This happened on the BBC's Radio 1 Live Lounge. The Pretty Reckless power their way through a mashed up rendition of The xx's Islands and Eminem and Rihanna's current chart topper, Love the Way You Lie.
I kind of dig it.
mp3: The Pretty Reckless - Love The Way You Lie vs Islands (Eminem, Rihanna vs The XX Cover)
Taylor Momsen, who plays lovable, annoying bitch-twat Jenny Humphrey in The Great Show Of Our Time, Gossip Girl, took the time to record this acoustic cover/mash of the xx’s “Islands” and Rihanna’s hook on Eminem’s ridiculous “I Love The Way You Lie” — which is actually conceptually cool. And to be honest, it sounds great too. I didn’t expect this gigantic, smokey 90s alt-rock chick voice to come from Little J. Listen to the cover below:
Oh and by the way, her band’s name is The Pretty Reckless. I’m guess Paramore but blonde, running mascara and possibly carrying Chuck Bass’ bastard?
*Apologies for the numerous Gossip Girl references.

Earlier this month, Chiddy Bang stopped by and performed a couple of tracks for the good people at Cleveland’s 96.5 KISS FM, including The Swelly Express track “Dream Chasin’” and a brand new track off their upcoming debut LP, which will hopefully come out “at the end of Fall… September, October”. We don’t know what the brand new track is called yet, but we can tell that it samples Dr. Dog’s “My Old Ways”. (Continue Reading to WATCH)
The Ting Tings are back with this Kyle Minogue-tinged dance-floor filler “Hands,” taken from their still untitled sophomore album. The song was recorded in the Ting Tings’ home studio and mixed by label mate Calvin Harris (which would explain the Minogue-ness of it all); and I wouldn’t be surprised if the song’s refrain: “Clap your hands if you’re working too hard” becomes a ubiquitous yuppie anthem in the upcoming months.

It’s a proven fact that Jay-Z can be mixed into any form of alternative rock and still sound amazing — be it The Beatles’ White Album, Coldplay, Radiohead or Weezer — so why not fuse Jay-Z’s immortal rhymes with the inescapably catchy noise of Sleigh Bells? WHY NOT? (Continue Reading)
Free Energy’s “Bang Pop” is easily the most instantly gratifying summer anthem of 2010, and this Fools Gold remix feels like quite the opposite. Where the original makes you want to speed down the highway and shout along to the lyrics, Lewis Pesacov’s remix is chill, mellow and gradually building; losing all affect on your car’s stereo. Don’t worry, the remix is still a hero on your headphones. (Continue Reading)
Flying Lotus is following up the undeniably excellent Cosmogramma with a seven track EP called Pattern+Grid World, later this year. Flying Lotus and Warp were kind enough to to upload the track to a SoundCloud account and let all of us listen to one of FlyLo’s most chipper tracks to date — “Camera Day”. (Continue Reading)

Brooklyn’s wonderfully hypnotic (and possibly psychotic) Blondes have chopped Rihanna Spring 2010 earworm “Rude Boy” to high heaven on this remix. Also: 1,000,000 bonus eMusic points to those who can name the slippery Mariah Carey sample.
This nasty cut is taken from a five-MP3 compilation called Autumn Feelings, which you can better grab here. Download the uber-hip Rihanna remix below:
