New Britney Spears song?! This may be it folks, not even a year after Blackout released to some critical acclaim, and to even less commercial acclaim, it seems we may have a new Brit song in our hands . You may have noticed that very little is known of this recently surfaced track, other than that no one has heard it before. I am a bit skeptical however — the demo itself sounds post-In The Zone, and possibly pre-”My Prerogative” and “Do Something”. This could have been one of the demos that... Read Full Story

This video is from a while back at the Bowery Ballroom, but the awesome new VW song, ‘White Sky,” was played more recently at Coachella. LINK HERE! Read Full Story

Warning: Luis’ Birthday is this Monday, 5/5/08. Los Angeles, San Fransisco, Las Vegas — prepare to be terrorized!! Woo! Today marks the first day of my Long Birthday Weekend. It’s just passed noon and I’m already making all the preparations for tonight. But, before I drink too much and party too hard, I have to kick everything off by watching Iron Man! It looks way cool! After that it’s dinner with some friends and then we party. Hitting up Fubar, The Factory, and Avalon, just in case you... Read Full Story

I really don’t know why we ignore music videos so much. I think the last time I posted one was Hot Chip’s “One Pure Thought”, and that was really just for the tour dates, and to show some Hot Chip love. But here are the music videos promo agencies want us to post and the ones you want to watch (maybe?). Radiohead - All I Need MTV and Radiohead hold hands in the production of the video for “All I Need”. “The video was created for the ‘MTV EXIT Campaign in Asia and the Pacific’ – an initiative...

  I have a feeling that you will be seeing a lot of this video in the coming weeks/ months/ maybe even years. Not in a VERY long time has a video made me stop everything else and really watch it. And then watch it another four times. Shocking? Tongue-in-cheek? Too far? Or a cleverly created promo to jump-start debate, discussion and publicity? You decide.   I am not going to say anymore on the video but please post your comments. Here is the video in question - Justice - \’Stress... Read Full Story

So I know I am a little behind with these reviews (save Phantom Planet), but I feel the need to get the word out there about these three albums I have been listening to… Raise The Dead, Phantom Planet- This is the album that I want people to know about right now. Don’t dismiss Phantom Planet for their O.C. theme song, their ex-drummer Jason Schwartzman, or their association with the love-it-or-hate-it Fueled By Ramen label (home to Panic at the Disco and The Hush Sound). Their new cd, Raise... Read Full Story

The results were not too surprising tonight on “Idol,” as we were forced to say goodbye to Brooke White, the teary-eyed, piano-playing, somewhat strange blonde on everyone’s favorite singing competition. Although it could be argued that her performance was not the weakest of the night, her personality and strange stage presence (the starting over of songs, the frequent tears) may have deterred some “Idol” viewers from dialing her number. The hour itself was actually relatively enjoyable (but... Read Full Story

I know Luis has just posted about the new iTunes/iPod advertisement campaign, but just THREE days ago I was planning to write this exact post. As they say, there is no time like the present. Since my intention to write about The Ting Tings and now, this advert was released and the band took themselves to a new level. Amazing really, is it not? Anywho, my intentional post was an introduction to the band. The Ting Tings consist of two members, Jules De Martino and Katie White, and originate... Read Full Story
