New MGMT - Kids (Soulwax Nite Remix)

I dropped this one a few days ago, but the quality was just horrendous — thankfully, the ever amazing, Trashbags Kids provided the blogosphere with a better cut. This should keep us entertained until the proper CDQ mp3 drops.

PMA’s 2045th Post… or something

INTERESTING READS:
Idolator’s resident Hot 100 chart guru Chris Molanphy goes into incredible detail of why he suspects today’s major record labels are trying to bury the digital single. I love his weekly 100 and Single column on Idolator; his insight into the business is just captivating. Maybe I’m just a chart nerd. [100 and Single [...]

New Kooks - Kids (MGMT cover) / Friday Covers

I’m really starting to dig Australian radio! First, Triple J gives us Vampire Weekend doing Fleetwood Mac’s “Everywhere,” and now the Kooks were just in the studio and covered MGMT’s “Kids.” Thanks to PMA reader John Beohm for the tip! Download the cover below along with some other great covers:

New Kaiser Chiefs - Never Miss a Beat

The Kaiser Chiefs premiered “Never Miss a Beat” — off their new Off With Their Heads – on BBC’s Radio 1 and I’ve got the radio rip for you. For a year now, the Kaiser Chiefs have been playing “Never Miss a Beat” live, establishing it as a crowd favorite. With this first single, the [...]

New Of Montreal - Nonpareil of Favor

Of Montreal’s new album, Skeletal Lamping, is out October 27th, later out this year. Pitchfork (via WAWSTSF) have another free download from Lamping. This new song is called “Nonpareil of Favor,” and it has to be one of the oddest of Montreal tracks I have ever listened to. I can’t say I’m a huge fan [...]

New Radiohead - Tell Me Why (Neil Young cover)

There was lots of drama surrounding the Radiohead concert at the Hollywood Bowl, the kind of drama that makes me never want to go there. But Gorilla vs Bear has given us a couple of reasons why the concert was worth getting your ass kicked for.

New Keane - Better Than This

In less than a couple of weeks, the internet has unearthed three new Keane tracks. This last one to leak, “Better Than This,” continues to channel Brandon Flowers’ more annoying serenades on Hot Fuss. There are two sides of Hot Fuss, the half that is extraordinary and mind-blowing, and the half that is bitterly underwhelming. [...]

New TV On The Radio - Dancing Choose

I abso-fucking-lutely loved the first sweet taste of TV ON The Radio’s next brilliant opus Dear Science, –the title itself alludes to a punny album, no?– wel, Dear Science taste number two isn’t as sweet as “Golden Age,” but is far from bitter. Very far.
“Dancing Choose” is a hectic, urgent mess of greatness. I have [...]

New Fall Out Boy - Welcome To The New Administration

When some anonymous tipster emailed the .zip file for Fall Out Boy’s new mixtape, Welcome To The New Administration, I almost didn’t want to open it. No, I’m lying I opened it in a second. This new mixtape acts as a progenitor to Fall Out Boy’s fourth album Folie A Deux (another 2008 release I’m [...]

New Jay-Z - Jockin’ Jay-Z (Teen Wolf Remix)

Here’s another ‘Jockin’ Jay-Z’ remix. This Teen Wolf remix inspires a bit of hard hipster dancing, quite a change from the old school homage we received with Rob Low’s remix. Frankly, this isn’t as good and the beat sounds do get annoying and you get this odd relief after the four minutes are up.
Second and [...]
