OK Go’s got a new music video for their song ‘WTF?’ (one of our favorite categories at Fashion Indie). This video has some pretty crazy effects…check it out on Youtube

Great song, even better video! It’s always good to start your day with a good music choice.

Now I know we don’t really cover too much music on Fashion Indie, but when I read this I just couldn’t keep it to myself. SPIN Magazine made my day today with their article literally saying that Radiohead blows. I’ve never been a fan of the band at all, and have adivacated quite frequently that they are over hyped douche bags, who play terrible music, and rock a mean elitist indie persona (when in reality they are all millionaires). Well it seems that my thoughts are shared by Chris Norris who was brave enough to speak out against the cult band in an article in SPIN Magazine.

The article is actually very well written, and his points are spot on. Want to read about Radiohead sucking? CLICK HERE

Cobra Starship is really good at having a lot of really hot girls in their music videos. Check out the video for ‘Hot Mess,’ the song to the album title, and see them pick up a lot of hot, drunken girls the same way the Ghostbusters pick up ghosts. No one can be as hot as Leighton Meester in ‘Good Girls Go Bad,’ but they can try!

One of my favorites Miami Horror realeased a new music video for their track “Sometimes”. I love this video, it kind of reminds me of that show Lost, except this is actually good.

The video for Empire State of Mind has just hit the web. Love this song. It’s the perfect tribute for the greatest city on earth. If you don’t like this song your most likely from LA.

Um, so the songs about threesomes (and sometimes foursomes … on the floor) but the gyrating dancers and played out choreography make me think Miley Cyrus more than Jenna Jameson. Come on Brit Brit, I was hoping for an I’m A Slave for You sequel, not some PG porn vid. Watch it after the jump, but you’ve been warned. It’s about as sexy as tube socks.

The uncensored version of Girls’ Lust for Life video features a bunch of  naughtyness that couldn’t make it in the “Safe For MTV” video. We’ve got the video just for you. Enjoysies.

So happy for these guys. I’ve been listening to them for years, back in the days when Gaga was opening for them in the LES. Now the tables have turned, but in the best way possible. Semi Precious Weapons will be opening for Gaga on her sold out Monster Ball tour. Suck it Kanye.

We have known about this one for awhile now, but the video for 3OH!3’s next single Starstrukk featuring Katy Perry was released, and I’m totally diggin’ it! Besides the amazing Brian Lichtenberg dress that Katy wears in the fountain scene, the recently 25 year old singer is rocking a pretty hot leopard print dress as well.

Dear Katy Perry, if you’re out there somewhere reading this, keep up the good work, you look amazing!

So this is a new video I found randomly by a band called Hey Champ. They are an “up and coming” electro band from Chicago.

I’ve never posted anything about videos or other bands before, but I guess I feel inspired lately. I love the way the video moves, with the slow motion and all. There’s something really dirty and sexy about it. And there’s nothing better then dirty and sexy.

Waffles + Falafels ‘youngest in charge’ Sky Ferreira has released a new track on her Myspace. It’s called ‘femme fatale,’ and the waffles girls claim it’s only the beginning to many Sky tracks to come!

I just found out about this hilarious webshow that films in Time Square. Their sixth episode featured one of my good friends Steve Kellner, the lead singer of NJ band Van Atta High. Hear about his band, and what the ‘Late Night’ host Paul Costabile has to say.  Plus, catch the hilarious sketch from the team’s ‘musical’ Los Miserobles.”  Gorilla Late Night shoots every Monday at 43rd and Broadway at 8pm, so if you’re ever in Midtown and don’t hate Times Square as much as I do, check it out!

See Episode 6 Below:

I’m actually a fan of this. Sorry for Miley haters, but this song is catchy as hell.

So in case you haven’t noticed, I’ve been exposing my musical pleasures of late on the site in hopes that you would not only pick up on some new music, but get to know what I’m all about a bit more. Well one band that I have been following since my freshman year in high school (that’s right 8 years) is Paramore, and while I’ve been taking a ton of heat for it from everyone at the office lately, I will back them 100% always (doesn’t help that I think lead singer Hayley Williams is absolutely gorgeous).

Moving on to the real point of this story. The red headed lead singer recently sat down with Spin Magazine to talk about the bands latest album Brand New Eyes, how the band almost split up, and whether she dreams about other rock stars or not. The interview is actually pretty funny she talks about how she was more excited to see Paulie Shore than Diddy.

It really is an awesome interview, so be sure to head over to Spin Magazine and check out the full interview.

I’ve been excited about this for weeks. I’ve been Tweeting about it, and writing about it, but it is finally here! Fashion Indie friends the birD day have finally released their debut self titled EP! With the EP come some amazing new promo pictures too! Check out my man Jay’s white denim vest! Super jealous!

So here’s a little gift from both the birD day and Fashion Indie, it’s free downloads for everyone! Just click here to download!

Can’t lie I’m pretty stoked on this one! According to his Twitter, Steve Aoki has teamed up with his fellow Dim Mak-er Bob Rifo of the Bloody Beetroots to form a new band called Rifoki. It’s very punk rock, grunge, fast and absolutely brilliant! They are working on their first single now, but they do have a short demo called “Sperm Donor” up on their MySpace page.

Check out more on their MySpace Page!

I’m not super stoked about it, but Death Cab For Cutie (and possibly Bon Iver and Radiohead) recorded a new single for Twilight’s ‘New Moon’ soundtrack…it’s streaming for FREE on Stereogum right now..and you can pre-order the soundtrack on the Twilight website..if you get the basic package you get this MP3 immediately and the soundtrack emailed to you a few days before…or you can be crazy and get the super limited edition package for $499.99 (no, that isn’t a typeo) and get a ton of Twilight special things.  Check out the pre-order goodness here

LISTEN!!! It’s a really good song, not surprising for Death Cab of course

Some of our favorite New York DJs, Designer Drugs [Michael Vincent Patrick and Theodore Nelson] chatted it up with Groove Effect to talk their European tour, and everything behind their music:

GROOVE: In a generation with the popularity of electronic music growing what are some artists outside of DJs that have influenced you?

DESIGNER DRUGS: Well I would think we are influenced by a lot of pop music which is pretty much electronic these days. We have been listening to a lot of non electronic music lately to relax. After working on electronic music in the studio it’s nice to take a break. In my current play list I have been listening to The Horrors, The Germs, Slowdive. Washed out is making some really great music right now too.

G: How/when did you and Theodore come together to form Designer Drugs?

DD: We met during high school and went to neighboring high schools. We were both into raves at the time and met through mutual friends. We both djed and wanted to make music so we started banging out tracks with the bad equipment we had but that was short lived because I was about to go to college in Philadelphia and Theo was going to the military which at the time was the only way for us to get out of the small towns we were from. We continued producing music on and off for the following years.

G: Is there a story behind the name Designer Drugs?

DD: Not much, In middle school I read about it in a drug awareness book and thought it sounded cool and it stuck in my head. We didn’t really think about the name much.

G: You guys have so many epic remixes of some great songs. Which one was your favorite to produce? Favorite one to drop live?

DD: I really like playing the remix we did for Fake Shark Real Zombie. I had fun writing it as well. We had a lot of fun writing the Little Boots remix. Fast songs are great. We stayed up all night and wrote it. When it was done we went out for breakfast. I remember I didn’t have an air conditioner that summer and it was REALLY hot.

G: How do you feel about your upcoming tour?

DD: Stoked, Europe is amazing. I just woke up in Barcelona and am about to go shopping in the gothic neighborhood. It’s very beautiful.

G: Can you tell me a bit about your upcoming release?

DD: Yeah we are releasing our second single on Iheartcomix, Riot and Drop Down. You can actually hear an old version of drop down on a youtube video Elle Rex did from when we were in California this summer for the BFD festival.

G: Just curious, if you had the chance to collaborate with any artists of any genre who would it be?

DD: Keri Hilson and Lady Gaga. They are very hot!

Courtney Love gave an exclusive performance to a bunch of Alexander Wang groupies at Gas Station (the gas station under the highline at 14th). It was amazing.

What do you guys think? This kindof reminds me of Protozoa from the movie Zenon..doesn’t he sing a song called ‘Supernova Girl’?

I like that one way better….

I headed over to the last Jelly Pool Party of the summer yesterday with Alyssa and Jamie from Love Brigade to see friends play dodgeball, and watch Grizzly Bear.   I had heard of Grizzly Bear, but I had never seen them. I was pleasantly surprised by their live show, and I think Mischa Barton, Solange Knowles (or is that Beyonce?), and Jay-Z all were too. The lines were crazy long, and people were trying to jump the fences (one girl ate shit and fell flat on her face), but overall, everyone seemed to be in to the beautiful weather and awesome music. Check out Grizzly Bear on their site, and see photo evidence of the whole day (and after party) by Nicky Digital. Sundays are fundays!

I haven’t put my pirate hat on yet and started hunting for it, but the rumor is that Jay-Z’s Blueprint 3 is up for grabs on the web. It’s insane how the Internet ruined a lot of what the music industry once was. Anyone steal this album yet? Is it any good?

The wardrobe for this video is absolutely sick.

Jay-Z (the head of the song) said:

“The song is about evolution and the progress, you start out as a new artist and you make your way into the game. You climb that mountain and you get to the top and you put your flag down. This is us putting our flag down. This is Roc Nation. Pledge your allegiance. You’ve got to put your flag at the top of the mountain and say we run this town.”

I couldn’t help myself, I had to post the new music video by Paramore for their new song “Ignorance”. There are supringly a couple different reasons for doing so too. The first is that she does her own make up, and tends to do a pretty good job. The second, the video has glimpses of a pretty stylish outfit that front woman Hayley Williams rocks in some form of blue glass cube. Lastly, this band has show signs of being (if they aren’t already) the new No Doubt, right down to the hairstyle shown through out the video as well. Be sure to check out the video below:

Yeah, the Wonder Girls are all popular and shit. We act like we don’t care, we do.

Twitter is a buzz to the news that Wonder Girls will be touring with the Jonas Brothers. Their first single Nobody just hit the American air and these girls are the hotness. Get to know them, get over them, and then play their records in ten years to your kids as you reminisce about the good old days when Asian pop artists ruled the world.
