Seriously, Internet? Every time I think I have the extent of the web's collective ignorance nailed down, people up and pull something like this. In spite of the fact that Random Access Memories broke records and "Get Lucky" was a legitimate contender for Song Of The Summer 2013, there are folks out there using their Twitter accounts like Google search bars that only deal in profanity and typos.

Hey, sadbro. Are you about to hit the clubs hard but don't want to stop listening to Either/Or? You're in luck. Check out these previously unreleased dance tracks recorded by Elliott Smith as part of Mike Doughty's UUL project. Read More »
Zoe Kravitz is looking to move into Donald Glover territory. The actress, model and singer is positioning herself as a bonafide triple-threat with her latest project, Lolawolf. Kravitz teamed up with two of the members of Reputante (James Levy and Jimmy Giannopoulos) for a self-titled EP full of slinky, spacey alt-R&B. Read More »
Things haven't been going so great for T.I. lately. There's a rumor floating around that the King Of The South has a divorce scandal on his hands after his wife Tiny found out about some women on the side. However, it seems like T.I. and T.I.P. will attempt to bounce back from that with a new, Pharrell-produced album. Read More »
It was the moment from the Grammys that everyone was talking about. "What exactly was that song in the one Sonos commercial that the guy switched to after he decided he was done with westerns?" we collectively wondered aloud. Read More »
Life Pro Tip: If you want your album to hit shelves on time, don't have any reference to azaleas in your nom du rap (or don't be a female MC not named "Nicki Minaj", but that's the subject of a Jezebel article for another day). All this is to say that Iggy Azalea's long-awaited debut album finally has a release date. Read More »
A.J. McLean is a member of the Backstreet Boys. Which means he came up through the pop music machine, probably did a lot of drugs and came out the other side with a life that is noticeably not destroyed and a star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame. Read More »
In case you were wondering what Les Miserables "The Confrontation" would have looked like had it come out during the 5 seconds when crunkcore was a thing (or if the plot of a musical where everyone literally sings every single motivation and thought crossing through their heads is too complicated), you should check out the Funny Or Die trash-pop remake of Valjean and Javert's showdown.

I'm going to put forth an opinion that will be unpopular among two groups of people: this cover of Bauhaus' "Bela Lugosi's Dead" is the absolute greatest thing that CHVRCHES has ever done. Read More »
Not surprisingly, Angel Haze's debut album flopped after being banished to one of the slowest sales days of the year. However, the spitfire rapper doesn't appear to be too bummed about it. She killed yet another cover on BBC Radio One, this time taking on Beyonce's Grammy showstopper "Drunk In Love." Read More »
It's been a good year for Sade. Rich Homie Quan shouted her out in his hit song "Type Of Way", Rockers are shouting her out as indie bands find their R&B side and now she's been sampled by Big Boi. Read More »
In case you are upset over Led Zeppelin winning a Best Rock Album in 2014 (or Macklemore beating out Kendrick Lamar, or Imagine Dragons winning a Grammy, period), dig in to this slice of awesome, upbeat rawk from Cloud Nothings and remember that the Grammys don't know nothing about no nothing noways Read More »
The Pixies have been remarkably busy as of late. On top of turning their bassist position into something on par with Spinal Tap's drummers, the influential indie rock group have released a surprise EP and dropped several music videos. Their latest is "Magdelena", a track that throws a dash of post-punk guitar angularity over a growling, Queens of the Stone Age riff for a cut that is 100% Pixies. Read More »
