[Listen] Deftones Perform New Song "Rosemary"

Our good friends over at Antiquiet have pointed us in the direction of some exciting new music from Deftones. Yesterday in California the band performed a private show at Warner Bros. Records and during it they played a track called "Rosemary" which we expect will appear on their follow up to Diamond Eyes later this year. For now check out the recording below and I've also thrown in a few great looking videos of them performing "Diamond Eyes" and "Digital Bath" after the jump too. Treat yourself, it's Saturday!

[Listen] Bloc Party - "Day Four"

Recovered from your Friday night yet? Well if not, hit play on this great sounding cut from Bloc Party which is set to feature on their forthcoming album, Four. The track is titled "Day Four" and is a mid-tempo jam seeing the band back on form not that they were ever off it. It's just nice to have them back after so long. The track however is a little different from "Octopus" which we heard at the start of the month. 

Four is set for release on August 20th via Frenchkiss Records.

[Watch] Arctic Monkeys Perform At London 2012 Olympic Opening Ceremony

Last night the eyes of the world were on London for the opening ceremony of the Olympics and the creation of Oscar-winning film maker, Danny Boyle. I must say I was pretty impressed by the whole thing. What really got our excitement going was the use of music in the show. Emeli Sandé made an appearance before Dizzee Rascal appeared from a home in the middle of the arena. Two Door Cinema Club and Paul McCartney also made an appearance. A highlight for me was Arctic Monkeys who performed their ever popular debut single "I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor" (via) before taking on a cover of The Beatles' "Come Together". See the rip roaring performance of "Dancefloor" at the top with the Beatles' cover after the jump. I am a proud Brit right now, or as Kibbe calls me, her Britch.

[Listen] MVSCLES - "Where You Are" & "Sweet 'n' Sour"

Boston duo MVSCLES have only two songs to their name, but those two songs are absolute gold. A month ago, they dropped the contagious single "Sweet 'n' Sour", a swirling combination of bleeping synthesizers, catchy vocals, and enthralling production that came out of nowhere. It's the kind of song that seemed too good to be true for a first try, and they proved everyone wrong yesterday when they gave us another new track. "Where You Are" is as good, if not better, than the duo's debut single, with an incredibly high falsetto introduces us to a wave of sweeping, spacy synths and dreamy vocals. This is genuinely addicting stuff. 

[Listen] JJ Doom - "GUV'NOR"

Earlier this year, we got our first taste of JJ Doom, the collaboration between the masked menace MF Doom and rapper Jneiro Jarel, with the song "Banished". The song is set to feature on the pair's collaborative LP Key to the Kuff, which is set to drop next month, and now we have another cut from the soon-to-be-released long play. "GUV'NOR" offers solid delivery from Jarel and fantastic instrumentals from MF Doom, although if you know what to expect from Doom then there won't be many surprises here. Still, it's a great track. Stream it below.

Key to the Kuff is out on August 21st via Lex Records.

[Watch] The Shins Cover The Magnetic Fields' "Andrew In Drag"

During their current trip to Australia, The Shins stopped by the Triple J studio to perform for their covers program called Like A Version, where bands perform one of their own songs along with a cover of their choice. The cover they chose to perform was The Magnetic Fields' "Andrew In Drag", one of the highlights from their latest LP Love at the Bottom of the Sea, which dropped earlier this year via Merge/Domino. Check out their performance above (via Fake Walls).

[Watch] Two Inch Punch - "Digital Love Letters" (Official Video)

Two Inch Punch is no stranger to using old movies and cropping together footage for his videos, having done so with Barbarella last month. This time around, the West London producer has used cropped together footage from Matthew Broderick's 1983 film WarGames to make the video for his track "Digital Love Letters". The footage goes perfectly with the song, given the teenage love story and the fact that Broderick's character is a hacker, so give it a watch above.

"Digital Love Letters" was included on Two Inch Punch's new Saturn: The Slow Jams EP, which you can grab over on iTunes.

[News] Animal Collective Launching Weekly Radio Program

Animal Collective sure as hell know how to build hype for an album, and they're doing it in a way that you might not expect. From July 29th to August 19th, the Baltimore psychedelic outfit will host a weekly radio program every Sunday night, which will stream live on their official website. If the idea of an Animal Collective-run radio show isn't enough to whet your appetite, they're promising that the first episode will feature brand new content from Panda Bear, Black Dice, Haunted Graffiti, and Sublime Frequencies. Not a bad way to get fans excited for Centipede Hz.

Centipede Hz is out on September 4th via Domino Records.
