did Dem Bones come about?
Monique Belzunce: A healthy obssession with hunting, wanderlust, dress-ups and bones. These vices were infused with fashion and film styling that created the magic that DBV universe is today.

If you could sum up DBV in one word…
MB: Adventurous.

What do you love about vintage?
MB: Creating your own individual style statement with the aesthetic of past designs. Being a part of the evolving cycle and supporting sustainable fashion.

Your favourite item in-store at the moment?
MB: It's a battle between DBV's AMAZE 'Teal Dream' silk jumpsuit, tribal bodycon dress, and custom-made heavy metal studded shorts.

If you could dress anybody, head-to-toe in Dem Bones, who would you choose?
MB: OK, so this one is a tough one. Keeping true to some of the most current and inspiring homegrown gals that are amazingly talented – I would say Anja Konstantinova and Mandy Shadforth from Oracle Fox. Abroad would be my all time fav Alice Delall and Kurt Cobain's daughter Frances Bean.

Can you describe a Dem Bones Vintage kind of girl?
MB: The quintessential DBV gal inspires us all to wear our 'art on our sleeve, be in the moment, and exude charisma. Bad to the bone without the ego. She is tough, style obsessed and fashion conscious. The DBV gal loves to break rules and is determined make a statement on every adventure she takes.
