Art Whiplash - Party, sex and bullshit
-
Artist:
In the vein of Justice, Art Whiplash brings a heavily electronicized sound with the single Party, Sex and Bullshit. The similarities to Justice don't end with the fact that they are both French. Party, Sex and Bullshit shares that deep bass heavy synth Justice is so fond of. The song has already developed enough of a following to prompt several remixes, all of which are conveniently laid out...

Fiction 20 Down – Welcome to The Grassroots
When I heard Fiction 20 Down describe themselves as a ‘college rock’ band, I thought I was in for another pale Jack Johnson imitation. Sure their music is comparable to a Johnson or Donavon Frankenreiter, simply because they create an acoustic sound. However, a quick listen to Welcome to the Grassroots reveals two key differences. One they are a full band and as a result offer a more robust

The Cataracs - Julia
-
Artist:
-
Album:Lingerie
-
Track:Julia
The Cataracs have been making somewhat of a splash recently with appearances on VH1 and MTVU. This is presumably due to their infectious elecro-synth-pop. I must admit they do a good job of making dance music appeal to the masses. Check out their newest video for Julia below.

Album:

Track:
TMDP's electronic disco hit Running is the latest piece to receive a workover courtesy of DJ Barletta. As everyone knows you can never have enough beats to groove to on the dance floor. TMDP's original provides just that, while Dj Barletta delivers a more electronic feel to the song. You really cant go wrong with either version, it just depends on how much synth you like. Check out both ver...

Christina Aguilera - Keeps Gettin Better
-
Artist:
-
Album:Keeps Gettin Better
-

Keeps Gettin' Better is a greatest hits compilation of Christina Aguilera's most popular tracks over the years. It features such classics as "What a girl wants" and "Dirrty", two new songs including the title track and "Dynamite", and two reprises of "Beautiful" and "Genie in a Bottle". Most of the tracks are old news, so unless you are a die-hard Christina fan, it's probably just a waste of your

Britney Spears -Kill the Lights

Artist:
-
Album:
-
Track:
With the release date for Circus, Britney's sixth studio album, steadily approaching, all eyes are on Britney. "Womanizer", the first track leaked from the album, has quickly become a number one hit, and her first since her debut, Hit Me Baby... One More Time. I'll admit that the first time I heard "Womanizer" I found it to be a bit cheesy, but it slowly grew on me just like most of her previ...

Q-Tip – The Renaissance
-
Artist:
-
Album:
Some say that Q-Tip got his name from his home in Queens, other say it's his ability to stick on your ear, or perhaps it's a bit of both. Regardless, Q-Tip is a veritable hip-hop pioneer. His work with A Tribe Called Quest is some of the finest in the field, not to mention his influencing of rappers like Jay-Z, Kanye, Mos Def, and Talib Kweli. He's also been doing his thing behind the scenes, w...

Jeezy and Nas - My President

Artist:
-
Track:My President
Hot on the trails of Nas's election day comes a collaboration with Jeezy titled My President. I guess this means the feud between them, started in the aftermath of Nas' album Hip-Hop is Dead, is officially squashed. Looks like Obama is already mending some fences.

I love the feeling you get from listening to twee pop. It's something like sunshine flooding your veins mixed with the satisfaction of eating a bowl of ice cream.

VOTE VOTE VOTE SERIOUSLY GO VOTE VOTE VOTE
Yeah so I just voted in my first ever presidential election and it was pretty sweet. I decided against the absentee ballot so I ended up in a crowded school gymnasium with some old people giving me the stink eye, like I was trying to see who they voted for. But hey at least they had donuts and cookies, perks of the process I suppose. Point is, even though I love increasing my web traffic mor

Dan Black - Yours
Dan Black's highly addictive Yours finally has some visual stimuli to accompany it. That would of course be courtesy of a highly entertaining music video featuring, balloons and dudes tethered to a ceiling. It looks like a good time if you ask me.

Led Zeppelin Reunion Tour?
Apparently Led Zeppelin is adamant about, not only a reunion tour, but also a new album, which they are willing to do with or without front man Robert Plant, who will be preoccupied with his massive tour with Alison Krauss. They have already began the search and interviewed prospective replacements for the rock god. Good thing I am not the only who thinks this is a terrible idea. Promoter Harv...
