While the members of The Black Keys are both busy touring with their solo projects this fall, the Akron-based act did manage to make their way into the recording studio this summer for an interesting collaborative project they've dubbed Blakroc . The duo, who are known for their fuzzy blues-rock, have teamed up with an all-star roster from the world of hip hop that includes Mos Def, Q-Tip, RZA, Pharoahe Monch and Ludacris. The results will be heard on the collective's self-titled debut , which hits stores on November 27. [...]
Above : Ghostface Killah, pictured w/ Big Mouth Billy Bass. Ghostface Killah has a new album (it's his eighth!) dropping at the end of September, on the 29th. While "Ghostdini: The Wizard of Poetry in Emerald City" is probably one of the worst album titles conceivable, the tracks we've gotten our hands on from the new album are sounding pretty damn hot!! Ghostface has said "Ghostdini" is particularly R&B inspired - that we'd agree on after listening to a handful of songs, featuring guest spots from John Legend, Estelle, Ne-Yo, & Raheem DeVaughn. Check out a few of [...]
Musicals can feel kind of trippy in the first place, so this sort of fits. It was announced on Thursday that Michael Lang, one of the producers of the 1969 Woodstock Music and Art Fair, says he plans to take a part of the Woodstock experience to Broadway in a show that explores how the festival affected the lives of many who attended. Details are few thus far, but we get a feeling there will be much more to come on this. (Via: Daily Swarm Via New York Times )

Kid Cudi's debut album "Man On The Moon" leaked last week, but it officially drops next week, on Tuesday. We've given it a few good spins already, but it's such a completely rich album, so dense and stuffed with sounds we've never heard before, that we can't really wrap our heads around it after only a few listens. He has created such a distinct sound for himself, a new brand of alternative hip-hop, and it's the freshness of his sound that makes it a bit hard for us to process. We've all heard Day N Nite , Sky [...]
Growing up, my father introduced me to vinyl - the detailed crackling and authenticity of that spinning black circle of wonder. I think one of the first records he put on for me was Simon & Garfunkel's "Bookends." We would sit and we would listen to his collection. To this day, he still talks about how great the 60s were as we shuffle those black plastic circles from sleeve to needle, needle to sleeve. Memories of Woodstock, protesting, Joan Baez, Greatful Dead, Bobby Dylan [etc, etc] stream from his conscious like they happened just the other day. I'm in awe [...]
Hova's new album "The Blueprint 33 has leaked (it officially drops September 11th) and we've been spinning it quite a bit, and we're feeling it. Although people are still giving the album their first listens, it's gotten some negative feedback, but our first impression is good: we're not die-hard Jay fans, but there's something on this new album for everyone, with killer production from Kanye and Timbaland, and some pretty hot guest spots. We've gradually been digging the lead single Run This Town more and more, and below you check out Jay's collaboration with the lovely Ms. Alicia [...]
Everyone's just going crazy for this joint these past couple days. Kanye, Eminem, & Lil Wayne give a hand to Drake on Forever , a new track off the soundtrack to a upcoming Lebron James documentary "More Than A Game." Check it out below... with these four hopping on it, you know it's pretty hot shit! Forever- Drake ft. Kanye West, Lil Wayne, & Eminem
Another fun thing to read: The comments on Chuck Eddy's post envisioning an alternate Woodstock, in which a bunch of artists on the bill are swapped out for Eddy-preferred alternatives (sample trades: Loretta Lynn for Joan Baez; Jackson 5 for CSN&Y). Tucked among the "ARE U CRAZY" and "WITHOUT THE MAGIC OF ALL THOSE ARTISTS IT WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN WOODSTOCK!!" rantings of Boomers who don't want to "alter" anything (wait, what about the chemical composition of their brains???) is my favorite line: "If this guy wants to change history, let him work on my first marriage." Oh, zing [...]
We are going to move on from Woodstock, and this is the last stop. I slapped this on the other day and it pretty much stopped me in my tracks. More than a few times during the Woodstock 40th anniversary weekend I read where the music itself at the 1969 festival wasn't that great. Woodstock 40 Years On - Back To Yasgur's Farm , a new six-CD set revisiting the music from the great festival, makes a strong case that the music in that moment of time was terrific. Yeah, I know - this is a [...]
David Guetta's "One Love" has finally leaked (!!!), and below you can grab one of our favorite tunes from the new album, his collabo with Kid Cudi, Memories . It's a super smooth track and relatively somber for Guetta... featuring Cudi's indelible flow over Guetta's party beats, we're completely feeling it. Grab the new album when it drops next week (and Cudi's when it drops in September)! Memories (ft. Kid Cudi)- David Guetta Hey hey, oo-oo-oo-oo-ooo-oo.
There's been a lot of hullabaloo regarding the 40th anniversary of Woodstock and there's been no shortage of fascinating stuff to read and view. Personally, I wasn't even walking, yet, when the boomers threw that bash. Until I was nine or ten, Woodstock was a bird, a Sundance Kid to Snoopy's Butch Cassidy. It was in the late '70s - maybe on the 10th anniversary - that I saw the documentary of the festival. I was only beginning to care about music, but I had little knowledge of the performers. I might have known the name [...]
It was muddy, organic, idyllic, and iconic. From August 15 - 18, 1969, thousands of blissed-out hippies, bohemians, workers, artists, students, and music lovers congregated on Max Yasgur's 600 acre dairy farm in Bethel, NY for three days (and then some) of peace and music. Here at ChordStrike, we celebrate the 40th anniversary of one of rock and roll's most pivotal events with our Woodstock Store . Visit the store to watch videos, listen to music, discuss Woodstock with other fans, and relive a truly defining moment in musical history. --Bri Nguyen

Grace Slick, Still Alive, Admits Liking Nickelback
As part of the endless Woodstock nostalgia we're being subjected to by major media outlets since last week, it looks like we're going to have to watch old heroes admit loving totally awful music. Sigh. Grace Slick , CNN reports , is still alive. The lithe and ethereal frontwoman of Jefferson Airplane fame was more than an icon. She was the high priestess of the burgeoning psychedelic culture of the mid-'70s, beautiful and terrifying. And that particular breed was one favored by the villainous Gods of Rock for sacrifice, who after having served them faithfully in Cthonian abandon [...]

The Woodstock Nostalgia Backlash
For weeks now, the olds who run old media have been waxing nostalgic about Woodstock. Perhaps you have heard of it, that little concert that took place in a massive mudpit in upstate New York round about 40 years ago? In USA Today , we read about aging baby boomers turning back the clock at a Woodstock memorial concert over the weekend. A box set called Woodstock 40 Years On: Back to Yasgur's Farm offers yet another chance for former hippies to relive their youth, at only $80 a [...]
