[Watch] Check Out Major Lazer's NSFW Clip for "Bubble Butt"

Eric Wareheim of Tim & Eric fame has been putting his directing chops to good use lately. First, he gave us the bizarre video for Beach House's "Wishes," and now he's giving us something even more bizarre. Bringing Major Lazer's goofy single "Bubble Butt" to life, viewers can indulge in countless amounts of bouncing, jiggly bubble butts, tentacles that give hipster girls bubble butts, and oh so many bubble butts. Forget me trying to explain, just go ahead and watch it.

[Listen] Deap Vally - "(She's A) Wanderer"

A few days ago we offered up a brand new track from Alabama Shakes which is to be used on Volume 4 of True Blood's new soundtrack release. Today we get another brand new gift from the vampire loving show from Deap Valley. I may not be a fan of the show but what does that matter when the musical gems they feature on it are this damn good. Titled "(She's A) Wanderer" it's raw and guttural from start to finish. it's making me doubt my choices it TV shows. Check out the duo's track below courtesy of CoS.

True Blood: Music from the HBO Original Series Volume 4  is out on the 28th of May via ATO Records. 

[Watch] Biffy Clyro - "Black Chandelier" (Live in London)

I have a habit of playing music I love far too much. This year I've done it with a few albums already. This image kind of sums up my feelings towards music in general. Anyway with that in mind I've seriously given Biffy Clyro's latest studio release, Opposites, some heavy play. Multiple plays on a weekly basis and when it was released it was pretty much all I listened to for a month. I'm not kidding. Yet I still absolutely love it, and it's nice to see Biffy still offering up fans new stuff for fans on the regular. At the start of the month they released a live video of them performing "Different People" live at London's 20,000 capacity O2 arena, and today they give us a peek at them in the same venue rocking through "Black Chandelier" . Check out the video at the top.

Opposites is out now.

[News] Threadfest returns for a second year this weekend

We've seen more and more small festivals peeping their heads out amongst the giants in recent years and they're bloody great fun. We took a trip to Leeds a few weeks ago for LAL 2013. This weekend a few smaller ones are taking place and it truly is beginning to feel like Summer is upon us. Dot to Dot in Manchester, Bristol and Nottingham. In Bradford though, Threadfest is returning for its second year of fun and frolics. Taking place this bank holiday weekend, 24-26th of May, and for all of you short on pennies as the end of the month looms, it's absolutely free. Not only is it free but the line-up is damn good. Festivals like this are a damn good way to not break the bank and also to open your eyes to a whole new world of music and bands. 

The full line-up can me found over on the official site but bands I'd recommend you check out would be Hawk Eyes, Blacklisters, Blood Sport, Illusory Centre, and Super Luxury. But there's a host of others playing so if you're in the area get yoruself over there this weekend and have yourself some fun!

[Listen] Stream Disclosure's Infectious New Single "When A Fire Starts To Burn"

Disclosure continue to impress. Seriously, these brothers have yet to release a track that I dislike. They just know how to get my booty shakin' with infectious beats. Their newest cut "When A Fire Starts To Burn" is one of their best yet, a clubby number met with a repeating vocal sample ("When a fire starts to burn, right / and it starts to spread"). It's pulsating, four-on-the-floor goodness. I'm as excited as ever for their debut album Settle to drop.

Settle is out on June 3rd.
