Last year's Clash-sampling, terror-ific "Paper Planes" found a second life this summer, thanks to Pineapple Express and a bunch of hot rappers. Maya tells Rolling Stone, "The way human beings hear stuff, it's like, suddenly a song sounds better to... CONTINUE READING M.I.A. GETS MASHED-UP BY DIESEL, REMIXED BY JAY-Z»

The first annual Pemberton Festival, in the city of the same name in British Columbia, Canada, definitely did its work attracting the right names to attract the right attention -- Tom Petty, Nine Inch Nails, Jay-Z, Coldplay, the Flaming Lips,... CONTINUE READING PHOTOS FROM PEMBERTON FESTIVAL»

It's an unlikely trio of artist that are helping get Converse's centennial celebration underway. Maybe not the pairing of Pharrell and Santogold -- actually it's somewhat surprising that this is their first project together -- but Strokes lead man Julian...

Pharrell and N.E.R.D. have been on our minds a lot lately, the In Search Of...-era coming up by way of comparison when describing to friends the production ticks and sleazy beats of "Golden Prize," the first single from Apes & Androids' awesome debut LP. So, news of new N.E.R.D. is welcome, particularly because, as expected, they're flashing some new looks. And we dig at least one of them: The sax 'n' double-bass verses kill, but the hooks are soporifically smoothed out and the "all the girls standing in the line..." line is just another slice of "B.O.O.T.A.Y." Don't think Apes & Androids will sound like this anytime soon. N.3.R.D. is out sometime this spring.
