I had loads of fun watching the new and intense Dead Weather video for “Treat Me Like Your Mother” released just last week, even though the track is kinda my least favorite off Horehound. Today, we’ve got something maybe even better – a Diplo remix of “Treat Me Like Your Mother.” I’ve always loved Diplo’s work. He has this uncanny talent of being able to reinvent songs, through his clever sample and beats arrangements -…

After last week’s cover of All For The Best, Thom Yorke is back once more, this time with a splendid new song. During his stint at the Suffolk-based Latitude festival Thom premiered the acoustic darling “The Present Tense,” which simply shined among the rest of the Eraser, Radiohead gems.

“Ciao My Shining Star: The Songs of Mark Mulcahy” is simply a stunning compilation, however the circumstances that lead to its inception are no less than shattering. The tribute album is packed with various covers of some of Mark Mulcahy most brilliant song to support his work as he tends to his three years old twins, after their mother tragically died a year ago.

… except for the genre break through act Modest Mouse, that is. More than 15 years ago, Isaack Brock’s gang was playing music so original, so unidentifiable, so hard to mimic, that it was almost impossible to categorize into a genre, nowadays plainly called indie rock. Modest Mouse’s last studio effort, their fifth, titled “We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank,” was really amazing and uplifting, like much of the rest of their catalog,…

Music is his life’s driving force, it’s in his mind, his spirit and heart. Tons of respect for this, Dizzee, and for your incredible music. Yes, Dizzee Rascal is undoubtedly my favorite grime musician and one of the few modern day UK rappers who can actually stir up…
