New MIA Video

I had a chance to watch the new MIA video for her new song "Born Free." It is very political, very graphic, very disturbing, and very thought provoking. Watch it below but be forewarned; there is violence and nudity so it might be nsfw. Check it out below...

Which is better?

Which Marina and the Diamonds video is better? She has made two for her hit song, "I am not a Robot." The first is the original and the second was inspired by and made during her trip to L.A. You be the judge. Either way it is a kick-ass song that I have been listening to a lot recently. Enjoy!

New LCD Soundsystem!

Check out the first music video for "Drunk Girls" from the new LCD Soundsystem album This is Happening. The album drops May 15, 2010 and from what I've heard so far, its a pretty good follow up to Sound of Silver.

She and Him live on Letterman

So good. Just really, really good stuff.

PS 22 is going a little Indie!

Many of you might recognize the chorus of PS 22 for their wonderful renditions of new hit songs, 80s jamz, and all around good music. Recently, some of their music has been a little more indie; a little more under the radar and below I have posted three newer songs they have done including "Lisztomania" by Phoenix "Zebra" from Beach House and "I am not a Robot" by Marina and the Diamonds. Way to shake it up PS 22! I am definitely hoping this is the direction you will be going in the near future.

Crystal Castles 12 Hour NYC Trip Extravaganza

Alright, so some/many of you may know how awesome the band Crystal Castles is. If you don't know, they are pretty fucking awesome. After listening to their music since about senior year of college thanks to Will over at Street Index, I saw them in all their hardcore, crazy, amazing glory at Lollapalooza last year. When I thought that this NYC show was their only show on the east coast, I jumped on the opportunity and bought tickets thinking I would stay through the weekend (Wed-Sun). That is not the case anymore as I am going to Punta Cana...worth it. Now I am going up for the night to see them with Will and Caroline and possibly Burnz! Should be a ridiculous night especially for a Wednesday.

Anyway, now I found out that they are doing a tour of the US this summer and Washington, DC and the 930 club is one of the stops. COUNT. ME. IN.

Here is a bunch of shit from Crystal Castles. Listen, watch and enjoy:

The 2010 Lollapalooza Lineup was announce the other day and I have to say I'm quite impressed. The headliners this year are definitely better than last year but the middle of the road and DJs are a little weaker. As for the headliners, a reunited Soundgarden! The Strokes! Arcade Fire! Lady Gaga! MGMT! Mutha Fuckin DEEEEEEEEVO! That said I am definitely making my way to Grant Park August 6-8 this summer. For a list of the entire lineup for this year, click below:

2010 Lollapalooza Lineup

Now for my favorites of the 2010 lineup: The Strokes, Arcade Fire, Lady Gaga, Phoenix, MGMT, Devo, Spoon, Hot Chip, Cut Copy, Matt and Kim, Metric, The Temper Trap, The Big Pink, Yeasayer, Empire of the Sun, Fuck Buttons, Grizzly Bear, and Digitalism. Should be a fantastic weekend of shows and debauchery. More to come on my favorite Lolla 2010 bands and performers.
