Audio: Feist "My Man My Moon"

Leak week continues. Well one song isn't really too bad of a leak. That one song is "My Man My Moon", the first song off Feist's upcoming release The Reminder. Neko Case has been ousted. Feist's voice is just that much more seductive. Neko is like Virginia Madsen in Sideways -- more casual and more of a 'friend' -- whereas Feist is like Sandra Oh -- more 'you and me, lets do it right now.' I mean that in a good way, Leslie.

The Reminder is set to hit US and Canadian record stores on May 1st.

Stream/Download here (Prefix).

Ja Rule's New Hairstyle

Yikes. Anybody else think he looks like Nas in this one?

Arcade Fire Hitting The SNL Stage

Once again you will have to gather all your patience and use it while watching Saturday Night Live. Why? I don't know, watching the best band in the world seems like a good reason. Arcade Fire are set to to rock SNL on February 24th -- that's next week.

The band are currently in the middle of a 5-night stay in New York. I have only heard great things including Win handing out chocolate and other sweets shaped as hearts to the fans.

So far celebrity sightings have been Fab from the Strokes, Drew Barrymore, Andy Samberg (SNL), Spike Jonze, David Cross, and Kirstin Dunst.

Beyonce Re-releasing B'Day

While on the shoot of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition, Beyonce *deep breath* is reissuing her sophomore album B'Day. It *wipe sweat off forehead* will feature three new tracks, including "Beautiful Liar" and "World Wide Woman."

B'Day is way underrated.

Watch her photo shoot below.

Live Earth Benefit Concerts Announced


Former vice president Al Gore and others have joined forces to create Live Earth (the Concert for a Climate in Crisis), a set of 7 concerts to raise awareness about global warming. It will take place on July 7th and you will be able to catch Bloc Party and Bon Jovi to name a couple.
Sounds a lot like Live 8, eh? I really wonder if these work. People going probably tell their friends and family 'it is for the climate and I'm glad I could be part of it. I can't wait to hear Californiacation though!'
I'm positive the majority of the artists do want to raise awareness and do a good deed, but there are still the Will Smiths out there. "This is Switch and it's off my new album Lost & Found in stores now!" Read more here.
Side note: Bon Jovi rocked Live 8.
I don't know why the format is screwed up. Sorry.

Queens Of The Stone Age Album Coming In June

Queens of the Stone Age have left a post on their web site discussing details on a new album. Once you put away all the 'trying to be funny, look at us we are loose dudes' thing, you find out a title and release date month. The tentative title is Era Vulgaris and June is the hopeful launch date.

I know these guys have gone through some roster changes, so I'm sorry if the above picture has some old members in it. But who really cares?

Bloc Party Make A 102 Jump On Billboards

...From where Silent Alarm peaked. The band's second album A Weekend In The City grabbed the 12th spot on the Billboards, selling 48,000 copies. How do you think Neon Bible will do?

Fall Out Boy were #1, selling 260,000. Beyonce posed for the cover of the 2007 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition. Just thought I'd sneak that in there.
