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.

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.

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
11/29: Los Angeles, CA @ The Echo
12/19: Brooklyn, NY @ Glasslands
1/4: Brooklyn, NY @ Cameo Gallery

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.
