Rasmussen Vampire Weekend leader Ezra Koenig has weathered through his fair share of Paul Simon comparisons. Now, he's meeting them head on. According to sources familiar with the project, the singer recorded a cover of Simon's 1972 track "Papa Hobo" along with rock legend Van Dyke Parks, and Fruit Bats' Eric Johnson for the upcoming indie comedy Ceremony with Uma Thurman. The movie was directed by Max Winkler (aka Henry Winkler's son) and premieres at this month's Toronto International Film Festival. No word on an official release for the track just yet.

Publ.Date : Thu, 02 Sep 2010 15:00:00 -0500 New Das Racist Video, Mixtape, Game Self-proclaimed "ethnic electronic band" Das Racist are also a good-humored hip-hop act from Brooklyn who have a playful, nostalgic, old-school-Nintendo-inspired new video out for their track "Who's That? Brooown!", which you can watch at Pitchfork.tv or below. If you remember Double Dragon or Rampage or Frogger, you need to see this. If you don't remember those games, get familiar! (You can actually play the game shown in the video here.)

Though the release features 12 new tracks, don't call it an album. Or else! It's out September 7 digitally and on CD and vinyl via Rhymesayers, and will be available to purchase at the merch table during the tour.
Publ.Date : Thu, 02 Sep 2010 11:45:00 -0500 Video: Big Boi: "You Ain't No DJ" [ft. Yelawolf] Hey, it's another new Big Boi video! XXL has the latest clip from the still-banging Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty, the Yelawolf-featuring "You Ain't No DJ". In the video, Big Boi and the Alabama up-and-coming rhymespitter do their hard-talking, cool-looking thing amidst herky-jerkily edited footage of breakdancers, mean-looking dogs, and, yes, DJs. Check out the clip below.

The video was assembled and edited to make a concert film called Live in Praha, and then Radiohead themselves gave the Czech fans behind the concert film their own audio masters from the show, according to the Live in Praha site and confirmed by a representative from the band. (Via The Guardian.) It sounds amazing. Download or stream the entire 25-track set, in formats ranging from DVD quality on down, for free here (the site seems to be overwhelmed with traffic, but you can also watch on YouTube) and check the trailer for the film below:
Publ.Date : Thu, 02 Sep 2010 11:00:00 -0500 Sub Pop Signs Shabazz Palaces Seattle avant-rap project Shabazz Palaces is the newest act on the Sub Pop Records roster. The mysterious crew is led by Palaceer Lazaro aka Ishmael "Butterfly" Butler, formerly of 1990s boho-hop group Digable Planets and Cherrywine-- read our Rising interview with him here, and check out our review of the crew's 2009 self-released EPs, Of Light and Shabazz Palaces, here. Shabazz Palaces' full-length debut is due next year. Check out Playlisted track "32 leaves dipped in blackness making clouds forming altered carbon" and a short film featuring several Shabazz Palaces songs, "Belhaven Meridian", below.
Publ.Date : Thu, 02 Sep 2010 10:10:00 -0500 Video: Zola Jesus: "Sea Talk" Homepage photo by Indra Dunis Rising goth-pop siren Zola Jesus has a new EP, Valusia, out October 12 via Sacred Bones. The EP features the recently Playlisted cut "Sea Talk", and NME has the video for the tune. Directed by Jacqueline Castel (who also helmed Zola's last vid, for Stridulum EP cut "Night"), the clip features Zola's Nika Rosa Danilova as she walks through a house with flowing curtains, eventually settling down to make a (literally) hair-raising connection with her own image on a creepy TV set. Check it out here. Publ.Date : Thu, 02 Sep 2010 09:55:00 -0500 T.I. Arrested on Drug Charges Still on probation following a 10-month prison stint stemming from gun charges, T.I. was arrested along with his wife Tameka Cottle last night in L.A. after "deputies smelled a strong odor of marijuana emitting from [their] vehicle," according to a rep from the L.A. sheriff’s department. (Via The New York Times.) The pair were accused of possession of a controlled substance, jailed, and released at 4 a.m. this morning on $10,000 bail each. Tough news, especially when coupled with this photo of Tip and Pharrell looking fresh while working in the studio just hours before the arrest. Publ.Date : Thu, 02 Sep 2010 09:35:00 -0500 Paste Magazine Suspends Print Publication According to a statement on their website, Paste magazine has suspended its print edition after eight years of publication. Its online edition will continue. The award-winning monthly was best known for its music coverage of Americana and indie rock, but also featured writing on film, TV, books, and videogames. (Full disclosure: Paste has featured work from many Pitchfork contributors over the years.) The announcement follows in a sad trend of music magazine closings that includes Blender and Vibe (though the latter has since been revived). Last year, Paste asked for fan donations to help it through financial troubles, but "mounting debt" has "forced a hiatus," according to the official message. Publ.Date : Wed, 01 Sep 2010 16:55:00 -0500 Hear T.I.'s Eight-Minute Rick Ross Collab T.I. recently gave a scene-stealing guest verse to fellow Southern rap monarch Rick Ross' big-money posse cut "Maybach Music III", and now Ross has returned the favor. The new T.I./Ross collab, possibly intended for T.I.'s forthcoming King Uncaged, is nearly eight minutes of brutally regal tough talk, and it bears the unfortunate title "Pledge Allegiance to the Swag". The gigantic-sounding beat comes courtesy of J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League. Download the track over at Nah Right. Publ.Date : Wed, 01 Sep 2010 16:20:00 -0500 News in Brief: Fever Ray, Goldfrapp, Cascine, ATP New York -- Gaze in abject horror on the photo above: Fever Ray's beyond-freaky new touring costumes. They head out on a quick European tour this Sunday. Go. Give yourself nightmares. Publ.Date : Wed, 01 Sep 2010 12:00:00 -0500 Flaming Lips to Play Soft Bulletin Gig The Flaming Lips' 1999 opus The Soft Bulletin-- aka our number three album of the 1990s-- will be played in full at London's Alexandra Palace on July 1, 2011, as part of ATP's Don't Look Back series. The show will also feature Dinosaur Jr. doing their 1988 LP Bug and Deerhoof going through 2004's Milk Man. Check here for more info on the show. Publ.Date : Wed, 01 Sep 2010 11:20:00 -0500 Video: The Morning Benders: "All Day Day Light" The chorus from the Morning Benders' jittery rave-up "All Day Day Light" sounds a lot bigger when you flash the words onscreen in a gigantic font. Director Jack Ferry gives the track, from the Morning Benders' BNM'ed Big Echo album, a relatively restrained treatment, as the band plays in a single room through changing seasons and those words take up some serious screen real estate. But the visuals are crisp, and we get a fake-snow fight at the end. Watch the video below, via Stereogum.
Publ.Date : Wed, 01 Sep 2010 11:10:00 -0500 Black Mountain Bring "Old Fangs" to "Fallon" Last night, Vancouver fuzz-rockers Black Mountain rolled through "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon", bringing their bleary stoner jam "Old Fangs" with them. Even when they're on TV, these guys don't brush the hair from their eyes. They could play on "Oprah", and it would still feel like a room with throw rugs and lava lamps everywhere. Bonus: We get to see Fallon hold up that sharktastic album cover. Watch the performance below, via the Audio Perv.
Publ.Date : Wed, 01 Sep 2010 10:35:00 -0500 Video: Built to Spill: "Hindsight" Here's a bit of futuristic nostalgia courtesy of venerable guitar slingers Built to Spill. The video is for their song "Hindsight" from last year's There Is No Enemy LP and it finds the band playing a party for old people-- but there's a twist. Bob Odenkirk of "Mr. Show" and "Breaking Bad" directed the clip, which you can watch at Pitchfork.tv or below.
Publ.Date : Wed, 01 Sep 2010 10:15:00 -0500 Video: Cee-Lo Green: "Fuck You" The official, "Happy Days"-style video for Cee-Lo Green's Playlisted curse-a-thon "Fuck You" can be viewed on the man's Facebook page (you have to "Like" it to watch).
