Thirty-three minutes long and funkier than ever, the new mixtape from Maggie Horn and Sammy Bananas aka Telephoned is called "Good Call", and it's out for full and free download and enjoyment right this second. If you'd been into any of the duo's previous work, rest assured that this is another necessary progression toward total pop domination, with all sorts of cover versions of the biggest, best and most impressive collection of songs from the last few years, interpreted as only Maggie and Sammy can. Brilliance sort of comes easy for Telephoned, and it should be exalted. [...]

In June we gave away Fool's Gold 's 'Street Clothes' in this mp3 of the day post. Now we bring you the James Pants remix of the song, also free. Compared to the original, it has a cavernous, lounge-y feel. It's kind of what I imagine Fool's Gold to sound on a faraway planet, in an interstellar space bar. I know, you're intrigued now, aren't you? Listen to and download it below.
Are you familiar with "vaudeville"? According to the wonderful (and always handy) Merriam-Webster , it's a noun that describes "a light often comic theatrical piece frequently combining pantomime, dialogue, dancing, and song" or "stage entertainment consisting of various acts (as performing animals, comedians, or singers)." Most of you are familiar with this sort of entertainment - especially if you live in a city - but if not, here's your chance to experience it. This weekend (that is, September 16-18), Chicago's Eckhart Park will play host to the inaugural Brilliant Corners of Popular Amusements (BCPA), becoming "a playground [...]
Fool's Gold - Street Clothes ( James Pants Remix) [ mp3 RCRD LBL] the soundtrack of your neotropical cocktail party
Click here to download album for free Sounds like: Main Attrakionz, Elzhi, Eminem "Danny Brown - 30" What's so good? Danny Brown might have been considered a fringe artist this time last year, but the recent release of his newest ( free !) album XXX and its proceeding reception show that the hybrid's popularity is growing by the day.

Though the sound system was never totally en pointe, or though the fact that many of the featured rappers didn't do much actual rapping, yesterday's Fool's Gold day off was a pretty fun scene punctuated by many interesting moments, ranging from bizarre to stupendously entertaining. The day's events featured sets from pint-sized beat banger Araabmuzik, art-rap weirdo Danny Brown, drug rap don/Three 6 Mafia overlord Juicy J as well as DJ appearances by A-Trak and Just Blaze, among many others. When local upstart ASAP Rocky came out, the show broke down pretty quickly—forming a circle pit at a [...]

Reckless Harlem native ASAP Rocky made a guest appearance at yesterday's Fool's Gold "Day Off BBQ" event in New York City (more coverage here ) and consequently proved why he is one of the frontrunners in this new generation of DIY rappers. Alongside Juicy J and Spaceghostpurrp , the Rick Owens aficionado dropped his latest single, "Peso" to an embracing (albeit rabid) crowd. Watch footage of the performance below along with the official video for the track: ASAP Rocky - Live at Fool's Gold Day Off BBQ [...]
In our continued goal to bring you as much pre-ACL coverage as possible, we bring you our second interview of the festival season from L.A. based indie-pop group Fool's Gold . We've been following these guys since their inception, and have particularly enjoyed their new album Leave No Trace. Leading up to their appearance at ACL in a couple weeks, we sat down with Fool's Gold front man Luke Top to ask him about his band's tunes. Follow the jump for full interview. [...]

A festival and other festivities: ► Hard to believe there's a better bargain than this year's FYF Fest (especially if you bought your tickets at the screamin'-cheap presale rate). If the involvement this year of über-promoter Goldenvoice eliminates or even alleviates the embarrassing logistical problems of the past two years, FYF 2011 could be a landmark day. It's highlighted by Guided by Voices , Explosions in the Sky , Descendents , Broken Social Scene , Death From Above 1979 and Cold War Kids , any one of [...]
Greetings from Laurel Canyon! I often like doing holiday playlists and this week is no exception. Labor Day weekend is upon us, marking the the end of summer and the beginning of fall. If the year were a song, this week would its bridge. To celebrate, I plan to do what every blue blooded American is doing . . . nothing . . . nada . . . fuck all! After all, we've worked hard this summer and have a heavy load coming next week. So here in the canyon I'm thinking, [...]
Fool's Got Flavor Whether it's to a beautiful island resort or from your washed out cubicle you are trying to escape, Fool's Gold's Leave No Trace provides the perfect soundtrack. With bouncy beats and twangy melodic guitar rhythms, this LA-based quintet manage to create a colorful landscape of sounds with catchy tunes to boot. Originally a 12-person collective, Fool's Gold has refined itself to a five-member outfit and is all set for a return trip to Europe, where they'll be back to tour in November. They've recently returned from touring the festivals abroad and already have dates booked in [...]
Photo by Julio Enriquez / Flickr I reviewed Fool's Gold's sophomore effort for eMusic . A taste: The music's the star on this album, driven by the lead guitar licks that dot the songs like Perseid meteors, and a blend of busy percussion and occasional horn punctuation. The group is at its frantic best on breathless efforts such as "Wild Window" and the synth-aided "Street Clothes," while the bouncing "Bark and Bite" could soundtrack a summer block party anywhere from Olvera Street to Williamsburg. [...]
Hot off the heels of opening their flagship store in Brooklyn, the Fool's Gold crew returns with another trailblazing New York event: Day Off, a free, all-ages, all-day extravaganza on Monday, September 5th...
Fool's Gold's sophomore album "Leave No Trace" arrived earlier this month like an umbrella drink, mixing sweet and bright African beats with the intoxicating yearning of '80s mopes like the Smiths and the Cure. Singer Luke Top's full-throated entreaties, sung entirely in English this time (he did some songs in Hebrew on the debut), exude optimism over the complex rhythms and Lewis Pesacov's pointillist guitar work. Andrew Gura's colorful video for "Wild Window" captures the joy too; if this how this era's peaceniks look and sound, then raise those two fingers to the sky. ||| [...]
Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News , New Music , Exclusive Pierre Auroux Los Angeles is perhaps the last place to be evoked by the music of Fool's Gold , which mixes African guitar music with the tuneful jangle of the Smiths , all amidst lyrics sung in Hebrew. After wrapping up a tour and releasing their second album, 'Leave No Trace,' Fool's Gold vocalist/bassist Luke Top took some time to chat [...]
