Did You Hear? :: Ch-ch-ch-check out the single cover art for Nicki Minaj and will.i.am's single, "Check It Out." It seems a tad unfinished, but we're still digging this artwork ten zillion more times than anything Bluewater Comics has ever come up with. [ Rap-Up ] :: Nicki Minaj will perform her first live solo performance on TV during the MTV VMA pre-show. [ Buzzworthy ] :: Snoop Dogg will release a sequel to his 1993 debut Doggystyle [...]

Filed under: Concerts and Tours , Video , Exclusive During the opening few shots of Keane 's new 'Clear Skies' video, it looks almost as if the Britpop band is on one of those soundstages that were popular sets for so-called "live performance" videos from the 1980s, complete with a backdrop featuring the band's logo on it. But then the camera cuts to a crowd shot and it becomes clear that the true backdrop for this video is a certain tree [...]

Het leven van een bijna-dertiger is niet makkelijk. Tijdens de middelbare school-tijd en de studententijd is het leven ongecompliceerd. Iedereen doet hetzelfde, er verandert weinig en de vooruitzichten zijn voor iedereen hetzelfde: slagen of afstuderen, over een paar jaar. Daarna wordt het snel anders. In het werkende leven is het ineens niet duidelijk hoe lang je op een plek blijft zitten en wie je collega's zijn. De onzekerheid slaat toe en terwijl je tijd steekt in het opbouwen van een relatie met je collega's kan het ook zomaar afgelopen zijn en is de collega (of jijzelf) zo weer [...]

Faccio coming out. Ho iniziato ad ascoltare Serotonin , terzo album degli inglesi Mystery Jets, all'incirca un mese fa, poco dopo la sua uscita, portandomelo da tutte le parti, lasciandolo in loop sia a casa sia sul lettore mp3. Non che sia sempre e necessariamente una cosa disdicevole, sia chiaro, ma oggi, dopo davvero numerosi ascolti di questo disco che, da titolo, si autoproclama all'insegna del summer party e dell'allegria, non riesco ancora ad associare ai suoi brani nulla di più profondo di una brocca di mojito di quelle che si ordinano sulla spiaggia per berne tutti insieme da [...]

Final mix for the month before the onslaught of September Chart Mixes begins . This mix is from CBEAT , who has sent us mixes on more than a few occassions. It opens with Primal Scream and then goes into a Capsule track! What more could we ask for? Well, a Cassian track we've never heard of (or missed?!?) and a very classy choice of tunes. Mixed together rather well too. Nice. CBEAT - Lazer Love mix [ Soundcloud Download ] [ Mirror ] [...]

No let up in great new music coming our way, here's the third and final 2010FM edition for August, that in our increasingly 'trade mark style' we will now gallop through. We are advised that featured track 'Winter Weeds' "contains all the ingredients that make Liam Singer 's music so utterly beautiful and unique. With its striking minimalism and melancholic romanticism, the track swoons and sways. Singer's piano and vocal interweave with the heavenly backing vocals of Boxharp's Wendy Allen, all topped off with Scott Solter's masterful production". The track is a [...]

I think we've mentioned a couple of times now about how we think LexiconDon are pretty rad and also how their label, Binary are also pretty cool guys. They've put out another single from their debut album and it's called 'Student Body'. Download - LexiconDon - Student Body Preview - As always, Binary have some of the hottest talent around on remix duties. First up is the newly formed team of Clancy & Build , [...]
Keane's Tim Rice-Oxley and Jesse Quin have teamed up to create a wonderful new side-project, Mt Desolation. They formed the idea in Dublin last year, and since then, the project has grown and grown. I got the chance to talk to Tim Rice-Oxley about the band's inspiration, working with such a diverse crowd of musicians, and their upcoming live tour and album
Years ago, in high school, my headmaster told me the French called pop music 'Yé-Yé music'. It wasn't meant as some cultural snippet but as a sneering put down. He was the same headmaster who blubbed to the local press when Neil Tennant wrote It's a Sin about his time at the same school. In other words, the man was a boring shit who hated pop music. And by dismissing Yé-Yé music, he missed out on something joyous. No wonder he was miserable. Here are two pop songs currently making me feel vindicated. [...]

We mentioned a bit ago how Villa had remixed that band Keane and how luckily there was a dub so you didn't have to hear the babyman thing who sings for Keane scrawking so much. That dub has now been made available as a free download!! Happy days! Download - Keane - Clear Skies (Villa Dub) [ M ] ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ Preview - I think this less Keane, more Villa formula is [...]
Guillemots frontman Fyfe Dangerfield may be treading a little too much in Keane territory for comfort, especially in the video below, but regardless: he scheduled a last minute show at Rockwood Music Hall in NYC TONIGHT (8/23). He was supposed to play shows here in January but cancelled for visa issues . I don't think he ever rescheduled, so this might be his first time here as a solo artist, and it's currently his only scheduled US gig. Continue reading "last minute Fyfe Dangerfield show [...]

The Belgian sky has a hard time deciding whether summer should officially be over or if it can go on for at least the rest of the summer holidays, but judging from this remix the clear skies will stay here for quite a bit longer. Before you start shrieking: "No way! It's Keane! I'm not listening to this", I'll tell you: It's Villa. And it's a dub as well, for that matter. Did you say you wanted .wav? Well, here you go. Keane - Clear Skies (Villa Dub) (ALT) [...]
