EEEK! Into this. And I love the song even more with every passing listen. Jessica 6. White Horse. New video. So rad.
PS: J6 play an early gig at Mercury Lounge tomorrow, March 1. GO!

I've been listening to this smooth fix for a better portion of the past 2 days. I will also, undoubtedly, be giving this some ear lovin' for many more moons to come. Get it in and have a rad weekend. That's all for now.

You know what we really like? Good music. Loaded answer? Sure. But when it comes to newbie, James Delay, there's really no other option than to classify his gentle touches as really really good great music. Seriously beasts. And with the advent of a new song, which we're happy to debut here, well, shit. We let Delay's ditties do the talking.
The new song is called I Am Error.
The new song is a seductive slink through an instrumentally sonic scape that makes us feel some real feelings, much like his last tune, Howl, sent us through. This kid's got the goods.
And you can get 'em below. 'Em being the goods. The goods being this new jam.
Evan Rachel Wood, Chris Evans and a seductive scenario from bar to boudoir. That's enough to titillate the senses, eh? Add a dollop of Bat For Lashes covering Depeche Mode's Strangelove, and we're deep in the throes of "whoa my god's" and all that hullabaloo. Smoooookin'.
Directed by Frank Miller, the graphic novelist responsible for Sin City, the clip and cover comes from the parfumerie's latest campaign for Gucci Guilty, a new fragrance for women.
Safe to say that we are wildly impressed with all of this, scent unseen, errr smelled.
Gucci Gucci Guuuuud.

Is there anyone else right now who makes us more excited for the future of "new" music more so than mister Jamie Woon does?
Easy answer.
No. And "oh yes yes yes...", at the same time.
stream: Jamie Woon - Lady Luck
Anyone else think Beth Ditto looks mad crazy like Madonna during certain sequences in her new video for I Wrote the Book? I do, which can fall right in line with Gagagate and Born This Way blah blah blah I don't care swagger jackers etc etc ...
... just watch the video. This song and big Beth's voice KILL!
mp3: Beth Ditto - Open Heart Surgery
Never thought you'd see a Seal song here in these pages, eh? Nor did I, but when Brooklyn's Yeasayer heads down under, specifically to Australia's Triple J show to crush a cover of Crazy, the results are fantastic. It's like getting a kiss from a rose. #immediatefacepalm for that innuendo.

As I've simply been swarmed with a load of new developments in what some (and by some, I mean, me) may call a "rad little life", guilt has washed over me in the fact that I haven't checked in or dished out any new updates and thoughts (and free stuff for you) in regards to the HP ENVY Beats Edition system I've been rocking in my daily Beastonian adventures. And sure, excuses are a dime a dozen, but c'est la. So here are some words, and keep reading, cause I'm going to tell you something really awesome. Seriously.
The anticipated inevitable finally ocurred earlier this week. In taking great care of the Beats headphones (due to the "one piece plastic" curvature design), I'd always been a little wary of the construction, and thusly quite delicate with them... seemingly doomed to fail, I made it 3 solid months before, when in an act of simply and gently removing said 'phones from headspace, a gruesome "cccrrrracckkkk" was heard. Being that I was on the subway at the time, my heart sank, cause a train ride sans music, is one I never want to know. Valiant temporary electrical tape reparations aside (see image above), this pair of Beats now, sadly, lay unusable.
In lappytop news though... all's well in that world. I found a super slim and light backpack on Canal St (lol) that comfortably fits the machine and takes the weight off my back when in transport. Biggest plus and positive for me remains the speed and space offered of the Beats ENVY. I feel like I've downloaded more new music in the past month or so than ever before, yet there's still a load of free hard drivery to keep me amped.
Here's the important thing you need to know: I'm giving away a full machine, eventually, not yet, but soon. If you wanna "play like the Beast", then keep checking back here or follow me on the twitter. This computer is Beaston aproved, and I want you to get rad like me.
Ok, new mixxy edit thing time. Go!
mp3: Robyn - Call Your Girlfriend (Remixes - Hannah Rad Edit)
Specimen A's cover, re-rubbed, flipped and dubbed the whooooaaa out take on Foreigner's Cold As Ice is not new if you've been a proverbial blogdigger* over the past six months or so. But I woke up thinking about it, for whatever reason, and playing it gives me a perfectly good excuse to post a clip from one of the best television series ever. It's all below, and it's all rad.
*is blogdigger the new cratedigger?
Let's ask Gob Bluth.
The beginning sounds like the start of Hall & Oates' You Make My Dreams Come True, no? Yes, it does. Somehow this doesn't resonate as the strongest offering from her anticipated repertoire, I'd gather. But it's new Katy B, so, here you have it.
