 Is anyone else excited about Django Unchained? I feel like we all should be. When the actors wonder aloud if "maybe we have gone too far" it sounds like a must-see. You can hear before you see too. The track 100 Black Coffins by Rick Ross is below.

 Helado Negro is set to release a third record, Invisible Life (March 5, 2013). This record is the first in both English and Spanish. Check out the track Dance Ghost below via Soundcloud. What to say about Helado Negro? Roberto Lange—the man behind the music—has wored with members of Bear In Heaven, Mouse on Mars and more. This is music of ideas. Ideas that go beyond note and tone. Have a listen.  Flume, a 21-year old Aussie, topped the Australian charts with his eponymous debut LP. He was recently bumped to #2 by Taylor Swift. I would like to apologize to all Australians for this particular American export. Totally worse than Budweiser. Flume has a free download of the track, Star Eyes, for fans. You can get it at his Soundcloud page.  Matt Pond is heading out on a winter tour to support The Lives Inside The Lines In Your Hand. The LP comes out in February but, as you can see below, Pond heads out on tour shortly. Tickets are on sale November 30, 2012. You can find out details HERE. You can listen to/download Love To Get Used below. This is, incidentally, Pond’s first “official” solo effort. His work is interesting, honest and always growing. Tour

They are giving a preview in the form of the song, See Me On My Way, which you (as you might imagine) can hear below.
The band is made up of NYC music scene-sters who have worked with tons of other acts including Antibalas, Iron & Wine, TV On The Radio and many more. Superhuman Happiness also teamed with Kronos Quartet and Arthur Russell to create music for the film, How To Survive A Plague. The film comes out digitally December 4, 2012 and all proceeds go to the Student Global AIDS Campaign.  Touché, Alex Lilly and Bram Inscore, focus their music on everyday things. You know! Things like obsession, lust, fate and struggling for control. Yeah, pretend those are NOT everyday things. The pop anthems they produce are both catchy and dark and widely praised in the press. We posted their last single, I’m A Man Not A Machine, last month The latest single, Wild Horses, is a cover of a Prefab Sprout song. You can check it out below. Heck, you can even download it free below. The members of this band have been on the stage with great acts, played as hired-on musicians with great acts and just generally been all over being awesome. Check out upcoming shows below (one of which is tomorrow in L.A.) Shows

Order the Betamax mixes HERE.  Big Cats! has a new video for their track, Five, which is off the latest album, For My Mother. The record was made after Big Cats! received a grant from the American Composers Forum and the McKnight Foundation to make an instrumental Hip Hop, Rhythm and Blues record in honor of his mother who passed away from cancer. Three-quarters of the proceeds go to the Minnesota Ovarian Cancer Alliance in honor of Christi Wirth-Davis. You can buy the record HERE. A worthy cause artistically and beyond that.
