Pop Up Swap drew over 1,300 people, and this weekend's event is sizing up to be just as bananas. Flav.

After a most amazing [read=quite possibly best of my blogging life] weekend, we've got a rejuvenated pep in our step and feel like we're floating on an energized cloud of radness right now. So when we got a quick hit on the almighty twitter, from Aussie newcomers, Kids At Midnight, we decided to pay it forward. Oh, and the song is quite excellent too!KAM are Jane and Richard, a duo ...

You may have noticed a lot of poppier music coming out of Camp Beaston lately. And you know what, we're going to continue on with it, seeing as how the fall of 2009 seems to be driven by the ladies who are redefining the genre with new albums, tightly produced videos and, well, then there's Britney.But for now, we've got another majorly theatrical and super emotional video from the queen of r&b...

This might be one of the first indirectly non-music related post titles here, but never fear, cause we can tie it in a la "six degrees of Kevin Bacon" style. Actually, it only takes ONE degree. Tim Burton directed the music video for The Killers' 2006 song, Bones. Ta-dah!Ever since we caught wind that visionary cinematographer, director, and all around mad genius, Tim Burton, would be exhibitin...

Last month, we caught Swedish songbird, Jenny Wilson, during CMJ at The Fader Fort. Sadly, I somehow lost the pictures from her set, but never fear, because trusted buddy boy, Anthony, has the goods and some kind words about Ms. Wilson over here.With that having been Wilson's debut NYC performance, our love for her, along with her finely crafted songs, was renewed, and we've had her latest albu...

Whoa! It's our unfortunate duty to tell you that Bad Lieutenant has had to cancel their upcoming US tour due to visa and immigration laws. Sadcakes!Which brings us to the news surrounding our ticket giveaway we were hosting. We were giving away a set of tickets to both the NYC and Chicago performances, but as there is no show, alas there are no tickets.GOOD NEWS though! We are still honoring al...

Kissy Sell Out is no, well, sell out. Pardon our lack of varying terms...it's early here in Beastonia! The December issue of Mixmag comes out next Thursday, complete with a minimix from the Bethnal Green boy...which, apparently, has been a carreer accomplishment he'd always wanted to achieve.This upcoming issue features a festive-flavored mix from the Radio 1 DJ and we've got a 3 track minimix ...

It's no lie that we kinda went cuckoo for :Kinema: earlier this year. Their style of easygoing and smooth pop music is one that makes a Beast like us relax and pay attention.So at the very mention of a disco cover of a track that most kiddos claim to be among the best of the year, it was quite evident that after first listen, the next step would be to get this up and out to the masses as soon a...

Holy hedonism and bawdy behaviors! Simian Mobile Disco are on top of their game with a new video for the song Cruel Intentions. We'll readily admit that it took a few listens before we got thoroughly behind the track, but lately, it's been a source of constant enjoyment.And now with some sensually deviant, if not disturbing, visuals to enhance the tawdry tale, SMD, along with the inimitable voc...

Last week we let you know about the monstrously rad mixtape from funky man Jack Splash that would be dropping this week.

Below, you can also sample 2 mixtape cut...

You know what the mark of really well produced music is? For starters, there are some naked chickees roller skating on the cover of this image, and I hadn't even noticed because I was too busy dancing around to this slick mash from Simon Iddol. That, in summation, is pretty killer.Simon Iddol is one part mixer, one part creator of the fantastic site, Audio Porn Central. Today, we focus on the f...

The summer of 2009 was overrtaken with the arrival of Example, and most notably, his soaring single, Watch the Sun Come Up. Garnering attention from Ferne Cotton, Annie Mac and Zane Lowe doesn't hurt his rise to the top, either.Won't Go Quietly is the follow up to the lead single, and is another scintillating slice of edgy modern pop, recounting the tale of an obsessive relationship. It’s an up.

Anya Marina is the kind of singer/songwriter who embodies the spirit of storytelling.

It's safe to say that one of the early 2010 releases we are most geeked about is Chew Lips' Unicorn. You may have seen our frequent posts about the London troupe's offerings as of late, and all for good reason. We're extremely hyped for their full length debut, as you should be too. And you know what makes us even more excited? Chew Lips are giving away one free album track a month up until the...
