By the time the 53rd Grammys wrapped up last night, Lady Antebellum rode away with five awards (including Record and Song Of The Year, and Best Country Song)—though they lost out on Album Of The Year in a surprise upset to Arcade Fire's The Suburbs . Meanwhile, Lady Gaga—who arrived at the shindig in an alien pod —clinched a Best Pop Vocal Album win for The Fame Monster , and during her speech gave thanks to Whitney Houston. "I wanted to thank Whitney, because when I wrote 'Born This Way ' I [...]

Guetta also won in [...]

A lot of people have been writing about a new pop singer calling herself Queen of Hearts over the past few days. But before we get over excited about this pop music event, allow us to present our hopes and fears regarding this seemingly amazing young woman. But first - here are the 30 seconds that have people interested: HOPES: 1. That the rest of 'Freestyle' is as good as the above trailer that is currently circling the blog-roundabout at 70 miles per hour. [...]

Sunday's 2011 Grammy Awards telecast is sure to be noteworthy — everyone from Lady Gaga to Gwyneth Paltrow seems to be on the bill to perform — but as stoked as we are to see whether Cee Lo sticks to the censored version of his song or lets the FCC go ballistic, we're most excited to see who wins what. This week we'll be pitching our best guesses for which act will nab each category in the Big Four—Best New Artist, and Album, Song and Record of the Year. But today, we present to [...]

It's a super strong release for indie artists with ...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead , Akron/Family , and Cut Copy leading the way (the latter's Zonoscope is pictured at left). Of course, Wires Under Tension , Nicole Atkins , and Joan of Arc are also worth getting excited about. Strangely, it's a quiet week for major label releases, but don't put them off completely, because La Roux 's EP Gold Edition comes out this week. Though in a bit of a shocker, [...]

Amping up for the release of their Gold Edition album, La Roux and their label, Cherrytree Records have been kind enough to grant fans a sneak peak/listen of the new release on MySpace Music . The Gold Edition features acoustic tracks, remixes, b-sides and other good stuff from the popular electro-pop group's debut self-titled album. La Roux peaked at #2 on the UK Albums Chart and at #70 on [...]

by Nicole Rallis After Mark Ronson's all-star set at the Défilé Etam Lingerie fashion show in Paris knocked our socks off last week—in which the likes of The Kills, Gossip's Beth Ditto, Karen Elson, and others rocked the runway—it got us thinking about other innovative designers who are enlisting equally fabulous musicians to showcase the catwalk. Check out four stellar videos, as well as the aforementioned clip as a bonus, that we've culled from the Web of Cat Power, Sonic Youth, La Roux, and Björk as they aurally enchant onlookers by [...]

This place about to blow ! Laidback Luke , the Filipino-born, Netherlands-bred DJ and producer whose name has become inextricably linked to remixes from some of MuuMuse's favorite acts, including Wynter Gordon and Christina Aguilera (and of course, that truly awe-inspiring take on Robyn 's "Indestructible" ) has a new solo single out: It's called "Timebomb." "Timebomb" is a very good, rave-y club stormer complete with glitched-out moments of 8-bit electronica and rocket-launch surging synthesizers. The song was an instrumental at first but [...]
So as you may know, Sunset in the Rearview is hosting it's second-ever concert on February 24th in Durham ! The headliner is Hoodie Allen , the second opener is Anthem , and the original first opener had to back out. So instead of autonomously picking the first opener, I figured I would open it up to all of you to pick . If you plan on coming to the show, please send this link to all of your friends who are coming so they can vote too. I'll leave this up for 3 days (to be [...]

La Roux is conspicuously absent from this new video for Chromeo's reworked version of Hot Mess, which features the aforementioned redhead on guest vocals. The video certainly isn't running short of ladies, as it features the gents from Chromeo being booted from an entirely female-staffed Sheriff's Office. If there's a deeper social commentary here I've missed it; I'm fairly certain it's just an excuse to have a lot of hot ladies dancing and writhing in various states of undress. Perhaps given La Roux's typically androgynous look she just wouldn't have fit in with the CHiPs-meets-Robert-Palmer vibe? Or maybe she just [...]
