Tiesto's new album Kaleidoscope is out now, and while you might associate Tiesto with massive trance anthems, the new album has a little something different going on that will broaden his audience further. Take for example the collaboration with Sigur Rós' Jónsi Birgisso which is a beautiful downtempo piece.Other collaborations on the new album include Bloc Party's Kele Okereke, Metric's Emily Haines, Tegan and Sara, and Kianna Alarid of Tilly and the Wall. You can win your very own copy of the CD by simply sending an email to: music [@] beatlife.net and telling [...]

I know this pic has nothing to do with fall; I just liked it. First and foremost the songs on this mix tape really have nothing to do with fall. They are just a compilation of songs I've been enjoying since the leaves started turning. I feel compelled to make this statement because someone will inevitably leave a comment calling bullshit on "Walkabout" being a fall song and demanding that it should be heard under the summer sun. I'm aware of this, but it turns out I also enjoy "Walkabout" in the fall. [...]

As anyone who has read Mary Coughlan 's new autobiography Bloody Mary will testify, no other woman has more right to sing the blues than she. A rollercoaster ride of child abuse, alcoholism and heartache, her thunderous lifestyle has often overshadowed the adroit musical career that put her in the public eye in the first place. Her latest album The House Of Ill Repute has earned her the best reviews of her career and harvested a whole new generation of fans. Exploring the seedy world of prostitution, pimps and burlesque, she will be showcasing her [...]

Viva Radio is one of the premier internet radio stations and to develop additional support, they're giving us a pretty extensive and comprehensive compilation dubbed Best Of Me + You and featuring a total of 57 tracks. Granted, some of the tracks are station IDs and band interviews from the various groups on the comp, but that still leaves a solid quantity of songs from a who's who collection of indie artists. And, to top it all, each song is an exclusive live take from Viva Radio's Me + You. [...]

Tiësto: Kaleidoscope Dutch producer, Tiësto has been DJing since the mid-80s. He started releasing albums in the 90s but it was not until this decade that his music began getting recognition.

Tiësto clear comes out of the trance culture that made Darude a household name. But Tiësto, also, has hints of other prominent electronic artists. Kaleidoscope [...]

Photography by Miki-Maddison A second Whip-It post in one week ?? Fuck yeah! Last time, we explored all things Juliette Lewis and had one hell of a good time doing it. Well, throughout the week, Baby's been listening to the soundtrack for the movie and after hearing a few gems off the compilation in the car with her, I had to grab this and listen to it proper myself! I gotta tell ya, this ain't [...]

The weather this weekend was nothing short of unpredictable and dismal. That being said, I decided to spend it indoors for the most part--specifically in a theater. Thoroughly entertaining and with a randomly appropriate soundtrack including Sea Wolf, Band of Horses, Metric, Lou Reed, The Black Keys, The Raconteurs, and Doves. View the whole soundtrack listing here . Though I still do not understand the score keeping in roller derby, the heavy influence of girl anthems [...]

Arguably one of the world's greatest trance DJs, Dutch producer Tiesto has continued to redefine the boundaries of trance music with his signature emotive style and arena-ready sound for over fifteen years. For his fourth major studio release Kaleidoscope , the premiere producer of trance sought some of the music scene's most dynamic characters, ranging from global superstars ( Calvin Harris , Sneaky Sound System , Nelly Furtado ) to an assortment of lesser known, left-of-center acts ( Tegan & Sara , Bloc Party 's Kele Okereke , Sigur [...]

Obviously we love interviewing the big names in music (Will Sergeant, anyone?), but we're always going to be partial to that new indie band that tickles our ears. London's My Sad Captains have been making great music for a few years now and deserve to be included in that Tuesday night DJ set that makes all the kids swoon. Ed Wallis has one of the best voices we've heard in years. Equal parts Lloyd Cole and warm chocolate syrup combine to smother you with a feeling that is familiar and delicious. The rest of the group (Nick Goss [...]

Saddle Creek knows a powerful female voice when they hear one. They helped launch the career of Jenny Lewis , have been the home to the phenomenal ladies in Azure Ray and their sister label Team Love boasts the gang vocals of the tap-dancing gals in Tilly and the Wall . The latest female-fronted band to join the roster, Land of Talk , is no different. Singer Lizzie Powell lives up to the legacy of the Saddle Creek gals. [...]

Drew Barrymore is kind of adorable. Jens Lekman? Also kind of adorable. So we thought maybe they already knew each other from some Secret Adorable People Club we weren't invited too, but at least we now know for a fact they can hug and the universe doesn't like explode into kittens playing with dangling objects or anything. Drew is directing the upcoming indie-buzz film Whip It that takes on roller derby culture, and apparently wanted a few of Jens' songs in the film so bad she flew him out to L.A. to talk about music [...]

We like Ellen Page. Something about her left of center/alternative looks and demeanor, her choice of movies with killer soundtracks, and the air of modesty works. That's why we're super stoked for her upcoming film and its corresponding soundtrack. Stoked. Whip It! , out October 2nd, sees Page play Bliss, a small town girl who is overburdened and overwhelmed by her demanding mother and her desires to see her child become a beauty queen. After a chance encounter with the sexy rascals of a nearby roller derby team, events are [...]
