It's the Supersound

Last year, Fyfe Dangerfield’s “When You Walk In The Room” grabbed hold of our attention and just wouldn’t let go; and now the former Guillemots front man is taking out Girls Aloud’s massive hit “Call The Shots” for a spin. Dangerfield takes Grade-A Britpop and gives it an acoustic heart, his voice soaring full of soulful peaks and melancholy valleys. It’s a great, completely new look for one of the better pop songs of the last decade. Listen to and download the track below:

NEW: Kanye West – “Lost In The World” f/ Bon Iver & Gil Scott-Heron

When Bon Iver’s Justin Vernon dished that he was going to be featured on Kanye West’s upcoming album, we all sort of freaked out. We saw Vernon’s versatile and immense talent adapt to Kanye’s own style on the overstimulating “Monster”, but on the newly leaked “Lost In The World,” Kanye kicks it up a notch. He takes Bon Iver’s heavily auto-tuned “Woods” and builds a beast of a track around it, perfectly marrying two musical polar-opposites together. The song’s outstanding closing moments features some vintage Gil Scott-Heron spoken word. Hear the track below: (Continue Reading)

I’m fixin’ to get Crushed tonight…are you?

Either way, there’s a ton of awesome awesomeness happening in music town. So let’s drop some knowledge.

Metallica wrapped up their current run of European dates last night by letting the crowd decide part of their setlist. link

Kate Moss shimmies along to The Strange Boys’ Be Brave for TopShop. At the 1:26 mark you can see her butt, kind of. link

Friends Electric drop by with new song Wall Of Arms. Frankly, it warrants a full on post, but they’re releasing a video for it in a few days, so we’ll save our words til then. Grab the song below.

I know it’s been out for a hot minute, but I finally (on the late tip) got serviced Lloyd Banks’ Beamer Benz or Bentley remix with Ludacris, The-Dream, Jadakiss and Yo Gotti. We go hard and we download for free.

Fyfe Dangerfield dropped by the East Village Radio booth for an acoustic performance yesterday. link

The time has come. We’ve mentioned it here and there over the past few weeks, but now it’s time to formally bring back the curtain on our official showcase at SXSW 2010. Over the last few months we’ve pieced together a dream line up, plucking our favorite young talent from both sides of the Atlantic. We’ve got our go-to partystarters Yes Giantess crushing it in the late night slot, our main man Samuel getting things going early on, one of our favorite musicians of all time in Guillemots frontman Fyfe Dangerfield, and the one and only Marina & The Diamonds (hot on the heels of her NYC debut with us) headlining the night and rounding out what we expect to be one of the premier lineups of the week. Shit is going down Thursday night at Lamberts (401 W 2nd Street) from 10pm until late, official SXSW badge required for entry. Running times as follows:

10:00pm: Fyfe Dangerfield // MP3: “When You Walk In The Room”
11:00pm: Samuel // MP3: “Fader”
12:00am: Marina & The Diamonds // MP3: “Hollywood” (Gonzales Version)
01:00am: Yes Giantess // MP3: “The Ruins”

The venue is not large and will reach its capacity, so come early if you want a piece of the action.
