Ah, Valentines Day. The holiday in which we snuggle up with our loved ones, take them to dinner, and give them fancy things. Or plop down with a cheap handle of vodka and terrible television and pass out at 11:30. However you like to celebrate, one thing can be sure - music can help set the mood for any situation, and Metrojolt is here to help you out. House - House music is generally thought of high energy and full of heavy bass, but like every genre if you strip it down to its core [...]
So happy hearts day! Those are red bell peppers up there but it's the closest thing I had to hearts... aside from all the hearts I have collected in my basement. But no sense in broadcasting that to the world. Amos Lee: As the Crow Flies Band of Skulls: Sweet Sour Barry Adamson: I Will Set You Free Bears: Greater Lakes Detroit Cobras: Mink Rat or Rabbit [...]

M.I.A. 's recent 5 second assault on the sensibility of America reminds us that no one can market music like a rock star. As overblown as the Super Bowl middle finger coverage has been, it's just one recent example of interesting marketing efforts from notable musicians including Tenacious D , who teased his upcoming album with a SoundCloud-powered splash page, and The Flaming Lips , who featured vocals by Siri in a recently released track. M.I.A. - The Shot [...]

Without a doubt, the Hangout Music Fest was the suprise success of 2011. For only it's second year in existence, concertgoers from all over the country swarmed the Alabama coast town of Gulf Shores - essentially a first for the entire gulf coast region. In retrospect, though, the refreshing swell of alternative vacationers couldn't have been much of a surprise: even if they hadn't been treated to as peerless a lineup as entire festival circuit that year offered (which they certainly were), no one should be able to resist the thrill of experiencing any live concert set to a backdrop [...]

At the end of last year The Flaming Lips recorded this psychotropic cover of The Beatles classic I Am The Walrus at the Pink Floor Studio in Oklahoma City. It takes a lot of guts to cover the Beatles in meaningful way. Is this meaningful? I'm not sure. What I do know is that Wayne Coyne and The Flaming Lips are the pinnacle of interesting in rock and roll, and this video is testament to their throne.
Sasquatch! , held every year in the Pacific Northwest, isn't regarded as one of the bigger music festivals in the United States, but is usually regarded as one of the best. Last year, festival organizers enlisted the talents of the Foo Fighters , Wilco , Death Cab for Cutie , Modest Mouse , The Flaming Lips , and lot more over the course of four (yes, four) days. While that may be fairly impressive for what isn't regarded as one of the year's bigger events, this year's does boast a fairly heavy - [...]

The Whispers est l'un des groupes phare de la disco-funk des années 70/80, formé autour des frères jumeaux Wallace "Scotty" et Walter Scott (facilement reconnaissables sur la photo ci-dessus). Leurs heures de gloire fera le bonheur de leur maison de disque Solar Records (Sound Of Los Angeles Records) qui verra les albums The Whispers (1980) et Love Is Where You Find It (1981) topper la première place des charts US R&B, tout comme Imagination (1981), Love To Love (1981) et Just Gets Better With Time [...]
