Almost three million YouTube hits in just over 48 hours and they've done it again. OK Go , a pretty average American indie band who enjoyed a fair amount of success in the early days of their career are once again the hottest name about the Internet. Back in 2005, when the band released their intricately choreographed video for ' A Million Ways ', things began to change for the Chicago four piece. The viral success of the video led the band to heights of fame they'd never before experienced, and over the past 6 years, their clips have [...]

En enero comenzarán las grabaciones del nuevo álbum de Animal Collective , según indicó Avey Tare en una reciente entrevista . El esperado sucesor de Merriwather post pavilion (Domino, 2009) se encuentra bastante avanzado y hasta el momento contempla más de 10 nuevas canciones, que de acuerdo a Tare tiene muy entusiasmado al cuarteto, que ha estado trabajando desde el primer semestre de este año en su nuevo registro. En el último tiempo hemos tenido noticias de Animal Collective por su EP Fall be kind de 2009 [...]
The lineup for the 2010 edition of the Pitchfork Music Festival was heavily weighted towards the young bucks of independent music; this year, it's a more even-handed mix of familiar stalwarts and up-and-comers. On the whole, it's one of the most consistently strong lineups in the festival's recent history -- well worth braving Chicago's relatively tiny Union Park as it gets packed to the bursting point with neon Ray-Bans, sweaty beards, and people gettin' cranky standing in the Threadless booth's unbelievably long line. Prefix contributors Chris Bosman and Susannah Young [...]

TVD is offering a little free therapy. Our recommendation? Experimental hypnosis; allowing yourself to fall under the spell of Animal Collective . They will be performing at Merriweather Post Pavillion , along with Black Dice and Deradoorian , next weekend, Saturday, July 9th. It is the perfect remedy to remind everyone that summer is all about fun, and we are giving away a pair of lawn tickets to the show. You have to respect four best friends [...]

Having moved to Norway aged 9, Lucy Swann this week returns to the UK as a flagship act to represent Oslo based festival Øya , who have packaged her and Team Me (a band who I have professed my love for at least a thousand times in the last week) together and sent them to England to let those not in the know, get a flavour of exactly how immense the Norwegian music scene is right now. Having long maintained that you can tell far more about a person from their record collection than anything else, we decided [...]

'Stevie Red's playlist' is a monthly edition that showcases ten tracks I am listening to this month. These are either songs and remixes I have discovered, or artists that have been recommended to me, recently signed or one's to look out for in the future. There should be a little bit in there for everyone. Have a listen, it's all yours! Stevie Red. 1. Ellie Goulding - Starry Eyed feat. Theophilus London (Penguin Prison Remix) [...]

So here we are, my favourite songs of the year. What be they? How sound them? All is revealed. I think what strikes me about the music of the last twelve months is the blizzard of originality. An awful lot of new sounds were made. It's a little like the melting-pot at the centre of western music worked very well this year, because a lot of these songs have influences that are wide and disparate. Is this list, taken as a whole, better than that of 2008? I think it just might be. But only just. The artwork is what [...]

Truth be told, I should have a 10 top covers list below, but evidently I really didn't keep good track of all the covers I listened too this year... However, the following five are on constant rotation on my ipod and therefore are listed as my top 5 for 2009. 5. 6PM – Down The Line (Jose Gonzalez cover) I always enjoy a little splash of electronic elements on an otherwise organic track, which is exactly what 6PM did with this cover of Jose Gonzalez's "Down [...]

So I guess George will be giving you your snazzy year in review. I can still give you a few awesome tracks from this year, though. Some? Are definitely repeats of what's already been posted, but I won't assume you've been reading this all year. That would be pretty stupid of me. Before all that? I do want to share another song - not from this year - with you all. As you know, I have been posting a little of the stuff Deerhunter has made. "Disappearing Ink" is definitely amongst my top songs for this year, by [...]
![[2009] Álbuns do Ano](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2224431_lg.jpg)
A lista que se segue não implica qualquer tipo de ordem, nem tão pouco qualquer separação entre os nomes nacionais e os que vêm lá de fora. Limita-se a ser uma listagem dos álbuns que ouvi com mais prazer durante 2009. A lista podia facilmente chegar aos 30 ou 40 nomes mas, com alguma dificuldade é certo, lá a consegui limitar a 20. Foi um bom ano, musicalmente falando mas eu... Não Digo Nada :) Samuel Úria - Nem Lhe Tocava [ MySpace ] [...]
But for now check this... (skip to second clip if you are not a fan of pulpy, martial arts inspired weirdo mythology hip hop with a healthy dose of blood)... Raekwon: House of Flying Daggers Official Music Video HD from Chain Gang Productions on Vimeo . Happy Holidays!

After many months of deliberation here at L&L Towers (ok, it's just me sitting there looking out of the window trying to remember what on earth I'd done all year), I've put together my top albums of the year. Like the Albums of the Decade (starting here ), the idea was to only choose albums which I happily listen to all the way through, and had listened to a whole bunch of times. This time, rather than the album art, I've gone for YouTube videos. Enjoy! The Top 5, not in any [...]
Final de la lista, final de año, final de la decada y final de las transmisiones de Rock & Radio 2009. Hemos llegado al punto en el que los abrazos llegan, se trata de poner la cara más amable... Visita www.rockandradio.net

Well, here we are again at the end of another sensational year for music and pop culture, and here you are, reading a list of the best albums of 2009 for the umpteenth time. (It's the third list on Stark in as many days, because that's how we roll.) I really feel for you. These lists can get grating, and they can also get to be a little redundant, especially when they all pile up in the last few weeks of the year and tend to feature a lot of the same artists. It's no different this year, but for [...]
