More Super Bowl stuff. Super Bowl <3’s good music (sans the obnoxiously safe post-boob halftime shows).Above is Jay-Z’s Super Bowl intro video, featuring a mash-up of Blueprint 3’s “Run This Town” and E.S. Posthumus’s NFL on CBS theme song, “Posthumus Zone.” I knew all those strings/power chords already had something to do with football.Pretty sure [...]

Super Bowl XLIV was totally indie. Arcade Fire’s “Wake Up” was in an official NFL spot, with all of the licensing proceeds going to Partners in Health. I spent Super Bowl Sunday at Disneyland (Mickey > Football), but that commercial is pretty awesome. Almost makes me want to watch football. Almost.You can check [...]

Ra Ra Riot performed The Rhumb Line’s “Dying is Fine” for Ohio’s CD101 this past September, but the video was just posted up last week. Even though I’d love to hear a new full length from these guys, this is enough to hold me over. Still revisiting this one every few months or so. It’s [...]

I was clicking around Delta Mirror’s Myspace and came across Franco Near Death, an unsigned LA based band with a handful of solid tracks on their player. About a year ago, the band told Radio Free Silver Lake that they were working on a new record, but, from the looks of it, they seem to [...]

Massive Attack premiered the “Splitting The Atom“ video today, the first from their upcoming full length, Heligoland. The futuristic, super sexy, computer animated video, directed by Edouard Salier, is pretty stunning. The super sexy record is due Febraury 9, unless you already won yours from My Poproks.

Michel Gondry is back in the music video business. Hard.Spent the other night watching Capitol’s Best of Radiohead videos DVD, and was reminded of how interesting/funny/disturbing/charming Gondry’s “Knives Out” was (and every other video he’s done, for that matter). It’s been a couple of years now since he’s done any ‘official’ vids, but, above, he [...]

Kanye is breaking the keyboard on his Macbook Air again. CAPS LOCK IS LOAD. Welcome back, ‘Ye.WHEN IT’S ALL SAID AND DONE, REMEMBER THE FEARLESS, REMEMBER THE DREAMERS, REMEMBER THOSE WHO REPRESENT THE GHETTO…THE FAIRY TALE OF NOTHING TO SOMETHING. I’M BRIEFLY SADDENED BY NEGATIVE COMMENTS, BUT I HAVE TO REMEMBER THOSE PEOPLE ARE SCARED, [...]

Photographer/director/musician Michael Sterling Eaton’s upcoming release, Mictape Vol. 1, will feature tracks with Curren$y, The Cool Kids, and Mos Def. Guessing the above clip of “White Drapes” was directed by Eaton. Not sure of the release date on this, but the 1 minute and 30 second preview has been enough to add it to my [...]

The Dears’ Murray Lightburn told My Poproks in 2008 that they “didn’t give a crap about ‘indie’” or “sh*t bins at the record shop.” The band’s disregard for being one of the cool kids has kept their music painfully honest through the years, and is by far their most endearing quality.The Montreal band recently visited [...]

I’m on that Disney sh*t. Goofy flow.A-Trak’s “Loonies to Blow,” a remix of Drake’s “Money to Blow,” showed up last night on Drizzy’s blog. ‘Loonies’ in the title is a play on the name of a one dollar coin in Canada, where Drake and A-Trak are both from. The remix will be featured on A-Trak’s [...]
