Brooklyn's very own Dirty Projectors debuted their very first tv performance yesterday night on David Letterman , performing "Cannibal Resource" . I was very lucky to catch them live a couple months ago and highly recommend going to their shows.
Madonna has a reason to celebrate, which is why she is releasing her greatest hits album containing 36 of her hit singles including the about-to-be-hit "Celebration" . This video looks pretty good and the ediitng is amazing, however it looks really low budget. They could've added a little more something than just a black and white background to it. However the video edit of the song is so much better than the original in my opinion. Cameos in this music video include Madonna's own daughter Lourdes and Brazilian boy toy Jesus Luz . [...]
Interesting! Never thought something like this would happen soon. Saks.com and Marc Jacobs basically teamed up with Chairlift and provided free outfits for them to basically promote in their new little music video/advertisement " Planet Health ". I freaking love Marc Jacobs so that must've been cool. I'd wear every single thing in that music video! In a way I wish the video wasn't them standing in a spot playing music but more of them fooling around and having fun.
Finally, some new material from From , an indie pop sensation hailing from Beverly Hills. I've actually been hoping a song by them would be released soon, and here is an awesome Beastie Boys cover they did in French, titled " Fight For Your Right ". " It's both intimidating and fun to take on the Beastie Boys, so we made sure our version is very different from the original. It's in French, for one. We replaced the Deep Purple-style guitar riff with a New Order sound, layered a fuzzed out synth on the 4/4 beat of [...]
Okay, so we might all agree that Calvin Harris' latest album 'Ready For The Weekend' was not the best we heard of him, but that did not stop him from doing what he does best - making hot remixes. Here we have Shakira's "She Wolf" remixed by Calvin Harris, and he definitely knows how to throw a party on - it's one of the best remixes of Shakira's latest single. Shakira - "She Wolf" (Calvin Harris Remix) [...]
Electro-hip hoppers LMFAO have released the video for " La La La " which features the girls from the Parasido Girls . I'm not really into them that much but they have a lot of catchy tunes.
With a band name like Hockey , you would automatically presume they come from Canada. This is wrong; the rising band Hockey hails from Portland! They already have one of their singles featured on a JC Penny commercial, and now they're releasing the music video to their latest single, "Song Away ". Their debut album ' Mind Chaos' is being released 10/06 via Capitol Records. Hockey - "Song Away"
2 days ago Amy Winehouse appeared randomly at the V Festival, singing a planned duet with The Specials during their act. She belted out some lines to " You're Wondering Now" . This is her first (good) live performance in over a year, as she managed to have a 'comeback' show during a Jazz festival in St. Lucia in May, but stormed off the stage angrily in the middle of her set thinking she was boring the audience, and she was forgetting lyrics. Online [...]
I posted about Spiral Beach a while ago about their song "Dominos" . Now they have released the music video for it via Pop Matters . Their new record "The Only Really Thing is being released on September 22nd. Spiral Beach - Domino Download
A couple of days ago I posted "Into The Clouds" by Swedish band The Sound Of Arrows and you guys loved it! Here's the music video that was released along with the song.
One of VIKING's latest projects was to remix the ever so popular Swedish band The Sounds' single " No One Sleeps When I'm Awake "'. This is why I love VIKING ! He always seems to make remixes hotter than the original track, and I am psyched to know what he remixes next. For now this remix is on repeat! The Sounds - "No One Sleeps When I'm Awake" (VIKING Remix) Download
VV Brown has released the new music video for her next single "Game Over" off of her debut album which is out now titled 'Travelling Like The Light'. Did you know that Diddy tried to sign 25 year old VV Brown to his Bad Boy Record label? I'm really glad he didn't - or else I don't think I would appreciate her music as much if he did. If you haven't known, VV Brown has also released her own vintage boutique website called VV Vintage and you can visit it [...]
![[EXCLUSIVE] - The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart - "Higher Than The Stars"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1923650_lg.jpg)
I love the Pains of Being Pure At Heart . I'm not too into them, but into them enough to enjoy and appreciate their music over and over again. Actually, I was supposed to go to one of their free gigs while I was in New York, however when I showed up they were just finishing their show. Anyways, just this morning Pitchfork released the first listen of their new single from their upcoming and anticipated 4-song EP, titled "Higher Than The Stars", which is the name of both the single and the EP. And [...]
Oh no! Headlining at last night's C/O Pop Festival in Germany, someone cut short Patrick Wolf's set which caused him to have a little hissy fit on stage. He began to complain to the crowd, followed by a series of 'fuck', 'fucking', 'fuckers'. He then began to throw his mic, two mic stands, a piano chair and spit at a random woman on the side of the stage (who may not even speak English!) who he thought seemed responsible for cutting his set short. The woman just stood there and tried to avoid the items being [...]
Nacey (Andrew Wallace) put his spin on La Roux's "Bulletproof ". He teamed up with Matt Hemerlein as well to create this remix. The song starts out with mellow strings and piano notes, then quickly turned into a lyrical hip-hop sounding song (especially at the 3:26 mark). I definitely love this, it gives the song a different vibe to it. La Roux - "Bulletproof" (Nacey Remix) (feat. Matt Hemerlein) Download
I was never a fan of Scarlett Johansson's solo music, but whens she collaborates with Pete Yorn I get instantly captured. Pete sure does Scarlett some good - here's the music video to "Relator ". I don't know if this was filmed before or was just filmed since the song was recorded back in 2006. They actually look pretty adorable together, don't you think?
Here's Natasha Khan/ Bat For Lashes performing " Sleep Alone " live on Jimmy Fallon last night. Last week, she debuted her music video for "Sleep Alone" which can be viewed here .
It's pretty cliche to say that some of the best indie bands that emerge hail from Brooklyn, but it's true. Take The Drums , for example. The Drums, a 4-piece band (but credited as a 2-piece band in photos) recently broke out to the blog universe with their first single, "Let's Go Surfing" which is a 50's/60's enfatuated pop song with a modern twist. Basically, they're the male band version of VV Brown . Their debut EP, 'Summertime' , was released August 4th. [...]
When I first heard that Justin Vernond of Bon Iver announced his side project with his favorite band Collections of Colonies of Bees , naming them selves Volcano Choir, I was estatic. In fact, their debut LP "Unmap" is out September 22nd via Jagjaguwar. We finally have one of their finished tracks called " Island, IS" which shows the experimental side of Justin. Instead of his usual folk-styled guitar, the background music is just a loop of light, dreamy and soft notes. Justin Vernond is definitely taking his career to [...]
As you might (or might haven't) known, there were some pretty racy nude photos of Vanessa Hudgens that leaked back in 2007. Not even a week ago, a set of more of these photos just leaked for the second time with her posing topless, and she was just a minor both times. Why does this have to relate to Dane Cook being a douchebag? Watch the above video, a portion of the pre-taped Teen Choice Awards that did not make the cut (obviously!). Dane Cook is a douchebag because: [...]
