Earlier this week we heard a new remix of Rocko’s “U.O.E.N.O” by Black Hippy, the group consisting of Ab-Soul, Jay Rock, Kendrick Lamar, and Schoolboy Q. Now, Schoolboy Q has also released a new track of his own, "Hell Of A Night". Check it out below. Read More... [...]

Driving to the Sasquatch! Festival on Thursday I opted to skip out on I-90 from Seattle and instead drive way up north and take Route 2. It still gets you where you're going, but the traffic-congested two-and-a-half hour trip you get with 90 becomes an isolated six-hour journey if you choose Rt. 2. It's completely worth it considering what you get instead: over 100 miles of absolutely stunning forests. Bright spring weather shifts into snowy mountains, freight trains chug by, so long they seem to lack a beginning or end - the forest completely surrounds you. It's a real experience [...]

Kelly Ripa and Michael Strahan dedicated a few moments of Live! With Kelly and Michael to Daft Punk this week. Ripa brought out a copy of the new Rolling Stone with Daft Punk on the cover, before commenting, "They're saying it's the return of Daft Punk. First of all, I said to myself, 'Return of? I love Daft Punk! Where did they go?'" Kelly and Michael also talked about the Daft Punk-inspired helmets fans have been buying and making recently, before donning helmets of their own and dancing to "Get Lucky". Check out the clip below.

Last night, Baroness played their first show as a full band since a bus accident in England last August that injured every member of the group. It was also the band's first show with a new line-up : Nick Jost on bass and Sebastian Thomson on drums. Below, watch fan footage of the first song the band performed last night at Union Transfer in Philly, "Take My Bones Away". Frontman John Dyer Baizley recently spoke to Stereogum about his long recovery process. "This accident worked its way out on everyone on a different way," said [...]

Stone Temple Pilots are suing Scott Weiland. The band filed a lawsuit again him on Friday, claiming to have lost millions of dollars on the Stone Temple Pilots 20th anniversary tour because Weiland was late for shows and promotional events. “Enough is enough,” says band’s lawsuit. “Without relief from the court, Weiland will continue violating STP’s rights, misappropriating STP assets and interfering with the band’s livelihood.” Stone Temple Pilots recently fired Weiland and replaced him with Chester Bennington, the singer of Linkin Park. Below, read a letter that Weiland recently posted on his website. [...]

Em 28 e 29 de Junho 2013 voltam os sons do mundo ás ruas, vielas e praças do centro histórico de Loulé. Música, artesanato e gastronomia vindo um pouco de todo o planeta. O evento, uma organização da Câmara Municipal, assinala este ano a sua décima edição. O Reggae do jamaicano Anthony B , sobe ao palco da Matriz no segunda dia do evento.

Os cupcakes aparecem pela primeira vez mencionados num livro de receitas de 1828. Desde aí, evoluíram, tornaram-se mais requintados e cada vez mais imaginativos. Agora, há-os para todos os gostos: desde as pastelarias mais in às cozinhas mais amadoras. Veja as imagens. Ler o artigo completo [...]

One week ago, Kanye premiered Yeezus 's ferocious " New Slaves " by projecting his face onto buildings throughout the world. (He performed it the next day on SNL , too.) It was the best video of the week and you can watch it on the side of a building IRL tonight in these cities . The rapper's new music was Stereogum's most discussed topic this week, but you guys also had a lot to say about our Queens Of The Stone Age review , [...]

Fee Reega é uma mulher à procura do mistério. Nas suas canções, nas suas palavras, nos seus gestos, no seu olhar. Nascida na Alemanha, começou a sua carreira em Berlim e depois mudou-se para Espanha. Percebeu já tarde que queria seguir a música mas agora não tem qualquer dúvida: as canções estão-lhe debaixo da pele. O seu último disco, Salvajada / Wildheit / Savagery, foi editado em três idiomas diferentes (inglês, espanhol e alemão) e com o selo de três editoras internacionais. Diz que faz Problem Folk porque as suas canções falam de conflitos e expressam problemáticas. Aproveitando a sua [...]

Como cair no caldeirão. A história de Marques Toliver é fascinante: nasceu na Florida, estou violino clássico, mudou-se para Nova Iorque para mudar de vida, acabou a tocar com os TV on the Radio e os Grizzly Bear, foi elogiado por Adele e finalmente lançou um EP. Land of CanAan , o seu disco de estreia, transcreve sem tirar nem por a sua biografia, ilustrando-a e colocando-a em perspectiva. A proposta de Land of CanAan é a de fundir vários mundos distintos: a música clássica, a pop, a soul e [...]

The theatrical Swedish metal band Ghost B.C. have already shown that they have a way with the incongruous cover song; we posted their version of Abba's " I'm A Marionette " back in January. And apparently, the Japanese version of their new album Infestissumam includes a cover of Depeche Mode's gloomy 1990 synth ballad " Waiting For The Night " - which, it turns out, already has-kinda-metal lyrics, and which can be turned into a crunchy metal track without altering the music too much. Listen to the Ghost B.C. version below. Read More... [...]

If it seems as though we've been talking about the National's excellent new record Trouble Will Find Me for weeks now it's because we have. Even though the record was just released this week, fascination with the band and a buzzing curiosity about how they might follow up 20102s powerhouse High Violet have kept music writers (and our own comments sections) very busy over the past month or so. Initial reactions to the album have been largely positive, with our own Tom Breihan claiming that Trouble 's "soft, majestic intensity is [...]

Sweden's Shout Out Louds performed on last night's Leno to promote their album Optica . Following interviews with guests Tyler Perry and Isla Fischer, the band performed album cut "Walking In Your Footsteps." Check it out below. Read More... [...]

Na Oranienburger Straße, no centro de Berlim, existe um edifício centenário que assistiu ao passar da História contemporânea. Face à demolição iminente, o Tacheles foi ocupado em 1990 por um grupo de artistas que ali fez florescer um dos centros de cultura moderna mais activos do mundo e que ainda hoje continua aberto (e ameaçado). Até quando? Até amanhã ou até sempre. Ler o artigo completo [...]

I'm not sure if this necessarily qualifies as a career milestone for Grizzly Bear, since they've already been on a million TV shows. But maybe it's an indicator of how nebulous and meaningless the entire idea of indie rock has become: Grizzly Bear playing their fractured, floating " Yet Again " on Ellen , as Ellen DeGeneres, who apparently loves the band, gives free copies of Shields to everyone in the studio audience. They sounded good, in any case, and you can watch the performance below. Read More... [...]

We begin our discussion of the Faces, as we must, with "The Rod Conundrum" - one of the thorniest in all of rock and roll lore. Cue the ESPN 30 For 30 voice over: "What if we told you that Rod Stewart was once every bit as cool, dangerous, and desirable as Keith, Kurt, or Kanye ..." Well, It actually happened. And it was amazing. And then there was the rest of it. Read More... [...]

Last night, Portland's Keller Auditorium played host to Vampire Weekend. The band ran through hits from their first two albums and played a significant chunk of their excellent new record Modern Vampires Of The City . We sent Colin McLaughlin to check it out. [...]

Queens of the Stone Age shook the sold out Wiltern Theatre with a performance that was worthy of arenas. Unveiling a slew of tracks from their new album ...Like Clockwork , Queens deftly interjected older songs in with the newer material as you may have witnessed during the live broadcast for NPR. The whole concert is now on YouTube and you can watch below. In the live format, the new songs had extra layers of muscle and bone that Queens are know for providing. Them Crooked Vultures guitarist Alain Johannes did a handful of acoustic [...]
