September 9, 1999Bonus MP3: Play-N-Skillz feat. Jay-Z -- "Checkin' My Fresh"
It's good to be Play-N-Skillz right now. The song you produced for Lil Wayne's Tha Carter III, "Got Money (feat. T-Pain)", was kind of a big deal, and it certainly didn't hurt the disc on its way to becoming the best selling disc of '08. And now, the song's been nominated for a Grammy--and the album for another two--meaning the half-Venezuelan, half-Argentinian brothers could walk from the music industry's "biggest event of the year" with as many as three take-home trophies. Nice.And that's to s
December 4, 2008Today In Music News: Zooey Deschanel's Engaged, Axl's Touring, Bands Need Beds and Jay-Z Got A Problem
Your daily dose of national music news for Tuesday, December 30, 2008... My life is over. Yes, it's over. The indie powerhouses known as Zooey Dechannel (She & Him) and Ben Gibbard (Death Cab For Cutie) are apparently (read: allegedly) engaged. He apparently popped the question on Christmas. The most wonderful time of the year my ass. I loved you Zooey! It seems the boys in "Guns N Roses" are going to tour for at least two years. Maybe. And it may start in March. We'll see.
December 30, 2008Today In Music News: Andy Samberg To Record Album, Kanye To Cry Any Minute, Jay-Z To Include Three Blog Faves On New Album
Your daily dose of national music news for Friday, January 23, 2009...Hey, did you like the Andy Samberg and Justin Timberlake song "Dick In A Box" (see above)? It was pretty funny, right? Well, Samberg and his comedy writing partners are coming out with an album now...I guess Kanye West has let the new emotional side of his music affect him. He feels like 50 Cent "spit on him" when he recently made some negative remarks about him. Kanye, try to remember this: When your sad and grumpy, down in t

April 20, 2009Today in Music News: Jeff Ament Is Still Alive, Kanye Blogs Against Twimposters, Stringer Bell Gets Musical
Your daily dose of national music news for Thursday, May 14, 2009... Pearl Jam bassist Jeff Ament and another employee of the band were attacked outside of a recording studio in Atlanta. I guess this ruins their chances of ever recording in Detroit. When Kanye blogs, people listen. After railing against Kanye imposters on Twitter (twimposters?) on his blog, the micro-blogging network swooped into action to take down fake accounts. Idris Elba, better known as The Wire's Stringer Bell, is putting

Your daily dose of national music news for Friday, May 22, 2009... Jay-Z bought out his Def Jam contract for a reported $5 million. Since he's got the spare cash layin' around: Jay, I could use some cash... The Arctic Monkeys used Black Sabbath as inspiration for its new album. Let's hope a deal with the devil wasn't part of the deal. Massive Attack is planning a "huge" world tour behind the release of their upcoming album.

Yep, Microsoft isn't ready to give up on the ol' Zune yet; it will launch the Zune HD in the fall. Looks like Jigga just can't stay away from the big labels.

September 8, 2009Top 10 Uses Of Food On Album Covers
As a rule, high-end food photography is supposed to make you hungry. Give the food some soft light, frame it carefully and from just the right distance and it'll look even better on film than it does on your plate. But then there's the strange alternate reality of album covers, where diesel #2 stands in for coffee, meat is decontextualized, and spaghetti is treated with a nauseating close-up. And that's all short of mentioning the worst thing music ever did to a great food: The Bacon Brothers. W
October 5, 2009Watch: Play-N-Skillz -- "Xxpensive"
Dallas natives and brothers Juan and Oscar Salinas, who combine to form Play-N-Skillz, have won a couple Grammy awards. And, in case you forgot as much, they're happy to remind you a couple times in the above video.Of course, that's not the sole purpose of its creation (though, certainly, it appears to be, at least in part). Rather, the above video for the duo's new song "Xxpensive" was posted yesterday to Youtube to promote the brothers' new mixtape, The Recession Proof, which will see its rel

Your daily dose of national music news for Friday, November 6, 2009...Even Jay-Z isn't cool enough for indie bands: MGMT said thanks, but no-thanks to a collaboration. At least he still has 30-something white dudes to lean on.Even though it's not even December yet, Amazon.com has named Neko Case's Middle Cyclone as the best album of '09. Premature evaluator, much? I think there's a pill for that.What the what?!?! Aerosmith is thinking about replacing Steven Tyler?

Your daily dose of national music news for Thursday, November 11, 2009...At least Jay-Z has good, cross-genre taste when it comes to picking music for his new label: He's signed the Ting Tings to Roc Nation.Looks like there are only two great bands left in the UK: Kasabian and The Arctic Monkeys. Of course, it was Kasabian's guitarist who said that.Already time for a Ladytron "Best Of?" I guess that's what happens when UK bands sneak up on you after several years together.
