Popping the Drop: A Timeline of How EDM’s Bubble Burst

Great read at the Pitch. I love this track too:

Cracked Actor: A Film About David Bowie

More Bowie: Check out this 1974 doc which inspired the director of The Man Who Fell to Earth to cast him as the main character. Bowie dove head first into the character and practically lived the role - the role which was partly inspired by him - which led to his so called Berlin period. It all starts here:

Courtney Barnett - "Pedestrian at Best"

Great song, so-so video. Reminds me of something the Smashing Pumpkins might do.

Genesis - Opening Night

Pretty cool Genesis doc. The album they're supporting on this tour is dreadful, however

Final episode of Serial

Can't wait!

Tried to embed the video here but it was too wide for the column.

Bowie, Eno and Visconti record Warszawa

This is the greatest video of all time. Lots going on here if you're familiar with Low.

Marlins Will Soar

It's practically an SNL skit... This one still makes me laugh. Scott Stapp doing a song for the MLB team the Marlins... I just... yeah.

Cut Copy - Free Your Mind

Finally got around to listening to the newest Cut Copy album... I guess I really have been busy if I haven't had time to catch the latest from one of my fav bands.

First few listens, it's not immediately blowing me away like previous efforts. Definitely feels like a grower. I love the Madchester throwback sound though.

St. Vincent - Digital Witness

Really liking this album. Been too busy to keep up with a lot of new music, so I've mostly been keeping up with artists I already know and love.

Feeling a lot of David Byrne on this album but I might be reading in to that too much, what with their recent collaboration.

Jay-Z - Holy Grail

What a piece of garbage:

Watch: You've Never Seen This Pre-MTV Video for Brian Eno's 'China My China'...

The Daily Swarm - Watch: You've Never Seen This Pre-MTV Video for Brian Eno's 'China My China'...

Watch: Snoopzilla + Dam-Funk's Video for 'Faden Away'...

Avril Lavigne - Let Me Go ft. Chad Kroeger

Here it is: Canadian Culture ca. 2013:

This pairing would have been inconceivable ten years ago. Inconceivable!

Continues the trend of awkwardly jammed in product placement too (see that Avicii video I posted the other day). The first thing I did was check the record label... yup. Sony.

Prince - Breakfast Can Wait

New Prince tune that has nothing to do with Dave Chappelle.

Avicii - Wake Me Up

This one is going straight to #1 on the Billboard chart for sure. Catchy as hell, your kids will love it.
