New Party Systems is a new supergroup, featuring TV On The Radio's Kyp Malone and two current and former members of Liturgy, and their track "We Are" is an honorable attempt at creating an anthem for the Occupy Wall Street movement. The group doesn't show up in the video. Instead, starry-eyed Occupy sympathizers from around the world lip-sync the lyrics and generally show off the sort of fresh-faced idealistic glow that you only ever see at protests. Watch it below.

All week long we've been looking at our staff's choices for the best albums of 2011 five LPs at a time. Our submissions include all styles of music from bluegrass to jazz, jam to indie, electronica to rap, as well as everything in between (but sorry Nefertiti's Fjord it just wasn't the year for lesbian-Afro-Norwegian-funk music). At the end of the day, we're a music blog. Everyone is encouraged to write about what they like with no motives, no editorial biases, and no strings attached. We hope that comes across in our picks.

Dave Sitek (of TV on the Radio fame) is no stranger to remixes. He's reworked songs by everyone from Lykke Li to 502s blues great Dinah Washington . His newest effort is a beat-addled, club-worthy stomper - a remix of Florence + The Machine's "No Light, No Light", off her October album Ceremonials . Sitek replaces the soaring boys choir backup vocals of the original with fidgeting 808 kick, and throws in some of his signature clatter and buzz. The TVotR guitarist and producer's prior work with the Yeah Yeah [...]

Last night's guest on The Colbert Report was Tinariwen, "from a North African nomadic tribe, which means they're always on tour." (Also: "Our guests tonight are a North African refugee band, so their living conditions are slightly better than most American bands.") Joining them for the interview and performance of " Tenere Taqqim Tossam " were TV On The Radio's Kyp Malone and Tunde Adibempe. ("Kyp, I'm glad to see you're still winning the beard battle.") Writing posts about Colbert is fun because Colbert writes posts for you. Also don't you just feel some right-wing news [...]

This fleshes out an already-stellar lineup of acts that cross the spectrum of electronic genres and styles, including three pioneers of electronic music: Tangerine Dream, [...]

Les Savy Fav at the 2011 Capitol Hill Block Party in Seattle, WA (07/23/11) Words and Photos : Drake Lelane Capitol Hill Block Party: Day Two (July 23, 2011) The second day of CHBP was marked by warmer temperatures and Les Savy Fav's Tim Harrington doing his CHBP traditional freakshow walkabout. Oh, and me getting camera-blocked at the door... and then, later, getting the privilege back again. This meant several half mile trips back and forth to the car. Imagine if [...]

Considering this week's song, Walking the Cow, was first released via a 1983 self recorded cassette tape, made in the home of Daniel Johnston, the covers sound quite different from the original. Johnston's take from his album Hi, How Are You is a poignantly simple and honest delivery from the Austin, Texas mainstay whose well documented mental illness has both informed and hampered his creative output. His influence on recent artists from the Seattle grunge movement to the current wave of independent bands is undeniable evidenced by two of the contenders coming from tribute albums featuring impressive lineups [...]
