Thom Yorke announced on Thursday that his new band with Flea from Red Hot Chili Peppers, long time Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich, Joey Waronker (Beck, REM), and percussionist Mauro Refosco would be playing a show at the Echoplex on Friday night. I got lucky and I was able to go. The band played songs from Yorke’s solo album The Eraser and new Yorke solo material. It was an amazing show, one of my favorites, and they’re playing again tonight and tomorrow night at the Orpheum. Check out videos, mp3’s, and photos from the Echoplex show after the jump… Two of the songs Thom Yorke alluded to several weeks ago on Radiohead’s deadairspace blog have been leaked. The video for his Miracle Legion cover, “All For The Best” is also available now. Check it all out below… “Feeling Pulled Apart By Horses” (Click here for MP3) “The Hollow Earth” (Click here for MP3) Video below… I’m a big fan of The Black Keys so I was pretty excited when I heard about their new hip hop project, Blakroc. The Black Keys are known for gritty, bluesy rock with a serious edge and their style translates very well into the world of hip hop. A rock hip hop blend has never sounded as good. It looks like the entire process of the collaborations was filmed and will be aired as a web-series on the official website. Also looks like Damon Dash was a big part of the whole project connecting the Ohio based band with hip hop artists from across the country. The webisodes and forthcoming self-titled album (due November 27th), features Mos Def, Q-Tip, Rza, Raekwon, Ludacris, Jim Jones, Pharoah Monch, and more… MP3: Blackroc ft Mos Def and Jim Jones – “Ain’t Nothing Like You (Hoochie Coo)”
“Tell all the kids summer is over. Tell them it’s time to come inside. Tell them it’s time to run and hide” Fight From Above is playing the Viper Room on October 10th. Make sure you don’t miss this…
And check out the recent article about them in Filter Magazine (here). Everyone in LA knows Dr Hollywood whether they know it yet or not. If you’ve been to the Staples Center or Dodger Stadium, if you listen to Power 106 and KIIS FM or watch ESPN and KTLA you’ve probably heard “We Run LA” which has become a modern anthem for everything Los Angeles. Their sound bridges the gap between hip hop, electronic, dance and pop music which is probably why it’s so popular in clubs and bars. The band’s own bio says it best, “There’s broken glass on the floor, smoke in the air, and panties on the lampshade; someone must be listening to Dr. Hollywood…”
Louie Rubio and Lex Larson, two Los Angeles natives, met in high school and eventually formed Dr Hollywood to produce and write for local talent. Add grammy-winner Richard “Segal” Huredia (Britney Spears, Eminem, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Hannah Montana) to the equation and you get Dr Hollywood’s brand of dance-rock, hip hop, and 80’s style synth-pop songs that DJ’s love to call their favorite. Hip Hop artists such as B Real, Too Short, and Obie Trice others have collaborated with the Dr for the band’s upcoming debut full length, Halfway To Paradise: Departures. They recently recorded a music video for their most popular track and changed the title and chorus to “We Run the Club” which will presumably have the same success as the original but on a much larger scale, even a worldwide scale. Soon it could be “We Run Las Vegas,” “We Run Ibiza,” We Run Tokyo,” and it all started with LA. MP3: Dr. Hollywood – “We Run The Club” (Download) A couple of weeks ago, I saw AM at the Hotel Cafe and it was an awesome show. His music reaches across a number of genres from psychedelic rock and folk to soul and classic rock, even jazz. AM’s new album, Future Sons & Daughters, draws on an eclectic variety of musical influences to create a blend of 60’s rock with well arranged, folk-rock pop music. It’s easy to hear the influence of past artists such as David Axelrod and Jorge Ben which produces a result somewhere between more modern influences such as Beck and Shawn Lee. Some of the songs have parts that really remind me of Clutchy Hopkins and Shawn Lee’s Ping Pong Orchestra. The wide ranging influences and the seamless blending of so many genres makes it hard to categorize as any one kind, but is entirely AM’s own, unique brand of music. Future Sons & Daughters is something special for serious music enthusiasts and casual listeners alike. And definitely make sure you check out the live show if you get a chance too. MP3: AM – “Grand Opinion”
Sample more songs from FS&D:
- Posted by Jneels - In case anybody wants some good rock for the rest of the week, here are some solid tracks… Nashville based The Features are backed by the Kings of Leon, which is nice. They tote instant sing-a-longs, bluesy lead, and even echoes of Jeff Lyne come through on ‘GMF.’ MP3: The Features – “GMF” Band of Skulls are buzzing LA in a major way. Garage grit and bluesy howls from across the pond seem like Jack White had 3 illegitimate kids back in his early Stripes days. Look out for The Bends in ‘Fires.’ MP3 Link: Band of Skulls – “Death by Diamonds and Pearls” Gliss is that electro shoegaze sound that can just as easily rock you to sleep as it can your ass and face…off. Where are Travolta and Cage when you need em? In drag and searching for treasure I guess. Terrence and Phillip will help you out Nicky… MP3: Gliss – “29 Acts of Love” MP3: Gliss – “Beauty” I cannot stop listening to Saint Motel. Their cross-bred Indie trends and tongue in cheek lyrics make for one hip mutt. Absinthe already turned you on to ‘Dear Dictator’ on the top songs of ’09 so far, so here are a couple more.
- Posted by Andrew C - Nike has been the kingpin of major sportswear for decades, but has yet to make a serious move into the “x” sports genre – that was until now. No doubt some have you have seen the new ads starring Paul Rodriguez that just recently launched for Nike SB (that’s Skate-Boarding for all you stoners out there). Ice-Cube and Kobe even make appearances. For the majority of us who are not as familiar with the sport, this move seems great –new shoes that we can all wear that look pretty damn sweet if you ask me. However, for the skateboarding community this transition is still up in the air. Nike has begun recruiting some of the sport’s most prolific skaters who are no doubt the fulcrum points for many niche brands in the skate world. The most recent debacle involves Eric Koston – who is, well now was the face-man for the Lakai skate brand. Many believe that Nike – who have decided to stay away from the sport for years due to its negative associations within the major sport community – are taking away from the integrity of skateboarding by integrating their enormous corporate structure. Either way, I think all of us can agree that this ad is sick! Check out the Nike SB website for the ad, a behind the scenes look and a list of the full Nike SB team.
