Converse All-Stars Band (2011) - "I'm a Goner"



On paper and in the mind of say... a white-collar record exec, the billing of "Matt & Kim, Soulja Boy & Andrew W.K." couldn't sound any more foreign. But in the eyes [ears] of a casual music fan like myself, it couldn't make any more sense! Just think about it for a minute: In essence, the trio is made up of 4 like-minded, happy-go-lucky PARTYING hit-makers and Pop Culture Icons. Forget the silly pre-assigned genre titles of Indie Rock, Hip-Hop, and Hard Rock/Metal... because @ their cores, each individual act produces a continuous flow of simplistic, life-loving Pop ditties.


Converse assisted with the task of getting the 3 artists in touch and is preparing to release "I'm a Goner" under their 3 Artists 1 Song umbrella; The imprint's back catalog consists of Best Coast, KiD CuDi & Rostam - "All Summer" (2010) and Pharrell, Julian Casablancas & Santigold - "My Drive-Thru" (2008). Various interviews, commentary, "PARTY TIPS," published articles, and other mediums have been neatly chronicled throughout @AndrewWk's Twitter News Feed... over the course of the past 15 or so odd hours since the track's release.
A music video was recently shot @ a long-abandoned New Jersey hospital; The clip will make its nation-wide debut this upcoming Sun. (August 21st) @ 1:30pm on MTV2. Note-worthy hits from the collective include: Matt & Kim - "Daylight," "Cameras," "Good Ol' Fashion Nightmare," / Soulja Boy - "Crank That (Soulja Boy)," "Pretty Boy Swag," "Kiss Me Thru the Phone," "Turn My Swag On," / Andrew W.K. - "Party Hard," "She Is Beautiful," and "We Want Fun."

[W]reckless, Topless American Youth: Lana del Rey - "Born 2 Die" (Britney Spears Birthday 30)

Lana del Rey [Lizzy Grant] effectively became 2011's "It Girl" with the release of her phenomenal debut single, "Video Games" (Stranger) . Like many struggling singer-songwriters, Grant has been signed, dropped, and significantly changed her public image since bursting onto the scene (2009). With that said, it can be assumed that Lana del Rey has collected just as many "haters" as she has avid supporters. To be perfectly honest, the only other artist I can think of that made this much commotion... garnered so much wide-spread buzz/hate and critical acclaim -- right out of the gates -- with just one track is Britney Spears . And maybe in this post- Mike musical era, that's the true synthesis of Pop Culture: Britney Lynn Spears . After months of repeated teasing and speculation, Lana del Rey 's major label debut, Born 2 Die will [finally] be released this coming Jan. 30-31, 2012. Pitchfork reports that it will feature "Off to The Ra

3 Feet High & Rising: Band of Bearded Brothers Cellar Door Moon Crow Unleash Rollicking Single "Whistler" from Upcoming Blues Rock EP (Bandcamp, self-released)

Whistler by Cellar Door Moon Crow British Rock 2-piece band Cellar Door Moon Crow mysteriously found and Followed The Witzard (@SharpCheddar856) on Twitter a few months ago. Their Facebook About section simply lists a brief, yet fitting, mission statement: "Band ~ Beards ~ Brothers Goodwin brothers Phil & Tommy . Sheffield, UK " and their accompanying Biography section contains a similar refrain: "Band ^ Beards ^ Brothers," as well as their Bandcamp page. There really isn't much else to be known about twin brothers Phil & Tom Goodwin , aside from the fact that they make infectious, down and dirty Rock "N" Roll —all entirely written, recorded, produced, and mixed in-house by Cellar Door Moon Crow (CDMC) themselves. CDMC 's Bandcamp page often tags their musical output as " British Rock , Rock, Blues Rock , two-piece band, Sheffield " and I would best liken their sound to a stylistic mix between The Black Keys , Thir

"Let Me Shine for You:" Lindsay Lohan for Playboy (Winter 2011-12 Leak)

Lindsay Lohan essentially embodies exactly "What NOT to Do In Hollywood :" Fame, fortune, success... sex, drugs & Rock "N" Roll . Within a fairly short period of time, Lohan somehow managed to obtain a plentiful helping of POWER @ a very young age. This gradual rise-downfall was captured on film; Between 1998-2010, she portrayed a wide array of roles across the silver screen in movies including: Mean Girls, Bobby , Herbie Fully Loaded , Georgia Rule, Machete , and Freaky Friday . Between rapid-paced film shoots, Lindsay Lohan also found time to record 2 Pop Rock albums for Casablanca , Speak (2004) and A Litter More Personal-Raw (2005). Needless to say, Lindsay Lohan has gotten roped up in a lot of troubles and woes with the law over the last 3-5 years... a vicious cycle of drugs, arrest, court, rehab, "daddy issues," jail time [Repeat]. That's the pure basics of it - But Google that shit for additional info, if necessary. Towards the end of
