it almost sounds too humorous to be true. but this man isn't one to fuck around.
the deadpan british actor sir michael caine will be releasing a chill-out compilation full of his own favorite mellow tracks handpicked from his own library. and he's calling it cained
apparently, according to gigwise, caine says he has made "thousands of tapes" compiled of such music.
i'm trying for the life of me to come up with a cool michael caine quote to match this story... any ideas?

"We got a friendly homecoming surprise last night in Atlanta when Lockett and I got robbed at gunpoint after our show at Lenny's last night. We literally had just walked off the stage and I was pretty wasted.
"I heard a commotion behind us but like I said I was pretty out of it. I just opened the door to the car and collapsed in the passenger seat. Then I heard all this yelling and I hear this loud metallic banging on the window and look up and there is a gun in my face and a guy yelling "get the fuck out the car man" I stumbled out and see the other guy has Lockett with his arms spread on the roof of his car and is patting him down.
"Lockett was begging them to leave me alone. The guy put his gun up to my temple and said, 'Give me EVERYTHING motherfucker I ain't fucking with you.' I just mumbled something and he put his hands in my pants and took everything I had. My cellphone, my wallet (empty except for credit/bank cards which Kristin immediately cancelled, and about 450 dollars in cash I had for my rent.) They also got all of Lockett's money. They even took my fucking Camel Ultralights and Orange Bic. All I can say is that I'm glad we are not dead."
just glad you guys are safe and sound. hope they find the cunts who robbed you!

the best in cheap'n'trendy
at last! [repost from the lovely shopgirl at atlanta magazine]...
"Well, it’s official: H&M finally signed its lease with Atlantic Station and is set to open there next spring. I’m imagining IKEA-like crowds and wondering if I just won’t wait for it all to die down before I go . . . but the temptation may be too great. Will you be able to resist?
H&M (Hennes & Mauritz) is long known for cheap chic styles and its collaborations with designers such as Stella McCartney, Madonna, and as of this fall, Roberto Cavalli. With shops in 28 countries, it’s crazy, in my opinion, that H&M is just now hitting Atlanta."
hurrah for the onslaught of cute, affordable rags - i'll be first in line!

spawn of outkast, future of atlanta music
if you haven't heard janelle monae yet, you'd best get to listenin'!
taking off where gnarls barkley and outkast just left off, her wicked sexed-up-by-prince, funkified-by-parliament, futurefied-by-daft-punk, retrofied-by-james-brown tunes are going to soon be stuff of atlanta music legend. i'm so all a-bout-it-bout-it.
janelle monae
now get that shit on your stereo.
