Tonight

0 Comments

The group releases their song, Tonight, from their album, The Incredible Machine. Nettles:

I love the song Tonight on the record. That is definitely the power ballad of the record. That song was inspired. We wanted to write a song – do you remember the movie Say Anything? And you remember Lloyd Dobbler and he’s holding up the boombox outside of Ione Skye’s bedroom and it’s playing In Your Eyes? And we thought, we want a song that Lloyd Dobbler would play in front of her window now. What would that song be? Or if John Hughes were alive to make a movie now, what song would be on that soundtrack?

Dirt Road Anthem

0 Comments

The artist releases Dirt Road Anthem, from his album, My Kinda Party.

It’s different, no doubt. But it still talks about that same sort of rural thing as Amarillo Sky. It just does it in a different way. ( laughs). Being from Georgia, I thought I’d be pretty bad at talking fast. But apparently I’m pretty good at it.

Country Girl (Shake It For Me)

0 Comments

The artist releases his single, Country Girl (Shake It For Me), from his album, Tailgates And Tanlines. 

I am the world’s worst at going, ‘Oh my God, what are we doing? I started freaking out, because I said, ‘Come on, Dal, we can’t talk about country girls shaking their butts all over the place in Country music.’ Dallas is rooting me on, and we kept on working on it. I played it for my producer and my wife and everybody. Everybody’s saying, ‘That thing’s going to be crazy.’ It’s a fun song, and it certainly adds to the live show and get some old country girls shaking a little bit.

Rope

0 Comments

The band releases Rope, from their album, Wasting Light. Grohl:

We shot the video… in a big sound stage in Los Angeles. And we had to build this cube out of fabric and wood for the band to play within, and it’s lit from outside, and then, there’s a part in the video where it’s actually revealed that we’re inside this weird white cube. At first it just seems like we’re in this glowing white room from within, and then towards the end, the big reveal is we’re in this room, which is within a massive room.

Tu Cuerpo

0 Comments

The artist releases Tu Cuerpo, featuring Canela, from his album, Armando. Pitbull:

It’s the Cuban connection. Me and [fellow Cuban] Jencarlos Canela ran into each other in Puerto Rico, during the Billboard awards. And he was telling me he was a Miami boy, Cuban, big fan, and I said, ‘coño let’s get together.’ And a couple of months later he came, he brought over the track, and I just added the verses.

My Body

Young the Giant releases the single, My Body, from their self titled  album, Young the Giant. Cannata:

The specific day of My Body’s creation was one of those rougher days for us. We had opened sail on a relatively stale wind, and had caught on to a mellower vein of overly contemplated writing. In a bout of frustration, we just decided to try something absolutely different; something based on instinct and spontaneity rather than meditation and patience. The song started just as a quirky joke; a release of tension. The riff, melody, and lyrics formed in a matter of ten minutes. At the end of the album writing process, My Body stayed the most pure to its raw, original, form.
