After watching this video I now want:
a) Kiss Reid’s hat
b) My own pair of Maracas
c) TO HAVE BEEN THERE!

For months it has simply been referred to as the ‘Paul Dempsey solo album’. 

Pay close attention, dear readers, because we now have a title, Everything Is True. It will be out August 14th.  In honour of that, take another listen to the first single ‘Out the Airlock’.

Much, much more to come!

What a Friday treat!

We awoke this morning to find the new trailer for the forthcoming vid for Empire of the Sun’s Standing On The Shore. It was filmed just north of Perth in Western Oz – the most isolated city in the world and incidentally the home of the one and only Emperor Steele!

Not sure whether to be freaked out or turned on by the lycra swordfish girls…

As announced by Mike D, Adrock and MCA themselves on NBC’s Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, was the title for the upcoming new Beastie Boys album HOT SAUCE COMMITTEE. The band’s eight album of all new original material will drrrrop this spring, with an exact date to be confirmed shortly.

The B Boys have also been going all Willy Wonka on our booty too with a golden ticket style roll out of random seven inch vinyl copies of new track “Lee Majors Come Again” and the acapella version of “B Boys In The Cut” as part of the recently released deluxe vinyl edition of Check Your Head. One copy of the seven inch was found selling on eBay for $105 – that’s $25 above the list price of the original Check Your Head package in which it was included in!

The new track “Lee Majors Come Again” has just made it’s way to YouTube. So much Beasties action that I need to take a moment!

…and check them ripping out “So What’cha Want’ featuring The Roots on Jimmy Fallon earlier this week.

Did you get your free live album yet from Coldplay? Ok, good, that means you’re keeping up with Coldplay. But in case you haven’t gotten over to the interview with Chris Martin on Coldplay.com, we’ll provide the abridged version:

• They’ve made a video for Strawberry Swing. And according to Chris, “It is a new concept in video making.”
• Chris is revisiting REM’s classic album Murmur.
• He’s listening to Lily Allen too. She’s fantastic but can make a grown man feel like a tosser!
