![[live] The Weeknd | Minglewood Hall | Memphis | June 21st](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4321217_lg.jpg)
This coming Thursday night, thanks to Minglewood Hall and the folks at AC Entertainment , Toronto recording artist The Weeknd will make a previously unscheduled stop in Memphis & I predict it will be a show to remember. Abel Tesfaye's been out on the road now for a minute & he's had an opportunity to work out the kinks of performing his deeply personal, empassioned songs in the live arena. When you consider that the man gave away three full mixtapes of new material [...]

![[video - nsfw] The Flaming Lips and Erykah Badu – The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4302616_lg.jpg)
Erykah Badu 's powerful and resourceful voice lends itself to the Roberta Flack classic, "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" as part of a collaboration with The Flaming Lips entitled The Flaming Lips and Heady Fwends released on vinyl for Record Store Day 2012. That's not actually Erykah naked in the tub, it's her lovely sister Nayrok.
![[new] The Very Best feat. M.I.A. & Santigold – Get It Up](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4300851_lg.jpg)
The Very Best 's new album MTMTMK will be out on 17 July. This tribally rhythmatic track (originally performed by just M.I.A. and Santigold ) entitled "Get It Up" has gotten a terrific re-imagining from Esau Mwamwaya and Johan Hugo (Johan who is half of production team Radioclit ). Ebede ?
![[new] Laetitia Sadier – Find Me The Pulse of the Universe](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4300624_lg.jpg)
Laetitia Sadier , late of Stereolab and Monade , is delivering what is called her "first true solo album" entitled Silencio , due July 24th from Drag City. If this song, "Find Me The Pulse of the Universe" is indicative of what's to come, we're definitely looking forward to hearing the full record. Laetitia Sadier - Find Me The Pulse of the Universe
![[post-dubstep + video] The Mast – UpUpUp](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4298479_lg.jpg)
Brooklyn duo The Mast have released a new remix EP for their latest single entitled UpUpUp via their Bandcamp page. Calling themselves "post-dubstep", the pair rely heavily on early IDM influences to generate their complex and lush yet lugubrious sound. Check out the video for "UpUpUp" which features LA performance artist & dancer Pandora Marie . THe Mast - UpUpUp
![[new] Ellie Goulding – High For This (The Weeknd Cover)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4295982_lg.jpg)
Brand new from Ellie Goulding comes a stirring Xaphoon Jones -produced cover of The Weeknd 's "High For This". Yep.
![[French House - Al Green Sample] Grand Am – Power Of Love](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4295860_lg.jpg)
Sometimes it's the simplest of remixes that can turn a party inside out, and this one doesn't try to be anything it's not. It's not really as if Grand Am did something that far out of the box here - they sampled a chunk of "Love and Happiness" by Al Green (and Willie Mitchell ), reworked it, added a banging house beat to it, and there you go. I figure this is going to rip up a few dance floors now that it's been uncovered. [...]
![[Memphis Hip Hop] Preauxx – Puttin’ Work](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4295245_lg.jpg)
On first listen, if a song makes you get that scrunched up - something stinks - squinty eyes - head shakin face ... and its uncontrollable, you might have a banger on your hands. For the second installment of his Mockingbird Mondays series, Preauxx releases Puttin' Work on which we hear him pick up the pace a little from his previous work. He flexes all over this new track from producer Alexander O'Dell . Preauxx is one the of the most talented [...]
![[video] Chromatics – These Streets Will Never Look The Same](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4293379_lg.jpg)
Chromatics have released yet another video today from their ambitious and widely-acclaimed album Kill For Love . "These Streets Will Never Look The Same" was directed by Alberto Rossini, and make sure you wait around for the very end for a very subtle tribute to the late Donna Summer . If you haven't checked it out yet, be sure to download and listen to the drumless version of Kill For Love available by clicking here .
![[Remix!] Foster the People – Call It What You Want (Ron Flieger Remix)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4290513_lg.jpg)
Finally!! A Foster The People remix!! We have been waiting soooo incredibly long for one of these to come along , haven't you? Feel free to call this what you want, but it's obviously a remix of a Foster The People song. The duties were performed by Ron Flieger who appears in that extraordinarily stupidly large photograph above these drawn out phrases and descriptors that validate the purpose of the process. Uh, well, actually, it's the same size as all our pictures are, but I'm not sure [...]
![[Remix!] Chromeo – Tenderoni (Codes Big Boom Remix)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4284822_lg.jpg)
Have there been very many songs as infectious as Chromeo 's now-classic "Tenderoni"? Reimagining Dave 1 and P-Thugg inna Big Boom stylee is one of BK's finest up-and-coming remixer/producers, Codes . No matter what I came here to do, at least originally, I am now gonna post up this remix. You do the rest, playa.
![[new] SBTRKT – gamelena](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4283987_lg.jpg)
A brand new instrumental track from SBTRKT appeared today, entitled "gamelena" . A note from the super producer states, "back in the studio. working towards eps/ album/ etc.... something new - no plan for it - just thought id share". Check it out below.
![[electro-pop] IntotheNorthSea – First Flight](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4283499_lg.jpg)
Having been barricaded in a library for the last week with headphones glued on my head I have noticed a few tracks which rarely fail to cut through the gloomy murk of frazzled concentration. IntotheNorthSea wrote one of them. "First Flight" is the bonus track from the self-titled debut which these local youngsters released in October last year. The lyrics dance from the beach to the sea where held hands and eye contact all linger in a way that only a teenager [...]
![[Hip-Hop] House Shoes – Sweet feat. Danny Brown](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4282063_lg.jpg)
LA hip hop/producer/beatmaker DJ House Shoes , aka "One Who Does Not Fuck Around", is back to represent. Shoes comes at us today with a new track from his EP The Time featuring that beast master Danny Brown once again delivering pain for your dendrites that won't let them spark right. Sit tight, listen keenly.

New. Santigold . Diplo . Ok. Go.
![[Thursday Throwback] Junkyard Band – The Word](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4272233_lg.jpg)
The Junkyard Band was Def Jam's only go-go signing that I personally know about (there might have been others, but I have too much going on today to properly sit down and research it). The 123 they dropped way back in 1986 of "The Word" b/w "Sardines" is a blisteringly crunchy track you'll hear pop up from time to time in mixtapes, random live DJ sets or that you might just stumble over. It's funky, progressive, and extremely political; this is music that was meant to talk shit about the quality of life poor [...]
![[RIP] Donna Summer](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4272206_lg.jpg)
At one time in my life, Donna Summer was my everything. She was my first major musical crush as a kid. She was the first singer whose presence, persona and catalog of music reached through the speakers and spoke to me. She was half of the pioneering soundtrack that gave rise to EDM, and she lit up every room she entered with an unforgettable smile. Today, after a long battle with lung cancer, her body had to go while the things she helped to create in her spirit remained here. I try to take a [...]
