Loads Of Deftones Goodness

The single for Deftones' "You've Seen the Butcher" is out and the best part about it, besides the great song that makes the single, is the Midnight Airport Version of the single. This version features Deftones vocalist Chino Moreno and Far guitarist Shaun Lopez providing a hauntingly beautiful, stripped down take on the track. It is the perfect compliment to an already great song. You can check out the track below and purchase it here to add to your collection or, if you have not already, use it to start your Deftones collection.

Neil Young and Bruce Springsteen Whip Their Hair

On last night's edition of Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, Fallon brought back his hilariously spot-on impression of Neil Young. In previous sketches, Young tackled TV theme songs and bizarre American Idol moments (The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, "Pants on the Ground") but this time the song of parody was Willow Smith's annoyingly popular single, "Whip My Hair." Adding to the humor was the night's hour-long guest, Bruce Springsteen, complete with a fake beard, on vocals and guitar. Check out Neil Young and Bruce Springsteen take on "Whip My Hair" after the jump

Band of Horses Premieres 70's Biker Themed Clip For "Dilly"

Bikers! Shootouts! Awesome dance moves! Clearly, this could only be the video for Band of Horses' "Dilly". The clip for the Infinite Arms track debuted on IMDb today and features all of the aforementioned things with a 70's film look to it.

Prodigy Remixes 99 Problems

To state that I am not a big fan of Jay-Z would be the biggest understatement ever made. All the same, there are a handful of Jay-Z songs that I genuinely enjoy and "99 Problems" is at the top of that list. There is just something about the lyrics of the song that makes it such a great song as proven by the remixes of the track as well Mike Shinoda of Linkin Park tackling the song during their brief mash-up release with Jay-Z (Collision Course). Thanks to Prodigy's Liam Howlett, one more remix can be added to the lot. Check the Prodigy mastermind's awesome take of the Jay-Z/Rick Rubin collaborative classic.

Ain't No Party Like An S Clone Party

Cloning? S Club? A movie featuring both? Not since Kiss Meets the Phantom of the Park has there been a compelling movie about global domination, doppelgangers and advances in technology using pop stars. Well, technically, there still had not been until Simon Fuller decided that the world needed an S Club movie in which the pop group is cloned into popbots. Yeah, I said that.

The Electrobilly Sounds Of Bosco Delrey

Without a doubt, there are plenty of unique artists out there but few of them, if any, successfully fuse rockabilly with electronics better than Bosco Delrey. His sound is as influenced by Jerry Lee Lewis and garage rock as it is by the sounds heard in classic science fiction films and hip hop all while utilizing a vintage, lo-fi production quality on the recordings. This combination provides one of the most unique and creative sounds around and worth your time to check out. After the jump, check out a couple of videos of Delrey in concert as well as list of the remaining concert dates he has opening for Magic Kids.

Filter (Cubby Bear - November 6, 2010)

Filter has made quite the comeback thanks to the critical success of their current album, The Trouble with Angels. As Saturday night's performance at Cubby Bear proved, the band and its current lineup were definitely at the top of their game as they bulldozed through selections from their catalog. Equally as impressive as their set was the opening performance from Sacramento's Middle Class Rut. Both bands helped heat up an otherwise chilly night in Wrigleyville.

Magestik Legend's Fan-Made Video For Scream

If you follow this blog or have read any of my comments posted on Hey! Look Behind You! or From Midnight, With Love, my love of horror films has been well documented. With that said, the fan-made video Magestik Legend's "Scream" is a pretty awesome due to the editing and collage of classic horror films which works perfectly with the instrumental track of the song and its sinister keyboards, snares and handclaps. On top of that Magestik Legend completely rips the track apart with equally awesome delivery.

Rubblebucket + PVC Pipes and Fabric = Video Awesomeness

Hands down, this is one of the coolest videos I have ever seen for a song so undeniably catchy. From the horns to the rhythm section to the synths, Brooklyn eight-piece Rubblebucket have created a truly original sound and song in "Came Out of a Lady." Check out the equally awesome video for the single which was created by the band's drummer, Dave Cole, and frontwoman, Kalmia Traver, after the jump and catch the band on tour as well.

Mayer Hawthorne and the County (Subterranean - October 27, 2010)

From the moment Mayer Hawthorne and the County stepped on the stage, the tightly packed floor of Subterranean transformed into something else, a dancehall where people came together to the 60's soul and doo-wop revivalist sounds coming from the stage. It was a moment in which youth and fun truly took over and was further aided by the County's matching prep school/prom performance attire as well Hawthorne's own attire of a three piece suit and glasses. This moment in time, however, was too brief.
