Riz MC 'Radar'

Thu, 27 Nov 2008 09:12:36 -0500

Crosstown Rebels is proud to present the smash single ‘Radar’ from Riz MC. The video was directed by Lily Smith, and there’s also a Riz MC / Rebel Rave film in the making. www.rebelrave.tv Riz Ahmed is a seriously versatile UK talent, winning plaudits by word of mouth across a diverse range of audiences. His recent and upcoming gig listing is a testament to his rare ability to win a following across such diverse crowds, recently supporting Jazzy B (Soul II Soul) at Wembley Arena, playing The Warehouse Project with Dizzee Rascal, and a prison with Billy Bragg. Nitin Sawhney put Riz forward to become an Emerging Artist in Residence at London’s Southbank Centre and was hand picked by Massive Attack to support them at this year’s Meltdown Festival. He continues to defy categorization with his new single ‘Radar’ - a dagger of a tune, built from an infectious riff that immediately gets under your skin. Simultaneously ballsy and classy, it’s a bold musical creation with an intense sound; biting lyrics cut through banging hypnotic beats to devastating effect, pitching somewhere between Mos Def and the Prodigy. Recorded in a tiny, non-professional studio, the claustrophobic feel of Radar compliments the lyrics. “It’s about drowning in information, advertising, and labeling - and how that makes you pigeonhole everything you see… You should listen to it LOUD to get the full impact – I’m not great at making background music. “ Riz’s caustic and concise lyrics pick apart the kind of topics most MC’s don’t touch without ever straying into clichéd, self-righteous ‘conscious MC’ territory. Influenced by Bjork, 4Hero and Radiohead, Riz creates bold and innovative tunes without resorting to kitsch, trashy or retro elements. “I want to make 21st century music that has something to say. I want to explode the current scene with something more substantive and or...

Kindle DX impressions: Big screen, but prohibitively expensive

Thu, 07 May 2009 05:29:42 -0400

With a few minutes, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos unveiled the newest Kindle, named the Kindle DX — a larger screen version of the Kindle 2 that adds some features like PDF reading and an accelerometer to dynamically switch orentations. We linked to the specs earlier, so it’s time for the meat: Our impressions of the device. On the panel today is freelance writer and columnist Gary Krakow, and Jason Hiner, Editor-in-chief of TechRepublic. We're all feeling a bit of apprehension toward the device, with Gary pointing out the $490 is going to be a tough pill to swollow for most people. Jason points out the device has a companion application for the iPhone platform, which leads to the logical conclusion: Why haven't they made software for desktops? I'm pretty much dead set against the Kindle DX, though I might opt for the Kindle 2. It's pretty ballsy to market a $490 device for reading books, when I could get a 10.1" netbook for around the same price that can surf the web on a color screen, and the like. Sure, my netbook might not have the long battery life, or as be as comfortable on the eyes as the epaper display, all 16 shades of its monochromatic wonderment, but for me, and most cash strapped college students, I think we're going to save our dollars for "real gadgets".
