Isn´t that some great news for the last day of 2k8? Burger King Germany just introduced the “Rasta Long Chicken” (natural!), Dutty Artz have a podcast now, too, the next “Fly High” night in Leipzig is on its way, sewing machines are the next iPhones (via Artschoolvets), and Punkdownloads has quite a few Trojan boxes.

In case you haven´t seen Geko Jones’ original post on Dutty Artz yet: Jahdan and Stereotyp just came up with a clip for “Shake It Shake It” - their upcoming single on Crunchtime records. I especially dig the b/w dancing scenes.

It´s on again: in behalf of Austrian radio FM, 14 DJs look back on 2008 by delivering 45-minute-mixes each. The 2008on45 club music jugglings I´m looking forward to the most, come from DJ Trishes, Rayna and Rob Birch. Here´s the link to the FM4 stream. The 10hr-show starts at 7 pm CET.

The Rickards Bros. debut clip for Terry Lynn´s “The System” made rank 12 in Spin magazine´s list of the best 50 music videos of the year 2008.

From Lady MC Lynn’s fuck-the-police lyrics to the track’s frayed, forceful synth bass, this song boils angrily, and the Rickards Bros.-directed video employs documentary imagery that’s even more confrontational.

Workers at a rural Jamaican slaughterhouse drag pigs through the dust, whip them and brandish blood-soaked knives with sadistic relish. A brutal and no-doubt pale rendering of the island’s daily violence.

Congrats to Peter Dean and Peter John!

See some more work they did this year on the Rickards Bros. Vimeo profile and watch out for bigger things to happen in ‘09!
