Buraka Som Sistema, or BSS, have posted another new track on their myspace page from their upcoming Enchufada release, Black Diamond. “Kalemba” feat. PongoLove does not have “Sound of Kuduro” beat (that is still my favorite song/thing of 2008 thus far), but it may be the second most awesome thing created in the whole world [...]

As a big thank you to Oasis’ Noel Gallagher for his comments about Jay-Z headlining Glastonbury (jea-lous), Jay opened up his peformance with a cover of “Wonderwall.” The video above leads into “99 Problems” and “Encore.” By far, rocks harder than anything Oasis has done since 1996.
He also did a verse on Estelle’s “American Boy.”
“Ladies, [...]

So close to pulling off an entire weekend of performances, Winehouse punched a fan (twice) during the performance of “Rehab” at Glastonbury.

Amy Winehouse pulled off yet another amazing performance last night, despite her recent diagnosis with emphasyma. She performed “Rehab” and “Valerie” at the show in London to celebrate Nelson Mendela’s 90th Birthday.
There are reports that she showed up to the rehearsal on Monday night smoking cigarettes and carrying a bottle of vodka.
::Sigh::

While Devo should be flattered that they are apparently the complete embodiment of the genre of new wave, one could understand the frustration of the band about the above McDonald’s toy, which came out in the spring as part of an American Idol themed happy meal. Disco Dave, Country Clay, Rockin’ Riley, Soulful Selma, and [...]

Another new Common track off of his upcoming album, Invincible Summer. “Announcement” was produced by The Neptunes and features Pharrell. This is pretty straight up dirrty for Common, as he calls hip hop his “bitch” that “needs a dick.” Even Pharrell sounds completely unlike himself on this track. I didn’t like this at first but [...]

Here is the new official video for Vampire Weekend’s second single, “Oxford Comma.” This actually premiered Friday night on Pete Wentz’ new MTV show, FNMTV. Whatevs. Even through that, I still just love this record to pieces. Frankly, it’s still sitting in my #1 album of 2008 slot quite safely (despite all the Odd Couple-ing [...]

Damn, Radiohead love them some last minute announcements. Via their myspace blog last night, the band announced they they will release a live video set on iTunes…like yesterday, called “RADIOHEAD LIVE FROM THE BASEMENT.” “Captured in a day with direction by David Barnard and sound by Nigel Godrich,” goes the blog entry, “the videos represent [...]

I’m glad Kanye posted this, because I’ve seriously been wondering when this explanation was going to come along. There’s nothing like a good Kanye rant. For those of you who don’t know the back story, Kanye was set for 2:45 performance at Bonnaroo so it would be dark out for his set. This is [...]
