Dan Auerbach's The Arcs Weigh In on Drake vs. Meek Mill Beef & Discuss Chinatown Hood Passes Within "Outta My Mind" (Nonesuch Records)

"Now accepting all reasonable offers for Nick's Honda. Contact The Arcs or Eddie Huang. Oh yeah... and new Arcs video drops this Tuesday... Go get the album too!! Bump it in your new Honda?" Dan Auerbach's The Arcs wrote on Facebook Saturday accompanying a brief 30-second trailer advertising their then-forthcoming "Outta My Mind" music video, as well as director Nick Walker's Honda. It would appear to be a purposely lo-fi, back seat-shot clip in which two unspecified Arcs members discuss the prospect of the brief hybrid trailer-web ad, which Walker commissioned that "might help save us;" anyone interested in buying Nick Walker's Honda can either contact The Arcs directly or apparent Dan Auerbach affiliate and Fresh Off The Boat creator, Eddie Huang. "These are people that I either met in the studio, or was a fan of the records that they made before I even met them... Richard Swift, I met him six years ago; we made a record together, and we've been great friends and made music ever since," Dan Auerbach recently told NPR in their Yours, Dreamily-centric profile. Dan Auerbach's second proper "solo" album, Yours, Dreamily, is now available in a number of formats on Black Keys-affiliated label, Nonesuch Records.

"And Leon Michels — every single day I was listening to this record by Lee Fields called My World. It just inspired me so much. And that was Leon — Leon, Nick [Movshon], and Homer [Steinweiss], they made that record together. So, it's weird how it's always been so connected," Auerbach further elaborated on the rather organic conception of The Arcs. Yours, Dreamily's 14 contained experimental-leaning tracks were recorded in over just two weeks at studios in Los Angeles, Nashville, Manhattan, and Queens and Auerbach says they were inspired by "old Soul records, Captain Beefheart, [and] newer Hip-Hop records." Leon Michels, Richard Swift, Home Steinweiss, and Nick Movshon have all previously worked alongside Dan Auerbach on records he produced for the likes of Lana del Rey, Ray LaMontagne, Dr. John, and even main band The Black Keys' critically-acclaimed 2010 effort, Brothers. The Arcs' second proper video-single lifted from Yours, Dreamily, only behind El Oms-animated "Put a Flower In Your Pocket," "Outta My Mind" is a trippy, psychedelic color blotted sensory experience; wherein Dan Auerbach & The Arcs rip through a rockin' and rollin' live rendition of their latest single, which is inter-spliced with an odd cell phone-shot Chinatown pass-revoking scuffle and bookended by about 10 seconds-worth of head-scratching banter on Drake & Meek Mill's recent beef.

"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...

Pop Artist & Surfer Chronicle Intriguing Ex-Pornstar In "SASHA GREY."

Seemingly made to co-exist as thought-provoking companion pieces... "LINDSAY LOHAN" directors Richard Phillips & Taylor Steele are back with their most recent Art Presentation, "SASHA GREY." The 90-second short film was shot in early May @ John Lautner Chemosphere House in Los Angeles, CA. Both striking flicks will be shown on a giant floating video screen [ "Commercial Break" ] @ Garage Center for Contemporary Culture in Venice, Italy (June 1-5). "Adult acting chops" aside, Sasha (23) seems very intelligent, captivating, free-spirited, business savvy, well-mannered, charming... and dare I say, "average." And I really think that's exactly what Phillips/Steele were trying to convey throughout the course of the piece; Grey's beauty, public draw, sheer likeability, and honesty will surely take her very far in future endeavors... Solidifying her [updated] image as a true "Pop Culture Figure." * Featured soundtra...

Jet Planes, Islands, Tigers On a Gold Leash: Lorde - "Royals" (The Weeknd Remixo)

I think it's pretty safe to say that The Weeknd (Abel Tesfaye) comfortably teeters the fine line between glitched-out smooth New Age R&B and hard-hitting Hip-Hop ; while the same could arguably be said for 16-year-old New Zealand new-comer, Lorde . Her break-out single "Royals" 1/2 jokingly shouts out semi-common bravado-worthy shit like: diamonds, "gold teeth, Grey Goose ... Cadillacs, Cristal, Maybach ... jet planes, islands, [and] tigers on a gold leash." But now, the Lorde/Weeknd connection has been further solidified, as Tesfaye recently managed to conjure up and release his own "Royals" remix. My beautiful girlfriend said earlier, and I paraphrase, that it "makes her wanna dance lol and she could [likely] hear this remix in a future movie!" Following the wide-spread release of her first 2 EP's (Love Club & Tennis Court) , Universal Republic plans to unleash Lorde 's proper debut album, Pure Heroine between ...
