[Watch] Poliça - "Wandering Star" (Official Video)

Poliça's Give You The Ghost has been floating around for quite some time and it's still getting heavy play on my end, how about yours? Whatever, the band have now uploaded a nice looking visual accompaniment for their great track, "Wandering Star". It's an interesting and entertaining watch. It starts of simply with an elderly woman sat in a loft before dancers appear from the walls and serenade the woman via modern dance. It's kind of odd really. Spot Lady Gaga if you can... I mean, you can't miss her on a day to day basis anyway but it's a nice non-cameo from her in the video. Dance your troubles away courtesy of Poliça above.

[Listen] Ellie Goulding x Xaphoon Jones - "High For This" (The Weeknd Cover)

Since the release of her debut album a few years back, Ellie Goulding has been just about everywhere. Toured the world and even played the Royal Wedding in the UK last summer. Not bad eh? Since then though it has been a little quiet from the Goulding camp. She's now teamed up with Chiddy Bang-producer Xaphoon Jones to cover The Weeknd. I like the sound of this already. They cover the Canadian's House of Balloons cut "High or This" and the results are a delight for the ears. Check it out below. Listen to this interesting clash of creative forces below.

[Watch] Jay-Z x Kanye West - "No Church In The Wild" Feat. Frank Ocean (Official Video)

If you were in the UK last Summer, it's hard to forget the riots that took place. Predominantly in Manchester and London but a lot of the country was affected by the actions of a minority of kids lashing out. I think that event may have played a little role in the inspiration for Jay-Z and Kanye's new visual for "No Church In The Wild". The Frank Ocean featuring Throne track was shot in Prague and can be enjoyed at the top of the page.

If for some reason you haven't picked up Ye and Jay's collaborative long player, Watch The Throne, it's out now.

[Watch] Florence & The Machine - "Spectrum" (Official Video)

Florence & The Machine return with a new visual for their single "Spectrum" which features on their latest LP, Ceremonials. Ms Welch dons a weirdly cut red mop top in the video and it also features a lot of ballet dancers. A pretty neat looking visual from David LaChapelle though. See what you make of it at the top.

Earlier in the week we heard Calvin Harris' house remix of the track too. If you missed it, go have a listen.

[Listen] Bon Iver Performing "Stacks" at Sasquatch! 2012 (Live Recording)

This past weekend, the Gorge Amphitheatre in George, Washington was swarmed by thousands upon thousands of music fans attending Sasquatch! 2012, which marked its tenth anniversary this year. One of the most sought after acts during the festival was none other than headliner Bon Iver, whose 90-minute set drew in one of the largest crowds all weekend. During the set, Justin Vernon and co. performed a fantastic yet solemn rendition of For Emma, Forever Ago track "Stacks," the live recording of which you can listen to below courtesy of my good friend Alec Ross. Stream it and enjoy!

[News] LCD Soundsystem Documentary 'Shut Up and Play the Hits' Coming to Theatres in July

As previously reported, the LCD Soundsystem documentary Shut Up and Play the Hits would screen in select theatres across the United States this summer, with the screening being a "one-night only engagement." Now, the exact details regarding the select screenings have been announced, with the one-night event taking place on July 18th. For a full list of participating theatres head here, and for those wishing to "demand" a screening in their area, you can go here to do so.

Shut Up and Play the Hits follows the events surrounding the New York outfits' highly publicized final performance at Madison Square Garden late last April, with Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace heading the direction. The film is being diributed by the late Beastie Boys member Adam "MCA" Yauch's distribution and production company Oscilloscope Laboratories, and when asked about the film prior to his passing, this is what he had to say: "It can be pretty clear when a band starts, but perhaps less so when it ends, or how it should end. In that sense, it's brilliant of James [Murphy] to end it in such a definitive way."

The Creators Project and Oscilloscope Laboratories are also running a contest where they will send one winner to a screening of the film in New York City, along with a meet-and-greet with James Murphy himself. Head here for details, and above you can watch the official trailer for the documentary.
