Madlib returns with his right-brained Quasimoto alias for a new video off the Yessir Whatever album. As as typical for Quasimoto the visuals take on an abstract air, with one of the world’s most bizarre drug dealers selling wares in a very unique way. You can get the Los Angeles rapper/producer’s album Yessir Whatever over […]

Sometimes things don’t make sense. Like how come MGMT was never able to write a song as irresistible as “Time To Pretend” again. Sure they got plenty of good tunes, but their second album Congratulations just didn’t live up to the Herculean expectations of their debut Oracular Spectacular. Well now the American duo is back ready […]

Oh boy does this get the blood pumping for the upcoming X-Men: Days of Future Past film. After having the X-Men franchise pulled from him and delivered to the talentless mitts of Brett Ratner, Bryan Singer returned in 2011 with the X-Men First Class “history” film.

The Pixies just released their first new song in almost a decade, that would be 2004’s “Bam Thwok”. The song “Bagboy”  features Frank Black at his snarky best — and while I thought the angelic vocals of Kim Deal could be heard soaring in the background, it’s actually the voice of The Bennies’ Jeremy Dubs. […]

The cleverly dubbed Moderat — the profound collaboration between bass gods Modeselektor (Gernot Bronsert and Sebastian Szary) and vocalist Apparat (Sascha Ring) — is about to come out with a new album, II, due August 6 on Mute. Their Pfadfinderei directed and produced music video “Bad Kingdom” tells “a story of corruption and greed” via beautiful hand-drawn illustrations, […]
