Here is a video for 'Miss Me' by
Drake, the swooniest of swoons (before he takes his sunglasses off). It features everyone’s favourite imprisoned rapper,
Lil Wayne:
Although
MGMT’s latest album
Congratulations may or may not be considered an inside joke (it contains dolphin noises and jazz flute if we recall correctly), they are still as buzzed as ever. Download their set from their August 17th performance at New York’s Radio City Music Hall via
NYCtaper.
New Jersey lo-fi bros
Real Estate have a new single coming out in October, which you will be able to buy both digitally and on vinyl. For now, just be content to try before you buy:
You can download 'Dub Y Guaguanco', a track off
Quantic’s Latin dub reggae album
Dog With A Rope, from this here

Since
Arcade Fire is pretty much the king dick right now, we’ve already given you the
live video for the song 'Ready To Start' from their Billboard #1 album
The Suburbs, but go watch it again for kicks.
Same goes for the new
Cee-Lo song over at
KO’s blog. Listen to it here rather than on commercial radio, where it would be mad annoying as they have to blur out the word ‘fuck’, which appears like a bazillion times in the chorus. And now behold it inserted into appropriate movie scenes of films such as

Black City ‘won’ Best New Music over at
Pitchfork. If you believe everything
P4k says, that means you should listen to it. Or judge it for yourself. Either way, hear the entire thing over at
XLR8R.
The Potholes in My Blog x Prefix
Summer Sampler is kinda dope and very free. It features tracks from latest Plug Research signees,
Sonnymoon, as well as
Big K.R.I.T.,
Hezekiah and
Slum Vil. Grab it
here.
Antony and the Johnsons want to 'Thank You For Your Love'. They also want to send us subliminal messages that look like a gummy bear or small prawn on fire:
Vanity Fair tracked down the modeling portfolio of Ann Kirsten Kennis, a.k.a. the woman suing
Vampire Weekend. You can peep her work (and the gloriousness of the ‘80s)

Here is the video to
John Legend and the Roots’ interpretation of
'Wake Up Everybody!'. It’s a bit adult contemporary:
To even things out, let’s end on something legit the opposite of adult contemporary in the form of Hyperdub’s latest video from
LV. 'Boomslang' features an artist with an unpronounceable name (Okmalumkoolkat) and mad UV:
