"I Love It" featuring Sia

Hilltop Hoods -“I Love It” (feat. Sia)

For all the Hip Hop fans, we've got a new act and album to keep an eye on. Hilltop Hoods released the first single "I Love It (ft. Sia)" from their upcoming album Drinking from The Sun, and this track is dope! Featuring Australian vocalist Sia Furler, this single consumes you even on first listen. The album is set for release February 2012, so you’ll most definitely hear "I Love It" somewhere between now and then, but why torture yourself with anticipation? Give it a listen here.

Listening to Clap Your Hands at Soho House (Review by ZSE)

Last Monday, I witnessed lead singer of Clap Your Hands Say Yeah perform an intimate acoustic session at what was originally slated as a listening session for the band's upcoming album, Hysterical. Instead I heard about 15-20 minutes of an acoustic session with the lead singer playing mostly songs from before the band got together. Unfortunately some travel complications prevented the majority of the Clap Your Hands crew from making it.

On a positive note, the listening session was staged at the Soho House in Hollywood - which provided an ideal and intimate event setting with a great view from the Hollywood hills. Although I did not get a true sense for how the band actually might perform live due to their travel complications - I nonetheless enjoyed the hang with industry peeps and the impromptu solo set.

If the whole band showed up, I'm sure I would be much more excited (and have a lot more fodder for) writing this review and be able to give you a more honest and accurate opinion of their latest album, Hysterical, which is out now on iTunes. I wish I could have seen the whole band and will keep my eyes peeled for their next LA gig. However, despite failing at that, I can confidently say that if you are a fan of upbeat indie rock then there's a good chance you will enjoy Clap Your Hands Say Yeah.

Here's two free songs off the band's latest album, Hysterical.

SWEDISH HOUSE MAFIA DOCUMENTARY PREMIER!!!

DJ collective and dance chart toppers, Swedish House Mafia, stop in LA today (actually within the hour) to screen their documentary Take One. The premier comes amidst a very exciting week for the superstar DJ collective, who also released their album, Until One, which serves as a soundtrack to the film, just yesterday.

I'm anxious to see the film that MTV calls “one of the most ambitious documentary film undertakings with a dance music focus," and the times calls "Spinal Tap for the Acid House generation." With great buzz surrounding the film and release, I can only hope the premier it as epic as their dance tracks.
