JONSI / ‘Go Do’
GO DO.:. JONSI
This feels very much like Empire of The Sun smashed with Adam Ant. What say you?
Promising debut single from JONSI off his upcoming album Go out April 6 on XL Recordings.
HUMP DAY: ED MACFARLANE is so sexy It *HURTS*
Something stimulating for the start of your hump day. Taken from a Friendly Fires concert in the UK.
And a cheeky way to remind you to vote for FRIENDLY FIRES at the 2010 Brits. They’re up for Best British Breakthrough Act. Voting closes Feb 12 at 09:00 GMT. Click the pic below. (You must register, but worth it)
DAVID GUETTA feat. KID CUDI / “Memories” [official single]
MEMORIES.:. DAVID GUETTA featuring KID CUDI
Been looking forward to this single for a while. Brand new release “Memories” featuring Kid Cudi from David Guetta’s Ibizia-meets-American mainstream dance LP One Love. One of the best collaborations on the album and Kid Cudi does a stellar job on the vocals. Clip reminds me a lot of “Day ‘n’ Nite” with a reflective Cudi walking through sunny streets donning his own street yet chic blend of retro-futurist fashion — specifically his L.A. Guns N Roses throwback. Can’t wait to hear this in the clubs. Single cover below.
Because you & I both love HYPER CRUSH… x
A day in the life of MisterMara.com faves Hyper Crush. Shopping for Rolexes, blowing smoke on commuter planes, dope Street Fighter II tees, and authentic Chicago Bulls sweaters with a Costco card. KEEP UP, BABY – xx, MisterMara
MR HUDSON gives us ‘72 Hours In New York’
Coming off the incredible high of his recent one-off gig at the grand opening of the swanky Renaissance Hotel 57 here in New York, Birmingham Boy Wonder, Mr Hudson recently posted a montage clip for fans and friends alike to get a taste of behind the scenes Hudson from the stage to backstage and on the set. Hats off to him as his “Young Forever” collabo is doing major ‘net damage (the clip is at 3+ million views on YouTube and shows no signs of slowing). He’s gearing up for a UK tour in May (do you have your tickets?) and hoepfully, he’ll make a jaunt Stateside just in time for the Summer [or Fall] if we’re lucky. I will definitely keep you posted on his tour sched.
Plus head to his official blog to read his latest piece in the February 2010 issue of NYLON magazine.
PULL AND BEAR Spring/Summer 2010
Barcelona is on my brain. xx, MisterMara

CYNDI LAUPER & LADY GAGA pucker up for Viva Glam
Prepare to see fashionistas’ heads exploding over the pairing of pop style icons Cyndi Lauper and Lady Gaga for MAC’s new Viva Glam print ad campaign. The New York divas showed their true colors (ouch!) by lending their time and their likenesses to Viva Glam, as all cash made from sales of the lipstick goes toward the MAC AIDS Fund. The photo was shot by Ellen Von Unwerth. Hop below to see the full “From Our Lips” ad, a naughty homage to vintage bad girls which will be popping up in magazines worldwide later this month.

NEW YOUNG PONY CLUB / ‘Chaos’ [official video]
/ / / / / WAKE-UP CALL
CHAOS.:. NEW YOUNG PONY CLUB
I am LOVING “Chaos” the new single by New Young Pony Club off their upcoming sophomore album The Optimist due March 1. The song is slinky, seductive and all around atmospheric. It’s what I’ve come to love from this band and they just charge right along with another cut crafted for indie and dancefloor appeal. I skate to this song almost every day now. So much pungent red in the clip, style for days. Must see them on tour.
CLUB BANGER: CHESTER FRENCH “Ciroc Star” ft. Diddy & Jadakiss
/ / / / / CLUB BANGER
CIROC STAR.:. CHESTER FRENCH STARRING DIDDY, JADAKISS & CLINTON SPARKS
Happy Friday, readers. I’ve been waiting to get my hands on this (as detailed in my “Cirocumentary” post last week) and it’s finally here. The full, official video for “Ciroc Star” the banger from Chester French and Clinton Sparks‘ Jacques Jams Vol. 1 Endurance mixtape last year. It got the video treatment, so it looks like this is not only in promotion of Diddy’s beverage company Ciroc, but also a new album by Chester French and a new movie by Diddy Last Train To Paris. Looking forward to all of the newness by these guys as this is a hot collabo. Enjoy the weekend!

STAYGOLD, ROBYN, SPANK ROCK & DAMIEN ADORE
BACKSEAT.:. STAYGOLD, ROBYN, SPANK ROCK & DAMIEN ADORE
Absolute winning performance of the collaborative song “Backseat” by Staygold, Robyn, Spank Rock & Damien Adore (Salem al Fakir) on the Swedish P3 GULD awards last week. This performance is the talk of youtube right now and with good reason. Beautiful vocals, lush sound and a stage presence that’s as quirky as it is daring. Take notes for the sound of 2010.
WHO.IS.AMI.WHOAMI?
A new clip has surfaced from the perplexing pop project known only by the youtube account handle “iamamiwhoami.” There’s no discernible title to the minute-twenty clip other than it being numbered as:
9.20.19.13.5.723378
Some sources [VMAN magazine, among them] speculate this is the upcoming studio project by Christina Aguilera, others think it’s too avant garde to be linked to a former TRL darling. Personally, I have not chosen sides, but find the videos to be slick, visually stimulating and ambiguously creepy in a dystopian, rebirth sort of way. MisterMara.com will keep you updated on AMI WHOAMI as it’s surely one of the more interesting pop findings to surface from first quarter 2010.
TODDLA T hits us with FABRICLIVE 47
Fans of the Fabriclive series are in luck. DJ Toddla T – known for his debut LP and blog favorite Skanky Skanky — crafted his very own offering for the seminal Fabric CD collection series, now on its 47th volume. You can hear him spinning his signature blend of dubstep, grme and dancehall including hot remixes by Skream, Andy George and Cavemen — who mix Duffy’s “Stepping Stone.” Heard him spin this fall at a party in the East Village and I’m a big fan of his monthly show on Radio 1, so this is a welcomed extension.
