[Watch] OK Go - "Back From Kathmandu” (Video)

We're used to the unusual and equally brilliant videos from OK Go, but this time the draw hasn't come from the use of dancing dogs, treadmills or even burnt toast, but from a cool gadget and a clever idea.

With the help of a hundred friends with instruments they marched the streets of LA to the tune of new  “Back From Kathmandu” off of their latest album Of the Blue Colour of the Sky, which you can pick up now. With the help of the GPS gadget, the band and the following parade of helpers spell out OK Go on the streets as seen from above. Check it out up top and see for yourself. Thanks to CoS for the heads up.

[Listen] Lil Wayne - 6′7″ Feat. Cory Gunz (prod. Bangladesh)

Mack Maine calls the newest Weezy track “A Millie on steroids”. I completely agree, although I could do with out the Cory Gunz verse. Is it sad that I think Bangladesh is a one trick pony? Anyways take a listen to the track below courtesy of 2DopeBoyz.

[Download] Mayer Hawthorne - "Christmas Time is Here" (Vince Guaraldi Trio Cover)

Christmas really has come early this year and artists are throwing out Christmas covers all over the place. Mayer Hawthorne posted up a cover of Vince Guaraldi Trio and their classic "Christmas Time Is Here". You can listen and download the track below courtesy of Mayer Hawthorne's soundcloud page and here's what he had to say about it;

"Happy Holidays everyone,  

All the best Christmas songs were written by Jews, and Chanukah songs suck. This is my favorite Christmas tune, sung over the Vince Guaraldi instrumental.   

Cheers, 
Mayer Hawthorne"

[News] Kyuss Lives! To Record New Album

You know when you get into bands when you're younger and you think it's the best thing ever, Led Zep, The Beatles all that kind of stuff, but obviously you think you'll never get the chance to see them live? Well earlier this year I was overly excited to find out that Kyuss would be touring, minus Josh Homme, which kind of sucks, under the name Kyuss Lives!

If that wasn't enough, today it's come out that the guys may even be recording a new album, in an interview with Rocksound Garcia said; "Our rehearsals are going so well that we’re thinking of doing another record...This is brand new information that has been leaked to Rock Sound first; Brant, Nick and myself have collectively agreed that once everything is done live and we’re done with our solo projects, we’re going to do another record" Exciting stuff whether it's with or without Josh this is still something a lot of people can begin to get excited about. Check out what he had to say about Josh after the jump along with the tour dates if you missed them.

Broken Social Scene On Tour in Early 2011

Despite being on tour right now, Toronto-based Broken Social Scene has just announced their tour plans for early next year. Starting on January 16th in London, Ontario, the group will be playing shows throughout North America, even at Edmonton's Freezing Man Festival. Also, there's a pretty big gap in between their New York show on January 18th and their appearance in Edmonton on January 29th, so expect more shows in between. You can check out the tour dates after the jump!
