Ohio blues-rock duo The Black Keys are currently hard at work on a hip-hop/rock side project known as Blakroc. The idea for the hybrid project actually came about after rapper Jim Jones and Roc-A-Fella records co-founder Dame Dash approached them. Featured on the upcoming album are some of the biggest names in hip-hop, including Mos [...]
It’s been a good past two weeks for Phoenix. First they performed on The Tonight Show, then they were featured in a Cadillac commercial, and finally they were remixed by Friendly Fires. Now, two new Phoenix remixes have surfaced. The first is by Neighbours and avant-folk singer/songwriter Devendra Banhart, while the second is by none [...]
Of all the music that we showcase here on Jetcomx, I would have to say that emo is probably one of the least represented genres. Why is that? Maybe because emo was so 2002? Well, not really — in fact, it’s alive and well.
Earlier this year, Sunny Day Real Estate, one of most influential [...]
So I just came across the soundtrack for the upcoming Spike Jonze flick Where the Wild Things Are. Jonze selected Yeah Yeah Yeah’s frontwoman Karen O. to help make the soundtrack as reminiscent of childhood as possible. I find this notion a little strange, since the Yeah Yeah Yeah’s are more known for being in [...]
This week in Mixtape Mondays, we have Church League Champions from Pac Div (aka Pacific Division). If you’re not familiar, Pac Div is a three-man rap group out of Southern California. They’re somewhat new to the rap scene, having released their first mixtape Sealed for Freshness back in 2006. The success of Sealed for Freshness [...]
Keeping it short and sweet here.
I just really like this track off of Atlas Sound’s Logos released earlier this month. Atlas Sound is the name of Deerhunter frontman Bradford Cox’s solo project.
Spin magazine described ‘Walkabout’ as the following:
Bradford Cox’s blissed-out fantasy of an Animal Collective song playing on a merry-go-round at Panama City Bead [...]
I come to praise Patrick Swayze, not bury him. He was our B-level action star with romantic credibility, and we forgave him for Dirty Dancing and Ghost because he gave us Roadhouse and Red Dawn. The martial arts crossover was inevitable–execs don’t see any difference between ballet and kung fu — and the expressionless acting [...]
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.

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 [...]
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 [...]
