Grizzly Bear and Lil Wayne Join Forces on The Soundmen's Veckaflyest EP
If Lil Wayne is the hip-hop artist of the moment, Grizzly Bear is undoubtedly his indie-rock counterpart. Both rose to stardom thanks to glowing word-of-mouth publicity via the Internet, and you're likely to find Tha Carter III and Veckatimest on the playlists of those who style themselves as having eclectic tastes. They're also arguably the last two artists you'd expect to hear together in a mash-up track. So doubt not the powers of the internet, dear reader, because just such a mash-up have you received.... read more

If you thought that custom edition Vans were strictly the purview of pop-punk bands, think twice. Think three times if you need to. An ad from this month's issue of Decibel (pictured above) shows a pair of Vans emblazoned with the man-deer-demon from the cover of Mastodon's 2006 tour-de-rock, Blood Mountain. Now you'll have some very metal footwear for your own epic quest to find the Crystal Skull. No word yet on whether the deer skull will be included or if it's one of those pre-order promo dealies.... read more

Found in: Concerts, NewsPaste's Tax Refund Playlist: Cash Money Mix
The best thing about giving your money away is getting a bit of it back. Some people say that money can't buy happiness, but we respectfully disagree with this opinion; it definitely makes us feel warm, fuzzy and well-fed. If you aren't smiling when you get your tax-refund check in the mail, you might be a robot. In fact, you're most likely incapable of feeling emotion and Blade Runner's Rick Deckard is closing in on your mailbox as you read this. As you patiently wait for that refund check to arrive, whether you're making a wish list of goodies for... read more
Found in: Blogs, PlaylistKanye West and Spike Jonze reuniting for short film
Last week’s new (well, kind of new) music video for UNKLE’s song “Heaven” was the second one Spike Jonze has directed in the past four years. Apparently, some little thing called Where the Wild Things Are has been keeping him busy, but that all sounds like a load of excuses to us. And while word was that his first real return to the medium would be on Weezer’s “The Greatest Man That Ever Lived,” it looks like he’s got some other plans first.... read more
Found in: Movies, NewsPaste's Playlist in Honor of New NBC Series Kings
The recent premiere of NBC's new drama Kings (Sundays, 8 p.m. Eastern) has quite a few staffers hot for high drama. Following up on Paste managing editor Nick Marino's latest list, Seven Reasons to Start Watching Kings Immediately, we're providing a royal playlist to complement the modern-day monarchy that we'll undoubtedly grow to love, hate, envy, cheer and most likely, gamble on.

If we ruled the world, these are the songs... read more

Found in: Movies, NewsThe Ten Cutest Babies On Album Covers Ever
Weird smells, non-verbal communication and other peoples' feces kind of freak me out, so I'm not the biggest fan of babies. Babies' one redeeming quality, so far as I can see, is their collective capacity for unbridled cuteness. If I don't have to hold them while such cuteness is happening, all the better! This makes album covers featuring babies especially ideal: You get the best part of the babies without actually having to be in the same room as them! And you get music! Bonus. There are a whole lot of album covers featuring babies (here is an incredibly comprehensive... read more

This Soulja Boy song is very popular right now. It's a horrible song, almost horrible enough to make you think that rap songs about telecommunications are, across the board, a bad idea. Not true!
