[Watch] M83 - "Oblivion" Live on Kimmel

We've not really given enough love to M83 here on SKOA, so we apologise for that. You may or may not be aware that they put together a great soundtrack to the latest Tom Cruise blockbuster, Oblivion. Anthony Gonzalez and Nicolas Fromageau last night enrolled the help of Susanne Sundforør for a hair raising rendition of the soundtracks title track on Jimmy Kimmel Live. If you missed the broadcast last night, check it out above. 

If you like what you hear you can pick up the full soundtrack over here.

[Listen] Has the Official Version of Daft Punk's "Get Lucky" Arrived?

Is it real? Is it a fake? This is the question we've all been asking these past few days about all of the so-called "official" leaks of Daft Punk's highly publicized new single "Get Lucky." This time, though, it might just be legit. Earlier today, Sonic 102.9 in Edmonton dropped a radio edit of the single, but it has been pulled. Since then Dutch radio station 3FM has posted a video of the exact same "radio edit." Check it out below and let us know if you think this is real or not.

Coincidentally, Amazon just recently posted a page for "Get Lucky," with a release date of April 19th. The page also featured the above artwork. Is this the official version of "Get Lucky" or are we being duped again? I guess we will find out on the 19th.

UPDATE: MTV reports that the song will be available to download tonight at 12:01am.

[Watch] Check Out Vampire Weekend's New Promo Video Featuring Steve Buscemi

This video made my day. Easily. Last month, Vampire Weekend bassist Chris Baio found out that he is a distant relative of Steve Buscemi, and the band hired him on to direct their upcoming April 28th concert at New York's Roseland Ballroom. This promo video sees Steve paying the boys a visit at the studio and the results are pretty hilarious. The awkward interactions between Steve and the band are priceless. Check it out below.

Vampire Weekend's third album Modern Vampires of the City is out on May 14th.
