This new Bjork single is off of her upcoming album Biophilia. The album was partially recorded on an iPad, and each song off the album will be accompanied by an app that will provide a visual, interactive experience. Sound intense? It probably will be – it’s Bjork we’re talking about.
Biophilia is due out in September of this year.
Let’s see where we’re at…
02. Renew my passport
03. Go to as many of these music festivals as possible: Coachella, Bonnaroo, Ultra, SXSW, Electric Zoo
I didn’t realize when I wrote this list that achieving #4 would have a direct impact on not finishing this list item…c’est la vie.
04. Work Full Time
I got a yob!
05. Gain complete financial independence
Student loans. Enough said.
06. Read more books
07. Find new & creative ways to spread love and appreciation to my friends
08. Explore more of Miami
09. Keep up with Yoga*
I used to go the Yoga class here at Bayfront Park, but working until 6 pm hasn’t allowed me to go to this 6 pm class :/ I’ve instead found a great Pilates class ;D
10. Explore my creative side
I took the nifty little item for #1 and made these happen.
11. Go Skydiving with my brother Oscar
12. Get a new tattoo
In fact, I got two! 
13. Maintain a weekly schedule
14. Make a mix for my brother Daniel
15. Go to Chicago
16. Start running*
So, I didn’t start running butttt I did start going to spinning class at the gym, huzzah!
17. Let my hair grow out
18. Expand on my writing
My original intention with this one was to push myself to practice writing. Like any skill, you only become a better writer with constant dedication to it. At this point, I write on a professional and freelance basis, leaving my words to be criticized – and strengthened – constantly.
19. Write in my journal every three days*
I need to work on this one.
20. Take a cooking class
21. Abstain from shopping for a month
22. Do not smoke for a year
23. Go to a show once a month
This was my favorite list item. To enjoy all the music I did, click on over here and listen to the mix.
24. Move to Miami Beach
I’m not sure about this one. I love Miami Beach – but living there, especially when I don’t work in the area, is a huge difference.
Deadline: June 14, 2011 Today.
Although I didn’t finish each of the list items, I’m going to keep pushing myself to finish all of these list items. They may not have been completed by today, but I’ll get them done – sooner than later.
Young The Giant began releasing some videos via their YouTube channel as part of the ‘In The Open’ series, filmed by Alexander Shahmir. Intimate and warm, these videos show a much different version of the best songs off their self titled debut album.
They just released today for ‘Cough Syrup’:
TV on the Radio is going to release Nine Types of Light on April 12. This song is amazing, as is this video.
After a seemingly endless amount of time, The Strokes have finally released a follow-up to their 2006 release First Impressions of Earth . Their new album, Angles, will be released on March 22. Their new single still retains that awesome, gritty Strokes sound we all loved – and missed.
To experience the awesomeness that is ‘Under Cover of Darkness’, press play below:

Two succesful musicians, Tommy D & Jamie Scott, came together to make Graffiti 6. Each of these guys are respected musicians in their own right, with Tommy D being a producer and Jamie Scott being a singer who has toured with the likes of Alicia Keys and Kelly Clarkson. They have been enjoying a great buzz over in the UK since their October release of ‘Colours’, and are starting to make a name for themselves Stateside. Their album mixes in a raw funk sound with a myriad of other influences – it’s pretty hard to pinpoint their sound.
‘Stare into the Sun’ has been released over here as their first single. The playlist below is their entire album:
‘Sprawl II’ is a stand out track from Arcade Fire’s Suburbs, but these remixes are ridiculously catchy.
Let’s start off with The Hood Internet, who are known for making ridiculous mash ups. Their earlier Arcade Fire mash up was with Montell Jordan – yes, you read that correctly. For this mix, they mashed up 80s classic Blondie with ‘Sprawl II’ to create “Sprawl of Glass”
Next up is Tommie Sunshine, who infuses this track with a distinct electro flair. By far, the catchiest remix out now.
Thunderlust brings a light disco feel to this track, making it the version to dance to. Check out the remix below:
Still No Daft Punk
As you may have read here, there were a plethora of rumors surrounding the line up for Coachella 2011. Some of them were spot on, but noticeably absent from the line up is Daft Punk. If Daft Punk collected money from all the shows they were rumored to be playing at … well they would have enough money to never need to actually tour again (damn).
The King is Dead
NPR is giving an exclusive sneak peek of the new album from The Decemberists, ‘The King is Dead’. This album follows the release of 2009′s ‘The Hazards of Love’. The first single off the album, ‘Down by the Water’ is available on iTunes as a free download.
Until the official release date of January 18, 2011, NPR will be streaming the new album in its entirety. Listen&Love here.
