I done TOLD YOU.
Listen to Kanye’s new single on his website right now until he takes it down.
Update: Yeeep, he took it down! Here it is at The Fader.

Remember in our June issue when we first introduced you to These United States? The boys have been busy on tour since then, and last weekend they hit a new milestone when they played Lollapalooza in Chicago. Check out this tour diary they shared with us! Love these guys!

Kanye posted this cryptic tweet a couple minutes ago. Depending on how seriously you take it, we might hear some new Kanye chunes tomorrow, which will maybe confirm my hunch that Yeezy’s upcoming album is going to be the definitive album of 2010.
Or maybe he’s just kidding. The moral of the story is: if you’re not already following this dude on Twitter, get on it!

You guys, I love you all so much that I went to the store and picked this up for you. Do you like it? It’s new No Age, from their upcoming album Everything In Between.
Let this tide you over for now, but just know that we are thinking of you as we cook up some craziness behind the scenes. We’ll make you proud!

Roman Ruins Courtesy Golden Robot Records
Here’s your first listen to the new single from Roman Ruins, the side project from Beach House/Papercuts drummer Graham Hill. Hill’s apparent affinity for New Wave is all too present, but not overly done. The pulsating synth and staccato drum march steadily alongside Hill’s washed out vocals. Through combining a myriad of influences, Hill builds an impermeable fortress of sound that’s hard to escape. We already can’t get it out of our heads!
Take a listen here: The Comedown by Roman Ruins
“The Comedown” is available on 7″ on Gold Robot Records.

I’ve had a rocky ride with Weezer for the past 15 years or so. The thrilling highs, the befuddling lows, and their uncanny ability to do the very thing you least expect them to do at every turn.
Well, they have topped themselves AGAIN, which is staggering after the dog-jumping-across-the-living-room cover of Raditude, and the fact that Rainn Wilson named their last album, and that he named it Raditude, and that Lil Wayne was on the album in a song that Jermaine Dupri co-wrote. Forget all that. The new album is called Hurley (you know, the guy from LOST?), and the album cover is a big, glorious photo of actor Jorge Garcia’s face.
If that’s not mind-boggling enough for you, the lead single, “Memories”, is actually pretty satisfying. Loud, sloppy guitars, scratchy, shouted, emoted vocals, and a searing synthy hook that hearkens back to early b-side “You Gave Your Love to Me Softly.”
You never know what awaits you just around the corner with Weezer, but for now, rejoice in the fact that all the news is great news.

Did you, like me, miss Kanye West’s first ever ustream broadcast because you were at work? Well, watch it here, now! If you’re like me, you’re still wired from drinking purple Nos and grape vodka out of a goblet, so you are totally ready to watch the whole thing before going to sleep. Let’s sit down and have a look.

Incase you missed this earlier today (what, are you not following Kanye’s tweets?), get on it. Get your mind blown. Kanye insists it’s not a music video, but a moving painting, and you know what? He’s right.
