French electronic music is hitting the US hipsters in full effect. Throw in a cool foreign film and you will win their hearts. On June 20th, a film by French director Quentin Dupieux called "Steak" is getting released. More importantly, the soundtrack was put together by three of the most badical Frenchy electronic artists putting music out right now... Mr. Oizo , Sebastian Tellier , and SebastiAn . The soundtrack will be released in the US through Ed Banger Records, but until then, here's the tracklist and five MP3 downloads to help [...]
What'd we give to see a Mike Myers Saturday Night Live "Sprockets" skit on this little bit... A recent report on celebrity gossip site tmz.com stated that rapper/producer Timbaland (and his entourage) got into a scuffle after a Justin Timberlake concert in Cologne, Germany. The fight started in the lobby bar of a Hotel after Timbaland was macking on zee German's girlfriend. Zee German then called Timbaland the "N" word and the slugger took it outside to the parking lot like a true gentleman. [...]
So we've been hyping the hell out of the new Queens Of The Stone Age album, Era Vulgaris , over here at Badical Beats .

Check it out now, get your dancing shoes on, pop some peyote (of course we do not endorse this), and be sure to buy the album after it blows your noodle away! Also, we've been acquainted with Bulby quite a bit during this [...]
For all of you downloading music or movies via torrent sites, it looks like you may want to be a bit more careful. A Federal Judge has ordered TorrentSpy to log its users and submit logs to the MPAA. "This is believed to be the first time a judge has ordered a defendant to log visitor activity and then hand over the information to the plaintiff. The decision - arrived at last month but under seal - could force sites that are defendants in a law suit [...]
Rapper/Producer Akon is in deep doo-doo after an incident at one of his shows at Dutchess Stadium in New York. Apparently a fan threw a piece of paper at Akon during one of his between song "blabberings" that no one cares to hear. Akon singled out the culprit, got him up on stage, and completely manhandled him. The best part is it's all caught on tape....
I first stumbled across the five piece noise rock outfit from Los Angeles known as Suicide Club when they opened up for The Blood Brothers at the El Rey Theatre in April. I caught the end of their set, but it was more than enough to catch my interest. A few weeks later I got their debut album , Soft Machines EP, (Morphine Generation Recordings) in the mail and I was immediately hooked on their sound. Suicide Club is one of many bands that are part [...]

Grab your favorite pair of dancin' shoes and get ready to party for 7 nights straight with DJ/Stones Throw Records founder Peanut Butter Wolf in Los Angeles. Get this.... 7 different clubs, 7 consecutive nights, 7 different genres of music. "The idea came when I was moving last month," Wolf says. "After 28 years of record buying, I started organizing my records into genres for the first time. It occurred to me that LA is that rare city where as a DJ, you could do a whole week-long tour [...]
Bulby the light bulb will not be happy about Queens of the Stone Age dropping the alternative version to their music video for "Sick, Sick, Sick". Why? Because they replaced that scum-bag attention whore for some hot babe! Enjoy the new video kids...
A new genre has officially been coined. It's called "Dream Rock", and you won't quite understand it until you listen to this week's Badical Find, a band called Thrushes from Baltimore. You can hear hints of Dream Rock (also known as Dream-Core) in a few other Baltimore-based bands like Beach House and Arbouretum . Drenched in reverb, these guys push the "talent knob" to the limit with their swirling guitar riffs, goddess-like melodies, and crashing drums. Thrushes are [...]
This weekend is do or die day for Marilyn Manson and judging by the videos and tracks he's laid out, I'm doubting the "Antichrist" is ready to die yet. Sure he's not scary now that we realized he wasn't going to take over the world, but he can still put out some pretty wicked electro-rock. How do I know the tracks are wicked, funky fly? Simple! Marilyn Manson is streaming Eat Me, Drink Me on his Myspace page as we speak. [...]
While most of you were out bbq'ing and shopping at the mall over the Memorial Day weekend, I decided to hit the gym. While that may sound like a pretty crappy day, I was actually spending my early evening at the Tao Nightclub in Las Vegas getting to watch a full set by the Gym Class Heroes . This private event was definitely a way to kick off that weekend and I was even able to film a couple songs as I watched from the side of the stage. Jump down a bit further, and there are [...]
Normally I hate Maroon 5 knock off's or anything that sounds remotely close to those ass clowns, but when they can put together a video as kick ass as Sweep the Leg , they deserve a little attention. This 80's tribute to the best movie ever features the cast of Karate Kid all grown up and fat living in a trailer, Mr. Belding as a sensei, and a drummer who got his bass drum head from Meg of the White Stripes. Anyways, enjoy this modern 80's flashback brought to you by No More Kings !
Who doesn't love pasty musicians, sassy female vocalists and high energy rock that mixes The Grease Soundtrack with Blondie (if she had a strong lower register)? I know I do, and I love it even more when bands like The Long Blondes stream their ENTIRE upcoming album for us all to shimmy to. Someone To Drive You Home offers tracks so diverse that trying to categorize them would prove impossible. On one hand you have songs filled with [...]
