Oh my God, this is so fucking sick. Listen right right right now. Miami Nights 1984 made a Gotye-80s “Somebody That I Used to Know.” So, so good.

Awesome remix of Alice Deejay’s “Better Off Alone.” Such a classic FU song. Love it.

Listen: Cole and Nature Boy ft Lee Cartel and Kayne Ferguson
Yay for independent music! Driving Records Music is mah friend’s independent label in the Boston area. There’s a bunch of sick music on the site from a bunch of different independent bands and solo acts. Some of the music is free to download too. Nothing better than legal, free music from cool dudes, right?
Check out this track from Cole and Nature Boy featuring Lee Cartel and Kayne Ferguson called “No Choice”. It’s a cool as ice mix between alternative jam and hip-hop man. And if you end up digging the track, and feel like voting for something today, vote for it on Coast 2 Coast Mixtapes below!

Poliça’s video for “Amongster” is here!!
Poliça‘s new music video for “Amongster” could be a sexier jaunt from the days when Discovery channel and National Geographic actually showed anything pertaining to nature. You know, instead of such gripping programs as Alaska State Troopers, Doomsday Preppers or American Chopper. Maybe Poliça should be put in charge of their programming. At least then we’d have some hip kids looking at bugs in the woods with magnifying glasses, instead of motorcycle drama that has nothing to do with anything.
Check out the beautiful video already! There are hot people in it too, along with snakes, porcupines and snails.
Zetus Lapetus! Foo Fighters want to record in space!!!
Zetus Lapetus! I bet you haven’t heard that in a while!
The Foo Fighters reportedly want to record in SPACE. They would be the first rock band, or any band for that matter to do so. Maybe they’ll back Newt Gingrich and have a music recording sesh party on the moon! Nah, they can do it without his crazy lurking around craters and harshin’ their vibe. He’d probably murder them and steal their music. Who’s the pirate now, Gingy?
This is a totally cool idea. And totally part of the plot of Zenon Girl of the 21st Century, that I am DYING TO WATCH now.
I guess Beyoncé and Jay-Z wanted to be firsties to record in space. And to be honest, they certainly have a TON of money and connections, probably more so than the Foo Fighters do. But for some reason, I think rock music in space would be way cooler than R&B/hip-hop.
I don’t doubt that Bey and Jay could make some sick music in the space waves, but I don’t you think rock music would sound even more badass in space? Plus, Protozoa showed us it’s pretty f-ing cool.
Besides, it may look a little something like this (ok it won’t at all but shit, it’s Protozoa!!!!!!!):
Music: Regina
The first note I heard from the band, Regina, I fell in love. The music is so sweet to the ears, without being overbearing. Like a nice neighbor kid with good style.
The dream pop band (I am so in love with dream pop. It’s the calmer, and yes, dreamier, cousin of pop music), composed of three bandmates located in Helsinki, have been busy working on shorts to go along with three songs from their album, Soita Mulle (Call Me in English), that was released in September 2011. The shorts have been directed by Osma Harvilahti.
The first two videos of the three part series have been released. They are “Mustavalkeaa” and “Päivät Valuvat” respectively. The song titles are Finnish for “Black and White” and “The Days Are Flowing”.
Get lost for a few minutes in the beautiful music and videos.

Music: What will Gaga release this year?
Oh wow. If you haven’t seen this performance of “Born This Way/The Edge of Glory” from the Europride parade in Italy, you must. Her songs seem to take on a deeper feeling when they are slowed down and soulful.
Since Gaga will be touring with her Born This Way Ball for 2012 and into 2013, I’ve been wondering about new music from her, as that is a very long time to be touring (and for us to not have new Gaga music!). Last time she was in between albums, she released The Fame Monster that bore such already iconic hits as “Bad Romance” and “Alejandro“. However, an acoustic version of Born This Way would be mega awesome too. If Katy Perry can re-release her album with a few additions, then Lady Gaga’s re-worked acoustic version of Born This Way would certainly be a bajillion times better and a more worthwhile purchase.
I’m sure she’s got something up her sleeve similar to The Fame Monster, as wouldn’t it be a little hectic to record another full-length album during a year long world tour for a different album? But then again, it’s Gaga. Girl will WERK it, make that bitch crazy!
Listen: “I’m His Girl” by Friends
Fucking retro music video porn.
(But not actually porn, just really retro)
Can we take a moment to remember the genius that is Gaga?
Never forget!
This is the best VMA performance of all time. If years after the performance, it still makes your heart race and your head go “oh my god. OH my GOD. OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!”, then it’s safe to say that it’s the best, ever. And definitely my favorite Gaga performance of all time. The theater, the singing, the outfits, the shocking ending!
Perfect pop right here, folks.
Gaga, VMA debut, 2009.
Listen: Spectacle by Sean Lennon
This song is from 2006, but I thought about it in the middle of the night and had to write about it. I’ve always loved Sean Lennon’s album Friendly Fire, especially the song “Spectacle”. He also made a short film out of the album’s music (I can’t find the whole version on the internet anywhere. Come on, SL!)
At the time when the album came out in 2006, he dated/was hanging out with Lindsay Lohan (the good years: Think red hair, nice teeth and well before TV movies). And for some reason, whether true or not, I like to think this song is about her, because it fits her public persona so well.
Well I thought you were shallow/but then I fell in deep/why couldn’t you keep it our little secret/you’re my only weakness
You’re always such a spectacle/Guess it was the best you could do/Your favorite dress for the world to see through/ you spilled your drink but you didn’t mean to
Doesn’t that fit our Lilo perfectly?! Whether or not it’s about her, the lyrics definitely emulate the spectacle that has become Lindsay Lohan, even in 2006 when she was an It girl instead of (cringe) “Shit, gurl..!!”
