Death Cab For Cutie have left me feeling pretty flat since 2003’s Transatlanticism. With a couple of mediocre major label records, the made-for-indie indie band is actually back on my radar with their contribution to the infamous New Moon soundtrack, “Everything Ends.” The video doesn’t do much for me (lots of slow-mo’ shots of Kristen [...]

Grizzly Bear recently performed some songs for Pitchfork TV’s “Cemetery Gates” in a chapel in the middle of a graveyard in Brooklyn.While that settles in, check out the above video of “Fix It,” a song from the band’s 2004 debut, Horn of Plenty. The best band of the year also cranked out incredible renditions of [...]

DJ Hero, this video game thing, announced the full tracklisting for their Rock Band-ish dance hip hop…thing. I’m not one for video games, and while I would never spend $120 for fake turntables and pre-recorded mash-ups, take a gander at this list and tell me you don’t kinda want this.2Pac – “All Eyez On Me” [...]

Thought these were pretty cool and kind of wish there was some sort of combination of the two. I would wear it everyday. These Mad Decent t-shirts playing on the Major Lazer album title (Guns Don’t Kill People, Lazers Do) are limited edition and on sale today only.

Thom Yorke decided to welcome me to the West Coast by announcing completely unexpected solo shows in Los Angeles within a month of my move. After an easy fight with Ticketmaster (one that paled in comparison to the Echoplex Ticketweb meltdown), I managed a couple of “paperless” tickets that actually aren’t paperless and don’t get [...]

Even though it’s not on his new(old) album, Kamaal/The Abstract (recently released on Arista, but recorded in 2001), Q-Tip made a video for “Life is Better,” a funkalicious (yes, I said “funkalicious”) track featuring Norah Jones from 2008’s The Renaissance. The clip was directed by Sebastian Kaufman (TVOTR, Bravery, etc.), and is good.

Here comes the feeling you thought you’d forgotten…hearing new Vampire Weekend.The band’s signature afro-indie-with-a-string-section sound is still very much intact, and “Horchata” proves another solid VW offering with strong international influences and catchy catchy popness. I also taste a splash of Discovery, perhaps left over from Rostam Batmanglij’s electronic side project. The tr

This will get taken down, but I will find it again. I promise. Full SNL episode here.All hail Lady Gaga.My Gagaroks.

We want the good bits, without the bullsh*t.Thom Yorke’s not-so-secret set last night at that very sold out Echoplex gig included all of Eraser in track order, four new solo songs, and Radiohead b-side “Paperbag Writer.” You can watch video of one of the new ones, “Open the Floodgates,” above, as well as a ton [...]

Remember that “rehearsal” solo show tonight at Echoplex in LA that Thom Yorke announced less than a day ago on Dead Air Space? I think it killed the internet.Oh, and in case you were wondering, this event is sold out.

“I was raised outta steel here in the swamps of Jersey.” Yeah you effing were.The Boss opened up his 5 night stint at Giants Stadium Wednesday night with a new song, “Wrecking Ball,” an ode to the soon to be demolished New Jersey sports arena. Though cut off at the end, the video is professionally [...]

I moved to the beach and I learned that love is like a sunset. However, Phoenix had already taught me that.While there have been too many Phoenix remixes to keep track of in 2k9, Animal Collective’s new one of the instrumental Amadeus track, “Love Like a Sunset,” has been the first in a while to [...]

The Sunny Day Real Estate reunion tour isn’t as big of a deal to me as it [maybe] should be. I’m a fan of Diary, but never took it to cult like many fans I know (one of whom apparently being Jimmy Fallon). However, the band did an awesome performance of album highlight, “Seven,” on [...]

The above video for “I Gotta Feeling” was filmed in one take by 170 something students at UQAM. It is entirely adorable, and makes the semi-annoying Black Eyed Peas song entirely adorable by association. I gotta feeling that tonight’s gonna be a meme.

Despite being on G.O.O.D. for almost 3 years, having Kanye West as a production credit on almost every track, and being extremely talented, Consequence has somehow managed to not blow up. His sophomore record, Con TV, features the first single, “Whatever You Want.” His new Hype Williams directed video is above. Even Kid Cudi and [...]

The Swedish electronic band, Little Dragon, have a few things going for them. Besides being pretty good and having two critically acclaimed releases under their belt, they are also lucky enough to be the opening act for Thom Yorke’s two solo shows in LA this coming weekend (the ones with Flea on bass? Yeah, those).The [...]

Thom Yorke posted on Dead Air Space today about some shows in LA with his band he got together “for fun” on Oct. 4 and 5. The post, which has the headline, ??????, also mentioned something about Nigel Godrich and Flea.“Come check it out if you are in the area.” Yeah, just Thom Yorke randomly [...]

I had a lot of what I thought were false expectations for my first show in LA. I imagined some Hollywood celeb, let's say the dude from The Notebook, floating around in the crowd in a leather jacket and seeming to know almost everyone, occasionally taking a break from nodding along to the music to [...]

“It’s like being able to read somebody’s mind, but only finding out things you wish you didn’t know about.”Matt McCormick is a music video director who’s worked with both The Shins and Sleater-Kinney (here and here), which is likely where James Mercer and Carrie Brownstein come into play. Both star in McCormick’s feature debut, Some [...]
