VIDEO: CHARLEE DREW - SOMEBODY ELSE

Earlier this week Charlee Drew premiered the music video for his latest single 'Somebody Else' on YouTube, and is also available to download for FREE from Charlee's website. Charlee Drew is an artist we have grown particularly fond of, especially since he is also based in Leicester like us, so we like to show as much support as we can. Some of you may recall us writing an entry on Charlee Drew earlier in 2012 following the release of his EP - 'You Did Me a Favour'. Anyway, this one's an equally as good single and it features a guest appearance from Coronation Street actress Sacha Parkinson. There's been a lot of positive feedback flying about on social media for this one so give it a spin, it's called 'Somebody Else'.

ATTIRE: ALL ROUND CLOTHING

All Round Clothing are a fantastic, up-and-coming label that is said to 'draw inspiration from the quintessentially British, as well as unique takes on pop culture and modern design'. The name 'All Round' challenges people to be original and not to buy into the 'rectangles and triangles' culture that has swept the fashion world. The brand fundamentally aims to oppose the contemporary hype culture in modern fashion, but do so in a purposeful manner through their finely crafted garments. 

The mark of a great brand always lies in a great ethos, and this is evident in All Round's commitment to donating a portion of their earnings generated from their 'Handmade Squirrel' garments to The Nature Trust, to help protect Red Squirrels that are native to Britain. And if that isn't enough, well you'll know you're doing your bit when you find out that All Round's rope tied hand tags are made from 100% recycled card. Check out their model campaign for the brand, and reach out to their website and Twitter too when you've got time.

VIDEO: AMPLIFY DOT - KURT COBAIN

Here we have an absolutely huge anthem by UK female rapper Amplify Dot (or A Dot for short), it goes by the title of 'Kurt Cobain', and it's basically about 'living fast' like the song's namesake. We actually came across this single a couple of weeks back on our favourite radio station, BBC Radio 1 and instantly took note so we could try and eventually put together a post when the video appeared. The video dropped a couple of days ago, and it's already been getting people talking on the Twittersphere and gathering sizeable momentum and praise. If you don't know about Amplify Dot, give this one a spin - it's got a lot of potential to be a soundtrack to Summer 2013. At a time when female lyricists seem to be prospering, what better time for the UK to make its mark, hey? Watch this space...

• 'Kurt Cobain' is out 28 April

VIDEO: A$AP ROCKY - WILD FOR THE NIGHT [FEAT. SKRILLEX & BIRDY NAM NAM]

After A$AP Rocky revealed earlier last week on his Twitter page that the video for his upcoming single 'Wild for the Night' taken from his latest album Long.Live.A$AP was to be released on Monday of this week, the Twittersphere was left in deep anticipation of the track, which features a distinctive touch from fellow compatriot Skrillex and the chopped-and-screwed vocals of French DJs Birdy Nam Nam. A$AP Rocky uses a shanty town within the Dominican Republic as the stomping ground for this crazy visual which features everything from kids with guns to the boys cruising through the slums on mopeds. Pretty crazy misbehavior going on here, but it's nothing out of character really now is it...

• Wild for the Night and Long.Live.A$AP, the latest album by A$AP Rocky, are both out now.

ARCHITECTURE: WANANGKURA STADIUM BY ARM ARCHITECTURE

We've realised we don't do enough posts on architecture these days, and as we came across this flamboyant building we decided that it was worthy of an entry on the blog. This is a piece of architecture situated in the remote town of Port Hedland situated within the Western Australia region. It was given the name 'Wanangkura' which quite literally translates in English to 'Whirlwind', a term dervived from the aboriginal native Kariyarra language. The building which was designed by Australian-based firm ARM Architecture, and provides an eccentric touch to the Australian outback providing sports facilities to the local community and sports clubs, and utilizes adaptive technology which allows the building to withstand hazardous cyclonic conditions. The design of the Wanangkura Stadium is said to mimic the aesthetic of a desert mirage with its 'shimmering, rippling effect' on the semi-arid landscape - as quoted from ARM Architect Sophie Cleland.
