Garbage has all sorts of sci-fi and horror-esque things happening in this new red hot video for “Magnetized” from their latest album, Strange Little Birds.

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: QUINN LEWIS
interview by Michael McCarthy Born in Australia and currently residing in Nashville, Quinn Lewis is one of today’s most interesting up and coming singer/songwriters.

#songoftheday = NIKKI YANOFSKY: “MISS YOU WHEN I’M DRUNK”
“I only want you when I’m wasted,” sings jazz pop songstress Nikki Yanofsky on her red hot new single “Miss You When I’m Drunk,” a song that reminds me of the late Amy Winehouse with its soulfulness and lively tempo. The big difference here is that there isn’t any grit to Nikki’s voice. Instead, her…

I love it when artists and producers I love team up and this song is one such blessed union. It’s the latest track by Laure Shang, who’s famous in the Mando and Canto pop worlds but sings in English as much as Chinese, and it’s produced by Guy Sigsworth, whose work with Madonna and Björk…

interview by Michael McCarthy I recently had the opportunity to hear The Incubus, the forthcoming, third album by Revival Records’ group Famous Last Words, which is due out on September 30th.

#songoftheday = TAMMY: AWAY FOR THE WEEKEND
You’d expect a song called “Away For The Weekend” to be some sicken, sweet, saccharine, shit, but not in this case… Tammy’s “Away For The Weekend” is an intoxicating, trippy ballad-esque tune that’s much more inclined to soothe your soul than get you dancing… Now, if you want to zone out and dance in your…
