New music: Kanye, et al.
• So apparently Kanye was listening when I said that his new song at the VMAs was boring. It was all for me, and only me that he remixed "Love Lockdown," right? Listen here.
• TV on the Radio released their video for "Golden Age," the new single off of their forthcoming album, "Dear Science."
I love the dancing on the mountaintops thing. It's kind of like their hanging out on the set of an art rock "Neverending Story."
• The Teenagers (the music group, not the age group) decided that what the ultra-preppy Vampire Weekend needed was more synth. I'm not sure I agree with them, but their makeover of "Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa" makes it an entirely different song. (via)
• I really didn't like Cold War Kids when their album first came out, but they definitely grew on me. And now I'm really into the lead singer's yelly singing voice. Their sophomore album drops next week, but you can hear their new single "Something is Not Right With Me" over at MTVu. I don't know if it's the economy/election/war/Amy Poehler or what, but I feel like a lot of people are feeling like this right now. C'mon guys! Let's get it together.
