New Music Video: Vampire Weekend

I'm going to be completely upfront with everyone: It's not my favorite music video. It's not even my favorite Vampire Weekend video by far, but it's goofy.

"Holiday" - Vampire Weekend from Contra

Even Fresher: Kanye

The first single off of Kanye West's upcoming Good Ass Job features a sample from, of all things, a British prog rock band by the name of King Crimson. He's been off the scene for a little while, but it's the same old Kanye. Lyrics allude to SNL making fun of him (yeah, he's pissed about that), Austin Powers, and of course his own "Power." Oh yeah, by the way, that's the name of the single!

Enjoy

"Power" - Kanye West (Via Nah Right)

Good Ass Job is slated to drop in September.

Minty Fresh: Arcade Fire

Brand spanking new Arcade Fire.

I personally enjoyed "Month of May" more at fist listen, but both are different enough from each other to appreciate the work. The songs are sure to get people excited for Arcade Fire's upcoming album The Suburbs "sometime this summer."

New Remix: A-1 - "Electric Feel"

There's already been an entire post dedicated to Katy Perry's rendition of this same song, so for me to want to put up another post about "Electric Feel" says a lot. It's a "Rap Remix" which just means that there's added lyrics in there, and they definitely add to the piece.

New Single/Music Video: The Maine

Confession: I kind of really like the new Maine single "Inside of You." It gives me hope for their new album. With a band like the Maine you can make one of two mistakes with a sophomore album:

1. You can write the same catchy, shallow, probably immature (but still fun) crap as what was on your first album. It's not as awesome the second time around. Take, for instance Boys Like Girls and 2009's Love Drunk - not as awesome by a long shot.

2. You can take a risk and reinvent your sound only to end up with something... well, not fantastic. There may always be those hardcore fans a band may maintain, and they may gain respect for taking a risk and flexing some musical creative muscle, but in all honesty if it sucks, the "new" and "maintained" fans won't make much of a difference. For example, consider MGMT, and their (new-ish) sophomore album Congratulations.

THAT SAID, this new single assures me that the Maine boys won't make either of these mistakes!
