MAG: OF MONSTERS AND MEN LIVE AT FUSE VEVO HOUSE

Icelandic group, Of Monsters And Men, who have made one of my favourite albums (ever), have been amongst the stand-out sets at Coachella this year – the best kind of festival music for me hands down. Here, at the Fuse VEVO House, they've recorded a live performance of the single "Mountain Sound". It's not exactly an acoustic version, considering their music is very much acoustic already, but let's call it a stripped down rendition, and it's expectedly very good. Oh and if anyone can tell me what on earth the drummer is doing, I'd appreciate it.

Coachella continues with the second weekend tonight and selected sets will again be viewable via the live YouTube streams. Definitely not to miss if you haven't caught the action yet, it's a great service.

MAG: LANA DEL REY NEW VIDEO SUMMER WINE

This is Lana Del Rey's new video, dropped in the last hour or so, for her version of Lee Hazlewood's "Summer Wine". The video is just beautiful, as she returns to her favoured homemade vintage style, and she looks stunning in every shot. That's her singer boyfriend, frontman of Cassidy (who I would kill to be right now) looking all loved up together. Urgh.

DIARY: DINNER AT DUCK AND WAFFLE

To celebrate my friend James' birthday, a group of us went to the fine restaurant that is Duck & Waffle in Bishopsgate. I was just expecting an expensive meal with good company, but it turns out that meal is not to be messed with.

Yes, it was expensive (we paid over £50 each) but it was quite simply amongst the best food I have ever eaten. And don't get me wrong, I do think that's a big statement. But the food was truly outstanding and I would have thought the same even without all the wine. I ordered a G&T cocktail at the bar as we waited for our table, its yuzu twist so on point, setting up what was to be an unforgettable evening of culinary delight. My main dish (who's name became the identity of the entire restaurant) was just exquisite. The combination of the fresh warm waffle, generous fried duck egg with the yolk perfect, served of course with the slow-roasted duck and a mustard maple syrup was so killer I couldn't stop grinning. The flavour and texture of the duck's superb balance of meat, fat and skin was extraordinary and nothing like anything I've tasted before. The phrase "melt in your mouth" was probably invented to describe this very dish.

Yeah that was an epic dinner. The restaurant's located on the 40th floor of Heron Tower, the lift ride in itself a great source of entertainment as we soar over the London skyline. And if you are acrophobic, I can guarantee that what you find at the top will be worth the ride. Man, happy birthday James.

BLOG: POLIÇA NEW SINGLE TIFF FEAT. JUSTIN VERNON

This band just made some sharp impact on me. With the news of their latest single featuring Justin Vernon, I've spent the last hour checking them out. And when I check something out, I'm like a fucking detective, especially when I'm so drawn.

A group formed in 2011, Minnesota, their debut material showcases gorgeous sounds of rich tone, rhythm and synths that I've grown to love so much in recent months. I instantly bought the first album "Give You The Ghost" on CD just now and I'm already excited for the second which is starting to build up as we speak, in preparation for a release later this year. But as mentioned (and embedded) above, they've collaborated with none other than Justin Vernon for the new track, who although may have called time on the Bon Iver project, is showing more musical extroversion than ever (what with his newly formed blues-infused group The Shouting Matches, whose debut album of their own came out only today).

Working with such talents speaks volumes alone, but the music is truly something amazing. It's not often I so quickly get this rush of excitement upon first listens. I watched their Coachella set too and they really are a quality artist, bursting with fresh ideas. You too can watch it, this the clip for their performance of "Amongster", track number one off the LP.

MAG: IRON MAN 3 TECHNOLOGY FEATURETTE

An exclusive featurette for Gizmodo called "Advancing The Tech", this promo gives an insight into Tony Stark's obsession for improving the Iron Man suits and it unveils some 42 working versions, and that's only at "the beginning of the movie". The film looks ridiculously entertaining and to hear Robert Downey Jr. state that this is the best possible Act III installment, I'm buzzing to watch this.

And watch this I shall, on none other than IMAX 3D, for one of the world's first showings at midnight next Thursday – oh and if that's not cool enough, the screening will be preceded by Avengers Assemble as well! How epic is that, a boy's dream.

MAG: CALVIN HARRIS I NEED YOUR LOVE OFFICIAL VIDEO

Calvin Harris making me very jealous in this new video for "I Need Your Love" featuring Ellie Goulding.

BLOG: ALT-J LIVE AT COACHELLA 2013

Proper quality from the stunning four-piece that is alt-J, performing their track "Breezeblocks" at the Mojave tent stage on the Friday. Great to see the place so enthusiastic and buzzing for the British band on day one of the dual weekend event.

I caught some other Brits doing their thing too, thanks to Coachella's official YouTube streaming service, including The xx, Bat For Lashes and Ben Howard last night. It's not easy to follow in UK time but I'm glad I did because we've been treated to some awesome sets. Tonight it's the turn of Jessie Ware and James Blake amongst others. I'm so feeling festival season!

DIARY: BOTTOM HALF FOR SPRINGTIME

The sun was out yesterday. I was wearing shirt and trousers from Uniqlo, Albam's Alpine Harrington jacket, Archie V by Grenson and the Victate Monogram Cardholder.

MAG: DRUMS BY SIMON PANRUCKER

An ingenious example of creative video editing by Simon Panrucker. I can only imagine how long this must have taken to complete, but it's a wonderfully fun idea that was definitely worth the time.

MAG: A DAY WITH 3SIXTEEN BY KELLEN DENGLER

New York brand 3Sixteen aim to make clothing and accessories to the highest standards possible, from materials to craftsmanship, utilising the best resources that America has to offer. This short video by Kellen Dengler follows the two gentlemen behind the company on a usual day of errands meeting friends, enjoying San Francisco and of course designing their goods. It's a lovely film and it portrays their lives as an idealistic one that you'd be lucky to have.

MAG: NIKE ROSHE RUN SUMMER 2013

From: Freshness

From: Hypebeast

The Roshe Run has been supremely popular of late and I myself have seen it climb up my wishlist. Nike have unveiled several new releases for the running sneaker, including the pictured Camo series up top, as well as a range of smart tonal colourways like the navy/gold combination and burgundy options. There are even more in the pipeline for Summer 2013, such as the City Pack, Flywire infusion and of course the eagerly awaited NikeiD customisation. Busy times for Roshe fans to say the least. I've been informed by good authority that it's a damn fine choice for lightweight comfort that your feet will be thankful for.

DIARY: OMELETTE LEGACY

We received this via text message the other day from one of the boys' mum, after he had spent three days with us camping. It read: "______'s first scrambled egg at home taught by Lee Coach! Yeah~~~!! Thanks!!" Now if that's not sweet, I don't know what is.

MAG: OBLIVION ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK BY M83

I'm looking forward to seeing the motion picture itself for sure, a new sci-fi epic starring Tom Cruise and Olga Kurylenko, but the soundtrack is to be something else. Having recruited Anthony Gonzalez of M83, the score promises to be original and I think it's a perfect match. I can't wait to experience it together with the visuals (which don't look half bad itself) for some exceptional cinema. The album is actually streaming in full right now and what a stunning array of sound.
