Madonna is tying herself to what she thinks is cool again. But it's got to be better than the Who Remember when Justin Timberlake ripped the cloth from Janet Jackson's breast at the Super Bowl in 2004 to reveal an imposing industrial tit? (Insert your own Nine Inch Nails joke here.) Pre-boob, the supermassive pop stars of the day – Britney , Nelly, N*Sync and Christina Aguilera – got a chance to perform in front of 110 million viewers. After it, the list of special guests reads as if disco never happened: Paul McCartney , the Rolling Stones , the Who and ...

Januar via Domino in die hiesigen Plattenregale wanderte. Wer bisweilen noch nicht in den physischen Genuss der Platte gekommen ist, kann sich noch immer »hier den Komplettstream zu Gemüte führen. Einmal mehr präsentiert das britische Quartett seine Vorliebe für surreale Bildkunst, denn wie zuletzt "You Wish You Were Red" brilliert das neue Werk durch das Zusammenspiel schillernder Farben in düsterem, nahezu morbidem Ambiente.

Young Turks (the label responsible for releases by the xx, Chairlift, SBTRKT, El Guincho, Wavves) has taken residence at Australian station 94.1 FBi Radio this week, and yesterday, not only did they haul in Chairlift — who performed live in the studio — they also premiered new music by both members of the xx: one instrumental reinterpretation by Jamie xx, and one mixtape, by Romy xx.

At about 49 minutes on the embed below, the xx’s sonic architect, Jamie, shares the latest iteration of his by now practically patented steel-drummed/florid-house dance music. There’s a disassociated vocal sample offering instruction in rhythm, there’s the reverberating sounds of an island getaway and tropical cocktails, and there’s the underbelly of a mid-tempo beat for [...]

STS continues to tease his track-flipping GOLDRush collection (dropping Feb. 29th) with latest installment “Downhill”, an introspective bent powered by the oft-sampled gloomy indie pop of The xx’s “Shelter”. As producer Eric Hahn adds a subtle knock to the track’s dreamy, nocturnal melancholy, “Downhill” sees STS stewing within the muted excitement of being thisclose to [...]
