New Ivana XL: “Red Red Sun” MP3

Since Lee has given in to The Man and gone to work, I’m posting this new Ivana XL on his behalf. And oh am I glad I get to. Because it’s a fun one. “Red Red Sun,” which again comes to us from Matt of You Aint No Picasso, is jangly and […]

The Slumdog Millionaire soundtrack

Now that it won an Oscar, everybody and their mother will go download (buy? On CD?) the Slumdog Millionaire soundtrack. Not that it’s a bad thing! I mean, the thing won an Oscar, so it has to be good. Right?

Overnight superstar, A.R. Rahman composed the music and performed with […]

In Case You Missed It: Week In Review

Yeah, you were definitely making weird pixelated videos to compete against Chairlift and leaking Yeah Yeah Yeahs tracks. That’s why we’re telling you what you missed this week on Knox Road.

Sunday:

Bob on B.o.B’s “I’ll be in the Sky”

Monday:

Awful person Santo Gold raps about stealing […]

Fist of God or I heart MSTRKRFT

MSTRKRFT is the only acceptable reason for Death From Above 1979 to break up. I really could not handle the break-up of one of my favorite bands to randomly happen…unless something just as awesome were to come out of it. So when “The Looks” came out in 2006, everything was ok in the […]

Frequent collaborators Grizzly Bear and Final Fantasy (essentially Owen Pallett) are coming to the Brooklyn Academy of Music February 28 (exactly one week from today!). Expect to hear plenty of horns (…get it?), strings, and anticipation throughout the audience for the […]

The White Stripes kinda disappoint on Conan…

For Conan’s last show in New York (before he goes and takes Jay Leno’s spot in Cali.) he asked the White Stripes to play. Given their rich history together (the music video for “Denial Twist”, the AMAZING performance of “Lets Build A Home,” etc.) you’d think the duo would have something awesome up […]

N.A.S.A. featuring everybody in the world on The Spirit Of Apollo

Beat-making duo Squeak E. Clean and DJ Zegon decided a few years ago to get some friends and famous people together to make a ridiculous collaboration album that would be totally rad. Well this past week that album came out and you know what, it’s totally rad.

Under the name N.A.S.A. (North […]
