Posting things that every single other blog in the Blogosphere is currently writing about is something I try to avoid. But, goddammit, it's Radiohead! In case you're under a massive rock, Radiohead unexpectantly released their album, The King of Limbs, today instead of tomorrow. The Greatest Band in the World also released this video of Thom Yorke gettin' down and dirty for the song "Lotus Flower". It's haunting, beautiful, and full of all the emotion we've come to expect from these masters of their craft. What a great Friday.

An up-and-coming kid who's definitely on our radar is Hoodie Allen. He's young, fun, and works his ass off, so what's not to respect? He's also a favorite of our blog brethren over at Sunset in the Rearview, and Lydia never steers us wrong. Hoodie's just released a video for his jam "You Are Not A Robot".

Our buddy Smansmith over at Slowcoustic premiered this video today for the hauntingly beautiful Hezekiah Jones track "Lift the Shadow From This Heart". Let's let the man himself explain it: "The video is a great slowed down black and white clip with the song almost floating above the visuals. Not that the visuals necessarily have anything to do with the song per se, but they are just a great background to the song."

Remember to pick up Have You Seen Our New Fort? when it drops (on vinyl too!) March 29.

XV is rapidly becoming one of my favorite MCs. The man makes great jams, plays video games, likes Michel Gondry, reads comics, and (apparently) is into soccer. He's me but, ya know, cooler and more talented.

Here's a new song and video apparently not from his (hopefully) soon to be released album, The Kid With The Green Backpack. I couldn't physically be more amped for this to drop. "F.I.F.A." has Vizzy's clever wordplay and pop culture references – as always. The beat is smooth and bassy, with a great, ghostly subtle piano sample in the background. The video is down-to-earth and creative. It's simply side-to-side shots of the same scene played out differently, but it's entertaining and different.
