Work was conceived as a necessary departure; the lyrics reflect the tension of that effort, exploring regret and anticipation, expectation and indecision. Musically, the space in between finds resolution more intuitively, and the record manages to stake out a new place in their catalog while still belonging within it completely. Sounds like : multitudes | oughts | Phil Ek recording the Shout Out Louds Shout Out Louds : ( Official / Myspace ) Shout Out Louds [...]

If you consider them to be the Sugababes, they are going back in the studio to make up for the commercial disaster that is Sweet 7. Yes, the trio are back in the studio trying to salvage anything from other people's catalogues. "They're a very happy group today. They can't wait to get back into the studio and bring back that feel good factor." Bitch, please!

The Scissor Sisters are ready to grace us with their third full-length album Night Work. After a minor sophomore slump with Ta-Dah, the filthy, yet gorgeous band is back with this sleazily appropriate album cover of what looks like Jake Shear's clenched bum. It's not always clenched you see, so it's a special occasion, we mean that as the highest of compliments. Really. Anyway, the album is bound to have some nasty beats and unforgettable taglines. The fist single will be "Fire With Fire" and the album will hit stores and your online mp3 website June 20th, 2010. Click below [...]

On an average, we get more than our fair share of requests to throw our support behind projects. In the end, we turn the majority of them down for a variety of reasons. No sense in devaluing the brand we've managed to build up by haphazardly co-signing weak sauce. But with Dave & Chris, The Paxtons , things were different. The were completely unheard to us. Yet, the skill level, the vision they possessed for the project & the music, it all came together to make us (or at least me) say "yeah, these guys have a piece of [...]

Working Class Film Read: 'Slumming it in the movies.' The history of American indie film happens to be dominated by lowlifes and inarticulates. This is what happens when the godfathers of independent film are John Cassavetes and Melvin van Peebles,...

Before joining the ranks of corporate America several years ago, the end of the month merely meant that the rent would soon be due. That was then. Some of you might also labor in offices and cubicles, hunkered in some flourescently-lit bunker performing some task that, when you truly stop to ponder what it is that you do, is not only rather pointless but bordering on ridiculous. (perhaps it's all beamed somewhere as a reality show for aliens) The end of the month means that there are goals and such that [...]

To say "Rock n' Roll is dead" is to say you've never heard of some of the great bands coming out today. Enter: Shout Out Louds . This Swedish group's latest offering, Work , is a great example of the maximum R&R lingering just beyond the limelight. The album's lead single 'Walls' embraces the smart-but-straight-forward traditions blazed by groups like the Smiths and New Order. Vocalist Adam Olenius channels Morrissey, and the band provides a structure as stimulating and sturdy as anything built by the Arcade Fire or Belle & Sebastian in the past [...]

TGIF. The sweetest acronym to hear since BJTM (Blow Job Time Machine). Fridays absolutely rule! They're like a New York strip steak, wrapped in a 1950's Lincoln Continental, wrapped in one of Megan Fox's negligees. The only problem with this special day, is that the worst type of work from that week inevitably rolls across your desk. I'm talking spreadsheets, wrapped in number crunching, wrapped in Glen Beck's spank-it rag. Here are a few handy tips ton ensure that your Friday moves swiftly, and without any real work. [...]

Contrary to what many believed, Janet Jackson is not working on a new album. Her new single is "Nothing" and it's a one-off for the soundtrack of her new film. There have been no plans for a new album as she decides whether to sign on to another record label or go completely independent, which is a brave consideration from her part and should reap her many benefits. "There was a time where I was actually in the studio and I was recording, but I'm not working on an album," she says. "There have been a lot of record labels [...]

MP3: The Work - Cain & Abel from Slow Crimes (1982) MP3: Konk Pack - Off Leash Excerpt from Off Leash (2004) Tonight, Baltimore is once again ground-zero for an atom-bomb of experimental improv talents. Firstly, there are few openers that hit harder than the one-two punch of local luminaries Leprechaun Catering and Matmos . The former's ever-engrossing, stream of thought racket combines seamlessly with the latter's deft compositions that somehow use unconventional tools to mine the deepest pits of experimentalism, and emerge [...]

New is out that Jason Derulo is working with Madonna on her next album. This makes us sad as it is an indicator that Madonna is still money-grubbing and trying to do anything that will land her on airwaves even if it is a bunch of old bull like her previous album Hard Candy. She can't do R&B or hip hop. She should stick to what made her famous - dance music. Anyway, why is she working with Jason Derulo? His biggest hit was only a result of him sampling of an Imogen Heap track. But, if you don't know [...]

Nadine Coyle just celebrated St. Patrick's Day with her beau in her Irish pub in Los Angeles names Irish Mist. But, she's still hard at work on her debut album and, not only is she working with Boyz II Men, but she is also working with the guy who spearheaded Madonna and All Saints' careers - William Orbit. Orbit just tweeted that his dinner with Nadine Coyle was not just a gathering but a business meeting. We can't wait to hear the result and hope it is a complete new sound, because Nadine's debut album is such a great vehicle [...]
