Listen to a New Track from CSS

It’s been a few years since we’ve heard from CSS, a group whose fast paced electro-rock is often irresistible—especially on the dance floor. But the Brazilian outfit has recently broken their silence by releasing a new single, “Hits Me Like a Rock,” off their upcoming album La Liberación, which is scheduled to hit shelves Aug. 29. The track features guest vocals from Primal Scream’s Bobby Gillespie and doesn’t skimp on the energy....  read more

Fourteen Catchiest Apple Ads (Plus, Who's That Singing In The New Nano Commercial?)

With their clean lines, bright hues, tech-forward features and cultural cache, it often seems like Apple products simply sell themselves. But what, then, of the hundreds of equally stylish—and so often mesmerizing—television ads the company's shelled out for over the years? Are they just for our amusement?

Austin City Limits 2008, Day 2: Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings, CSS, Man Man

Let me add this to Kate’s Fleet Foxes write-up: Though they seemed more than a little overwhelmed by the immensity of the AMD stage (“We’re not used to communicating on this scale,” lead singer Robin Pecknold apologized) when the awkward banter finally dissolved into music, it was fantastic. “Ragged Wood” always gives me goosebumps—and even today, in the heat of the day, they rolled right up my sweaty legs. ...  read more

The Reign of the Profane

Though CSS has shed the overt pop of its 2006 debut (which spawned the highest ever Billboard charting single for a Brazilian artist, “Music Is My Hot, Hot Sex”), the true nation of origin for the electro-punks’ Sub Pop follow-up, Donkey, is still the dancefloor...  read more

Lollapalooza 2008 round-up

Above: Bang CamaroAnother Lollapalooza weekend has come and gone and music fans of all stripes left happy (unless, of course, they were fans of the Weakerthans, who had to cancel as a result of travel problems). Despite a record attendance of 225,000 fans, festivities and rock went on seamlessy under sun-filled skies each day. The festival's organizers outdid themselves this year with opening acts, starting the weekend out with a bang. Bang Camaro, that is. Other rising stars followed suit on days two and three with the Ting Tings belting out their infectious pop tunes (we overheard Love and Rockets'...  read more
