We have (a) band

“You stole our crowd!” That’s what we (Mathematikal) told these guys when we saw them in Rennes for the Transmusicales gig last year. They’re moving on going strong. Have a look at ‘You Came Out’ by We Have Band, directed by David Wilson and produced by Blinkink. Vimeo told us this.. “Shot over 2 days...

PB&J Sammich

Peter Bjorn & John have been smacking us in the face with their super-tunes since 2002, and their latest album, ‘Living Thing’, does not let them down. Their recent tracks ‘Nothing to worry about’ and ‘Lay it down’ are both brilliant, with their hot lyrics, groovy beats are everything that the boys are best known...

Samuel Fisher hiding in Malta

Yeah, for all you gamers following the scene lately, its no secret. Tom Clancy’s latest Splinter Cell installment, “Conviction”, will be partly based in Malta. For the benefit of our foreign readers – thats the island Fat Gold is based in. Malta is not depicted with the usual sunny beaches, and sun ‘n’ fun activities....

Darker was the night before Dark Was The Night

Dark Was the Night is a charity compilation album produced by Red Hot to raise funds and awareness for AIDS and HIV through pop culture. When I hear the words “compilation album” I automatically think of a lazy effort at something that should be treated with a lot more care. Thankfully The National’s Aaron and...

Wish I was Bullet proof

La Roux have this awesome track that I can’t just stop listening to. And there are some cool remixes out there too like Just a Band’s one. The good part of the 80′s are back and it seems its here to stay. by Jon Sterling

We be Thieving

I’ve been damn nervous about writing my first post, so here goes nothing. Cooped up in my stupid room revising for the upcoming exams is boring the crap out of me, so any music I can get my hands on that gets me all butterfly-ie for summer, is just what I need. That being said...

Its a girl! – The family is growing Part 3 (of 3)

A new week, a new face. Who doesn’t love Mondays? If you haven’t noticed by now, Fat Gold is all testosterone. That’s gonna change pretty much from now on. We found this pretty little creature wandering the streets one day dancing to Does it Offend You Yeah and bouncing to Bloc Party’s Banquet. It was love...

No you don`t have to go

Rave Pop is king. PONY PONY RUN RUN – HEY YOU Whoever follows our blog knows that we’re very much into music, from Guns to Michael to George Clinton to these guys above. And whoever reads our rants must know by now that Kenji is an awesome guitarist and I am half of Mathematikal. This...

Keep X Ray Potes

Keep has long been one of my favorite shoe companies. The Brazilian company recently did a collaboration of their shoe “The Homer” with San Francisco based photographer Ray Potes. Ray used photos taken in the jungles and on the beaches of Hawaii for the collaboration. Im such a sucker for simple shoe designs like these....

Episode Two

I’ve been following these dudes for over a year now, they’re sound is just so fresh. The Twelves are getting a lot of attention (finally!) these days and their remixes make you want to go to church and thank the BeJesus for Disco in 2009. Here’s the link for the awesome Mixtape Back to work on our Mixtape…...

P.A.M. X RetroSuperFuture

The new Perks and Mini x RetroSuperFuture sunnys are absolutely brilliant. It’s not too often that I see something on the internet and think to myself “hey… I’d trade an organ or two for these”. The two designs are available on the Super website and a few other online stores. Get yours before they’re gone...

Computer Portrait

On this day in 1968, the king of what we call Pop Art was shot and critically wounded in his New York studio called the ‘Factory’. Andy Warhol survived – barely. He needs no further introduction. After being a full-time advertisement illustrator, he turned his work into art and became famous for his ‘consumerism meets...
