• James Blake Shares Remix of Gorillaz 'Feel Good Inc.' Under Name 'Harmonimix' [LISTEN]

    On a recent Fabriclive mix posted to SoundCloud, British DJ Rich Reason included a newly unearthed James Blake remix of the Gorillaz classic "Feel Good Inc.," released under the name "Harmonimix." Though the remix is just now seeing the light of day, "Fact" reports that the track is "from back in the day," at least according to Reason.Though the original "Feel Good Inc." definitely has a danceable party vibe to it — as dark and weird as it may be — Blake's remix is much more abstract and harder to dance to, and even strips the song of its signature bass line, which may lead some to ask to the question, "Then why the hell should I even bother listening to this?"You can check out James Blake's Harmonimix remix of Gorillaz's "Feel Good Inc." here:

  • Wu-Tang Clan Perform 'Ruckus in B Minor' from 'A Better Tomorrow' on 'David Letterman' [WATCH]

    The stars were out on late night last night. Lorde made her second appearance on "The Tonight Show," this time to support the "Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1," and just a click away on CBS, Wu-Tang Clan were gearing up for the release of their new album "A Better Tomorrow" by performing "Ruckus in B Minor" on "The Late Show with David Letterman." Two-thirds of the legendary rap group stormed the late-night show with RZA, Masta Killa, Inspectah Deck, U-God, Method Man and Cappadonna all live, while GZA, Raekwon and Ghostface Killa were unable to make it, via "David Letterman."The New York City collective showed that they still have it after more then 20 years of being together on and off. Each member takes turns delivering his verse, while Method Man anchors the tune with his gravely voice on the bridge: I can see your drawers, pull your pants up / Can't even call yourself a man until you man up / And if you call yourself a fan you need to stand up / This ain't a party, it's a jux, keep your hands up.He leads the all-inclusive hook Wu forever, and we're still number one, still number one, still number one!" that turns into chanting from each of the members.

  • 'MTV Unplugged's Best Performances: The Obvious (Nirvana, Eric Clapton) and Less Obvious as Well

    November 26, 1989 marked the first airing of MTV's Unplugged series, a showcase that took some of the best bands across many generations and gave viewers a new look.

The book will also include portraits of Björk by Nan Goldin, Juergen Teller, Arakia and Inez & Vinoodh and will feature photos from some of the singer's famous costumes, designed by Alexander McQueen, Hussein Chalayan and Sophia Kokosalaki. Four booklets will be released with the book as well as a poster featuring the artwork of all seven albums being covered.

  • Taylor Swift and "Blank Space" Hold Off Hozier on Digital Downloads Charts; Still No "Do They Know It's Christmas?" to Be Seen

    For some reason we had the misguided impression that the new "Do They Know It's Christmas?," celebrating the 30th anniversary of the original Band Aid single with contributions from One Direction and Chris Martin (for charity), would easily take the top spot on this week's Digital Downloads chart. We were wrong. Taylor Swift's single "Blank Space," which is most certainly not for charity, took the no. 1 position again, moving 302,000 copies.

  • Megadeth's Drummer and Guitarist Quit at the Same Time

    Since its inception back in 1983, Megadeth has had 19 musicians run through its line-up, with the only constant member being guitarist and lead vocalist Dave Mustaine. But it looks like Mustaine will have to start looking for two more musicians, as both guitarist Chris Broderick and drummer Shawn Drover have separately announced their departures from the legendary thrash metal band."After 10 years, I have decided to quit Megadeth to pursue my own musical interests," Drover wrote in a statement, via "Brave Words." "I want to thank Dave Mustaine and the entire Megadeth family, as well as thanking all the amazing Megadeth fans around the world!!! I truly appreciate all of you. Stay tuned for info on my next musical journey."Just hours after Drover announced his departure, Broderick announced his own departure from Megadeth through a separate statement posted to his website."Due to artistic and musical differences, it is with great reluctance that I announce my departure fro Megadeth to pursue my own musical direction," Broderick wrote. "I want all of you to know how much I appreciate the amount that you the fans have accepted and respected me as a member of Megadeth for the last seven years, but it is time for me to move on. I wish Dave and everyone in Megadeth all the best."Just like Drover had done, Broderick also promises new music in the near future.
