Last year, Fyfe Dangerfield's "When You Walk In The Room" grabbed hold of our attention and just wouldn't let go; and now the former Guillemots front man is taking out Girls Aloud's massive hit "Call The Shots" for a spin. Dangerfield takes Grade-A Britpop and gives it an acoustic heart, his voice soaring full of soulful peaks and melancholy valleys. It's a great, completely new look for one of the better pop songs of the last decade. Listen to and download the track below: Fyfe Dangerfield - "Call The Shots" [...]
You may remember Diamond Rings from last year's, deliriously catchy and sweet, "All Yr Songs" (if you don't, check it !). Well the dude's back (again) and will be releasing a new 73 single tomorrow called "Something Else" to preview his debut album, Special Affections , which is due out October 25 on Secret City. The Bowie-influenced 24-year-old Torontonian is backing "Something Else" with a cover of Milla Jovovich's "Gentleman Who Fell". You can download the A-Side track and stream the B-Side below: Diamond Rings - "Something Else" [...]
It's a happy day when a hip post-punk band like Klaxons covers the tour de pop force that is Lady Gaga's "Bad Romance". While not as saccharine and exquisite as Lissie's cover, Klaxons get the job done and the whispered parts are great - simultaneously funny and creepy. Listen to and download the cover below: Continue reading: Klaxons - "Bad Romance" (Lady Gaga Cover) Subscribe to the PMABLAST, a daily newsletter with free mp3s, music news and reviews sent directly to your email inbox.

Kanye West dropped another new tune over the weekend - "Lord Lord Lord" - for his ongoing G.O.O.D. Fridays MP3 series, in which Kanye has vowed to give away one free MP3 a week until Christmas. Quite noble, no? His nobility is still not in question on the latest G.O.O.D. Friday release. Like many other "GF" tracks, it's heavy on the guest spots. It's seven-plus minutes feature G.O.O.D Friday regular Charlie Wilson and his golden pipes, as well as two of hip hop's most respected names, Mos Def and Raekwon . Oh and [...]
Are you kidding me, Kanye? You have got to be pulling my leg here. Kanye West unleashed this "Monster" on his blog over the weekend as part of G.O.O.D. Fridays and I'm pretty sure a line has been crossed somewhere. Forget not knowing that this much epic could ever exist in one track - this much epic shouldn't exist in one track, it just makes everything else sound like a bag of crap. And you can take that to the bank In fact, take Nicki Minaj with you; she murdered the track [...]
In just a few days (this Sunday), Mixcloud.com will premiere our "Celebration of Curation" Mix for their month-long one year anniversary party. The mix comes courtesy of our multi-talented friend Brainbheats. Before the mix drops this Sunday, I want to put the spotlight on one of my favorite cuts from it, Childish Gambino's Grizzly Bear sampling "Bitch, Look At Me Now". Childish Gambino nee Donald Glover may not be a household name is, but I'm willing to bet you're familiar with his other projects. In recent years he's spent time in the writer's room for 30 [...]
Thomas Wincek of Collections of Colonies of Bees started a new band balled All Tiny Creatures, and their debut album called Harbors is expected later this year. If you recall, last year, Wincek and the rest of Collections of Colonies of Bees worked with Bon Iver leader Justin Vernon to become Volcano Choir . And now, Wincek has apparently called up Justin Vernon and asked him to led his legendary voice for Harbors ' lead single, "Iris". It seems like everyone is after Justin Vernon's unique set of pipes. Even Kanye West wanted a [...]
Pasadena's connoisseur of funky, sexy vibes, Dam-Funk has been making a lot of well documented noise for about a year now. These two songs, albeit only the tip of the iceberg, come highly recommended if you're into, like, jams and stuff. Jams is exactly what Dam-Funk specializes in, and his two latest contributions to the jamosphere do not disappoint in the slightest. First take in electro-funk-rap number "Hood Pass Intact", which is as incredible a song that you will hear all year long, I guarantee it. The song comes from an upcoming 12-inch and features legendary [...]
When Vampire Weekend producer, composer, songwriter, and sometimes vocalist Rostam Batmanglij remixed - under his remix moniker Boys Like Us - OK GO's "White Knuckles", he had only one thing in mind - to trick us into thinking this was a brand new Discovery track. Maybe it's the spine-breaking back breaks or the astute synths, but Batmanglij has done a terrific job spinning an admittedly mediocre track into a golden experimental indie pop number that made this guy earn for another Discovery album. And hell, now that both Vampire Weekend and Ra Ra Riot [...]
The Drums ' self-titled debut album may be out now digitally, but the physical release of the album won't be here until September 14 . Until then, The Drums are giving away "Down By The Water" - one more song off the album - to appease the fans that have held off thus far. Though the Drums call the ever-so-hip Brooklyn home, their charming, sunburned sound would make any Californian proud. It's quite surprising then to hear our summer-lovin' boys play a song like "Down By The Water", a 502s AM ballad with [...]
Brooklyn's wonderfully hypnotic (and possibly psychotic) Blondes have chopped Rihanna Spring 2010 earworm "Rude Boy" to high heaven on this remix. Also: 1,000,000 bonus eMusic points to those who can name the slippery Mariah Carey sample. This nasty cut is taken from a five-MP3 compilation called Autumn Feelings , which you can better grab here . Download the uber-hip Rihanna remix below: Rihanna - "Rude Boy" (Blondes Remix feat. Mariah Carey) [...]
To thank their fans for downloading and liking their new single, "Boy" off of their upcoming LP The Orchard, Ra Ra Riot are giving away a remix of the single, by none other than RAC, guaranteeing it to be awesome (it is). Grab the remix below, and then stream The Orchard in it's entirety. The album is due out August 24 on Barsuk. Ra Ra Riot - "Boy" (RAC Remix) Stream The Orchard via NPR : [...]
Compared to their last release, which featured cheeky vocal contributions from the vocalists of Yeasayer, Gossip and Hot Chip , "Nerve Salad" is at the opposite end of the big-time electro spectrum. The dark and cerebral thumping that make up "Never Salad" are taken from Simian Mobile Disco's upcoming mix CD, Simian Mobile Disco Is Fixed , the first release of a series of mixes. The inaugural mix CD will be released October 12, but you can download "Nerve Salad" below: Simian Mobile Disco - Nerve Salad [...]
This new Cudi and 'Ye joint is off of West's new G.O.O.D. Ass Mixtape . It sounds like some moody Cool Kids, if you ask me. In other Kanye news, Bon Iver says he recorded vocals for "at least ten" tracks with Kanye West, cuts that might make it to Ye's new album, possibly first single. Chew on that piece of awesome while you listen to "Wylin' Cause I'm Young" below: Kid Cudi x Kanye West - "Wylin' Cause I'm Young" [...]
This remix is by no means new, but it is the definition of fresh. We all know and love the original. Hopefully a lot of you have been enjoying Yael Naim's sugary cover for years now. But now, 16 Bit have brought it home. Their dubstep remix adds layers of sound that accent Naim's already fragile-sounding voice, making the cover sound like a music box that could break at any moment. We pray it won't, and the suspense is half the fun. This isn't the type of music you dance to, or even sing along to. [...]
Gobotron, the solo project from Manchester Orchestra guitarist Robert McDowell, released its debut album On Your Mark, Get Set... on January 19 via Favorite Gentlemen Recordings.

Surfer Blood may have already offered the lead-off track from their upcoming Kanine debut,Astro Coast, on Pitchfork's Forkcast earlier this fall, but this week the band is giving away "Floating Vibes" all good and proper. Just in time for the holidays, the fuzzy Floridian five-piece with one of the most anticipated records of 2010 wanted to give fans a little something extra before the year came
