Almost takes things back to the Reset EP in terms of cool, groovy, sun-soaked tracks

Great news for fans of Flying Lotus! As a special thanks for supporting his latest album Cosmogramma , he's giving away a special package of unreleased tracks called Cosmogramma Alt Takes . The collection contains nine tracks total that didn't make the cut for the actual album. But don't let that discourage you, every song on here is fantastic. The reason he chose not to include these songs was because many of them are alternate versions of songs that are already on the album, including extended and stripped mixes, as well as a remix from fellow Brainfeeder [...]

It sounded like shotguns being fired off all the time due to the ice cracking. This was one we found late in the season." The archway was spotted in the North Atlantic Ocean on the Grand Banks off of Newfoundland.

So Clemence and I (yes, I'm so self involved that I befriend individuals who share the same name as me) decided to try something different; Dusk Till Dawn in [...]

Music and a movie, anyone? Dengue Fever is performing at the Echoplex, and while there is no word on whether there might be popcorn, there will be a screening of the excellent documentary "Sleepwalking Through the Mekong," which chronicles the L.A. band's 2005 trip to lead singer Chhom Nimol's native Cambodia.

[Happy birthday to Yoko Ono, 76 years young. Not that she isn't getting birthday greetings from all over ...] Mystery Jets , the Syd Barrett-worshiping, 1980s-channeling quintet from London, are newly aligned with Rough Trade Records. Their "Twenty One" [video for "Half in Love With Elizabeth," above] was No. 8 on NME's top albums of 2008, though it was barely a blip on anybody's radar here, except maybe the Anglophiles who will visit Spaceland tonight for Club NME. ... Andrew Bird , with Loney Dear [...]
