Just came across these new Banksy pieces. For those of you who are Banksy fans (which is probably everyone), you won’t be disappointed. His stuff is still as poignant and insightful as ever. My favorite has to be the fox eating the Colonel’s head — talk about irony.

Okay, so maybe this isn’t exactly a music video per se — it’s more like a montage of some exotic vacation that just so happens to be synced up to Washed Out‘s sleeper hit jam “Feel It All Around.” The high-def video was created by filmmaker Chase Heavener, who just so happens to own an amazing camera (Seriously, the video looks amazing). The euphoric, chill song and happy, leisurely vacation footage go extremely nicely together.
Washed Out’s latest album Life of Leisure sounds like it could have been put together by a 5 person band. The truth is, though, that Washed Out is just the alias of Georgia native Ernest Greene. His sound can best be described as lo-fi, hazy electro-pop while his vocals are rhythmically intoxicating.
…[Greene’s] music is exquisite almost beyond belief, but it’s got a bleached/blanched-out quality, like a photograph that’s lost its lustre, or a slowly fading memory-tape of classic 60s and 70s (and some 80s, such as Tango In The Night-era F Mac) pop.

Watch the video, and let us know what you think.
Remix Fridays is a little segment that we’re going to be posting each and every Friday here on Jetcomx. I’ve been wanting to do this for a while now, since I always come across so many good remixes that need to be listened to. These are posted on Fridays because, well, that’s the start of the weekend which usually has parties, and that’s prime time for blasting killer remixes.
In the inaugural Remix Friday, we have some some classics that have been remixed. These include some Biggie, Tupac, Rick Ross, Michael Jackson, Passion Pit, Jack Peñate, Kanye West, Empire of the Sun, Justice, and Kid Cudi. Take a listen and enjoy.
What to you get when you take Conor Oberst, M. Ward, Jim James and Mike Mogis?
Oh for Christ’s sake, you must be living under a rock if you didn’t know that the answer is Monsters of Folk!
How to describe this collaboration… Monsters of Folk is a glorified sort of hillbilly rock that leaves room for a little class and a lot bite (I mean, they are monsters after all). Since Tuesday, the debut of their self-titled album, I’ve been listening to this collection of 15 tracks on repeat to get a good, firm grasp on my opinions. They don’t seem to mess around with the music, so I won’t mess around with the review. But so far, I’m really liking it. The songs take you to other worlds. On my way back from Coolidge Corner last night, I pumped up ‘The Right Place’ in my earphones, and when I closed my eyes I saw people ho-downing in the grass at sundown.
A more formal review to follow, I promise.
But anyways, if you missed it last night or want to watch it again, check out their performance on Conan O’Brien:
Without decent explanation, I can’t bring myself to see the Twilight movie nor do I want to read the books. But the soundtrack for New Moon (the next movie of the Twilight trilogy) has just been finalized, and the track list has really got my interest.
It features brand new singles from big names like Lykke Li and one-of-a kind duets from not only Bon Iver and St. Vincent but also a [what I’m predicting to be genius] collaboration between Grizzly Bear and Beach House.
Take a peek, or a good look if you’re so inclined:
01 Death Cab for Cutie: “Meet Me on the Equinox”
02 Band of Skulls: “Friends”
03 Thom Yorke: “Hearing Damage”
04 Lykke Li: “Possibility”
05 The Killers: “A White Demon Love Song”
06 Anya Marina: “Satellite Heart”
07 Muse: “I Belong to You (New Moon Remix)”
08 Bon Iver and St. Vincent: “Rosyln”
09 Black Rebel Motorcycle Club: “Done All Wrong”
10 Hurricane Bells: “Monsters”
11 Sea Wolf: “The Violet Hour”
12 OK Go: “Shooting the Moon”
13 Grizzly Bear: “Slow Life” [ft. Beach House’s Victoria Legrand]
14 Editors: “No Sound But the Wind”
15 Alexandre Desplat: “New Moon (The Meadow)”
Look for its release on October 20th.
New Moon hits the theaters November 20th.
