Dos Equis by Kaws
Looks like that gallery show in CT last month is paying dividends for Kaws as he ropes in another corporate gig, this time with fine beer purveyor Dos Equis. This special project features two color ways of Kaws-designed beer bottles. These bottles literally feature 'dos equis', prominently displaying Kaws' signature dueling x's all over the bottle. The green/red color way is for Dos Equis Lager, and the brown/red color way is for the Amber. Word is that these may only be a Mexican exclusive, but it doesn't seem like that should be the case. Regardless, look for these to drop next month, let's hope they get a stateside release as well.

Thom Yorke: "Give Up The Ghost" Live at The Big Chill
Thom Yorke took the stage at England's Big Chill Music Festival on Saturday (other acts included M.I.A.) and performed a new Radio Head song, "Give Up The Ghost". Using his hand as the percussion section, Yorke gave a great performance, which also saw him record and loop his own voice on stage. See the video below.
M.I.A.: "I'm Illy" Video
"I'm in tight jeans, and I also know Billie Jean."
If the above quote does not represent being "Illy" then I don't know what does. Dropping her second video in less than 24 hours, M.I.A. takes to the open road for "I'm Illy". Anyone who has her new album I think can agree that this pretty much looks how listening to her album sounds. It's definitely a shaky trip. See the video below.
50 Cent Ambushes Shyne Conference Call
Yesterday XXL and Gangland hosted a conference call for Shyne. I decided not to participate cause I had a slew of meetings and stuff to get through, and just thought it would be an overall train wreck. I guess I was partly right in my hunch, it was indeed a train wreck, but a very funny and eventful one. In a case of, "I'm bored and can do whatever I want", 50 Cent got his Adam Corrolla on and prank called Shyne pretending to be a radio host that "comes on right after Tim Westwood." Without a Radio One program guide in hand, they put 50 Cent through where he asked Shyne about his beef with 50 Cent and then berated him while Shyne looked dazed and confused. See the video below.
