Sacred Bones Records Presents: The Men - "Another Night" (Tomorrow's Hits)

"We had been kickin' the horns idea around for a little while, thinking about Fun House by The Stooges, Exile On Main Street by The [Rolling] Stones, and all those old classics Stax and Motown records," The Men singer-guitarist Mark Perro recently told Rolling Stone. It seemingly exemplifies the most Punk Rock, rebellious quality about The Men; their ability to effortlessly switch genres... whether it be Punk Rock, Country, Classic Rock, Surf-Rock, Folk-Acoustic, and now Bluesy Rock "N" Roll. "Another Night" kinda sounds like some retro Springsteen melded against a righteous-sounding Blues-Jazz high school band. Although The Men are a former Post-Punk Noise band formed in Brooklyn around 2008, who most recently released New Moon and Campfire Songs EP, somehow both issued through out the course of 2013. After a few solid repeated listens, I'd guess that "Another Night" is about a failing relationship on the rocks: "Well, hey baby, I just can't take another fight. And I just can't stand to stay here another night... Oh, we gotta just keep on tryin'. It'll be alright! And we gotta just keep on tryin' for another night." "Another Night" is the third proper pre-release track pulled from The Men's forthcoming album, Tomorrow's Hits (due March 4th), along with "Pearly Gates" and "Different Days," which was also unveiled Monday afternoon. Tom Breihan went on to describe the latter track's execution as if "a Krautrock crew [were] trying to find room for a little bit of Allman Brothers choogle-boogie in their staring-into-the-void rhythmic infinity." It was moderately interesting to learn that Tomorrow's Hits was actually recorded before New Moon, but New Moon ended up being released first, for whatever reasons; not entirely unlike The Beatles' final two haphazardly-released albums, Abbey Road and Let It Be (1969-70).

[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

"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
