    Classic new wave group Simple Minds, best known for their 1985 hit “Don’t You (Forget About Me),” has shared a new single “Midnight Walking” from their upcoming album Big Music, which you can check out over at Consequence of Sound. The dancey track features some delicious synths that wouldn’t be out of place on an Aphex Twin song, so these guys definitely don’t sound like they’re stuck in the past.
  • Orbital Breaks Up for Second Time, Paul Hartnoll Announces New Project 8:58

    In a statement posted to their official website, influential British electronic duo Orbital announced they have broken up for a second time.

  • T.I. Shares Music Video For 'King' from New Album 'Paperwork' [WATCH]

    T.I. has shared the music video for his "Paperwork" track “King,” which you can check out below. Directed by T.I. and Phillyflyboy, the music video features T.I. paying homage to the famous restaurant-shooting scene from "The Godfather," and he’s got some pretty good acting chops to back it up. He’s no Al Pacino, but he makes it work.
  • Chief Keef Dropped from Interscope Records, Plans to Release Album on His Own

    Chicago rapper Chief Keef has been dropped by his label Interscope Records, "AllHipHop" reports. According to an anonymous source, the split occurred about two weeks ago in relation to the numerous legal troubles Keef has faced in the last two years, including drug charges and a shootout that occurred in Chicago in March.

  • Wiz Khalifa Shares Interactive "Stayin Out All Night" Music Video, Starring Tia Carrere of 'Wayne's World'

    Rapper Wiz Khalifa has shared the music video for his "Blacc Hollywood" party anthem “Stayin Out All Night,” but it is unlike most music videos you have ever seen. Though it starts off normally enough, with Wiz waking up in a zoo next to a gorilla and trying to figure out what he did last night — probably a typical morning for him — it eventually becomes interactive, allowing the viewers to choose which crazy situation they want to see Wiz get himself into. It is basically a choose-your-own-adventure book in the form of a music video. The video stars Khalifa alongside actress Tia Carrere, who you may recognize as Cassandra from "Wayne’s World."
  • Charli XCX Shares Colorful 'London Queen' Lyric Video

    Two weeks ago, British synthpop singer Charli XCX shared her punky new single "London Queen," and today she has premiered the song's lyric video over at "Nylon." The video's cheap, colorful animation is reminiscent of those old point-and-click computer games from the late 1990s like "Backyard Baseball," but it fits in well with the song's hyperactive melody. The lyrics are pretty confusing, though, so if someone can explain what it means to "feel like J.F.K." for "driving on the wrong side of the road," it would be greatly appreciated.
  • Ringo Starr To Appear In New Skechers Ads Next Spring

    Although the recent ads for Skechers' Relaxed Fit shoe line have featured sports legends such as Joe Namath, Joe Montana, and Pete Rose, the company has decided to take a more musical direction by recruiting none other than Ringo Starr to appear in their ad campaign. Radio.com reports that the former Beatle is set to appear in Skechers ads starting next spring.
  • Lorde Enlists Kanye West, Haim, Charli XCX for 'Hunger Games' Soundtrack

Other artists appearing on the soundtrack include Charli XCX, Haim, Bat for Lashes, Pusha T, Q-Tip and CHVRCHES.
  • CMJ 2014: 12 Annoying Band Name Trends

    An eye-catching name is one way to get people to remember and pay attention to your band, especially in a festival as massive as the CMJ Music Marathon. But when there are six other bands that have a similar name as you, it is probably time to rethink it. Here are 12 annoying band name trends in the CMJ 2014 lineup.
  • 8 Bands To Definitely Check Out At CMJ 2014

    CMJ 2014 begins tomorrow, Oct. 21, in dozens of venues across New York City, and with more than 1,300 artists performing, it can be pretty tough to decide which ones are worth your time and money. Though it is tempting to see some of the bigger, tried-and-true artists who are performing, such as Slowdive, Low and Foster the People, CMJ is more about catching up-and-coming talent you may have never heard before. Here are eight relatively unknown bands you should check out at CMJ 2014.

    Recently, pop legend Prince returned with not one album, but two new albums — "Art Official Age" and "PLECTRUMELECTRUM" — both of which were released Sept. 30. Though this is typical Prince eccentricity, he is far from the first artist to do this. Here are seven other artists who have released two albums in one day, including Guns N' Roses and Bruce Springsteen.
  • Kenny Chesney Shares Music Video For "Til It's Gone," Filmed Live In Concert [WATCH]

    Country superstar Kenny Chesney has shared the music video for his latest single “Til It’s Gone,” which you can check out below. The video is refreshingly simple, capturing a live performance of the song from the Georgia Theater in Athens, Georgia (though the studio version of the song has been overdubbed, instead of the audio from the actual performance we’re seeing).
  • The Game Shares 'T.H.O.T.' Music Video Featuring Problem, Bad Lucc, Huddy [WATCH]

    The Game has shared the music video for his single "T.H.O.T." featuring Problem, Huddy and Bad Lucc, which you can check out below. The Matt Alonzo-directed clip features Game, Problem, Huddy and Lucc partying around a pool surrounded by dozens of thots — consult an Urban Dictionary. There are some splashes of colorful animation here and there, which keep this from becoming a typical hip-hop party video.
  • Jenny Lewis, Conor Oberst Recorded Album Together 11 Years Ago Called 'Blood on the 4-Tracks,' Discuss Releasing It [WATCH]

    In an interview with "Noisey" — it is more like a filmed conversation, really — Jenny Lewis of Rilo Kiley and Conor Oberst of Bright Eyes revealed that 11 years ago they recorded an album called "Blood on the 4-Tracks." Though some of the songs recorded for this album eventually turned up on Bright Eyes and Rilo Kiley albums, the complete album has never seen the light of day, and they recently discussed releasing it.

  • Gucci Mane Shares "Start Pimpin'" Featuring Chief Keef From New Album 'Trap God 3' [LISTEN]

    Gucci Mane will be releasing his new album Trap God 3 tomorrow, Oct. 17, but today the Atlanta rapper has shared one of the album's tracks, "Start Pimpin'" featuring Chief Keef, which you can listen to below. The track features production from Honorable C-Note (as it's announced at the very beginning), though Gucci's flow remains pretty laidback for such an urgent beat. Chief Keef drops in for the track's second verse and brings up the energy a bit, which isn't really something you'd expect from him.
