Next week is the series finale of NBC's long running remake of Ricky Gervais's UK classic The Office , and last night the showrunners finally addressed a serious weakness of the show during its full nine-year run: Not enough Santigold. Finally! Just kidding how beautifully random. Although, Santi's appearance does come with some internal logic: Ed Helms's character (Andy) is auditioning for an American Idol -styled singing contest (because of course he is), and hence Santi's been cast as a Nicki Minaj-type judge (alongside past Idol champion Clay Aiken and past Super Bowl champion/present Green Bay [...]
Last night's episode of The Office , the final one before next week's series finale, featured three super random cameos. Santigold appeared alongside Green Bay Packers Quarterback Aaron Rodgers and singer Clay Aiken as judges on a spoof talent show called America's Next A Capella Sensation . Replay the full episode below via Hulu (the Santigold cameo begins at the 26:25 mark.)
Santigols y Aaron Rodgers con parte del talento de 'The Office'. Santigold aparecerá en el nuevo episodio de la serie The Office que saldrá este jueves 9 de mayo. En dicho episodio, la cantante hará audiciones para un show llamado The Next Great A Cappella Sensation . Además, compartirá créditos con el mariscal de campo de la NFL , Aaron Rodgers . En Estados Unidos, The Office sale al aire todos los jueves a las 9 p.m. EST a través de NBC , habrá que esperar para [...]
"A friendship between college girls is grander and more dramatic than any romance..." This is especially true if the friendship has a great soundtrack. Thankfully, Girls does. HBO's hit dramedy Girls just recently finished up its second season trying to live up to all of the hype built up by its hugely successful debut. The season definitely had a darker feel; it dealt with some mental health and alcoholism issues. But, being as Judd Apatow is the show's executive producer, you knew there had to be some hilarity - specifically with instances like Hannah's home-done haircut, trash dumping, [...]
About a month ago, a series of acts touched down in an atypical setting for a string of shows that an otherwise rural area might never get to see. Our sponsor, vitaminwater, is on a mission to #MakeBoringBriliant in 2013. They started with a musical transformation of Boring, Oregon that featured performances by BOB , Matt and Kim, Santigold , and Yung skeeter. The event aired live on Fuse TV and online on 4/3. Now they're turning their attention to all things boring....Interested in more? tweet @vitaminwater what's boring you and they'll #MakeBoringBrilliant - [...]

On a very basic level, let me just say that this song speaks to me. On a musical and dancing level, it's perfect and happy. But I'm saying, this was the first song I listened to on my run yesterday. For anyone that is in New York, you'll understand why this was such a big deal. The sun was out and the sky was perfectly blue all day long. The evening was just as beautiful, as you look up to find a rare amount of stars in the sky. One of those days. So maybe you can understand why I'm [...]
2013 certainly seems to be a year chock-full of eagerly awaited album releases with Daft Punk releasing Random Access Memories in May and Disclosure's debut album, Settle , coming in June. Before these two, we're treated to the release of Major Lazer's second album, Free the Universe . Free the Universe is the first album from Major Lazer since Switch left the group for "creative differences". Since then, Diplo has fully [...]
M.I.A. tiene nuevo álbum bajo el brazo, 'Matangi' El dúo de productores londinense Radioclit , reclutó a Santigold y a M.I.A. para que cantaran en su canción llamada "Get It Up", aunque esta colaboración es de hace un año, los productores la sacaron a la luz y en descarga gratuita. Esta pieza está cargada de ritmos africanos y además de contar con las vocales de las dos antes mencionadas, podemos escuchar un coro característico de la música de ese continente. Tambores, percusiones, arreglos vocales, e incluso siblatos, todo eso dentro de "Get [...]
King Tubby, the father of dub music, once famously stated: “Roots music is creative music… It’s original. It comes from the heart. If you want to create a different sound, you create that different sound.” Using his custom mixing deck, Tubby became one of Jamaica's biggest celebrities during the 1970s based on the success of his larger soundsystem and the progressive production work he had done with the country's popular artists. Fast-forward four decades and Major Lazer , the fictional Jamaican commando made famous by Diplo and current partners Jillionaire and Walshy Fire, is following a similar trajectory unbeknownst to his devout [...]
So Major Lazer this week release Free the Universe for widespread consumption, and today thus becomes a monumental day; a special event, and one which would surely be honoured with a polychromic carnival of Notting Hill depravity were it only that bit more engrossing, even from the off. For it has been postponed, put off and pushed from pillar to post (read: label to label) since it was first slated for liberation earlier on in the year. Of course it somewhat inevitably marks a change in the trajectory first traced by Diplo in the [...]
What do you get when you stuff one Wayans brother (Damien Dante Wayans, to be precise), three top notch musical acts (B.o.B., Matt & Kim, and Santigold), 300 folks thirsty for entertainment, and a few ... read more
As we touched on earlier in the week , vitamin water® noticed people were all too bored these days. To spice things up, they took to Boring, Oregon on April 3 and threw an epic concert with Santigold, B.o.B, Yung Skeeter and more. And, as you can expect from such a colorful event, the people of Boring had a rather awesome time. This show kicked off the Brilliance Uncapped series, which will continue on throughout the country and spruce up towns with music and good times. Provided for us are some lively photographs from last night's [...]
We all know how boredom can be a drag. Well no worries, because tonight won't be boring at all. On a mission to make all things boring-brilliant, vitaminwater is out and about across the states to do just that. Its first stop will be Boring, Oregon where vitaminwater will host "Brilliance Uncapped," a huge concert event. The lineup brings up the diverse and eclectic artists of B.o.B, Santigold, Matt & Kim and Yung Skeeter. With Santigold's mind juggernaut "Creator," and Matt and Kim's dulcet sing along "Daylight," it'll be impossible to be bored. "Brilliance Uncapped" will air live at 9 PM [...]
After learning that more people are bored than ever these days through some Twitter investigating, the folks at vitaminwater® decided it was time to change all that. They're kicking off a new concert series called Brilliance Uncapped that appropriately starts in the town of Boring, Ore. The town will get spruced-up through a makeover and on Wednesday, April 3, there will be a very special concert. Those who attend will get a chance to see B.o.B, Santigold, and Yung Skeeter perform live and, hopefully, they might rock some collaborations together. [...]
In a world ridden with technology and entertainment, it’s really difficult to get bored- and Vitamin Water Uncapped’s #MakeBoringBrilliant campaign hopes to prove that.

The campaign asks Twitter users to use the hash-tag to state what they find boring. Then Vitamin Water and College Humor step in and find ways to make what’s boring, brilliant. [...]
