New Video: Mudcrutch 'Orphan of the Storm"

Tom Petty, before he became a Rock and Roll Hall of Famer with the Heartbreakers, was down in Gainsville, Florida with his original band Mudcrutch.

After 30 years of inactivity he had Mike Campbell and Benmont Tench (who are already Heartbreakers) join up with his two other buddies who were a part of the band in the early 70's.

They have recorded a killer Americanaish album which came out today.

Petty even went back to playing bass like the old days, and Tom Leadon shares vocals as well.

Here's the premiere of their new video "Orphan of the Storm" from Spinner.

Video: Santogold "L.E.S. Artistes" (Live on Conan O'Brien)

She's been all the talk on the blogs for awhile now, and after Santogold's impressive gig at Coachella over the weekend, and her appearance on Conan last night, the buzz is about to get bigger.

Oh, and the fact that her new album comes out today doesn't hurt either.

New Music: Coldplay "Violet Hill"

The new Coldplay track slowly fades in and Chris Martin comes in to a mellow beat and a steady piano around the :30 mark.

For Coldplay it's actually a rockin' track, but for anybody else, it would be considered a ballad, if that makes any sense.

It's not as emotionally driven as something like "In My Place", but in a slow/mid tempo pace, it's not bad. Inevitably the song falls into a break in the middle of the song, where it's just Martin singing on a piano-then the band kicks in once again.
