So here we go with the first of a new weekly feature set to run every Friday (Until I forget/ can't be bothered). Hopefully the list below contains something you like, something you hate and something you're not quite sure about yet. To me, it's just the best and most interesting things I've seen online in the past seven days.

  • Friendly Fires and Azari III teamed up to record some music, are giving away 'Stay Here' for free.


  • John Legend and The Roots did a cover of Arcade Fire's 'Wake Up'
  • Jamie xx revealed his first solo single, Far Nearer
  • In the world of remixes, Four Tet reworked The xx whilst Diplo got his hands on Deerhunter's 'Helicopter'

  • Justin Timberlake showed his rap chops with this run down of Hip-Hop history with US chat show host Jimmy Fallon.

  • Yuck debuted their epic new single 'Rubber'. Stream it below:
  • New York's finest lined up to cameo in the new Duck Sauce video for irritating/ catchy/ dumb Barbra Streisand.

For The Record: August

Wow, what a month. Starting with a sweat-inducing Best Coast gig and ending with an even hotter Libertines reunion August has been one of the biggest of the year to date with brilliant albums released every single week. Far ahead from the crowd for me though is 'Treats' by Sleigh Bells. Aggressive, bold, anarachic and ultimately a whole load of fun Treats is an instant classic and one to add to Fever To Tell in the pile marked 'Party Starters'.

August's best albums:

Sleigh Bells - Treats (Album of the Month)
Arcade Fire - The Suburbs
Klaxons - Surfing The Void
Skream - Outside The Box
Zola Jesus - Stridulum II
Best Coast - Crazy For You
Everything Everything - Man Alive
Count and Sinden - Mega Mega Mega
Wavves - King Of The Beach
Yu(c)k - Weakend (EP)
Los Campesinos - All's Well That Ends (EP)
Sky Larkin - Kaleide

Also reccomended: Maximum Balloon, Magic Kids, Rose-Ellinor Dougall, !!!, Midnight Juggernaughts, Tame Impala.

I won't be posting anything much til' Monday as I'm going to a gig and *hopefully* doing an interview. To bide you over let me introduce you to my favourite blog on the internet. Andersen Ben-Hillier has been around a while but has recently started gaining some notoriety with a mention in The Guardian the other day.

Andersen is a Danish paprazzo who takes photo's of the best bands in the world. His work is outstanding and I have no reason to doubt his credibility. Just look at his work in action below or check his full portfolio here-

The Kills-

Young Knives
Arcade Fire
Kate Nash

The White Stripes
Henry Rollins
White Lies
These New Puritans
Queens Of Noize
