D'Angelo's first sit-down interview in 12 years...Sleigh Bells "Demon" video...ACL 2012 Lineup...I wub the 90s...
Let's start this off with D'Angelo. The R&B singer, who hit it big in the 90s has been under the radar within the past few years, due to his battles with drug addiction, some unfortunate accidents, and whatnot. But, the singer has recently done an interview with GQ, his first sit-down interview in 12 years, during which he talks about his drug struggles, the difficulties with fame, and his upcoming album. You can read the article at GQ, and you can view his "Untitled" video below:
Sleigh Bells are one of those bands that has marketed themselves with a certain sound, and painfully stuck to it. There was once a part of me that became completely taken over with their vibe, as seen on such songs as "Crown on the Ground," and personal favorite, "Rill Rill." But, everything I've heard from their new album stuck to the certainty that where one sound caught ears, that same sound is sure to keep them. I would have liked to have seen some more variety from them, but hey, people have to pay bills, right? Either way, you can watch their new video for their song, "Demons" off of their latest release, Reign of Terror below:
Lastly...the 2012 ACL Line-up is here, or at least the initial lineup. From what I've seen thus far, I'd be ecstatic to see Neil Young, Iggy and the Stooges, First Aid Kit, Jack White, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Roots, Florence and the Machine, Rufus Wainwright, Crystal Castles, etc. You can view the lineup (if you already haven't) here.
I've spent the better part of my day listening to music from the 90s, since NME put out their 100 Best Songs of the 90s list today. This is definitely keeping in line with a current trend that seems to have more people sharing their 90s love with some flash-backs/shout-outs/nods...what have you. They're just all over the place lately. Aside from that, I couldn't get this little gem out of my head all weekend, after hearing it at a bar...but if you want to view the list, you can see it here. You can listen to "Got Your Money" by ODB below:
That's all. PEACE.
