I know this already happened 2 blog days ago, but I felt the need to announce Weezer’s My Poproks Award for the Worst Album Name/Cover of All Time. I’d love to say the music was going to make up for it, but so far I can only sort of promise that.Congratulations Raditude.Theabsoluteworst.

My Poproks is ever-so-subtly switching gears to the West Coast, and with that comes some random info on LA shows (formally known as random info on NYC shows).I got my trusty iLike email alerting me to Buraka Som Sistema’s upcoming events near me, including HARD’s Haunted Mansion Halloween Party on October 31 (which falls on [...]

Oh hai Massive Attack.TV on the Radio’s Tunde Adebimpe offers his vocals on a new Massive Attack song, and it’s probably a lot like what you’re imagining. “Pray for Rain” is from the band’s upcoming 4 track EP, Splitting the Atom, their first release since 2003’s 100th Window.

Hip hop’s favorite hipster knocked up the internets this weekend with the third single off of his upcoming debut, Man on the Moon: The End of Day. Kid Cudi’s new track, “Pursuit of Happiness,” features MGMT and Ratatat, and the latter’s signature sounds are all over this track like [white on rice analogy].Mr. Mescudi’s debut [...]

Another interesting contribution to the world of music from Beck’s [Awesome Live Covers] Record Club, Leonard Cohen’s “Suzanne” with Devendra Banhart, and members of MGMT, Wolfmother, and Little Joy. Keeping with the Velvet Underground covers, there were no pre-session rehearsals for this recording.The most interesting part of the post on the Record Club site is [...]

Why?Why Why?Why?Right, so Beatlemania 2009 is hitting, which is awesome (I really enjoyed Beatlemania 1995, which if you remember featured the 9 hour Anthology documentary, 2 new songs, and my life changing forever). Beatles Rock Band games, reissues, and magazine covers? All great things. But Entertainment Weekly’s special Beatles issue thingy? All around FAIL.There’s a [...]

My Poproks based out of Brooklyn is in the process of becoming My Poproks based out of LA, so apologies for the lack of posting this week while I prepare to skip the whole fall/winter thing and become a semi-professional surfer chick.About this new Rhapsody commercial: I’ll admit, I wasn’t sure what was going on [...]

Money, money and the cars, cars and the clothes, [THE HOES(?)]. Ugh, radio edit. What’s wrong with hoes, really? I just wanna be successful.One of my favorite tracks from Drake’s So Far Gone gets a new video starring Trey Songz pretty promonently, as the song will be featured on his upcoming album, Ready, out tomorrow.Drake [...]

When Beyonce’s “Sweet Dreams” video came out, I forwarded it to my friends and asked them if it sounded a lot like “Beat It” or if I had just been listening to too much Michael Jackson. They said it was just the MJ overload talking, but ArielXoneFm on Youtube helped me convince myself I wasn’t [...]

It’s Britney, Bitch?As a swarm of adoring fans slowly filled Madison Square Garden last night for Britney Spears’ final New York Circus show, I found myself getting intensely excited for what has been getting hailed as Britney’s big “come back.” As someone who ranks the local stop of the Oops…I Did it Again Tour as [...]

No Age is offering up a free download of “You’re a Target,” the closing track off of their latest EP, Losing Feeling. The band’s distinctive noise-pop seems a bit more intricate this time around, with more layers of guitars and a bit of a darker undertone than anything on Nouns. Losing Feeling is streaming in [...]

Jay-Z dons more all black everything on the new cover of XXL…“We’re not talking about respect what I’ve done. I’m talking No. 1 [albums] 10 times. The Beatles is the only one [to have more No. 1 albums]. They got 19, and if I get a surge of creativity, I could make nine albums next [...]

Remember Mellowdrone?Chances are likely that you don’t. After a handful of independently released (and very good) EP’s and the proverbial “failed major label debut,” the band had virtually disappeared aside from some local performances in their native LA. After recovering from the end of their Columbia deal and a nasty car accident, Mellowdrone are finally [...]

Any excuse to blog about this record is so very welcomed.Nir Ben Jacob directed video for The Walkmen’s “On the Water” totally doesn’t have a happy ending. At all. Since I’ve spoiled that, I can say that the gunshot of bright confetti over the dark blues and blacks of this tragic animated clip, synchronized to [...]

Regina Spektor played a special free show last night at Barnes & Noble in NYC’s Union Square, and a handful of fairly decent videos went up on Youtube about 5 seconds after it ended. The internet is so efficient. I’ve heard a lot of great things about Regina Spektor’s flawless live show, but have yet [...]

To answer your question, no. This is not funny. But it’s commendable.“A” for effort, Britney, and, for #2.

Antony & The Johnsons completely transform Beyonce’s “Crazy in Love,” somehow, into what sounds like a haunting Antony Hegarty original (even with lines like “kinda hoping you page me right now”). The track serves as the b-side for The Crying Light’s “Aeon,” and the equally haunting video features footage by LA artist and filmmaker James [...]

I think HEALTH’s newest track, “We Are Water,” from their upcoming sophomore album, Get Color, is pretty interesting to say the least (prefer “Die Slow”). However, neither are as interesting as the new sweepstakes that they announced for the album’s release. Every code in the pyramid above represents a ticket that can be found in [...]

I think I prefer the unreleased “Mickey Mouse” to the two new Wavves tracks that have surfaced in the last few days via Nathan Williams’ Ghost Ramp blog. The Wavves frontman’s new music with drummer Zach Hill has yet to trump anything on his debut. However, Williams assures that the live video he posted of [...]
