Woodstock: New Sean Kingston ft. Lil Wayne
-
Artist:
Above: Sean Kingston gets the "Adele Treatment" on the cover of his debut album, i.e., his head is featured prominently in promotional material to distract from the simple fact that he is, well, fat. Sean Kingston continues to be randomly infectious, and the ubiquitous Lil Wayne continues to make a guest appearance on every rap song [...]

New Lil Wayne!!!: Prom Queen
Check out the new single from Lil Wayne, Prom Queen, from his upcoming rock album, “Rebirth”, slated to drop April 7, 2009. We like it: we’re not sure we can handle too much rock-infused Weezy (that’s also to say we like hip-hop Weezy much, much more) but its sounding kind of cool. What u thinkkkk??Prom [...]

BBC’S acts to watch in 2009
In December, as 2008 drew to a close (it already seems so long ago!) BBC released a list of the 15 “best rising music stars” poised to splash big time in 2009. A lot of these artists were staples in our 2008: Passion Pit, Lady Gaga, Kid Cudi, Little Boots. But we didn’t know [...]

Linus’ Blue Blanket: Never Had Nobdoy Like You from M. Ward ft. Zooey and Zooey Deschanel
This new ditty is from M.Ward’s upcoming album “Hold Time” dropping February 17, 2009. You can stream the entire new album over at NPR Music; we gave it a quick listen (we kind of want to wait for the album to actually come out to give it our full attention) but it’s sound really great [...]

Sally’s Alley: Acoustic Ting Tings’ Cover
-
Artist:
We know that if Sally was here, she would be professing her love for the Ting Ting's most recent rendition of Great DJ. I mean, how could she not? The voices and instrumentals take an interesting twist, but the song retains the catchy-ness that all made us fall in love with the song to begin [...]

Woodstock: A Fun Song by “Weezy”
-
Artist:
Here is a song by Lil' Wayne that we really adore. Everyone seems to have heard it before, but we just recently became familiar with it and we HEART it. It was hard to find (we had to rip it from youtube) so maybe it's a little obscure? We're trying to maintain what little street [...]

Sally’s Alley: live Lykke Li, in a taxi
Please check out this clip… it’s simply amazing! Swedish sweetheart Lykke Li (despite the fact that she pronounces her name for us in the clip, we still have no idea how to say her name!) quickly croons her little ditty I’m Good, I’m Gone for a camera in the back of a taxi, and her [...]

Check it out, less for the [...]

Sally’s Alley: New Zooey by proxy of “Manchausen by Proxy”.
We apologize for the poor quality of this picture, but we took it! We happened to catch Zooey Deschanel in concert with her partner, M.Ward, in the form of She & Him. Now, however, Zooey takes part in another band, “Manchausen by Proxy”. You may have heard her sing it in the movie Yes Man, [...]

New Kelly Clarkson!!! My Life Would Suck Without You
-
Artist:
The new single from Ms. Kelly Clarkson is finally here! As the single's cover art above might suggest, this single marks a return to her so-called pop roots of the Since U Been Gone era (Clive Davis always gets his way!) and it's sounding really great. We've only listened to the full track a couple [...]

Track:Wachadoin? ft. M.I.A, Santogold, Spank Rock
Check it out!! People have been buzzing about N.A.S.A. for a few months now, and we're starting to get the impression this buzz is going absolutely nowhere! Check out a new track off their debut album, "The Spirit of Apollo". The jam is called Wachadoin?, featuring guest spots from M.I.A., Santogold, and Spank Rock. It's [...]

New Peter, Bjorn and John! - Nothing To Worry About
-
Artist:
Check out a new song from Swedish trio Peter, Bjorn and John (of Young Folks fame) courtesy of Kanye West's blog (???). It's presumably called Nothing To Worry About and it's a pretty poppy affair…we like it! It's chorus kind of reminds us of Justice's D.A.N.C.E. ("Doing this thing, this type of thing" (?) vaguely [...]

Jay Z Coldplay = Viva La Hova

Artist:
Check out this project, it's incredibly awesome. You've all probably heard Jay-Z and Coldplay's collabo on the Lost remix by now, but this mixtape, brought to you by Mick Boogie, Terry Urban and a handful of other producers they recruited, takes it to a whole new level. The "Viva La Hova" mixtape features 19 mash-ups between [...]

Artist:
-
Track:Bad Girl
Here's another demo to leak from our gurllll Rihanna. Our expert ears tell us this time, however, that Rihanna actually lent vocals for the track. The track's called Bad Girl, and it's a feisty number rife with attitude (for instance, part of the chorus features a grizzly yell from Rihanna). It also features a nice [...]

Lucy’s 5 Cents: new Rihanna demo - Emergency Room
-
Artist:
Check out a new demo that surfaced a few weeks ago from our girl Riri. Our expert ears tell us that this track doesn't actually have vocals provided by Rihanna (or Akon for that matter!) but there's no doubt that this song was written for her — only Rihanna could pull of the nasal flutter/swagger [...]
