Seamy things keep going on over at Patrik Söderstams CONTRAACT tumblr! Speaking of Söderstam, hope you all remember his legendary throwbacks with vampire dentures, that would be what ASAP Rocky really would kill for today!

Biting the Bullet

Decidastyle — Thu, 09 May 2013 09:43:15 +0000

Coming from a line of people where the culture of biting the bullet was the only way to go. Some took it to an extreme. Did they gain what they wanted from it, did the people around them?

Our Heads Where Somewhere Else

Decidastyle — Sun, 05 May 2013 17:28:28 +0000

On Sundays, in spring, the wind had its special way of blowing over an empty, grainy sidewalk in Uppsala. Had been waiting all week for the weekend because something exciting could go down. But the expectations hardly never became fulfilled. Maybe because our heads always where somewhere else.

Q.U.E.E.N.

Decidastyle — Thu, 02 May 2013 08:48:20 +0000

It's here, the video for Q.U.E.E.N. Ok. the funk sound is far from surprising. Your hopes are high over these women on the same track, which can lead to disappointment. Erykah flows on the the beat the way only she can but it's not until Janelle pulls of a rap it really does something for me! That something is sometimes concealed in her artistery - but right there it is a glance of it! Can I get more?!

I asked a question like this
"Are we a lost generation of our people?
Add us to equations but they'll never make us equal.
She who writes the movie owns the script and the sequel.
So why ain't the stealing of my rights made illegal?
They keep us underground working hard for the greedy,
But when it's time pay they turn around and call us needy.
My crown too heavy like the Queen Nefertiti
Gimme back my pyramid, I'm trying to free Kansas City.
Mixing masterminds like your name Bernie Grundman.
Well I'm gonna keep leading like a young Harriet Tubman
You can take my wings but I'm still goin' fly
And even when you edit me the booty don't lie
Yeah, keep singing and I'mma keep writing songs
I'm tired of Marvin asking me, "What's Going On?
March to the streets 'cuz I'm willing and I'm able
Categorize me, I defy every label
And while you're selling dope, we're gonna keep selling hope
We rising up now, you gotta deal you gotta cope
Will you be electric sheep?
Electric ladies, will you sleep?
Or will you preach?"

Ps. If you missed; I sat down with Ms Monáe some year ago, I had to work to get a hint of the woman behind the artist from what I remember.

Right there it is - that thing in Janelle Monae's artistery we want more of!

Christopher Bosh In The Multiverse

Adventures of Christopher Bosh in the Multiverse! from Borscht Corp. on Vimeo.

Good Morning with the Adventures of Christopher Bosh in the Multiverse!!!

PS. from the Wolfman:

The Wolfman had this to say about the project:

"WHAT UP MORTAL JOURNALIST. Bosh and I are linked eternally. When I was raised from a puppy by Bosh's grandfather he sliced me with ancient star blade of his family. In doing so, he has forever linked me to his kin. So, it's always good to see him. Mike Miller is a great dude. Very polite. Didn't even get all mad about how I possessed his body and stuff. I really can't take too much credit for the 3's. Most of that was Mr. Miller. He has that inside of him-always. Now that I'm a spirit- I just kind of go around giving sage advice and resurrecting people and stuff."

Style Moments 1992

My big bru Apollo has told me about the early 90's in Paris, when he used to dance with Army Of Lovers in the middle of their heyday. La Camilla was the amazon and Jean Paul just as Thierry Mugler were both amazed by her whole appearance! Apollo told me Camilla's dress was so tight so she couldn't do a proper catwalk wich instead lead to JPG finding this dog and turned it to a dogwalk (nifty huh!). The whole Gaultier show from 1992 was inspired by Jaque Tati's film "Mon Oncle"!

THE SOUNDTRACK TODAY: Jassie Ware got something new " Imagine it Was Us" - this one will be spinning over here during the spring, it's def so my type of jam! Listen to this while checking out videos below!

RZA is the only collaborator on James Blake's "Overgrown" album, genius move! "Take A Fall For Me" was performed at Choachella, I just wish they've made it less rap concert and more theater performance for once, cause it's such noble song. Nabil's video for "Overgrown" was really good, I bet you've already seen it.

My favorite video right now is this amazingly beautiful piece, Ian Isiah featuring the one and only Boy Child by director Mitch Moore!

And then boom there comes Ciara with a new good one "Body Party" which picks a piece from one of my long time favorite Summer Anthems: Ghost Town DJ's "My Boo". Can't go wrong! The most twisted thing about this is that the vixen, or call him the hunk of the video looks like my boyfriend I had around the time when "My Boo" was out!

PS. Also take some time an analyze the "sexiness" of Ian vs. Ciara's videos

It Is Laced In The Very Language

Decidastyle — Sun, 21 Apr 2013 09:34:20 +0000

I'll try again then. Here we go:

1. Why I only fuck with Street Culture / Pop Culture / NEW Culture? One example, Noam Chomsky says "racism is so prevalent in academia that it is laced in the very language used by teachers and professors." (Well that goes for sexism too and all old weird fucked up traditions of oppression)

2. Jonas Hassen Khemiris letter to our Minister of Injustice Beatrice Ask is now published on New York Times for the whole world to read. The 2FACED1s knew that would happen sooner or later. One of the main purposes with the net-nativeness and popcultural context for 2FACED1 is the wish that through transnational connections take/share knowledge and support from all over the world, global to local and the other way around. This is also why I always rant about how important Internet-rights are for progressive minds to be able to create new culture. I take for granted that this article will fuel the debate about what's REALLY going on in Sweden 2013 cause we have a problem. (And I wonder what Barack Obama would say to Beatrice Ask if they would meet?)

3. We miss the Gypsy but she's soon back from her mega trip to then again share pieces of her magnificiant brain with us others.

4. More guys in black lipstick please

5. Stay tuned

6. Sunday angst who me?

7. The Style of the Decida Style! Harvey Nichols teams up with Jazzie B of Soul II Soul: The Funky Dread Label. This is a must have!

Therefor the soundtrack also will be "Keep On Movin" cause that is all we can do.

Why I only fucks with Street Culture / Pop Culture / NEW Culture?
