No doubt, Serge Gainsbourg was one of the coolest motherfuckers of the 20th century. Besides shagging all major European top ladies from Brigitte Bardot to Jane Birkin in the 1960s and 70s he released some of the most outstanding records that still sound fresh and inspiring today. Think of the “The Histoire Of Melody Nelson” album, or the dopest beat from the 1960s in the proto-rap anthem “Requiem Pour Un Con”, or his collaboration with Sly & Robbie on “Aux Armes Et Cetera” (check the dub album!).

M.I.A. send us the link to a new track she did with Blaqstarr – a cover version of the legendary opening song to the U.S. series “The Wire”. Originally sung by Tom Waits, Blaqstarr and M.I.A. did a club friendly version, alongside the cheapest video ever made (still it´s good).

3rd Bass, one of the 2nd generation of Def Jam artists, did a cool version of the Tom Waits song back in 1991. It´s called “Soul In The Hole” and you can download it from here:
