Thu Feb 9 2012 by Robbie Daw
Just when it was looking like we'd maybe heard the last of Gorillaz for the time being, now that Damon Albarn is back in action with his old Blur bandmates, along comes news of "DoYaThing", a new track from the virtual act that Converse is offering up via it's Three Artists, One Song series. The other artists involved: Andre 3000 and James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem.

Antoine Dodson Performs (In A Wig), Justin Bieber Wins At The Webby Awards
Tue Jun 14 2011 by Robbie Daw
"Bed Intruder Song" crooner Antoine Dodson more than earned his extended 16th minute of fame by performing in New York's Hammerstein Ballroom last night at the Webby Awards in a flowing strawberry-blonde wig. Joining the half-in-drag songbird on stage were the Gregory Brothers, who shifted gears and offered up a surprisingly soulful arrangement of the 2010 viral smash. Watch the magic unfold below!

2010’s Best Music: MySpace Music Picks The Top 50 Albums
Fri Dec 3 2010 by Idolator Staff
What do Kanye West and Nicki Minaj have in common with a bunch of great bands most people have never heard of? They’re all included amongst MySpace Music’s Top 50 Albums of 2010! The Grammys this ain’t, which is why you won’t find the likes of Katy Perry, Eminem, or Taylor Swift anywhere amidst MySpace’s annual accolades. (Xtina’s Bionic didn’t make the cut, either. Shocking!) A few familiar faces did muscle their way in with the more obscure critical darlings, however. Click here to check out the list.

LCD Soundsystem Get Attacked By Crazy Pandas In The “Drunk Girls” Video
Mon Apr 19 2010 by Robbie Daw
With a song title like "Drunk Girls," you'd think maybe Ke$ha would swing by the set the music video to make a puking-in-the-closet cameo. Instead, the clip for LCD Soundsystem's first single from third album This Is Happening features frontman James Murphy and the rest of the band being assaulted by a creepy gang of folks dressed up like pandas. There's confetti. There's violence. There's drag. And there are clothes being ripped off. It's all after the jump!

New LCD Soundsystem Video Looks Slightly Familiar
Wed Mar 19 2008 by Michaelangelo Matos
One of the great things about LCD Soundsystem is the hay they make with stuff we already know, or think we do. So it stands to reason that “Big Ideas,” LCD’s new single from the soundtrack of the Vegas movie 21, is something of an homage to a well-known dance classic by a group LCD can’t seem to stop making reference to. Still, we couldn’t help thinking the video’s set reminded us of a different, yet equally classic, dance-music video, as you can see below.
Would Rock Bands Be Better If They Had Their Own “Crank That”s?
Mon Feb 11 2008 by Jess Harvell
Soulja Boy! He’s popular. Well, he sells singles. Not so much albums. But a lot of singles! So many singles. And YouTube hits. He attracts the YouTube hits. All related to a dance. A dance you may have heard, seen, or tried to do yourself! You’d think at this point there’s not a single thing left to be said about Soulja Boy and the mini-trend of choreographed toe-tapping that he’s sparked among aspiring popular musicians, one that’s profitable for labels for the moment but not a particularly safe long term bet for reversing dipping sales. And you’d be right! Yet that fact has not stopped the Wall Street Journal from devoting many hundreds of words to recapping the tale of Soulja Boy. He’s divisive! He’s reopened the generation gap! He’s given MC Hammer a reason to go on! And yet despite its rehashery, the WSJ’s story does raise one important, semi-new, mostly implied question: Would rock bands be improved by their own dance routines? Is there room in indie for cranking that James Murphy?
The “Village Voice” Remembers Amy Winehouse Put Out A Record In The Last 24 Months
Wed Jan 23 2008 by Jess Harvell
Well, that’s it. Tag it and bag it. Unless I happen to notice a late-breaking entry from the Burlington Community Times tomorrow while getting my coffee, the publication of the Village Voice’s Pazz And Jop poll marks the last of 2007’s year-end lists, headed up by LCD Soundsystem (album) and Amy Winehouse (singles). Now let us never speak of either again.
THE GOOD: 2007 is over! Also Feist and Wilco were both kept out of the albums Top 10, plus an honestly surprising, kinda heartening Winehouse-over-Rihanna singles upset, if only by 4 mentions. (And even if No. 2 Rihanna spanked No. 3 “All My Friends” by a whopping 32 mentions.)
THE BAD: As with the Idolator Pop Critics Poll, Peter Bjorn and John earn a Top 10 placing on the singles list despite the evil “Young Folks” first whistling its way into our lives in 2006. Damned twee Swedes.
THE WHAAAA? Radiohead beats M.I.A. to the No. 2 albums spot despite an equal number of points, thanks to four more ballot mentions that break the tie. Not quite fraud at the polls, but clearly the electoral college is not the only voting system that needs reforming.
