[Watch] Tame Impala Covers Outkast's "Prototype" for Triple J

If you had to guess one of Tame Impala's "favorite songs ever" what would it be? I bet you wouldn't have guessed that it's Outkast's Speakerboxxx/The Love Below cut "Prototype." Visiting Triple J studios, the Australian outfit chose to cover that song for the radio station's ongoing "Like A Version" segment. The band turns the mellow funk-laden jam into a reverbed psychedelic number, and it's actually really good. Check it out below.

[Watch] Nicolas Jaar Live at the Boiler Room in NYC

Nicolas Jaar's label Clown + Sunset teamed up with Red Bull Music Academy to throw a party at the Boiler Room in New York.

If you've got the craving for that kind of thing (I know I do), then hit play and get lost in the music.

[Watch] Vampire Weekend Debut "Obvious Bicycle" and "Everlasting Arms" Live

[Watch] RZA Joins James Blake On Stage at Coachella

While weekend two of Coachella winded down without much noise, there was one moment that stood out. During his performance last night James Blake was joined by RZA, where the two performed their collaborative cut from Overgrown. While RZA hadn't fully memorized the lyrics to "Take a Fall for Me" (and really, can we fault him for that?), it was still fantastic to see the two on stage together. Check out the performance below.
