Drop whatever you are doing (unless you are driving or operating heavy machinery) and listen to Pharrell's new song, "Gust of Wind". The robots of Daft Punk have done Pharrell a solid by reciprocating their talents for this track. Definitely a nice way to thank him for his part in making "Get Lucky" a smash hit. We need more of this kind of sound in the world. 70's string section? Check. Vocoder voices? Check. A mid-tempo groove that is dripping in hit potential? Double check. This track alone may have just convinced me to get Pharrell's sophmore set,       G I R L , when it drops on March 3rd. (Originally h/t Sascha Dikiciyan , via Beatport.

Finally! A Which Character Are You? social media survey/post/thingee that matters! The annual celebration of Rex Manning Day is fast approaching, which is undoubtedly why BuzzFeed's  Summer Anne Burton posted this query today. It was rather surprising (okay, maybe not that surprising) which character the survey revealed I am.

The Great Gig in the Sky just got a new member of it's guitar chorus, as we have unexpectedly had to say goodbye to DEVO guitarist, Bob Casale, who passed away from heart failure yesterday.

This. This right here.

We find ourselves at the corner of Necessity is the Mother of Invention Street and Imitation is the Sincerest Form of Flattery Boulevard today. Illinois pop punks Fall Out Boy are stepping up to help game-starved Internetizens, by releasing Fall Out Bird. Yes. Really.

Twenty years ago today, Green Day released their breakout album, Dookie . It was the first of a one-two punch (followed by Offspring's Smash a couple months later) which brought Punk Rock its first mainstream popularity. The album has inarguably become a classic; an era-defining set of songs which sound undated in the 20-teens and hold up under scrutiny by a completely new generation of listeners. Another thing which often begets a classic, is unconscious prescience in lyrics which, when applied to the current era, seem oddly and utterly perfect.
