[Watch] Queens of the Stone Age's Full Lollapalooza Set

If you're in the wrong part of the world, or maybe you were busy this weekend like me, you may have missed some of the fantastic looking sets from Lollapalooza 2013. Don't fret though, we've got you covered. If you're suffering a mid-week "I can't be arsed to do any work right now" kind of vibe, sit back, put some headphone on and enjoy Queens of the Stone Age's full set via the awesome folk at Antiquiet. Wonderful stuff.

Don't blame me* if you get your lazy ass fired from work though for slacking and watching this.

*It'd be worth it though.

[News] Here's Why Daft Punk Wasn't on Tonight's Episode of The Colbert Report

So, excitement was pretty high earlier today when Stephen Colbert's website confirmed an appearance by Daft Punk on tonight's episode of The Colbert Report as part of Colbchella '013. Lo and behold, the robotic duo were nowhere to be found. During the opening segment of the show, Colbert explained why:

Here’s the story: it’s a true story. We booked click and clack over here about a month ago. This network is owned by Viacom, which is also the owner of MTV… Apparently, Daft Punk are going to make a surprise appearance on the MTV Video Music Awards. Don’t tell anyone, because fun fact: no one told me until two hours ago."

Apparently MTV has an exclusive for a live television performance by Daft Punk, and they, and parent company Viacom, nixed the chances of a visit to The Colbert Report. Too bad for them, 'cause Robin Thicke took the title of "new song of the summer" with "Blurred Lines." Colbert took it even further, dishing out a "Get Lucky" montage featuring Hugh Laurie, Jeff Bridges, the cast of Breaking Bad, Jon Stewart, Jimmy Fallon and more. Watch it below.

Daft Punk will be performing during the MTV Video Music Awards on August 25th, during which Kanye West is also scheduled to perform.

[Album Stream] Check Out All 9 Tracks from Washed Out's Sophomore LP 'Paracosm'

Ernest Greene, aka Washed Out, had a clear goal with his new sophomore album Paracosm. He wanted to create an album that was "optimistic, very much a daytime-sounding album. I think the last record [2011's Within and Without] felt more nocturnal in some ways. This one I just imagined being outside, surrounded by a beautiful, natural environment."

Assisting this bright, natural sound were over 50 various instruments, recorded and sampled by Greene and producer Ben Allen in Athens and Atlanta, GA. The result is 9 songs of varying depth and layering, each with unique charm and flourish. Greene wants to share these with you one week before Paracosm hits stores. Head over to iTunes to stream the album in its entirety, and check out the video for "Don't Give Up" below.

Paracosm Tracklist:
01. Entrance
02. It All Feels Right
03. Don’t Give Up
04. Weightless
05. All I Know
06. Great Escape
07. Paracosm
08. Falling Back
09. All Over Now
