Download Adult Swim’s free garage rock mixtape, ‘Garage Swim’

May 9th, 2013

This week saw the release of garage rocker Mikal Cronin’s excellent second solo album, MCII. One track that isn’t on that album is the fuzz-drenched “Better Man.” And that’s because Cronin donated it to the latest release by Adult Swim. Aptly titled Garage Swim, the free 15-track comp collects previously unreleased songs from all of [...]

Over the past couple of weeks, Steve Buscemi has been making some pretty funny promos to advertise the Amex UNSTAGED concert he was directing for his cousin’s band, Vampire Weekend.

“I’ve been starting over for a long time/I’m not ready for another day/I feel, I feel anew.” That’s how Mikal Cronin begins his song “Weight” and those lyrics have really stuck, which is probably why I’ve listened to this song about 15 times over. The track comes from Mikal Cronin’s upcoming sophomore album, MCII, due [...]

After premiering some new songs at SXSW this past week, Vampire Weekend are officially back. Earlier today, the NYC-based band released two new songs, “Diane Young” and “Step.” Both tracks have that Vampire Weekend sound you love: punchy drums, twinkling keyboards, and sing-a-long lyrics. But at the same time, these songs sound refreshing and a [...]

M.I.A. ‘MATANGI’ Mix for Kenzo Show (VIDEO)

March 4th, 2013

M.I.A dropped an eight minute Matangi mix today which is a dangerously insane mix and there is nothing like it so far. The Sri Lankan born makes best use of her music knowledge and includes South Asian melodies, Hindi-movie singing, twisted beats, and thumping bass. The best part is when M.I.A herself shows up five [...]

It’s called “Sacrilege” and it features a 20-person gospel choir who by the three-minute mark completely take the reins from Karen O. [...]

A few weeks ago, The Strokes released “One Way Trigger,” our first taste of their upcoming new album, Comedown Machine. A few hours ago, they dropped another track “All The Time” and it’s pretty different from the previous song: The guitars are a little bit grungier and Julian Casablancas’ voice is back down to its [...]
