she ricochets, but you don't notice. she's in your head, you just don't notice. 'Ricochet', a spanking new Shiny Toy Guns track apparently taken from their MySpace , is absofuckinglutely incredible! whilst some listeners clearly don't feel the same way, i am personally lovin' it. it's darker, it's heavier and above all it's way more raw than their previous work so if you're expecting something similar, think twice. we like?

this party gon' get shut down real quick if you don't stop and listen! amidst all this news of an apparent Britney Spears comeback in the pipeline and a rare abundance of positive press for the former trainwreck (including 3 VMA nominations), i felt it would be appropriate to post an unreleased party thumper of hers which just missed the cut for 2007's 'Blackout'. warning: it's dirrty! love her or hate her, and i float somewhere in between, you can't deny that the world has a morbid fascination with this girl/woman/whatever. [...]
no-one would surprise me unless you do. surprise is right. that emotion pretty much sums up how i feel about Peter Bjorn and John's newly-released (or leaked, depending on who you speak to) track by the name of 'Inland Empire'. what's most surprising about it is the fact that the Swedes have decided to drop their tried-and-tested formula of sweet lyrics for nothing but instrumental. it's very different and to be honest i'm not sure if i'm liking it... Peter Bjorn and [...]
love is a time machine, upon the silver screen. it's here ! it's finally here and i'm liking it. no. i'm liking it a lot. it's very different but no matter - it's pretty great. in the words of the legendary Noel Gallagher himself, if it sounds "instant and compelling to you, it's because it was written dead fast". i'm very much looking forward to the release of 'Dig Out Your Soul' after having heard 'Falling Down' (which you can hear HERE [...]
fuck talkin' 'bout the recession - it's depressin'. "i like money bitch!". all of the above are lyrics from the hawt new Kanye West-produced Jay-Z track 'Jockin'. as you can see, said track is all about the more important things in life and not at all superficial. sarcasm aside, i think i'm really liking this money-centric tune. i mean, it even samples lyrics from Oasis' legendary 'Wonderwall'. plus i've always wanted to know what a combination of these two hip hop masterminds would sound like. [...]
out of the dark and into the light, when the morning comes i will be alright. The Coral are one of those rare bands i can never get sick of, no matter how hard i try. the Britsters will be releasing their 'The Singles Collection' (featuring rarities and a few new songs) on September 15. it slightly pisses me off when artists release best ofs or greatest hits collections only a few years into their careers but what can we do, eh? look out for new single 'Being Somebody Else' in a [...]
she said lick me like a lollipop. the chick in the piccie above who's trying a little too hard to be sexy is Madison and she has just come out with a rather interesting cover of Lil Wayne's massive hit 'Lollipop'. everyone's talking about it, including Perez Hilton which i am ashamed to admit was where i first heard it myself. prior to this cover i'd never heard of Madison (nor was i sure how i felt about it) but after visiting her MySpace i can conclude that bitch is indeed quite [...]
you'll be right here with me, i'll be right here with you. i've decided i don't post enough RnB. let's change that with this brand new Brandy single titled 'Right Here (Departed)', taken from her upcoming album due for release in November. Brandy is one of the rare RnB artists i actually like, and she has a great voice. aside from the fact that the single cover (and the font in particular) looks like it was made in 1998, this track has hit written all over it. [...]
time to kiss the world goodbye. the day we've all been anticipating for, well, months has finally come. that's right, today is the day that the brand new Oasis single was officially released on iTunes... and i'm not talking about the Chemical Brothers remix that's been out since July. this is the real deal, yo. i'm not 100% sure how i feel about 'Falling Down' yet so i'll let the music speak for itself. i think i love it but i still can't tell so let me know what you think and [...]
the season of the trust fund. Chantal Claret (Morningwood's hawt lead singer) gives me morning wood. i'm sorry, it had to be done/said. anyway, now that i've got that out of the way, i must confess that this band is actually fucking amazing. who doesn't love 'Jetsetter' or 'New York Girls'?! and now they've dropped some new material which, frankly, sounds a bit like Ashlee Simpson but in a good way. it might just find itself the new Gossip Girl theme song... [...]
ok so i may have used the same piccie in this post as i did in my previous Hype Machine-related post but to be honest there are severe limitations when it comes to jpgs which have anything to do with the site. i'll try to be more imaginative in future though, i promise. so currently holding down the number one spot on the chart is none other than Kanye West and Diplo with an absolutely crazy remix of the controversial 'Flashing Lights'. lovin' it! Kanye West - 'Flashing [...]

there is no mention of you, there is no mention of me. that slightly pissed off-looking mofo is the real Franz Ferdinand. what do you think - would he have made sweet music as well as the Glaswegian band? something tells me probably not. but he makes up for it with his awesome 'tache. anyway, here is the much-anticipated mp3 of the brand new FF track 'Lucid Dreams', courtesy of Pasta Primavera . if you're wondering what's up with the crappy quality and vinyl-ish sound of the recording (i [...]
there is no turning back. wow... i did not know that Natasha Khan (aka Bat for Lashes) looked like THAT and i mean that in the best way possible - she's a stunner! i may not be the biggest fan of her music but i do appreciate what she does and find her incredibly talented. often likened to Bjork, Kate Bush and Fiona Apple, she's been making music since as long as she can remember. look out for her new album coming soon (info still TBA). for now, though, here [...]

and when it comes to my valium skies, she don't mind when i cry. a few tracks from The Verve's upcoming album 'Forth' - set for release on August 25 - have begun to circulate around the interweb and so far, so good. i'd never really followed the band and the one of the only tracks by them i know is the one that everyone and their mother knows (yep... 'Bittersweet Symphony'). however, i've been so impressed by what i'm hearing that i might just (gasp) buy the new album. [...]
i got a brand new attitude, and i'm gonna wear it tonight. well this sucks. P!nk's supposed comeback track 'So What' stinks of desperation and "been there, done that". i'll probably get flamed for this but i'm just being honest: it's crap. i do like P!nk and her feisty attitude most of the time but i was expecting something a little different from her this time around. on top of that, i generally hate vindictive songs and that's all you get from this lame attempt at a comeback single. if [...]
you leave me broken, shattered, i lie. remember a few years ago when Franz Ferdinand's 'Take Me Out' was first released and everyone was all "ZOMG!!!111oneoneone" about 'em? well i was never one of those people. in fact, i never really bought into the hype until about a year ago and even today i don't count the band amongst my favourites. still, they've come out with a few decent tracks in the past and i can't say i hate listening to them. they have a new album on the way [...]
the eyes of the world are on you. who watched the opening ceremony of the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing on Friday? actually, let me rephrase that: who DIDN'T watch it? i read somewhere that some crazy amount of people tuned it to watch the show - something like 60 million in the US alone. insane stuff! the numbers don't surprise me though... the ceremony was fucking amazing after all. on that note, let's get this show on the road. here are some of my preferred tracks of [...]
moving to the city, fill my body with the poison. the new-ish Chemical Brothers track (featuring none other than Spank Rock) has been everywhere this week and i guess i've fallen for the hype. it's an okay kind of effort but nothing special. i have to agree with a lot of the people that say the guys have lost their "cool" factor - there's nothing WHOAH about this choon at all methinks. your thoughts? The Chemical Brothers - 'Keep My Composure [...]
