Source Lana Del Rey is in the zone! After booking some more venues due to fan demand (and it’s easy to see why), she released a new video – Bel Air. As we’re already used to, it’s a breezy, somewhat mysterious, but all in all beautiful tune, with a video to match it.
Villa Kang and Hazy Mountains – New Wings
‘New Wings’ is one of the most interesting tunes I’ve listened to all year, coming as a result of Canadian and German minds. The two sides involved are Villa Kang and Hazy Mountains, and as MP3 hugger puts it, their profiles would keep psychologists busy a really long time. But the production is great, the sound is just delightful, all in all, a really good song.

The Rolling Stones have had a whole lot of shots in their apparently century old career, and they’ve really made it count.

Kendrick Lamar teams up with Lady Gaga: Bitch don’t kill my vibe
Lady Gaga finally released her collaboration with rapper and buddy Kendrick Lamar: “Bitch don’t kill my vibe”. Lamar wanted the track to be on his debut good kid, m.A.A.d. city, which is doing really good, but it didn’t work out.

As usual, Mr. Waters hasn’t gone into many details about the album, but he did mention something very interesting… “I’ll tell you what the first line is – I haven’t told anyone else, and I may be sticking my head too far above the parapet,” said Waters, “but the first line is, ‘If I had been God…'” Oh wow, gee, you know that…
Green Day new album ‘Dos!’ streaming on Youtube
It’s been a really short while since they released the first trilogy album (‘Uno!’), and Green Day are already at it again. This comes in the aftermath of lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong entering rehab after his recent onstage tirade, something which led to several canceled concerts.

Yesterday (November 5), a spokesperson for Radio 1 explained it’s not a matter of age, that the song is dirty or anything, but rather a matter of relevance for their audience: “Radio 1 see it…
