We (the internets) previously got a little taste of the string driven, “Too Dramatic”, via Ra Ra Riot’s #2 promo clip for their upcoming sophomore, The Orchard. Another indie-pop gem from the Syracuse band, this one definitely one-ups the first single, “Boy.” The Orchard is due August 24. (SKOA)

Kid Cudi comes through again with another highly bloggable indie hip hop track, getting more obscure than usual on his latest leak, “Mojo So Dope,” sampling Danish Music Award winning band, Choir of Young Believers. The track will very likely make its way onto Man On The Moon II: The Legend Of Mr. Rager (now due [...]

If it’s anything like any of his other singles, chances are that without even owning a radio, you will hear Usher’s new single, “Hot Toddy”, about 4,000 times within the next few months. I’ve already gotten 5 of those out of the way this morning. The Polow Da Don produced “Hot Toddy” will be released [...]

Over the weekend, Roc Nation unleashed the official studio version of the Jay-Z/E.S. Posthumus “Run This Town” medley from this past year’s Superbowl. It is extremely late to the 2k10 party, but a welcomed edition none-the-less. Stream the mp3 below via NR.

Christopher Owens of Girls is “a little bit nervous” in the above video, but it had zero effect on his performance of gorgeous new track, “Oh My Love,” live from his bedroom as part of this full interview with director Travis Matthews. The clip is of the new song only, but I highly recommend watching [...]

It seems like it’s literally been years in the making (it totally has), but UK duo, The Count & Sinden are actually releasing that album that was coming out ‘later this year’ back in March 2008. Mega Mega Mega is due August 23 in the UK via Domino, and you can check out the video [...]

I honestly didn’t care one way or another about Nicki Minaj until my recent over-exposure to her via driving around Long Island to Hot97 during my visit to New York this past week. Above, Minaj goes in on a sample of Annie Lennox’s “No More I Love You’s” (about time somebody did) in her new [...]

BBC Radio 1 recently premiered a dance remix of Robyn’s “Hang With Me” (the low-key piano ballad from the bottom half of Body Talk Pt. 1), that will resurface in the second installment of the Body Talk series as the album’s lead-off single. I’ve already grown attached to the acoustic version, but I will definitely [...]

I spent the majority of Tuesday on a couple of planes headed back to the best coast (zing), and enjoyed my complimentary Sirius Satellite Radio through-out the duration of the journey. This included my first listen of Ra Ra Riot’s “Boy” on XMU. Sometime between my trip to the airport and my connecting flight out [...]

Ra Ra Riot offer up another promising preview of their sophomore album, The Orchard, via the above teaser clip with a snippet of new track, “Too Dramatic.” I’m looking forward to another incredible LP that hopefully won’t be as underrated as the last. The Orchard is due August 24 on Barsuk. Surely more teaser clips [...]
