Jimmy Fallon and Florence Welch It’s time again for Friday on My Mind , our weekly blog post where we look at videos centered around one common theme.

This change will take place by Spring of 2014 after the airing [...]

Hey! Feel like going to Brazil, home of the most passionate stans in the world ? Do it in September, when Rock In Rio happens — because the seven-day music festival is booking some pretty major talent. Talent like Beyonce! Have you heard of her? She's kind of a big deal. And Justin Timberlake! Also a pretty big deal. And then some guy named Bruce Springsteen , who we don't know, but he's probably great. The festival — which happens in Rio de Janeiro over two weekends, from September 13-15 [...]

If there was a fighting game based on the characters of today's record labels — someone please make this — Sammy Bananans would be in the Fool's Gold column next to A-trak and Catchdubs and his finishing move would definitely have something to do with his midi-sax. His latest production, a bootleg of JT's "Let the Groove Get In" off The 20/20 Experience , has restored my faith in 120bpm. Listen below and head over to Sammy's Facebook page to grab the free download .

Past editions of Brazil's Rock in Rio music festival have drawn upward of 1.5 million people, and this year's lineup should do little to curb enthusiasm. Beyoncé, Justin Timberlake, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, Metallica, Muse, Iron Maiden, and Bon Jovi will all perform headlining sets during the seven-date festival, set to run September 13-15th and 19-22nd in Rio de Janerio. Other performers include Florence and the Machine, Alicia Keys, John Mayer, Slayer, Alice in Chains, Avenged Sevenfold, Ghost B.C., Grace Potter and the Nocturnals, Ben Harper, Sepultura, The Offspring, [...]
And so here we are: it's 2013, and we've another potentially incendiary album from the enfant terrible of rap. Gone is the beef with Tegan and Sara and the furore surrounding his exclusively misogynistic lyrics has died down somewhat, allowing us to focus on Tyler, The Creator's purported purpose – the music itself. Opening with the fanfare of Wolf, our 'Creator lures us into a false sense of security as Marvin Gaye-like vocals and soulful piano greet us. For a moment you'd be forgiven for thinking, 'Ooh! He's grown up! This may [...]

Justin Timberlake For the second week in a row, Justin Timberlake tops the Billboard 200 albums chart.

The jams are flowing, the sun is beginning to shine, and music festival season is just around the corner. We probably say this every week The Jam Jar comes around, but this weeks round-up is stacked . In this new collection we've got a killer edit by Amtrac of everyone's favorite 2012 act Bondax , a shiny new electro pop remix courtesy of New York's Dave Edwards , and a rarity in the form of a remix from Two Door Cinema Club – in addition to much, much more. So do [...]

After nearly going platinum in its first week, Justin Timberlake's The 20/20 Experience has officially hit the sales milestone. It pushed a total of 318,000 copies this past week, which kept it at the top of the charts for the second week in a row. That means it beat out Lil Wayne's new album, I Am Not A Human Being II , which pushed 100,000 fewer units than JT's record. Clap for him. [ via ]
Fuck me, I am going to overdose on this new Justin Timberlake album. I know that I'm supposed to be ashamed of certain selections in my album collection. I know this from all of the times that p... Continue reading "Don't Feel Guilty About Justin Timberlake's 20/20 Experience" >

Deen's advice column is coming soon. From now on, every time that I write about R&B or pop music, I'll be comparing it Justin Timberlake's latest effort: The 20/20 Experience. "Why?" Because the distinct aroma of averageness leaking from that album makes it the perfect threshold for good vs. not good determination. Basically, if your shit sucks more than 20/20 - it sucks. If your album is even slightly more interesting, then it's good. Simple as. But on to why we're here today. I'm here to add Tuxedo's EP [...]
Each week, we’re taking all of Justin Timberlake ’s greatest tracks — from club cuts to ballads to sexy slow jams and collaborations — and pitting them head-to-head for an all out showdown until we’ve whittled it down to the last song standing. Sadly, the Timberlake Tournament has finally come to an end: We've gone through JT's club cuts , his teary-eyed ballads and his greatest collaborations. Now, we're choosing JT's most luscious smooth jam from his back catalog. Which one took the crown? The votes are in, and we've [...]

There's been plenty going on since the last time we checked in. On the more low-profile side of our collective radar, Lapalux and the Bay's own Friendzone both dropped full-lengths heavy on heady, warped beauty. Somewhere in between Schoolboy dropped an absolute banger, Shlohmo and Jeremih teamed up, and the Basedgod dropped a tape that's damn near magical. On the visual side of things, well Tyler killed it-twice, and once along with Earl, and once for his solid sophomore album-which we'll talk about soon enough. Not to mention the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' short film piece, with [...]

Justin Timberlake 's comeback record, The 20/20 Experience , was released last week and broke a whole load of records for first week sales. And now it's emerged that it's helped the U.S music market in general. Just last week, record sales in America were down 7.2% from that at the same point a year prior. But now, thanks to JT shifting 968,000 copies during a seven day period, the decline is now only at 5.9%. Good thing, then, that a second part to Timberlake's album is set [...]
