Another year, another great crop of songs. Some of you might be surprised to see a handful of radio smash hits on here, but I'd be lying to myself and you if I didn't include them in a list of my favorite songs of 2012. There's a Spotify playlist (with a few extra songs) to [...]
Even though MTV doesn't really play them anymore, music videos have had a strong resurgence these past few years thanks primarily to services like YouTube and Vimeo. In addition to monetizing their visual content, artists have been able to reach and therefore gain more fans through a medium thought to have killed the radio star. It has also led to some huge leaps in technology as seen in Chairlift's incredible video for "Met Before". Director Jordan Fish and his team essentially allowed the viewer to choose their own adventure (remember those books?) and create a new experience each time [...]
The first week in our 2012 Annual Report has come to an end. But what an end it is: our Top 50 Songs of 2012. For this list, we took into consideration the tracks that not only spoke to the year, but each respective act's ability to grow and engage their mind, genre, and sound. That might sound spiritual and what have you, but okay, maybe you're not a fan of dreamcatchers and stuff. Whatever. Feel free to let us know what you think, including some tracks you'll take into 2013 with you. Also, stay tuned [...]

The last time we saw what Converse had in store with their Three Artists One Song series we got the highly-anticipated "DoYaThing" , a killer track [...]
Sorry for not having the music singles chart last week. It was due to being in Toronto for CMW 2012 . Here is a double bill of the chart. In chart #101, there was no change in the #1 spot but there are debuts of acts that impressed me at CMW. But Cousins spends #1 for the second week. In chart #102, things are changed since the release of the new Japandroids single. I had to make it #1 this week. There are new debuts from Best Coast and Beach House. [...]
Wow! This is #100 on the music singles chart! The #1 single that takes it, goes to Halifax's Cousins with their song Jules. Jules is taken from the upcoming album The Palm At The End Of The Mind . There are two new debuts from Advance Bass (Formerly known as Casiotone for the Painfully Alone and D'Eon. Check out chart #100! This Week Last Week Total Weeks Artist [...]
Here is this week's music singles chart for the week ending March 11 - 17. It is no surprise with the new single by Beach House from the upcoming album " Bloom " out on May 15, 2012. Everyone is all in a tizzy and which is why it is this week's #1 song. There are new debuts from Said The Whale and Lemonade. Next week will be #100 and who will have the 100th #1 song? Check it out.

Sonaba demasiado bueno para ser cierto, pero así no más fue. Como parte del proyecto Three Artists, One Song de Converse, el estudio del multitasking Damon Albarn recibió ni más ni menos que a James Murphy (ex LCD Soundsystem) y André 3000 (mitad de OutKast). En tres días de improvisaciones y juegos con sintetizadores, pianos y distintos otros instrumentos, al final se hizo la luz. La canción quedó con créditos a Gorillaz y se llamó "DoYaThing". Puedes escucharla y bajarla legalmente directamente desde aquí . Si quedas con gusto a poco, en esta página puedes [...]
Yes, cartoon posses count.Throw a bunch of hot-sixteen spouting knuckleheads and/or fellow-traveler musos together over top of a beat or backing track, and you've got a recipe for awesome sauce, or a
Outkast’s Andre 3000 , LCD Soundsystem ’s James Murphy and Blur ’s Damon Albarn are all in one room. Genius ensues yes? Need I write more? Yes. It would be rude not too. ‘Do Ya Thing’ is upbeat and full of quirkiness. No, it’s not a ‘Clint Eastwood’ or a ‘Dare’, it’s more of a ‘Stylo’ ( review here ) in my eyes. No, it hasn’t got Bobby Womack in his immense coolness, but it has got a rhythm that will have your toes tapping at an alarming rate. [...]
Have you ever wondered what it might be like to room with the Gorillaz ? In the video for "DoYaThing," the track that Damon Albarn recorded with LCD Soundsystem 's James Murphy , and OutKast's Andre 3000 for Converse's Three Artists. One Song feature, you can see exactly what it's like, and it's predictably not the greatest scenario ever. The animated band's frontman, 2-D, awakens and stumbles around the house, which seems to be existing in the aftermath of some crazy party, or perhaps that's the state the place [...]
Gorillaz have released their new single 'DoYaThing' as a free download. The track is a collaboration with OutKast's Andre 3000 and LCD Soundsystem's James Murphy. The Official Video was uploaded on YouTube few days ago and has already much more than mio3 views. Free Download: Gorillaz featuring Andre 3000 & James Murphy - Do Ya [...]
So Converse decided to take 3 artists (who seeming have nothing in common) and link them up on one song. A successful idea which has lead to a very successful track and now one successful video featuring some incredible animation. After you watch the video, you can scoop up the track for free on the Converse web site .

“I’m looking for something that’ll… break through. You know?” James Woods’ Max Renn yearns in David Cronenberg’s 1983 cult classic Videodrome . Oh, how things have changed. In today’s day and age, we’ve already drowned in media. It’s swallowed us. We’re nothing but a bubble amidst one infinite, engulfing abyss. Intimidated? You should be. With each passing second, you’re losing opportunities to take advantage of a culture that’s moving ahead and at an exhausting rate. You could very well be alone… left behind… abandoned. Terrified yet? Yes? Well, that’s more like it. -Michael Roffman [...]

Gorillaz have released a new CG animated video to go along with their Converse-curated collaboration, "DoYaThing." The video is pretty much an average morning for the animated band's front man 2D. Every inch of this video has hidden visual gems that reference the band's bizarre reality. It also features a masked man popping up in random areas meant to resemble Andre 3000. The scene where he is introduced he is having his sweat collected for some fantastically weird unknown reason. You’ll definitely want to watch it more than once just to see all the bizarre artwork and references hidden within [...]
So just a week after giving you the latest Converse collab song ( Gorillaz , James Murphy , Andre 3000 ) the animated/live-action video is now out. As expected, this is very well made and features a ton of Plastic Beach references. This apartment looks like such a drag. Gorillaz, James Murphy, Andre 3000 - “DoYaThing”
