Anthony Gonzales has prepared a seven-track remix EP for M83 's standout track, "Reunion." The third and most recent of these reworks to surface comes from Detroit indie-pop group and perennial remixers Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. The remix builds like a spaceship, ready to take the track through every layer of the pop stratosphere. It opens with a dreamy, warped beat as droning vocals seep through and make way for arpeggiated synths, before opening up for the final minute. Sit back, relax and enjoy the trip. The Reunion EP is set to come out May 29th [...]

Yeah Okay, You're Right : So it's less than a month away now, and we've not said a word about it (yo, things got hectic around here!), but we're still very excited for the 'roo. You probably already know what Bonnaroo is, but on the off-chance you've been hiding in a cave for the past 11 years, there's a huge music festival that's about to happen on a lovely farm in Manchester, Tennessee from June 7th through the 10th. For a long weekend, music fans flood the small Tennessee town and camp out [...]

Despite their silly band name, we fell hard for the quirky electro-folk sounds of Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr.'s debut album It's A Corporate World , naming it number 19 on our Best Albums list of 2011. For their latest music video, the Detroit-based duo of Joshua Epstein and Daniel Zott have crafted a love letter to their hometown with a fantastic, soulful cover of Gil Scott-Heron's We Almost Lost Detroit . While the tune was originally written as a reaction to a partial nuclear meltdown at Fermi 1, located about halfway [...]
With Record Store Day , or "Waiting in Line for Limited Vinyl Day" as I like to call it, right around the corner, this week's B List features my Top Five picks for RSD 2012. Now in its fifth year, the impressive list of limited edition, largely vinyl releases continues to grow. Get to your local independent record store early Saturday if you want to have a chance at getting the wax you really want. At this point, I'm hoping to get even one of the entries on my list. [...]
Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. have always been kinda on the periphery of bands I pay attention to but with this rowdy party jam and accompanying good-time-smiles video I'm increasing their priority ASAP. Plus, you can't argue with a good home-town repping track!
Most of the time when an artist covers a song, they'll release it as a single, b-side, EP, live performance, or as a part of a compilation or covers album. On the rare occasion though, artists will include a cover in the tracklisting of one of their proper albums, which usually signifies that they've put more thought into the cover version or have given it their own unique interpretation. M. Ward is kind-of the apotheosis of this, including one or two covers on all his albums (including the just-released A Wasteland Companion ) but [...]

The week's two best videos both revolve around sticky nightmare realities where people act in ways that are entirely socially acceptable, and yet it looks like it might be vaguely fun to be in both groups of people. Maybe Justice's " Stress " video, or those original Die Antwoord clips, will turn out to be a bigger influence than anyone thought. But considering that one of the directors at work here is David Lynch, it's not really safe to play spot-the-influence. Watch this weeks' picks below. Read More...
In 1966, the Fermi nuclear power plant outside Detroit suffered a partial meltdown, throwing the city into a panic and later inspiring Gil Scott-Heron to write "We Almost Lost Detroit" to protest unsafe energy. "How would we ever get over / losing our minds?" he asks, wondering how a city that came so close to complete annihilation while DTE Energy continued raking in millions could ever hope to forget it. His solution: you just gotta work. When performing the song in concert, he transcended his anger at nuclear energy fat cats. "They don't care about nobody, but we do," he [...]
"I'm looking for something that'll… break through. You know?" James Woods' Max Renn yearns in David Cronenberg's 1983 cult classic Videodrome . Oh, how things have changed. In today's day and age, we've already drowned in media. It's swallowed us. We're nothing but a bubble amidst one infinite, engulfing abyss. Intimidated? You should be. With each passing second, you're losing opportunities to take advantage of a culture that's moving ahead and at an exhausting rate. You could very well be alone… left behind… abandoned. Terrified yet? Yes? Well, that's more like it. Alabama Shakes – "Hold [...]
There seems to have been an overwhelming amount of lack luster videos for good (and bad) songs as of late. Whether it's strange dreamy characters that don't make sense, annoying teenagers egging cars or a band playing live accompanied by some type of pyrotechnic, I began wondering if all the good video ideas had been used up. Personally, I'm a sucker for a clever time lapse or even the old tried and true road trip footage any day, but nothing plays better then a band showing love to their hometown. Dale Earnhardt Jr Jr's album It's A Corporate [...]
Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. put out one of the more listened to releases for MOKB last year with their It's A Corporate World album and their live show is beyond entertaining. For Record Store Day 2012, the band is putting out a limited edition 123 featuring covers of Detroit natives Madonna and Sixto Rodriguez, and three remixes by Detroit-based artists. To celebrate that release, the band put together this video for We Almost Lost Detroit in honor of their hometown. From the band: [...]
