Massive Attack’s new video for “Saturday Come Slow” featuring Damon Albarn premiered last week on Feeder, but I wasn’t until recently that I found the time to post it.

“My Propeller“, the 3rd single off Arctic Monkeys‘ latest album, the 2009 released “Humbug“, will get released next Tuesday. Until then though, I came across the B-side for the single, a brand new AM song titled “The Afternoon’s Hat“. I really like the somewhat nouvelle direction the band have taken with their new album, embracing [...]

After two incredible albums, “Strawberry Jam” and “Merriweather Post Pavilion“, a lot of touring in between and beyond, and even the full length motion picture ODDSAC released at the beginning of this year, it seems Animal Collective has begun to show signs of growing weary. “There was just so much touring for us,” Panda Bear (aka [...]

Seems like the whole iamamiwhowherehowthefuckami mystery has been unraveled once and for all, and the artist behind it all is quite the unlikely candidate, considering the whole blogosphere didn’t even mention her during the whole thorough teaser dissection process. The latest video proves it all, if you happen to have a pair of sharp eyes, [...]

The SXSW week almost always coincides with modest releases, but this year it can’t get any better. The highlight of the week is without a doubt Drive-by Truckers’ highly anticipated eight studio effort “The Big To-Do“, which according to Patterson Hood is “very much a rock album.

\ Released just this week, Plastic Beach already has a slew of almost unanimous critical acclaim, but Damon Albarn isn’t sitting on his laurels yet, though. As a really sweet ‘thank you’ to all of their fans, the cartoon band will play intimate dates in Portsmouth, Bristol, Cambridge, Brighton, Birmingham and Lincoln as a [...]

One of my favorite Danish up and going bands, Oh No Ono, just released their third studio effort, titled “Egg”, an album bristling with tight synth lines and pop goodness. Today, Caribou released an incredible remix of “Eleanor Speaks”, the opening track for Oh No Ono’s Egg, which totally turned the original at 180 degrees [...]
