New Video: Morrissey-"All You Need Is Me"

From Morrissey's Greatest Hits package, a nice new rocker where he slams his critics for not focusing on the world's problems and only on him.

He sure plays a mean tambourine....uh, yeah.

New Video: MGMT "Electric Feel"

We get the second video for "Electric Feel," one of the best tracks off of Oracular Spectacular from MGMT.

It's a dance party in the jungle baby.

Radiohead and Prince Creep Controversy

You remember Prince blowing apart Coachella, which included many surprises including his cover of Radiohead's "Creep?"

Of course, Prince, not understanding the concept of YouTube actually promoting him, has everything yanked the millisecond it shows up anywhere, including the "Creep" footage, which by the way was shot by a fan, not by his people.

Thom Yorke of Radiohead was also denied seeing the footage-you know, the guy who actually wrote the damn song. As Yorke says, "Surely we should block it. Tell him to unblock it. It's our ... song."

He also went on to say that the mere fact that Prince even performed it was "Hilarious."

The Stiils Announce New Album Details

By all indications, the Stills are back in a big way as many that have heard the new album and/or the material live, are gushing about Oceans Will Rise, due on Arts and Crafts on August 19th.

Some are describing the record as a bold new musical stride forward, while keeping that hook heavy sound that we've come to love.

Video: The Ting Tings "Shut Up and Let Me Go (Live)"

The Ting Tings are about the hottest thing on the planet right now, thanks in part to their new release of "We Started Nothing," and their iPod song for "Shut Up and Let Me Go."

The duo performed this a couple weeks ago in their first appearance in Los Angeles ever at the Jensen Rec Center.

Rolling Stone Reviews New My Morning Jacket Record

Rolling Stone reviews My Morning Jacket's forthcoming record Evil Urges, which from what I've heard so far, is in my Top 10 Albums of the Year already, without even hearing the whole thing.

Interestingly enough, this is a major leap for the band-in part thanks to their newfound Prince influence on "Evil Urges," and a killer track "Highly Suspicious."

Jim James goes into full funk/falsetto mode, and it is just another layer to their already strong craftsmanship.

RS says that Evil Urges for My Morning Jacket takes the same kind of creative leap that Wilco took on Yankee Hotel Foxtrot and Radiohead took on Kid A.

Video: Sunset Rubdown: "You Go on Ahead" (Live on "Black Cab Sessions")

I believe this may be a first in the Black Cab Sessions-a keyboard featured in the back seat.

Sunset Rubdown were cruising through London recently with a guitar, keyboard and tambourine and performed the track "You Go On Ahead."

I don't know how they do this. I would have been car sick.
