The Beastie Boys release a new track called “Make Some Noise” on their Official Blog stating that:
This wasn’t really part of the plan, but since this track is out there we wanted to let you hear it here first, or maybe second. Enjoy.
The track will be found on the upcoming Hot Sauce Committee Pt. 2. It’s really good. Have a listen. Make Some Noise

I know that this blog looks like it might be nothing but covers of Pixies’ “Where Is My Mind” but I just had to post another one.
This cover, by the artist known as THePETEBOX, was made live using a guitar, beatbox, voice and an RC-50 loop station. What makes this cover particularly cool is that there’s nothing prerecorded or added post recording, it’s all live.
You can download the track free from Pete on his website
Because I’ve been in such an 8bit type of mood, I just had to post this cool version of Pixies’ “Where Is My Mind” created by Christopher Voss.
Once again, here is the 2011 SXSW music showcase torrent. This torrent contains 792 file (nearly 4.5 Gig) of music files from bands playing at this years South By Southwest Music & Media Conference.
If you’re not interested in downloading/seeding but still want to listen to the music try this streaming SXSW 2010 Music Player via Shoutcast.
The song “You And Me”, featured in the new film “Blue Valentine”, is of mysterious origins. All that is known is that the archival label Numero Group (which is an absolutely brilliant label that researches, recovers, remasters and repackages obscure pop gems that are no longer distributed) discovered the rehearsal tape at an estate sale in Columbus, OH. It was labeled only as ‘Penny and the Quarters’,
Directors at Numero have played this recording to over 100 movers and shakers from the time and no one has a clue who originally sang it or where it came from.
Regardless of its unknown origins, or popularity from the movie, the song is gorgeous. I think you should give it a listen:
Penny and the Quarters – You and Me

If you’d like, I have also created a torrent that contains a single .zip file of all the songs.

Photographer Thomas Brodahl says of the set of photos taken at Coachella back in 2007:
While waiting for Red Hot Chili Peppers to come on stage. I was standing in the photo pit shooting the crowd. Everyone was so sweaty and naked. Looked like a big orgy. Albeit not a very pleasurable one 🙂
While this set was taken way back in 2007, I’m still a little surprised that people care this hard about the Chili Peppers. Anywaste, it’s a great view of the inside (the band) looking out (at the audience).
