It’s another promising week of new releases. While we stumble over the first couple of albums – the miss-able Younger Brother and Wombats, pretty unimpressive for the most part – we will begin to venture into some richer and more elaborate album releases from artists you’ve probably been listening to already. Make sure you check out all the albums in our top 5 list this week:

This past Halloween weekend, it seemed that every one’s schedules were packed with plenty of concert choices. We got our early start with The New LA Folk Fest and their Murder Ballad night then fell in to a good groove with The Henry Clay People’s Halloween Rock and Roll Circus. However, Saturday – the night everyone would be gallivanting in masks and outrageous get ups at some shindig or another – offered the best to come for we had the opportunity to see Janelle Monae and of Montreal at The Hollywood Palladium.
Boozing it up with your friends and waking up in a different costume the next morning can provide you with a good story. However, opting to take in a show such as of Montreal’s – which was beyond enriched with visuals and sex-crazed theatrics in the midst of vaudeville-esque disco beats – was the way to celebrate in style this year.

Another weekend. Such a burden, this. To go out and have fun and express ourselves through our taste in music… it’s just so belaboring an endeavor. It’s a hell of a time; someone’s gotta do it. Let’s embark on fun times together, once concert pick at a time.
- of Montreal | Friday, September 17 | 7:00 pm | $27.50 | Terminal 5 | New York, NY – Map | Pop has been undergoing a refreshing redefinition, causing artists to be on their toes and hopefully self-sufficient. To some this means abandoning self; to others it means retaining self. of Montreal, with more years on the scene and no intent to overhaul a sound and style that has proved to be consistent and intriguing (as can be heard on their latest album, False Priest), one pit-stop on the road at a time. Can’t catch them tonight? They’ll be playing Saturday the 18th as well. With Janelle Monae – Buy Tickets

of Montreal has gone through many new phases since their formation in 1996. Their outlandish sets with characters to bring shock factor during their live performances have become a major of Montreal characteristic within the last few years. The more shocking something is on stage while they sing their hearts out, the crazier the crowd gets.
Last night, the band’s show at Manhattan’s Highline Ballroom was no exception. In fact, it was probably one the greatest live sets thanks to Susan Sarandon and Solange who joined them on stage last night. We’ve got videos for you below!

Beyonce, the most recent queen of pop – who has nabbed “Woman of the Year” title from Billboard and the subject of Kanye West’s humiliating rant at the MTV Video music awards – may be going out further into the vast ocean of music than we thought she could.

Wasn’t it just yesterday that we mentioned Yo Gabba Gabba!? True story.
Why were we talking about Nickelodeon’s kids show? Probably because we love Chromeo and they are just ONE of the awesome artists who have contributed to the show. Forget Dora the Explorer or silly purple teletubbies. Yo Gabba Gabba! managed to become the coolest show for both kids and adults. Usually teaching kids positive lessons like “lathering up” before dinner time, guest stars always include indie-friendly artists such as of Montreal, The Shins, and The Roots.

You’re sitting in a dark movie theater watching the latest blockbuster, indie comedy, or zombie thriller when all of a sudden a familiar voice echoes in the background. Instead of focusing on the actors on the screen, you zone out while listening to the melodic tune of your favorite musician. When you’re two greatest loves are film and music, nothing could be better than hearing you’re favorite band on your favorite movie’s soundtrack.
When it comes to the silver screen, there are plenty of great film composers to choose from, but Hollywood should try a different approach. There are some amazing bands out there that could easily do the job, and breath new life into the film while at it. Therefore, we’ve come up with a list of musicians who we think could give Hans Zimmer a run for his money.
Check out our musical dream team for the silver screen… Continue Reading
