As in, I wonder whatever happened to The Oneders?And no, “That Thing You Do,” though an actual one hit wonder from the 90’s and one of the my favorite songs from the decade, will not be on my list. Considering that it’s original music from a film and is performed by a fictional band, I’m [...]

A 48 minute documentary about the making of Bat For Lashes latest album, Two Suns (circa Top 10 Albums of 2009) is streaming in its entirety for one week only (starting yesterday) at Pitchfork TV. The film, Two Plus Two, is separated into 6 segments; Landscapes, The Desert, The City, Balance, and The Journey. It [...]

After promising a friend and Lady Gaga worshipper that she would tour this fall with or without Kanye, and feeling partially responsible for his actions as a constant defender of his doucheness (thanks for embarrassing me again, fishsticks), I am relieved to hear the news that Gaga will in fact hit the road on the [...]

Remember that time when Kuduro was my new favorite genre? Yeah well, it’s still that time.DJ Killamu, the Rengal Beat Maker, is releasing his own solo record on Akwaaba, the label that brought you that awesome Kuduro Compilation. Above is the video for his track, “Nao Maya,” which will appear on his soon to be [...]

Grizzly Bear bassist/producer Chris Taylor (CANT) released his debut solo single, “Ghosts,” today on his own label, Terrible Records. Taylor’s lullaby ready voice, better known as a back-up, makes for a very engaging lead. Musically, it would be impossible not to draw comparisons to Grizzly Bear, especially the washed out production style (Taylor produced the [...]

My favorite track from the new Black Eyed Peas album, The E.N.D. (yes, I have one of those), gets a new Fergalicious video that’s actually pretty good? Fergie’s hanging out at the borderline waiting for her other Peas, who are walking through the desert and on the moon with elephants and floating by the [...]

It’s literally been months since the internet first heard live performances of “Soldier,” the kinda wacky collaboration between N.E.R.D. and Santigold (who really needs to get going with that inevitable sophomore). The official recorded track finally leaked, and further proves N.E.R.D.’s ability to mesh all genres, creating a clusterkiss of punk and reggae that reminds [...]

Buraka Som Sistema’s new single keeps with the band’s Kuduro influenced style, but has a slightly more accessible cross-overy house sound (due mostly in part to its Moby-ish, English language hook, “Tell me if it’s real or should I let you go”). “Restless” will be available tomorrow on iTunes, and so far doesn’t have a [...]

Though I gave up on SNL sometime around Norm MacDonald leaving Weekend Update, I luckily still have the luxury of watching the musical performances on Youtube during the interim of being posted and getting deleted for copyright infringement. Above, this weekend’s guest, the lovely Regina Spektor, performs “Eet” on a seriously grand piano with a [...]

The New Moon Soundtrack is leaking all over the internet, and not only is it smelling like one of my favorite albums of the year, but it’s likely the best soundtrack to come out since…that other soundtrack with incredible exclusive tracks by Grizzly Bear and Bon Iver and Thom Yorke. You know, the soundtrack for [...]

Keith Caputo just wants to have fun.The Life of Agony frontman has spent the majority of the last decade on his solo work, which bares little to no resemblance to his Brooklyn based 90’s metal band (who recently announced a one night only performance of their 1993 debut, River Runs Red). His latest release, the [...]

The Boss closed out Giants Stadium last night with one final performance of his beloved Tom Waits cover. Down the shore everything’s alright. Sha la la.

As of yesterday, French actress and singer Charlotte Gainsbourg is offering up new track, “IRM,” as a free download on her website. I finally got around to listening to the intriguingly short, Beck-heavy track (he co-wrote and produced her entire new album), which appropriately references The White Album’s “Glass Onion.” The self-aware, psychedelic mindf*ck is [...]

You may remember that Awkwaaba Music Kuduro compilation that I posted about not too long ago (if not, here’s a reminder and here go get it). Mad Decent helped put together a remix contest for Figura’s track, “Ze Bula,” that resulted in a ton of submissions. Akwaaba recently announced the winning tracks from all over [...]

Here’s the 5th of 6 takes of John Lennon’s song, “Real Love,” recorded in July of 1980, though I think take 4 was the one used for the Beatles Anthology version in 1995. One of my favorite anythings.

Let me stand next to your Lupe.This is being rumored as a musical response to MTV’s recent Hottest MCs in the Game 2009 List that’s left many in the hip hop community kind of unhappy (including #1, Jay-Z). Lupe Fiasco samples Jimi Hendrix’s “Fire” for a track of the same name, which will reportedly not [...]

I find this 60 second version of Grand’s instrumental track, “Cinders,” to be an odd choice for video by Brooklyn based duo Matt & Kim. Still, another cute video to add to their library of cuteness.
