by GENEVIEVE OLIVER Saturday’s Record Store Day , so stop torrenting stuff, get off your computer, steal your roommate’s record player, and high-tail it down to your local neighborhood record store to pick up one or all of these awesome exclusive releases. You might have to literally fight with one of us for them, so we hope you picked up on some of your grandma’s Black Friday skills (because we did). Best Coast, Fear of My Identity / Who Have I Become 73 [...]
Bit by bit; piece by piece; blog post by blog post, we're getting a pretty transparent picturing of Kisses' unimpeachably sprightly sophomore recording, Kids in LA . First came The Hardest Part ; then Huddle and now, as the anticipation hots up over their imminently Cascine-released endeavours, the duo comprising Jesse Kivel and Zinzi Edmundson turn us onto Air Conditioning. Perhaps the most progressive of the three unveiled thus far, there's an icy, unmistakably '80s electropop aesthetic palpitating away at its core as Kivel impersonates an unprecedentedly jovial Oliver Sim atop a glacial backdrop composed of [...]
There's already been a lot of hype around the Jay-Z curated soundtrack for Baz Luhrman's The Great Gatsby, what with the news that Beyoncé and André 3000 would be covering the late Amy Winehouse’s “Back To Black,” alongside new music from The xx, Lana Del Rey, Florence & The Machine, Jay-Z, Jack White, (covering U2) and lots more. Having already heard a clip of the Winehouse cover in this trailer , and the full version of the unlikely Fergie/Q-Tip collab, now there's an official soundtrack sampler, featuring 30 second clips of twelve of [...]
Procurando antecipar o que vos espera a 5 de Maio nos jardins da Torre de Belém , a Punch deixa-vos uma sessão dos Mount Kimbie gravada nos estúdios Maida Vale da BBC há uns dias atrás. Com um álbum novo prestes a sair ( Cold Spring Fault Less Youth a 28 de Maio) pela sua fantástica nova editora Warp, os Mount Kimbie passaram pela rádio estatal britânica. Apresentaram um curto set onde incluíram o single novo "Made to Stray", o clássico "Carbonated" e fecharam com uma música nova, bem mais orgânica, com bateria e guitarra, [...]
There are many great things about the upcoming film adaptation of The Great Gatsby , but one of the great-est is the soundtrack, which features new tunes from Florence & The Machine , Lana Del Rey, Sia, Emeli Sande and a lot of other great artists, too. Great! Now, the official sampler for the soundtrack has been unveiled, featuring 30-second snippets from each of the songs. Unsurprisingly, Lana Del Rey's "Young and Beautiful" is an instant standout, but Emeli Sande's 1920s redux of Beyonce 's "Crazy In Love" is stiff competition. As [...]
![[Coachella 2013] Watch Full Sets from The xx, Blur, Vampire Weekend and Earl Sweatshirt, Highlights from Many More](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4896128_lg.jpg)
The first weekend of Coachella flew by, and there were lots of memorable moments. Hell, R. Kelly joined Phoenix onstage in a surprise moment of the festival. Given the nature of the festival, with its well-established live streaming and eager fans with cameras in hand, it wasn't long before a decent amount of videos hit the web. After the jump, you can check out a whole swath of these uploaded videos, including full sets from The xx, Earl Sweatshirt, Blur and Vampire Weekend along with shorter clips from so many more. The joys of technology.
Coachella is quite a big deal all of a sudden. Since the 2Pac hologram last year its been all people have been talking about. Not only the best bands, producers and dj's of the year end up... [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]

Time for some more interesting Coachella happenings. Solange popped up on stage during the xx's set to perform Aaliyah's "Hot Like Fire." Their combined take on the R&B classic is silky smooth, and gets started right at the 20:00 mark in this video of the set. Fire it up below.

Durante el primer fin de semana de Coachella , el sábado exactamente, The xx se presentó por primera vez en el escenario principal del festival. Además de interpretar algunas de las canciones más conocidas de su disco debut homónimo de 2009, también se escucharon temas de su disco Coexist del año pasado. También, la sorpresa de su presentación fue la aparición de Solange , quien aunque no participó oficialmente en el festival, apareció en el escenario al lado de Romy Madley , Oliver Sim y Jamie xx .

Moving onto the XX 's full Coachella setlist which features a collaboration with the SOLANGE , for a cover of the AALIYAH's HOT LIKE FIRE .
É fácil de percebe porque razão o festival californiano Coachella é um dos desejos da bucketlist de muitos dos nossos leitores. Nosso também está claro. Desde sexta-feira que andamos colados ao canal de Youtube do evento a acompanhar as dezenas de concertos de bandas que queremos ver também ao vivo em Portugal. Mas porque nem toda a gente fez directas para acompanhar as emissões que seguiram pela madrugada fora, partilhamos algumas das melhores actuações e momentos do primeiro fim de semana festival. De destacar os The XX, que trouxeram Solange Knowles ao [...]
As surreptitious meeting places go, the back of a black van belonging to Swans with a wingspan of at least three conventional hatchbacks at a bleak end of Camden Town is right up there in terms of the outré. And peripheral though its Mornington Crescent-shaped extreme may be, it feels as though we're right at the still very much palpitating, and distressingly pallid heart of the discombobulating Easter blizzard currently passing through – one "nobody's used to, save for eskimos." It makes for a hostile welcome to London if ever there were one, though I wholeheartedly envisage Jamie Stewart to [...]
The music festival experience has completely transformed in the past few years. If you're one of the many music heads who aren't fortunate enough to be able to attend Coachella you can now enjoy from the comforts of your own home. 'Coachella Couch Tour' if you will. Watch The XX perform their entire set from Saturday, weekend one, including an impromptu appearance of Solange covering Aaliyah's "Hot Like Fire," with the band. Try - 0:00 Crystalised - 04:49 Reunion - 08:58 Far Nearer - 12:52 Sunset - 14:37 [...]
Though it may not be the most shocking unannounced addition to the Coachella bill, Solange 's appearance on stage with the XX can easily be counted among the most pleasant surprises from weekend one of the festival. Roughly a third of the way through their nearly hour-long set, the British trio brought out the younger Knowles sister, who sang a bit of "Locked in Closets" (from her True EP) before diving into a typically echoey, gorgeous duet with XX frontman Oliver Sim on Aaliyah 's "Hot Like Fire"-a nod to the modern R&B roots that lurk ever [...]
Before we get into Saturday, let's not bury the day's big lede: R. Kelly joined Phoenix on stage to perform his biggest crossover that isn't from the Space Jam soundtrack, "Ignition (Remix)." Not quite the Daft Punk cameo folks rumored, definitely worthy of its own post. Which is here . Earlier in Day 1, in the space I will affectionately call EDM Town - where the electronic music tent is located - it was hard not to feel like we had been transported to another festival. Everything was a little more neon, everyone [...]

Not another Year End List 2012 is officially in the books, and Three Colours has compiled its very favorites of the year. In our opinion, here's the best music of 2012.

Set times for 20132s Coachella Valley Music and Arts Annual Festival have been announced, and if you're like us at BBLA HQ, you're already mapping out a game plan for whom you want to see. The thing is, every year always presents some conflicts leaving you no choice but to choose one band over another. Conflicts in the desert may vary in degrees from person to person, but here are a few that are causing some hair-pulling ... Friday [...]
