Another smash from Muse’s forthcoming album Drones. I think I’ve finally reached the point where I feel like Muse are even better than Radiohead. Muse is constantly re-inventing itself, each album having a whole unique feel and themes. And yet the songs are accessible.

Well, you’re either going to love this one or hate it. Personally, I found it a little unsettling at first because I’m not used to seeing Katharine McPhee like this. She’s so sweet and innocent on Scorpion. And she was both of those on Smash, too. And she didn’t get very risque when she released…

What a beautiful, tender song. Christina could have a hit with this one. Especially if they did a remix radio could play. Although I’d kind of hate for them to do that because it’s so precious as it is. But I really want Christina to be a superstar again, so if remixing this gorgeous song…

If you daydream about someone starting an empire for you, then Of Monsters and Men’s “Empire” is about to become your new theme song. “As the wind fends off the waves / I countdown the days,” goes the poetic song. If the lyrics aren’t heavy, the music certainly is.

“Lords of summer shall return,” proclaims Metallica’s James Hetfield right at the beginning of The Glitch Mob’s remix of Metallica’s new song “Lords of Summer,” which will be X Games Austin’s official anthem this year. Oddly enough, this remix is being released prior to the release of the normal version of the song. But that…

Make The Girl Dance is a French group that’s probably best described as danceable electro-pop, though their bio indicates that they’re influenced by things like 60’s French films, hand claps and the Eurythmics.
