Karen O Covers Willie & Waylon We first heard Karen O settle into a low-key country tune with last fall's Roger Alan Wade-penned Jackass theme "If You're Gonna Be Dumb, You Gotta Be Tough," but here she is taking on a classic: "Mammas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys," a late-'70s hit (written by Jack and Patsy Bruce) for outlaw-country greats Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings. O's eery, forlorn cover arrives as the soundtrack to "Abandon," a short video spot for Chipotle's new American farming support organization, [...]

Oh, how my tenuous heartstrings are pulled by this beautiful, stripped down cover! Lykke Li, who sultrily snarled her way through a pack of sex-laden tracks on her most recent album Wounded Rhymes [...]
Download producer Glowbug's new covers of Pixies, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Radiohead, and the Smiths!
Electric Flower , the new band featuring Josh Garza and Imaad Wasif , will release their debut EP on November 8th on Narnack Records. The self-titled EP will be released digitally and on limited (500 copies) foil stamped, red 10-inch vinyl. Electric Flower had a most unlikely of beginnings. The first time they met, Josh Garza and Imaad Wasif were strangers in an elevator in London. Garza was carrying his kick drum and Wasif had his guitar in hand. They were at the BBC Studios to film performances on [...]
I was about to go out the door and was sorting my way through the submissions mailbox and this made me stop in my tracks, not leave, and write about it immediately. I found something I really like from a band I've featured before . It turns out today Glowbug released an EP of covers for free, called Covered In Lights Vol. 1 on Bandcamp. It is awesome. It's just four songs but what a great four songs to pick. The tracklisting is as follows: 1. Where Is My Mind (By Pixies) [...]
Click image to download full album Sounds like: Le Tigre, Hot Chip, Crystal Castles, Peaches "CSS - La Liberacion" What's so good? I've probably spent hours mindlessly jumping around to CSS's self-titled debut. Their second album, Donkey , kept up the energy, even if big hits failed to emerge. But the latest, La Liberacion , is something of a ghost of the [...]
Good to have some more local Minnesota talent, this time it's not even that hip-hop we always seem to be throwing your way. This time I am pleased to introduce Caroline Smith and the Goodnight Sleeps. This band, in my mind, comes out as a mix of Florence + the Machine and the Yeah Yeah Yeah's. In the featured song specifically, it's starts with Caroline's soft, sweet vocals and builds with strong
Murmurs starting surfacing of Karen O's psycho opera, Stop The Virgens , a few months back. However, details were kept to a minimum leaving curious imaginations to run wild. Karen O, best known as the front woman of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs , and her for audacious fashion statements, has never been shy expressing her true self. Musically, she has received Grammy and MTV VMA nominations for her work with the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, scored tracks for feature [...]
MNDR is the electronic duo of Amanda Warner and Peter Wade. Amanda writes the songs, takes on most of the personality of the band and is often featured as the solo participant during live performances. Peter provides the studio crunch and produces most of the tracks. Either way, they've released some pretty awesome pop jams over the past year or so. The MNDR sound lies somewhere between the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and M.I.A. Amanda is as good of a singer as Karen O. and has as much energy and [...]
Los seguidores del grupo Yeah Yeah Yeahs recordaréis que a finales de julio os contábamos como su vocalista, Karen O , se embarcaba en un nuevo proyecto y confirmaba su colaboración en el llamado The Creators Project, una serie de eventos que tendrán lugar en Nueva York y que verán el estreno de la primera ópera de la surcoreana. Lo único que sabíamos es que iba a ser dirigida por Adam Rapp, un novelista y escritor norteamericano que ha dedicado sus últimos años a trabajar para la televisión y el cine, aunque hoy, [...]
Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News KK Barrett If we had a better handle on our gambling problem, we'd bet good money that Karen O 's "psycho opera" is going to be a touch weirder than Paul McCartney 's new ballet. In a statement, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs frontwoman shed some light on the upcoming production, which will kick off on Oct. 12 at Brooklyn, N.Y.'s St. Ann's Warehouse and [...]
Hold on tight, Karen O of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs is getting ready to unveil a psycho-opera this October in NYC's own Brooklyn. Part of The Creators Project , the opera, titled Stop The Virgins , will run at St Ann's Warehouse from October 12-22. Stop The Virgins features songs by Karen O and musical direction from bandmate Nick Zinner and Sam Spiegel (Squeak E. Clean of N.A.S.A.). Others involved in the project include members of the Greenhornes/Raconteurs, Money Mark, Yeah Yeah Yeah's drummer Brian Chase, and actress Lili Taylor. [...]
After musical undertakings ranging from her day job as the Yeah Yeah Yeahs frontwoman to making wild music for Spike Jonze , last month Karen O revealed her weirdest work to date: a "psycho-opera" . Now, courtesy of Pitchfork , the intriguing and frightening endeavor gets fleshed out with further details, and to no one's surprise, this one's a doozy. The opera is titled Stop the Virgens and is a collaboration between Karen O and design director KK Barrett. As previously reported, The Creators Project will be producing, with Pulitzer Prize finalist Adam [...]
Basing your name on an abortion joke probably isn't the best move in the world, but if you like Los Campesinos with added Robots In Disguise then this is a band for you. Larceny & Old Lace is the third album by this all-girl quintet from Atlanta, however you'll be pleased to know that despite being aro... Read more..

El cineasta que también hace música, anunció que su disco debut se publicará el próximo 8 de noviembre bajo el título de "Crazy Clown Time" . Un nombre tan cinematográfico y extraño como no podría ser de otra manera viniendo de ese genio llamado David Lynch . Si bien ya escuchamos "Good Day Today" hace poco, seguramente en el disco nos encontraremos con cosas mucho más interesantes de las obsesiones musicales del señor Lynch . De entrada, la colaboración con Karen O de los Yeah Yeah Yeahs en "Pinky's Dream" [...]
O cineasta norte-americano David Lynch ( Cidade dos Sonhos , Twin Peaks e outros) finalmente terminou seu álbum solo de electro-pop experimental. Crazy Clown Time , como foi batizado (com o toque de bizarrice já esperado de Lynch), tem participação de Karen O , vocalista do Yeah Yeah Yeahs , na música Pinky's Dream , a faixa de abertura do disco. O envolvimento do diretor, escritor e artista plástico com a música não é de agora. Lynch começou a colaborar com projetos musicais nos anos 80, inclusive para as trilhas-sonoras [...]
The great auteur / painter / furniture designer David Lynch has finally announced a debut solo LP, following the release of singles "Good Day Today" and "I Know" last fall. Dubbed Crazy Clown Time , his 14-track set includes the aforementioned songs alongside the title track and other wonderfully Lynchian-titled tunes, such as "The Night Bell With Lightning," "Strange and Unproductive Thinking," and "Pinky's Dream." Best of all, perhaps, the latter track features guest vocals from "Psycho-Opera" singer/Yeah Yeah Yeahs frontwoman Karen O. In keeping with his longtime hands-on work ethic, Lynch produced [...]
Trent Reznor , el líder de Nine Inch Nails ha compartido un adelanto de la música que está componiendo para el filme "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" . El track aún no tiene título y es una colaboración instrumental entre el artista y Atticus Ross , su colaborador de cabecera. Recordemos que hace poco Trent publicó una canción previa (un cover de "Immigrant Song" de Led Zeppelin junto a la cantante de Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Karen O). Ambas canciones pertenecen a la mencionada película dirigida por David Fincher , quien realizara The Social Network [...]
