The first day of FreeTulsa! had me missing the feeling of having thousands of people swarming the downtown streets of Tulsa like at DFest, but at least the local talent was there to play.
Mayola and BRONCHO easily were the festival’s highlights. Having only 30 minutes to put up their instruments, play a set and... Read More

Video of the Day: Chromeo, “Don’t Turn the Lights On”
July 29, 2010
An early candidate for funniest video of 2010 and endlessly watchable, so be careful — this could destroy your work day. Fresh off their Bonnaroo set with that guy in the picture, the Montreal duo will release its first album for Atlantic Records, “Business Casual,” on Sept. 14.

Music Review: Arcade Fire, “The Suburbs”
July 28, 2010
Rating: 90
Artists who grew up in subdivisions often live uncomfortably with warring feelings of love and disdain for the old neighborhood, that place of uniformity that, like it or not, made them who they are. Win Butler grew up in The Woodlands, an affluent suburb on the northern reaches of Houston’s great... Read More

Video of the Day: Janelle Monae feat. B.o.B. and Lupe Fiasco, “Tightrope” (remix)
July 28, 2010
A killer retake on the JB-style first single from “The ArchAndroid,” which is still the one to beat for 2010 album of the year. Janelle tweeted yesterday that the new Of Montreal is a masterpiece, on which she is an esteemed participant. We’ll see, but let’s face it — she knows from masterpieces.

Video: Flaming Lips summer acoustic jam session
July 22, 2010
A couple summers ago, the Flaming Lips donated a few tracks to the Bradley Beesley documentary “Summercamp.” Lips frontman Wayne Coyne provides a bevy of commentary before each song, but the tracks are a rare peak into some tunes the Lips never play live. You can watch the entire “Summercamp” documentary... Read More

The above album cover for next month’s “Surfing the Void” would seem to promise oddball musical left-turns and hilarity, but if this first single is a true harbinger, then what we’ll have are multiple auditions for the soundtrack to “Twilight: Breaking Dawn, Part 1.” Meh-ow.
