The Blue Throne Listening Party Is Tonight!
Most mash-ups are shit. They’re the product of two unrelated and uncomplimentary forms of expression combined together in unholy matrimony to create a hairlipped, club-footed harlequin of a baby that should have been aborted before it ever saw the light of day. But, occasionally, some geniuses manage to pull these things off; SoulKlap and Mick [...] -
The Morning After Pills Guide to CMJ 2011
So as you probably know, CMJ week kicks off tomorrow (I KNOW RIGHT? It crept up on us like a sneaky lil bastard). I just took a look at the schedule and almost barfed… but we’ve compiled a compact list of showcases for your convenience. You should check out the full schedule anyway though, at [...] -
VIDEO: The Smiths Lost Documentary (1992)
A previously unreleased documentary about The Smiths that was made in 1992 just surfaced on the web, only 19 years later. The short was created in promotion of the band’s Best album, but they never ended up using it, so footage of these charming men wasn’t made publicly available until now. The documentary will still [...] -
LIVE TONIGHT: The Rapture Online Listening Party and Q&A
Hey guys, The Rapture will be releasing their new album In the Grace of Your Love in just three weeks (9/6). You already heard their single “How Deep Is Your Love?” and in that same DFA White Out Sessions style, the band will be hosting an online listening party, playing the entirety of their new [...] -
JUST FOR FUN: Girls Widget That You Should Keep Checking
Here’s a fun one–San Fran band Girls released this widget that fills with new phrases over time. They’re probably song titles/lyrics from their forthcoming LP, judging by their equally self-deprecating and romantic nature. Hover over the words with your mouse to magnify them. I guess we’ll just keep checking back to see what happens. Bookmark [...] -
The Morning After Pills Guide to Northside Festival 2011
Watch out, Brooklyn. Northside Festival is this weekend, which means a shitload of bands and hipsters will be crawling the streets of Brooklyn–okay so that’s normal but I mean like, way more than usual. And there will be too many shows going on at once. But don’t be overwhelmed, we’re here to help. We’ll hold [...] -
VIDEO: The Kills Acoustic Videos from Short Film “Blood Pressures”
The good-looking and fashionable duo The Kills have recently released a short film, Blood Pressures, titled after the band’s fourth studio album.

TOMORROW! Hot Box at The Cove (Brooklyn) with DJ Jonny Santos
He held your hand when you were too stoned and he made your mama proud, and tomorrow night, TMAP’s favorite DJ Jonny Santos wants to make you DANCE (hey, with more pot references – the fun never stops!). So drag that hungover, overworked, sleep-deprived ass of yours out to The Cove for a good, sexy [...] -
VIDEO: Blondie “Mother” (New Song)
We absolutely LOVE Blondie… but you know, circa 1978. While it’s nice to see Debbie Harry having fun at her age, this new song and video deserve a facepalm. And that’s after overlooking these lyrics: “Mother, may I stay all night? Lift your curfew like the light.” Oy vey. And who directed the music video [...] -
VIDEO: Twin Shadow “Castles in the Snow” and “I Can’t Wait” Live on Fallon
It’s been a year or so since we’ve seen Twin Shadow live, whose mild buzz had beckoned out a handful of people but only enough to fill up half of Knitting Factory – no one even cared to get close to the stage. Since then, George Lewis Jr. and his troupe of talents have put [...] -
VIDEO: Phantom Power “Seasons Change, Why Don’t You?” and “Orthologous Love” Live at Coco66
You may know Phantom Power as the “skinny, white bedroom pop version of Lil Wayne before Carter III” or that ambitious dude who puts out a free EP every month. Well, it’s already May and we haven’t heard from the guy since early March. You okay, Phantom Power? To make up for it, we decided [...] -
VIDEO: LCD Soundsystem Last Show 4/2/11 at Madison Square Garden
Perhaps you were there. Perhaps you’re sick of hearing about them. Or perhaps, if you’re like us, you’re still insanely jealous of those who attended. Whatever the case, it’s hard to deny that Saturday night’s LCD Soundsystem show at Madison Square Garden marked the end of one of the greatest musicians of the new millennium. [...] -

JUST FOR FUN: Justice’s New Single “Civilization” in an Adidas Commercial
French masters of electro, Justice, are on the verge of releasing a sophomore LP, but first a taste of their new single “Civilization,” via this Adidas commercial. Sounds like a full-throttle ride. The commercial was directed by Romain Gavras, who also did the duo’s “Stress” and lest we not forget, the controversial M.I.A. vid “Born [...] -
VIDEO: Le Tigre “Deceptacon” (from Le Tigre documentary)
Throwback! The appropriately titled Who Took the Bomp?: Le Tigre on Tour is a new documentary about the dance punk trio, which will be released on DVD on June 7th. Watch these rebels get wild in a clip from the doc – none other than their hit, “Deceptacon,” made up of shots taken from several [...] -
LISTEN: Fever Ray “The Wolf” (Red Riding Hood Soundtrack)
I can’t think of a better artist to soundtrack a darkly twisted take on a fairy tale than Fever Ray, who recorded a new track, “The Wolf,” exclusively for the film Red Riding Hood. But seeing as how the movie is from the director of Twilight - yes the first and funniest one – the [...] -
VIDEO: Cults “Go Outside” feat. James Franco’s brother and Emma Roberts
As a part of MTV’s new “supervideos” series where actors team up with directors to make music videos, Dave Franco (yes, James Franco’s younger brother) and Emma Roberts (Julia Roberts’ niece, if you didn’t know) starred in this unofficial Cults video for “Go Outside.” The first of the series was LCD Soundsystem’s “Pow Pow,” starring [...] -

They get together once in a while to record beautiful covers of classic hits in a living room somewhere in Greenpoint with a super 8 camera. [...] -
COVER: Bat For Lashes does Depeche Mode “Strangelove”
Listen to Bat For Lashes‘ great cover of the 1987 Depeche Mode single, “Strangelove.” Natasha Khan recorded this cover for Gucci’s new fragrance in appropriately sexy-dark fashion. We think she does the original justice! What are your thoughts? Download it here.

VIDEO: LCD Soundsystem “I Can Change” and Interview on The Colbert Report
Watch Stephen Colbert hilariously poke at James Murphy’s reasons for leaving behind fame and his ‘rockstar’ life. No discussion on the scalper situation, but the two instigated some very amusing ideas of what James’ life might be post-LCD (making coffee at Starbucks?). After the chat, Murphy and his band LCD Soundsystem gave their final TV [...]
