Mutemath on 'Jimmy Kimmel"

Last night's musical guest spot for 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' was filled by alternative rock group Mutemath. Performing a rendition of their single Blood Pressure, I must say that I loved this. Mutemath has been extolled for their live performances in the past; not only for sounding identical to their recorded counterpart, but also for bringing a certain energy and excitement to the stage. In this particular performance, the band gets a bit innovative with the recording angles. Watch the clip above partially through a drummer cam and what looks like a beach ball cam. 

Stream: Bjork First Listen

Bjork's seventh full-length album is streaming through NPR's first listen. Biophilia's official release date is set for October 10th. Be sure to purchase when it drops, but you can stream it here for now. 

Jeff Mangum At 'Occupy Wall Street'

Watch live streaming video from globalrevolution at livestream.com

Frontman from the iconic outfit Neutral Milk Hotel (Jeff Mangum) played a surprise set for the crowd gathered at the Occupy Wall Street protest. Songs from the set include "Holland, 1945", "Ghost", "Song Against Sex", "Two-Headed Boy Part 2", "In The Aeroplane Over The Sea", and "Oh Comely". This performance footage is really a treat; not only does Jeff sound great, but the crowd singing along gives an added effect. Jeff had this to say after the performance, "You guys have done a beautiful fucking thing."

New Common Track

Long-time MC Common is displaying the second single off his upcoming album through Facebook. You can listen to it here. Loving these new songs, although this delight could just be the product of the sour taste left in my mouth after Universal Mind Control. Nevertheless, this track is definitely worth a listen. 

Hear his first single, 'Ghetto Dreams' featuring Nas:

OFWGKTA Make 12 Tracks Available

Tyler, The Creator recently made twelve old OF tracks available via iTunes, spreading the news through his twitter. Tyler tweeted this about the release of the twelve tracks:

"Old OF Shit On Itunes For You New Niggas. Digital Only, No Other Promotion, OG OF Fans Got This Shit Already. Odd Future On Itunes. Fuck You"

If you don't fall under the category of 'OG OF Fans', these tracks are definitely worth checking out. They are great entry points to the Odd Future bonanza.

Digg Of The Week

Yuck - Yuck

The newest band to be tagged with the "90's revivalist" label, Yuck's self-titled debut is a triumph. The sound found here has a certain edge to it, the "fuzz" that is present throughout the album lends even more to the 90's nostalgic feel. The rough, yet clean sound that makes Yuck is heavily influenced by that of Sonic Youth and Smashing Pumpkins, yet this album is a unique foray into the revivalist category. This band could follow in the path of similar revivalist act The Strokes, so make sure to keep an eye out.

Standouts

Get Away by Yuck

Georgia by Yuck

Stream: Future Islands

On The Water is streaming in it's entirety via NPR. This is the synth pop outfit's third full-length album, which is scheduled for release October 11th. Although I've never head any of their previous material (save for a few songs here and there), I can already sense a Wild Beasts type relationship. Mostly because Samuel Herring's vocal style is unique and slightly strange, just like that of Wild Beasts' Hayden Thorp. It might take a little getting used to on my part, but the music is already enjoyable vocals withstanding. Check it out.

City and Colour Music Video

Dallas Green, former member of the post-hardcore band Alexisonfire, released a video under his solo project City and Colour. 'Weightless' is the second single off the album Little Hell, which was released back in August of this year. Great release. Check out the music video here via Rollingstone.
