Kanye remasters ‘Love Lockdown’

Kanye’s latest single, that seems to be on every hip kid’s iPod as of lately, “Love Lockdown,” has been remastered, after he hit the studio again, in an attempt to hide the song’s hurried, cranky and, well, just incomplete nature.

New Music Monday: 15 September

This week’s a bit poor, in term of releases, but some worthy mentions are certainly present. Lindsey Buckingham, who some of you old timers may recognize him as the Fleetwood Mac guitarist and occasional vocalist, is releasing his latest solo effort today, called “Gift of Screws.” His previous solo stuff, “Out of the Cradle” and “Under the Skin” were really good, and from what I’ve read Gift of Screws isn’t any lower, quality wise. The…

New Eagles of Death Metal album art for ‘Heart On’

Although he’s been under some heavy critique lately, especially after that little Norwegian Wood incident, Josh Homme is still a more then capable artist, and last year’s Era Vulgaris more then proves that. However, QOTSA isn’t the only thing keeping him busy, as his garage side project with Jesse Hughes, Eagles of Death Metal, is prepping to release a new album in October. Those familiar with the band know the band shines with devilish eccentricity,…

Download: Rye Rye & M.I.A – ‘Tic Toc’

If M.I.A. plans on quitting music for real, then she’s got a strange way of doing it, considering she’s been really active, musically speaking, lately. Just a few days ago, she got featured on Esau Mwamwaya + Radioclit’s latest leak, Rain Dance, and now she’s released yet another song, this time in collaboration with Baltimore’s Rye Rye, on “Tic Toc.”  The song’s really smashing, with some really, really heavy beats and interesting samples.

Now, it seems Jack and Coca-Cola have team up for the new Coke Zero commercial, that has Bond theme and vibe to it. The song in the background was obviously made by Jack White with Bond-like themed riffs and heavy beats. Oh, and guess what the predominant…
