Everyone likes a good remix album, but only when it’s done right. Parisian band, Phoenix, is one of the lucky ones.
We’ve previously told you of the upcoming remix collection of songs from their latest album, Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix, and now we’re excited to tell you that you can stream the entire album right now! Instead of waiting for them to tweet the latest remix or scour the blogosphere for each song, you’ve got tracks 1 -15 with one click. Check it out after the jump!

The MTV Video Music Awards released their nominees for Best Breakthrough Video earlier this week. Just like we were impressed with MTV’s Top Albums of 2009 list, we are amazed at how much depth this nominee list has.
The Breakthrough Video category have been absent from the awards show on and off for the past few years, but we’re excited to see it’s back. We’re especially elated that many of the video nominees feature a handful of indie artists! Artist videos include Bat for Lashes, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Matt and Kim, Death Cab for Cutie and more. Now we know that the video filmmakers/directors get to take this award home, but we can’t help but think it’s rad that they’ve worked with some of our favorite artists.
Take a look after the jump and watch all the videos that made the list!

Ice Cream man, Matt Allen, has been going to all the music festivals and giving out free ice-cream to. Apparently, this guy is so interesting (or maybe it is the concept of giving out free ice-cream) that Babelgum.com has just launched an original series following him around to the festivals. What does Allen talk about, one might ask? Ice-cream, of course. And his experience riding around in the ice-cream truck.
If that’s not enough to capture your attention, don’t fret, there is also performances from his favorite bands. Two episodes are up now from Bonnaroo: One with Chairlift and the White Rabbits and the second with MGMT and a circus troupe.
Check out one of the videos below…

Chairlift finally has a video for their breakout single, “Bruises,” and it’s not an iPod nano commercial! The band had been fond of making videos for their album, Does You Inspire You, whenever they had the time, but now fans can be happy watching the band members instead of looking at a rainbow of iPods.
Check it out below and let us know what you think!

So apparently, Toyota really cares about the status of our independent radio stations today. Toyota Yaris teamed up with Urban Outfitters to run the Free YR Radio campaign to prove it. Does this make Toyota cool? Not really. Does making CDs with music we like on them cool? Yes – even better when you only have to pay 99 cents.
Next Tuesday, January 27, they will be releasing The Free Yr Radio 2008 Benefit Compilation (I know; They couldn’t have come up with a better title?), which features unreleased material from great bands like No Age, Yeasayer, and more. The CD is only available through InSound. By looking at the track list, you’ll get much more than the 99 cent worth though!
Help generate awareness for independent radio and check out the track list below!
