Daft Punk and Walt Disney Pictures sounds like a sacrilegeous pairing to us, but the French electronica duo is reportedly teaming up with Disney to create the soundtrack for TR2N (Tron 2.0), which is slated to hit the big screen in 2011. Daft Punk hasn't hit the studio since their release of 2005's Human After All , but as first reported by Pitchfork , then confirmed by Billboard , the duo of Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter are [...]

Over on Pitchfork today, you can read an interview the site has posted with Dallas native Annie Clark (aka St. Vincent), whose upcoming disc we're quite excited about 'round here. And, actually, it's... Continue reading "Even In The Face Of Pitchfork, St. Vincent Remains Adorable" >

Photography by Tsuru It's a small world after all It's a small world after all It's a small world after all It's a small, small, world.... Good lard how that song can haunt you. I believe that everyone, at least once in their life, should sit through the 15 minutes of "It's A Small World", 15 minutes because the boats tend to get a little backed up at the end, so you sit there [...]

Presentazione : Ecco il quarto album di inediti di una delle più belle voci del panorama musicale italiano: la "molto spesso sottovalutata" Dolcenera ci presenta "Dolcenera Nel Paese delle Meraviglie". Giudizio complessivo: Sezioni di archi, melodie dolci, testi pieni zeppi di "amore". Se fossero solo questi gli elementi caratterizzanti il nuovo album di Dolcenera allora ci troveremmo di sicuro di fronte ad una fantastica colonna sonora per uno di quei film della Disney . Ma a contrastare il tutto (in maniera positiva si intende) sopraggiungono acuti spacca-timpani, grinta da vendere e batteria [...]

Bellingham's own Pop-Rockers, The Pale Pacific , are scooting down to Seattle on March 11th to play Chop Suey . Joining them on the bill is a SLEW of other local bands including The Catch , Aqueduct , Wild Orchid Children , and others... Now, this isn't going to be your run-of-the mill show. What they've got planned up there at Chop Suey is a night of Disney Covers .. Yup.. rocking bands covering Disney songs. I have no idea how this came to be [...]

Photography by Baby & Me ... Disney was fantastic kitschy fun good times! This is baby and I going round and round and round and round on the Mad Tea Party ride! Best day date evah, yo. We fly home tomorrow and things will be back to normal. So until then, let's have another video moment, this time Ra Ra Riot's "Can You Tell"... See you tomorrow!

The Oscar pools are over and the little gold men have been doled out, so now it's time to roll out the blue carpet and hand out the little furry blue monsters! As a belated tie-in to the Academy Awards, I've made up some arbitrary Oscar-themed categories of cover songs for you, the Academy of Fong Songs Readers, to vote on by secret ballot. Write-ins are welcome, but please no ballot stuffing, this isn't the NHL All-Star Game. Note: if Google Reader is any indication, voting won't work from the RSS feed, so drop by for a [...]

The Tsuru mini-vacation continues today as Baby & I head out to Disney for the day! Speaking of cheesy good times, check out friend and valued member of our beloved Society , captgeech and his fantastically awesome parody of Bon Iver's "Skinny Love" called, appropriately enough, "Skinny Jeans".... Good times! I'd like to blame the dryer too, but after this vacation, who am I kidding... Have a great day everyone, we'll back in business on Wednesday at the latest. Word is the Yeah [...]

The LEGO Group and Disney Consumer Products today announced a multi-year licensing agreement that gives the world's premiere construction toy brand access to an extensive portfolio of renowned Disney and Disney Pixar properties.

Toy Story-themed [...]

Those copyright cops at YouTube deleted the account of Trunks6, a genius at combining peculiar pop songs with clips from Disney films, late last year. (They must hate love.) But the man is back—and he's brought back his greatest hits for us to enjoy again. If you love romance and the somewhat icky feelings that watching animated dogs and cats frolicking to a particularly erotic Marvin Gaye song arouse in your soul, you're in for a treat today. Steven, the man behind the TrunksXV username, enjoys Metal Gear Solid [...]

Facciamo un esperimento e uniamo qualche ingrediente: un pò di capelli alla Tokio Hotel , un paio di bei faccini, una grossa quantità di pop/rock/alternative, un pò di hip-hop, una canzone dal titolo alla Ricky Martin , qualche ballerino di breakdance nel video. Cosa esce fuori? L'ennesimo tormentone "acchiappa ragazzine" dal titolo "Shake It". Di chi è la canzone? Di alcuni "fanciullotti" dalla lunga chiama che hanno formato una band chiamata Metro Station la quale, a detta di tutti i siti che ho visitato nel web per raccogliere informazioni sul loro conto, dovrebbe essere il nuovo [...]

" MWAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHA!!!!!!! " When I was little I would practice my evil laugh at LEAST once a day just in case one of my horrible plans had come in to fruition and the world would be in my tiny, evil hands. I couldn't help it. I wanted to be a villain. No matter what comic I would read or what film I would watch I would always root for the villain. Just once I would have liked to have seen the villain interrupt the hero's speech about justice and freedom by shooting him. [...]

You can climb back on the ride "It's a Small World" at Disneyland in California. The attraction was closed for more than a year, getting a facelift that adds more than a dozen new Disney characters.

Wow, that 80Kidz remix sure got popular in the end. I think at one point it was listed the 3rd most popular on the Hype Machine. I think some record labels in the UK (and US) might want to think about getting them over here pretty sharpish. Here are important some facts about 80kidz.... 80Kidz Facts: They are from Japan. They make uber remixes. Life Begins After Eighty is awesome. They are a bit like the Bag Raiders but maybe better :-o /end of facts. They recently did [...]

Bruce Springsteen , Tom Petty, Prince, The Rolling Stones, Sir Paul McCartney: After this Sunday, this list will be the answer to the question "Who were the last five Super Bowl halftime show performers?" Boomer-friendly and safe-for-TV in the wake of Nipplegate, these big five have conspired to make the Super Bowl Halftime Show a Big Deal, water cooler fodder, something you might actually watch on TV. Some might point to 1993's Super Bowl XXVII Michael Jackson show as a turning point, but the year after that brought America Rockin' Country Sunday with Clint Black, [...]

One of the many stories we didn't actually get to discuss this week is the news that The Faceless are the latest metal act to banned from The Disney-owned House Of Blues in Anaheim, California. Oddly enough, their tour mates in Meshuggah and Cynic were not banned; what makes The Faceless any more (or less) [...]

While I expected the typical Disney sluttiness , the Kids' Inaugural Ball: We Are the Future was surprisingly calm with everyone in a good mood. Nick Jonas and Miley Cyrus finally give each other a hug , putting their differences behind them. Even Demi Lovato and Miley got along.
