Watch St. Vincent and Modest Mouse's Isaac Brock Guest Star on Last Night's "Portlandia"Last night's episode of "Portlandia" featured appearances by St. Vincent's Annie Clark and Modest Mouse frontman Isaac Brock. A spokeswoman from Drake's camp has responded to reports that he's being sued by ex-girlfriend Ericka Lee, who is asking for co-writing credits on the song "Marvin's Room" and seeking other damages: Pitchfork has two job openings, one in Chicago and one in Los Angeles. Mr. M, the latest studio album from Kurt Wagner's Nashville band Lambchop, is scheduled for release on February 21 through Merge in the U.S. and February 20 through City Slang in Europe. The band has added a big U.S. leg to its tour in support of the record. After the schedule, listen to album opener "If Not I'll Just Die". Billboard reports that the woman behind Drake's beloved drunk-dial interludes on "Marvin's Room" is suing him over royalties complaints. Erika Lee, allegedly Drake's ex-girlfriend, says she is the voice featured on the song asking the infamous question, "Are you drunk right now?" as he sloppily pleads his case against her current boyfriend. Photo by Loren Wohl "That song changed the game, we were the first band of our generation to write a really killer song that incorporated something that you could DJ in a club full stop with a punk vibe. People ask me about that all the time in interviews and I have been brushing it off for years, but I think it's finally time for me to claim it, to be myself, fearlessly. Ten years ago, I accomplished everything I ever wanted in music." -- The Rapture's Luke Jenner meditates on the 10th anniversary of the song "House of Jealous Lovers".

One of last night's "Jeopardy!" questions went like this: "SEATTLE-BASED FOLK-ROCKIN' DUDES: ____ FOXES". What?! Fleet Foxes have really made it to the big-time. Photo by Charlotte Zoller In an interview with Billboard, Justin Vernon said that Bon Iver was indeed offered to play the Grammys-- but only if the band collaborated with another artist. And so as not to compromise their music, they declined. Nas' excellent 2011 single "Nasty" still sounds great, especially with help from the Roots. He performed the song last night on "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon". In Jimmy Fallon's introduction, he yelled that Nas "will release his next album later this year!" Watch below, via the Audio Perv. The latest video from Neon Indian is an Adult Swim-produced cartoon for the dreamy Era Extraña cut "Fallout". Directed by Lilfuchs, the video pictures a scantily clad lady with a killer pink mane driving her 1980s convertible up to a gas station, paralyzing its workers with her looks as they touch up the car. Check it out, via Adult Swim: Photo by Bryan Bush The first thing you think of when you hear the words "Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue" is "indie bands," right? Right! Seattle duo THEESatisfaction-- whose name you might recognize from their vocal work on Shabazz Palaces' Black Up-- will release their Sub Pop debut, awE naturalE, on March 27. Below, stream a cut from the album called "QueenS", and download it from Sub Pop in exchange for an email address. The much-anticipated collaboration between Madonna, Nicki Minaj and M.I.A. is here, and it's enough to fuel .gif-based Tumblrs for at least a week. The video for Madonna's new single "Give Me All Your Luvin'", directed by Megaforce, features cheerleader and football imagery to coincide with Madonna's Super Bowl half time performance this Sunday. Yes, that is M.I.A. and Nicki Minaj in cheerleader outfits. Columbia is celebrating the release of Leonard Cohen's new album Old Ideas with the Vimeo series "Old Ideas With New Friends". It features contemporary artists including Cults, Greg Dulli, and A.C. Newman covering their favorite Cohen songs. The Sasquatch! Music Festival, which takes place at the Gorge Amphitheatre in George, Washington Memorial Day weekend (May 25-28), has announced its lineup. Supporting her just-released album Born to Die, Lana Del Rey performed "Video Games" on "Late Show With David Letterman" tonight. Here's the video for M.I.A.'s retooled/updated/new-old single "Bad Girls". Directed by Romain Gavras (of ginger genocide "Born Free" video fame), it features all kinds of crazy car tricks. Watch it below, via Noisey. Photo by D.L. Anderson In a recent interview with USA Today regarding his four Grammy nominations, Bon Iver's Justin Vernon mentioned a few projects he has in the works. He said that he has collaborated on songs with Alicia Keys and is working on a new album with Volcano Choir, "for the Japanese market." He's also making music with another project called the Shouting Matches, which he described as "sort of a blues-gospel band." Photo by Jason Quigley The Decemberists have withdrawn their support for the Susan G. Komen for the Cure foundation, following Komen's recent decision to no longer give money to Planned Parenthood. (Per the decision, Komen will cease to provide Planned Parenthood with crucial funding for breast cancer examinations.) NPR's got the music video for the Magnetic Fields' new single, "Andrew in Drag", featuring (somewhat NSFW) transformations into and out of drag. It was directed by Scott Valins. |
