Blog: What Became Of The Likely Broads

Thom Yorke is ditching the other guys in Radiohead for one night this summer and playing a solo show at the Latitude Festival in the UK. On Sunday, July 19, Yorke is set to take the main stage with a set that could be filled with either Radiohead tracks and/or songs from his acclaimed album "The Eraser". We will just have to wait and see.

Chairlift aka "The iPod Nano commercial song band" have taken their well known track "Bruises" and turned it into a video surveillance spectacular! Caroline even sports a plastic bag as her outfit of choice in several scenes. Its definitely quite a unique video...

Ok...can someone PLEASE explain this MGMT video? First off, the kid is going to be traumatized for life. Secondly, what the hell is WRONG with that car seat and last but not least, is this ONE video or TWO???!!!! It seems like they couldn't choose a concept (whatever it was supposed to be anyway) so they decided to go for two and then make them all tie together by making the baby a cartoon in the end. Just see for yourself...

Kid Cudi and Asher Roth have teamed up for what should be one of the best summer tours of 2009. Calling it "The Great Hangover Tour", Cudi and Asher Roth will be kicking things off on July 14th in Boston, MA and touring the country for the next month straight. Here are the tour dates: July 14 - Boston, MA - House of Blues July 15 - New York, NY - Nokia Theater July 16 - Mariaville, NY - Indian Lookout July 17 - Cleveland, OH - House of Blues July [...]

In 1965, The Beatles played the first ever show at Shea Stadium. In 2008, Paul McCartney played at Billy Joel's show for the last ever concert at Shea Stadium. Now, in 2009, Paul will be playing the first ever shows at Citi Field, the new home to the Mets. The shows will be on Friday, July 17 and Saturday, July 18...rain or shine! "I am really excited about playing Citi Field - The Beatles were the first to play at Shea Stadium and along with Billy Joel, I was [...]

Exene Cervenka, singer for the legendary band X has just released a statement that she is diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. "After some months of not feeling 100% healthy, I recently had some medical tests run and the prognosis is that I am suffering from Multiple Sclerosis. Apparently, it has been affecting me for quite some time. Although this is obviously unfortunate news, I am choosing to see the positive in it. I, and X as a band, have supported the Sweet Relief charity since the mid-1990's; the irony of this is [...]

Solid Gold are a band you may have heard of but just don't know...yet. Hailing from the Twin Cities (well, just Minneapolis actually...) the band have already made a splash in their hometown, practically selling out the legendary Fist Avenue club just a couple of weeks ago. Now they've got a video for their single "Bible Thumper", which is a catchy psychedelic rock track which gets compared to a cross between Hot Chip and Fleetwood Mac (a very daring combination I must say) and is just fantastic overall. Here is the video directed by [...]

Glasvegas and MySpace have teamed up to actually do something creative instead of the typical Secret Shows we are all used to these days in a certain city. Clearly playing off the Vegas portion of their band name, Glasvegas are set to do a performance at the Viva Las Vegas Wedding Chapel on June 3 (tomorrow) in Las Vegas. For more information or to possibly attend the show (if you get on line reeeeeeally early!) go to www.myspace.com/secretshows Should be a good one!

Leave it to Jonas Akerlund to create an absolute masterpiece with Lady GaGa for her new single "Paparazzi". Its got everything...sex, tradegy, a fallen star and a great comeback. Not to mention its shot beautifully and has will pretty much solidify a place for Lady GaGa forever in pop music. Not to mention the track is great on its own... On a side note, are the triplets that look like they were in Poison back in the day the 3 Swedish kids from Daisy Of Love? You need to watch [...]

Well, surprise surprise... Amy Winehouse cancels yet another gig?! Who would have thought... Amy was supposed to perform at Shepard's Bush Empire on May 31st as a part of Island Record's 50th birthday celebration. This cancellation comes after a horrendous performance earlier in the month in St. Lucia, where she only performed for an hour and forgot the words to most of her songs. Oh, and did I mention she seemed wasted on stage?! "Amy would like to apologise to her fans who bought tickets for the show," says a statement [...]

Its a sad day in the music world with the passing of Jay Bennett, who has died at the age of 45. A former member of Wilco, Bennett worked as a sound engineer and played instruments for the band from 1994 to 2001. "We are profoundly saddened to report that our friend died in his sleep ... Jay was a beautiful human being who will be missed," read a statement from Bennett's record label, Undertow Music Collective. You will be missed Jay...

It can't get any sweeter than The Kissing Party ! Their new single, 'King Graves Rd' and the video to go along it is just a simple day in the life of the band (with a cool split screen effect) that captures the band as much as it can in the span of two minutes... Their new release, 'The Hate Album', comes out this summer so stay tuned! For now, here is the video: Kissing Party - King Graves Rd. from Lee on [...]

Jay-Z is leaving the very place which launched his career, Def Jam Records. After securing a deal with Live Nation for a pretty penny (or more like a pretty set of millions) he's confirmed that he will not be recording another album for the label. The deal with Live Nation is for touring, publishing and recording...something these days a label just can't do. Next up, hopefully a new album...

Pete Yorn is back with a new video for his single "Don't Wanna Cry"...and it actually might make YOU cry. Its a beautiful song and a simple yet to the point video directed by one of The Malloys, which sees Pete looking back at an ex-lover. Here is the video:

The day just got a little better...because Kylie Minogue has just announced her first EVER North American tour! When "Can't Get You Out Of My Head" hit she did a few small radio appearances at Christmas shows...but it was never an ACTUAL tour. Kylie shows are always a production so basically what I am trying to say is it is going to be AMAZING!!! Here are the dates: Sep. 30 Oakland, CA (SF Bay Area) Oakland Fox Theatre Oct. 3 Las Vegas, NV The Pearl (Palms Hotel and Casino) Oct. [...]

Kid Cudi may be the most talked about new guy in hip-hop but that still doesn't give him all the power in the world. Reaching out to Lily Allen and Andre 3000 to collaborate with them, he got rejected. Here is his blog that explains it all: I ONLY HAVE 3 FEATURES FOR MY ALBUM WHICH IS MY BIG HOMIE SNOOP, KANYE AND COMMON. THE OTHER 2 ARTISTS I ASKED SO FAR TO BE ON MY ALBUM: LILY ALLEN AND ANDRE 3000, HAVE DECLINED MY REQUEST FOR A COLLAB. IT MADE ME REALIZE THO, [...]

Now, this performance could have gone horribly wrong...but Bat For Lashes AKA Natasha Khan pulled out an absolutely stunning performance. The performance happened the night of May 1 and I know I am a little late on it but it is just too good not to share.
