I ain't gonna blow it up but if things go the way they look like they might, cats is gonna be REAL surprised at what label Pill eventually signs to. I might not be known for gossip but I've called some major stories correctly and EARLY in the past and not gotten the credit, so pay attention! Try it before you buy it: [...]
By DL and Frank Phosphate FRIDAY Mary Anne Hobbs / Blixaboy / Pandai'a / Royal Highnuss /VJ S (eye) Plus Unified Minds /Gallery Cat/ MC Astro / Bodega Brothas (Outside) (Green Elephant): Pretty big catch for Dallas to have such a prominent figure of both Dubstep as well as the BBC here all the way from London. Hobbs played music by Wanz Dover's Blixaboy project on her influential show, which is what eventually led to this event, and it's good to see [...]
It's time once again to highlight some the hip, indie music that soundtracks ads from cars, beers, phones, to climate change (you didn't think the indie rock in commercials trend was going away, did you?). So for all you Hulu / DVR watchers that are missing out on all the joys of live television, here's a few of the best songs that creative departments and ad agencies are harvesting for mass consumption. MP3s and link to video included. Cadillac: Watch Commercial I'd be willing to venture a guess that this is the most played [...]
Generation Star Wars by Alec Empire 1994, Mille Plateaux, 13 tracks at 1 hr, 13 min. Listen Buy CD RATING: 46 out of 50 L'enfant terrible of German techno, Alec Empire is a man who is very apt at displaying the polarities of his mother culture. Like East and West Germany, Empire's music is likewise split into opposing factions. He can be stoically ambient, removed of any feeling but fear [...]

by chris carpenter Alright. Somebody has to talk about this. I'm down. If you happen to live in or around New York City, there's an unavoidable force majeure with every passing car. "IN NEWW YOOoooorkkkk." The frequency hits you full blast as the car is by your side, and drowns out as it zooms by. You think you're safe until you reach the end of the block and the bar on the corner is in full symposium, "These [...]
There's something about that damn city. While watching the above clip of my wife debuting part two of "Empire State Of Mind" last night during a live performance in Tribeca, I began to reflect on what made New York so great to so many. After much reflection (about 12 seconds), it dawned on me that unlike many cities NY spins well. New Yorkers are a proud people. Proud of damn near everything. Big, small, good bad, name it. If it's New York, it's sacred. So much so that we'll one-up you on your flaws [...]
¿Cuántas de las veces desahogamos un sentimiento a través de una canción? Podría decir que la mayor parte de mis momentos y pensamientos son acompañados por una canción y estoy seguro que los de ustedes también. Amor, tristeza, alegría, enojo, placer y todos los demás estados de ánimo podemos reflejarlos a través de una canción, es increíble cuando en ese justo momento escuchamos una canción que nos va perfecta y eso es lo que con Nokia Music Store podemos hacer, seleccionar de entre millones de canciones, la que vaya perfecta para el soundtrack [...]
Allah says that when the Trumpet is blown for the Resurrection, and the people rise from their graves,there will be no kinship among them that day, nor will they ask about one another, meaning that lineage will be of no avail on that Day, and a father will not ask about his son or care about him. And no friend will ask a friend about his condition, though they shall be made to see one another, meaning no relative will ask about another relative, even if he can see him and even [...]
Known for his highly literate lyrics on his solo work, along with his time spent in the Auteurs and Black Box Recorder, Luke Haines has a new album out called 21st Century Man . Jarvis Cocker's oddly priapic solo release this year, Further Complications , was mostly disappointing, but for those looking for a witty, smart and musical Cocker-like album for 2009, they should definitely check out Mr. Haines' new work. Neil Young wrote Southern Man as an anti-slavery missive about the American South, and with his new album, Haines [...]

Alicia Keys has a surprise up her sleeve, just like Mariah. Beyonce is going to duet with Alicia Keys on a track on her new album The Element Of Freedom. The song is called "Put It In A Love Song." Also, the track track listing is out. Click below for it. 1. The Element Of Freedom (Intro) 2. Love Is Blind 3. Doesn't Mean Anything 4. Try Sleeping With A Broken Heart 5.

Who would've thought that the first David Lynch film since 2006's nightmarish Inland Empire would be a film about Beatles guru Maharishi Mahesh Yogi ? Well, given Lynch's curious film career and more recent interest in Transcendental Meditation , it doesn't seem too crazy of a proposition. The director will be traveling to India in December to begin production on what may very well be a documentary on the late meditation guru, who passed away of natural causes in 2008. The Maharishi became prominent in western culture in the late 1960s, soon after The [...]
It's like we're taking shelter in the basement as the Alicia Keys media blitz tornado tears through the backyard. The piano-friendly pop star released her video for "Try Sleeping With A Broken Heart" earlier this week, and last night she hit up Dancing With The Stars to shill the new single. Leona Lewis performed on the show, as well. Rap Radar also posted the tracklist for Keys' upcoming album The Element Of Freedom , which includes a Beyonce appearance on the tune "Put It In A Love Song." But is [...]
Some artists are more than merely great. There are some artists that for a period of years, a period that is finite, consistently produced music that, it can be argued, far exceeded the work of their peers. For that brief period of time they were definitely Masters of the Form. "Yeah people come up." -- Rage Against the Machine, "People of the Sun" It's an unlikely invitation from an unlikely source. In 1992, Rage Against the Machine had stormed onto the music scene with the finesse of a class five hurricane. Their self-titled debut album played like [...]
The idea that Earth has been visited by aliens at some point in the distant past is not a new one. In Sumer, the alien Gods were known as the Anunnaki. While in Greece, they are known as Annodoti and in the Celtic lore, the Tuatha de Danaan. Tthe Semetic scriptures (Torah, Talmud, Old Testament, and other Apocryphal texts like the Book of Enoch), call them The Nephilim, The Sons of God, or The Watchers. We are told the gods themselves had their own monarchy, with laws of succession similar to our own, and they built a [...]
Dave Eggers' debut novel A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius almost lived up to its hyperbolic title and he did put the fun back into philanthropy (More like funlanthropy right? Where my high fives at?) so the dude is almost impossible to hate. And that's taking into account the self-importance, the self-righteousness, the holier-than-thou stable of writers that is McSweeney's and his hand in the most unashamedly hip film ever. You'd think he'd grow complacent with his varied achievements but when he's not penning scripts with his [...]
"You were there when Jimi played the flaming guitar?" ... "You saw MJ at Motown 25?"... "You saw Patrick Wolf and Florence at the Palladium?". The last one may not yet warrant inclusion in the upper echelons of music history, but Patrick Wolf will eventually be remembered as one of our generation's true talents. Friday night's homecoming concert at the London Palladium was simply outstanding. Wolf's talent has always been prodigious, but the auditorium had an unmistakable air of "happening" - it was pitched as an unmissable, one-off performance, and lived up to expectations. Patrick Wolf [...]
