An extremely well done cover of our second favorite track off of Temper Trap‘s debut album, Conditions has arrived in our inbox this morning. Fader is covered by the production group The Knocks, and it features vocals from up and coming NYC artist Samuel (above pic).

Stream RJD2′s ‘The Colossus’ Via MySpace

// January 14th, 2010 // 1 Comment » // News

Producer RJD2‘s album, The Colossus drops next week Tuesday [January 19th], and RJD2 has been kind enough to stream the entire album off of MySpace. From our first initial listen the vibe on this CD is laid back and chill music. You got a splash of pop and electronica, but definitely not the hip-hop sound he is (was) known for.

MGMT | Kids [Video]

// June 4th, 2009 // 2 Comments » // Video

After seeing countless home videos, some good, some bad, for MGMT’s Kids, it’s about time we get to see an official version.  Granted it took 8 months for this, but seeing the kid in the video getting scared is worth it for me (damn…I sound like an evil person).  I guarantee those are real tears from that boy.  All in all, MGMT, swear no kids were harmed during the filming of this video.  That kid reminds me of myself the first time I saw the video for Michael Jackson’s, Thriller.
