Broken Bells - October mp3

The Broken Bells album is coming in March. I have it now, and I'm trying to get into it now. For those who don't know, Broken Bells is DJ Dangermouse and the dude from The Shins.

Here is an album track called 'October'. It starts off slow and epic, but gets going pretty quickly. It's kind of a polished American indie-pop vibe, which Dangermouse can do in his sleep.

Update: mp3 removed due to the below:

"On behalf of Columbia Records, Monotone and Broken Bells, we would kindly ask you not to post copies of the "Broken Bells" / eponymous album on your site (or any non-preview tracks from Broken Bells’ new album - street date 9th March).We do appreciate that you are fans of / are promoting Broken Bells, but the label, management and artists would greatly appreciate your co-operation in removing your links to the pirate files in question."

Thom's Supergroup

Thom Yorke has pulled together a supergroup of sorts, including Flea and a chap from REM. Naturally, Nigel Godrich is also on board as a producer. A gig in LA acted as a rehearsal at the weekend...

-

"Flea, who began the evening playing nonchalantly off to the side of the stage, gradually moved toward centre stage, sharing the spotlight with Yorke while jamming on his bass guitar. At one point in the evening, a member of the audience shouted, "Play some Skynyrd!" Yorke responded by flashing both middle fingers, saying, "You think I should be playing Stone Temple Pilots too?"

Hmmmm. NME have the full story.

Alchemist & Oh No - Under Seige

Taken from the Californians' collabo LP, 'Gangrene'.

Oh No is the mighty Madlib's little brother (like I said before), and Alc is a Beverley Hills educated rich kid-turned Hip Hop Superproducer for acts like Evidence and Mobb Deep. He went to school with Angelina Jolie. He used to be in a group called The Whooliganz with Scott Caan (yes, the one from Oceans 11, who makes a cameo in this video around the 49 seconds mark, and is the son of James Caan, the hothead from The Godfather).
