A sneaky peeky at the upcoming Kanye video for one of the best tracks this year off one of the best albums of the year. Tyler from Odd Future was spitting on Twitter a while ago. This is exactly what he would do if he had money….

And so in the space a few weeks Steve Coogan arrived back into the world of ‘proper’ comedy – as opposed to bad Hollywood comedy – twice, in the form of…well…himself, in The Trip, and one Alan Partridge in the new Fosters-sponsored online shorts. Knowing me, Alan Partridge, knowing you, suspicious and cynical viewer, Aha. [...]

Yeah my shirt got a fuckin’ wolf on, what you know about that, hipster muthafukka? Following the nod from Benny, The Fader and now Wire magazine, it looks like Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All are going places real fast – that said, the places they go will likely involve hard drugs, sex crimes, [...]
