Of Montreal's new album lousy with sylvianbriar drops on October 8, but is currently streaming over at Pitchfork Advance. I've only made it through one go-round and I can say this: It's not f**king Skeletal Lamping (or anything after it, really). The album harkens back to early albums like Cherry Peel with a straightforward Summer Of Love sound. Read More »
This. This is a daymaker. Soundgarden are going to re-release their first two Sub Pop EPs - Screaming Life and Fopp - on vinyl and as a digital download. Read More »
Yissssssssss. Migos have just dropped the video for their summer smash "Versace" and -as you should expect from a song that says "Versace" 84 times - the clip is a wee bit over the top. Read More »
Jay Z covered Vanity Fair (think about how you would feel if you heard this sentence right after Reasonable Doubt dropped) and gave a rare glimpse into his personal life with Beyonce and daughter Blue Ivy. Read More »
I don't have a picture of a puffin to soften this unpopular opinion, but here goes: A$AP Rocky is very not good at rapping. His songs tend to be absolutely terrible, only occasionally elevated by guest appearances. "Bath Salt" and "F**king Problem" are excellent examples of this. I'd go so far as to say that the only good thing that Rocky has given us is A$AP Ferg. The duo performed "Shabba" off of Ferg's incredible Trap Lord on Arsenio last night. Read More »

Noted Twitter beefer and sometimes halway decent rapper Azaelia Banks has once again screwed the pooch on another Broke With Expensive Taste collaboration. The "212" (remember that?) rapper just nixed her work with British DJ duo Disclosure. Read More »
Lauren Mayberry of upstart electro-pop band CHVRCHES is -believe it or not- a female. She provides the vocals for a band that owes a large portion of their success. to the series of tubes clogged with cat pictures we lovingly call "the internet." Unfortunately, you can probably guess where this is headed. Mayberry has recieved many vile, degrading and threatening comments as her band's fame has grown. Read More »
Everything is as it should be. Kanye West is getting some big-name support in his beef with Jimmy Kimmel. Famed manager Irving Azoff bashed Kimmel for his response to 'Ye's anti-Kimmel Twitter rant. Read More »
Two things I learned from this video: French people can't clap and Kanye West is an excellent performer. Seriously, there are very few rappers whose live shows live up to the studio sound and Kanye has every right to be proud of being in that class. This performance of "Bound 2" on Le Grand Journal (once again with Charlie) is just plain great. Read More »
