Richard James has not confirmed or denied the whole affair, though he is pretty tightlipped about most things that aren't technology.
  • Charli XCX Records Japanese Versions of 'Boom Clap,' 'Break The Rules' [LISTEN]

    Even though Charli XCX's great new album Sucker was released in the United States on Dec. 15, it doesn't come out in Japan until Feb. 8 for whatever reason. As a special treat for her Japanese fans who have been forced to wait so long on the album (the ones who haven't illegally downloaded it, anyway), XCX has recorded Japanese versions of two of the album's singles as bonus tracks: "Boom Clap" and "Break The Rules," which you can check out below. In true J-Pop fashion, these versions find XCX singing mostly in Japanese, but switching over to English for some key phrases (apparently there's no Japanese translation for "boom clap").

  • Nathan Barnatt Dances to Skrillex's "Ease My Mind" With Niki & The Dove [WATCH]

    Nathan Barnatt is known for his creative and at times wacky videos, and his new clip for Skrillex's "Ease My Mind" featuring the vocals of Niki & The Dove is no different. Taken from Moore's 2014 album Recess, "Ease My Mind" has been one of the standouts from the album and has remained one of the lasting singles to come from the album. Barnatt's video does what he does best, bringing his whacked out dance moves to the Skrillex-crafted beat. He manages to mold his odd personality and quick editing into a storyline about love and love lost that fits with the theme of the song. If it were not for the fact that Skrillex has pretty twisted videos and Nathan Barnatt is somewhat of a YouTube celebrity, someone might mistake this for his official video.
