It looks like Lil Wayne will be ready to call it quits in 2018, after just short of two decades in the rap game. Talking to Katie Couric (who always seems to bring out the realness in Weezy) on Katie, Wayne said he'll be looking to retire in five years. Read More »
Apparently, everybody gets one. Fall Out Boy are the latest in a long line of bands to cover Daft Punk's early contender for song-of-the-summer (before it was obliterated by Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines," itself becoming a cover staple) "Get Lucky." Read More »
In case you haven't heard, the Pixies are rolling out new music, The "Where Is My Mind?" band have released five new songs in the last month ("Bagboy" and the four songs on EP-1) and it looks like they aren't anywhere near being done.

Arcade Fire's upcoming secret is officially out. The cryptic clues are all in place to reveal what's above. Arcade Fire are releasing a new album under the name The Reflektors. As for how the album will sound? The "Ask The Selector!" tag might mean a more Caribbean lean on this album (then again, maybe it just rhymes with Reflektors).

TV On The Radio dropped by Late Show With David Letterman and their new-wavey art-rock got quite the rise out of the recently haggard seeming host. While most Late Show's bands get little more than confusion or indifference from Dave as of late (see: MGMT), TVOTR's live performance of "Mercy" caused the talk show veteran to gush. Read More »
In case you didn't catch Jimmy Kimmel Live last night, 2 Chainz and Pharrell showed up to perform the true (TRU!!!) song of the summer, "Feds Watching." Pharrell came out in an outfit that Jason Mraz wishes he could pull off and Chainz (who has been taking fashion advice from Alexis Krauss, apparently) came out decked in his own merchandise- an admittedly sweet t-shirt that featured his B.O.A.T.S. II album cover. Read More »
As is the way of band's who venture into BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge, Queens Of The Stone Age performed a cover of a recent hit. Rather than go for the song of the summer (like the ...Like Clockwork band did with their last effort, "Blurred Lines") Josh Homme and Co. decided to replicate "Why'd You Only Call Me When You're High?" from friends the Arctic Monkeys upcoming album AM.

The first single off of Rick Ross' Mastermind is finally here and, for those who might have been disappointed by recent MMG output, you'll be happy to hear that "No Games" is a true return to form for the Teflon Don, squeaky sneaker synths and all. Read More »
It seems Papoose wasn't satisfied with just one "Control"-related response. After responding to Kendrick Lamar's resonating verse with a "Control" freestyle, Papoose took on the man that "Control" belonged to (in name, anyway), Big Sean. Read More »
