Little Boots has delivered us  a new track, " Motorway " and announced a new record, " Nocturnes ." Nocturnes comes out on May 5th. Motorway can be downloaded for FREE via her site HERE .  The thing is... I adore Little Boots, really I do. I lover her first record and all the EP's that came before and after it. I am just super confused about this new song and imaging. I feel some-what skeptical and every time I hear (or see this imaging) I think more [...]

Truth is, David Bowie doesn't do anything half-assed. If he's going to do something, its going to be fucking perfect & fucking eclectic. The man is still flawfree and full of the amazing charisma and passion he always had. He does not miss a beat. The newly directed video from  Floria Sigismondi  for his new song, "The Stars (Are Out Tonight)" carries the same flare as all his predicesors. Press play and see how it's done and learn from the best. You might recognize a few others from the short film. Watch [...]

Phoenix is back and obviously still flawless. Entertainment is their new song and I love it. I like that they tried this "fanmade" lyric video thing, but bring on the big guns please. Can't wait to see them again at Coachella. Their new long one, Bankrupt drops on the 22nd of April. Listen to Entertainment below... xxxo  [...]

UHM where have I been? Jamie Cullum 's new record was produced by Dan The Automator??? I am so excited and happy about this news.

• Usher Raymond Music - Go Missin'

I know this ain't no  Sexy Back , but its still damn good for what its worth. This video should have been released a month ago though, I fear it may be too late. I keep saying this, but no one listens, release the videos first. Anywhooo, watch mister Justin Timberlake shake his fine ass in his new video for, Suit & Tie, which was directed by non-other than the legendary Fight Club director, David Fincher .   Timberlake STILL has [...]

The brilliance of The Weeknd is never underestimated by me. However, I wish he would release a FULL LENGTH of new material. Instead, he released the Trilogy,   a triple record of previously released music, with the exception of THREE new songs, this being one of them, the other Valerie and  Till Dawn (Here Comes The Sun) . You can purchase all these tracks as a whole or individually HERE on Amazon. [...]

This video is shit and this song is lame. Rihanna is also pissing me the fuck off after getting back with Chris Douchehead so I am automatically over her bullshit. But, feel free to decide for yourself. Didn't Britney do this in  "Everytime"?   Didn't Gwen Stefani do this in "4AM" ? Didn't Sophie Muller direct that too? PS: I hate your lame star ear tattoo.  [...]

The James Blake , who I have loved from day one, is back with a new single, "Retrograde." The new song comes from his forthcoming long-one, "Overgrown"  which drops on April 8 through Republic Records overseas, no word yet on the US of A arrival. He just dropped this hauntingly amazing video to accompany it.  I CAN NOT WAIT FOR THE NEW RECORD.  [...]
