ScHoolboy Q is signed to Top Dawg Entertainment alongside Jay Rock and Kendrick Lamar, and his latest track features the newest star out Harlem, A$AP Rocky. Both tear up a well sampled track which borrows from Kid Cudi's 'Pursuit of Happiness'. Although to me the loops sound a bit more than just samples. To me they sound something more along the lines of what The Noisettes did with a bunch of Kanye's tracks, but the rappers make it work. Peep the tracks below and see what I mean. ScHoolboy Q feat. ASAP Rocky - Hands on [...]

Contributed by Bruce Rave The Noisettes caught lots of ears with the pretty "Never Forget You" from their second album. Lots of peeps didn't realize that this UK band was seriously raw and bluesy on their fine freshman outing. They updated that disc's "Sister Rosetta" for this year's Twilight soundtrack. It's the Noisettes the way I like them best. Noisettes - Rosetta Stone The Noisettes [...]
When Stephen King said, " Harry Potter is about confronting fears, finding strength and doing what is right in the face of adversity. Twilight is about how important it is to have a boyfriend," he obviously meant to say that Twilight is really about writing bad books to make worse movies that weirdly have phenomenally loaded indie soundtracks. In fact, their annual holiday season releases have become a holiday in themselves: giving us Thom Yorke, a Bon Iver/St. Vincent collaboration, Lykke Li, more Muse than we would probably like, and so much more. Sadly, Breaking [...]

Set for the first week of July in Kent, England, Hop Farm Fest aims for a "return to the basics," where legends of past and present play amidst 30,000 festival-loving folks who all paid one universal price. As the festival's website puts it, there's no sponsorship, no branding, no VIP attitude. If it sounds too good to be true that's because it probably is, but the Hop Farm Fest has pushed this Utopian idea for the past three summers and will again in 2011. This year's festivities, set for July 1st and 2nd, will feature a [...]
A great song from Big Z, he mixes Noisettes song and applies Asher Roth's accapela that he encouraged people to remix in a contest. Check out Big Z's Facebook Page to support Big Z in this contest and his music career. Big Z - Sometimes (Remix)
"Never Forget You" from Noisettes' 2009 masterpiece Wild Young Hearts is one of the Brit-pop trio's finest recordings to date. The '60s-soul-tinged song that borrows a little sumthin' from Phil Spector rocketed up the charts on both side of the Atlantic last year, and now superstar DJ/producer Kaskade has unveiled his housey interpretation of the [...]
First things first; Return to Mono are anything but monophonic. Their catchy guitar rifts, strong vocals, and solid synths form a fully fledged and fully phonic electro rock sound. 'Song Of The Beast' is the bands largest slice of electro; crunched beats are supported with warps and synths to provide a harder edge to their sound. Leading lady [...]

A good night out cannot be classed as successful by any standard without good music. Fact. The clubs yearn for dance tunes and crowd pleasers that take the experience from alright to unforgettable. For me it's got to be something I can dance to all night, and I have found that in "Captain". Read more..
The Los Angeles Times reports that Gwyneth Paltrow will be singing a PG version of Cee-lo's "Fuck You" (renamed "Forget You") during her performance on "Glee" coming in 2 weeks.

Verbal & Yoon drop some dope visuals for their cover of The Runaways classic jam Cherry Bomb. We were pretty stoked on the track when we reviewed it last month. And the vid pretty much takes it all the way there. So yeah we won't front, we've been pretty psyched on this Dr. Martens Covers Series . We featured The Raveonettes killer Stones Roses cover a couple months ago and feel like this track for Cherry Bomb is right on level w it. Our connects at Dr. Martens HQ have pssst secreted to us that The Noisettes (who [...]

Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News , Exclusive As the fluorescent lights dim on the bamboo-encircled stage, fan hysteria encompasses the shores of Lake Malawi. With only seconds standing in between their African debut, popular UK band the Noisettes huddle backstage for final embrace before chanting an all encompassing word in unison: "rock!" Heralded as "the best live band in Britain" by the Guardian, the Noisettes certainly live up to their rocking reputation during their headlining [...]
Little Comets - The Isles (via nerdcore ) Gut, rein vom Thema her hätten die Little Comets ihre neue Single auch "United Kingdom" oder "Great Britain" nennen können, aber haben sie nicht. Und streng genommen gibt es ja auch Unterschiede zwischen den einzelnen Begriffen: United Kingdom ist nicht das gleiche wie Great Britain und die Britischen Inseln sind auch was anderes. Da ihr hier ja nicht nur seid, um neue Musik kennenzulernen, sonder auch um etwas für euer Klugscheiß-Wissen zu tun, habe ich mal zusammengefasst, was die einzelnen Begriffe bedeuten: 1 [...]
