Mods and rockers. East coast or west coast hip hop. Acoustic Miles and Dylan versus the plugged-in versions of the icons. The seemingly mandatory obligation to pick a side confounds me. I never understood why punk/indie-rock and metal had to be mutually exclusive genres. I love Husker Dü and Judas Priest, Fugazi and Van Halen. That's why bands like Rodan appeal to me. Rodan's three-year existence ended in 1994, before subgenres like metalcore and mathrock became [...]

Did You Hear? :: Just as Lana Del Rey wowed everyone with her "Young & Beautiful" contribution to the Great Gatsby soundtrack , the mellow maven is laying in between the sheets of Canada's Fashion Magazine. On top of that, Lady Del Rey is rocking the cover looking fierce in all of her throwback sexiness donning a crop top and skirt on the beach. Hot!

Over a year after the release of Electra Heart , Marina and the Diamonds is still killing it with performances from the LP — and last night, she took the stage at Conan to perform the ballad "Lies," with a new bridge featuring extra-heartbroken lyrics. Fun! "Cause I'm not too proud / If I'm not number one, then I'd rather be lonely," she sings. Bummer city. With the Dr. Luke and Diplo production stripped down and Marina's high, haunting voice, the song sounds like a perfectly eerie ballad, all [...]

Judging by the size of the venues she has been playing, it would be fair to say Marina Diamandis has had a good year. Last summer the pop songstress, who goes by Marina and the Diamonds , sold out the 1,100-capacity Fillmore. Now she’s back, still promoting 2012’s Electra Heart album, and has sold out the twice-as-large Warfield. Her current tour was booked in larger venues throughout the U.S. “Oh my God; I don’t think two years ago I would have thought I’d have been playing 1,000-capacity venues,” the 28-year-old Welsh [...]

Uh-huh: Charli XCX and Marina & The Diamonds , two of London music's sassiest, alt-poppiest solo female artists, have hooked up while touring together, with the result as you might expect. It's easy to view this as a duet for a duet's sake - purely to make some noise, to grab some extra column inches - but I'd say the song's strong enough and catchy enough for those suspicions to be nixed, and to fully merit its making. I'd also say that it's more Marina than Charli, just as a guide.
One Timers are quick hits to keep your ears fresh throughout the day. Get down with these tracks, sans a bunch of words clogging up your brain. Wonder what a real one timer is? Watch this . Hint: he scores! - Former WU LYF members get the band back together (minus Ellery Roberts) and form a new group under the moniker Los Porcos. "Do You Wanna Live?" is a good listen, spunky as hell and as fun as a pig rooting in the mud. [...]

Ahead of their upcoming sold out U.S. tour , the princesses of UK alt-pop Marina and the Diamonds + Charli XCX pair up for “Just For Desserts”. The pulsating tune features the slightly sinister and seductive tilt that these two are so famous for. We’re just wondering why this collaboration took so long to make reality. Listen and grab a free download below.

Chona Kasinger Next week is a pretty big week for new album releases, particularly if you're favourably inclined towards records coming out of the UK, which means that this week is a pretty big week for advance album streams. And while it's not the one that everyone will tell you you should be paying attention to, Still Corners' second record Strange Pleasures is one you shouldn't overlook - particularly if you assumed you knew what they were all about from their 2011 debut Creatures Of [...]
