If you’ve been searching endlessly for the perfect mix between M.I.A. and Asher Roth… then I have a surprise for you! Enter: Brooklyn’s ecclectic trio, Das Racist.
Check out their video for “Ek Shaneesh” and commiserate with me that we’re unable to see them at this year’s SXSW in Austin, Texas. And for those of you lucky enough to see them… I want to be you.
‘The Lady Killer’ just made my day 10x better by covering the newest single by Kings of Leon. Further proof that Cee-Lo has a Midas Touch.
In the present days of less than mediocre music videos, OK Go has found a way to keep an audience engaged. First making it big with their ‘Treadmill Video’ (aka “Here It Goes Again”), and now their stop-motion animated video featuring a loaf of burnt toast as a canvas. Check out “Last Leaf” (unfortunately, only available on MySpace).
Lykke Li is back! What’s more, she’s offering up a free download of her new single “Get Some”! If you have no idea who I’m talking about then check out this older track of hers (remixed by Drake) and fall in love. Happy Monday!

As you may have heard, label censorship has denied Kanye’s creatively designed album cover for his upcoming ‘My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy’ album. Here’s a collection of album covers MORE offensive than Kanye’s.
Katy Perry just earned back 5 points of respect (previously deducted by releasing “Milk, Milk, Lemonade“) by dressing as the leadsinger of Queen, Freddie Mercury. What are you dressing as for Halloween?
Cee-Lo Green, the genious mastermind behind Gnarls Barkley, once dropped by his label Arista, is back with a new solo album “The Lady Killer”! If you love hearing music BEFORE everyone else (like I think you do), then you’ll be pleased to hear that Cee-Lo just uploaded samples of his upcoming tracks on his YouTube page. Check out my picks below:
I hate to admit it but I like this new Flo Rida track. Partially because he samples the infamous song from Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, and partially because Flo just makes kickass club bangers. Period.
Give a listen to “Turn Around (5, 4, 3, 2, 1)” below and prepare to hear it repeatedly on the dancefloor in t-minus 2 weeks.
So while my mom was visiting me in Los Angeles this week I took her to a taping of Jimmy Kimmel Live. She had a great time.. but the biggest perk for me was seeing The XX. For free. Need I say more?! Check out “Crystalized” from Monday’s taping (if you know what I look like, search of me to the left of Kimmel during the introduction).
Last Friday, Kanye released one of his best GOOD Friday songs yet. The track is called “Don’t Stop!” and features ‘Ye, Pharrell, and Lupe Fiasco (collectively known as Child Rebel Soldier). The energy pulses throughout and the trio has a kickass collective flow. Check it out below!
