As 2012 comes to a close, Kanye West just had to get everyone talking again. He kicked off a three-night stint Friday in Atlantic City, taking the stage at Revel Resort's Ovation Hall for part of his "7 Screen Experience."
Since Community has yet to premiere its fourth season (six more weeks!), Joel McHale and NBC released a new clip from the show's forthcoming holiday episode—which will now likely air in late March. Take a look below.
Continuing to support his solo debut Former Lives, Death Cab For Cutie's Ben Gibbard appeared Thursday night on Conan. Joined by Los Angeles-based mariachi outfit Trio Ellas, he performed “Something’s Rattling (Cowpoke)."
So Kanye West caught some flak last week during his performance at the 12-12-12 Concert for Sandy Relief, including jabs from Chris Brown (?). While it certainly was a topic of conversation during and following the event, a newly-released VOYR video reveals some backstage footage of Ye and his team discussing the look when he first entertained wearing the piece from Givenchy several months back in the middle of his Watch The Throne tour with Jay-Z.
While Zooey Deschanel was in the news for other reasons on Tuesday, her musical duo with M. Ward She & Him premiered a sweet little animated video for their holiday song “Baby, It’s Cold Outside,” one of the 12 songs featured on their Christmas album, A Very She & Him Christmas (Merge Records). Directed by Elliot Dear, the video plays off the back-and-forth vocals of the song, which is destined to be a new holiday favorite.
Following the release of their video earlier this week for "Miss Atomic Bomb," The Killers have wasted no time in cranking out another set of visuals. In this newest video for "Here With Me," the band is seen performing in an empty grand performance hall between creepy sequences of a man falling in love with a wax mannequin, one which occasionally comes to life to love him back.
Don't start a fight while Florence Welch is performing her hit song "Shake It Out." You might get called out—and then hug it out—with the British frontwoman of Florence + The Machine.
Because it's just not enough that his own music is so incredible, Ben Howard had to go and cover Ellie Goulding's latest single "Figure 8," giving nothing short of a brilliant performance this week on BBC's Radio 1. Amongst a string of new material, Howard re-imagined the British songstress' track with great vocal prowess and some mad guitar skills. Watch the performance below, with a nice nod to Little Dragons "Twice" towards the end.
Macklemore and Ryan Lewis made their TV debut on Tuesday night, performing their popular single "Thrift Shop" with a little help from none other than The Roots on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. Their recent album The Heist stunned industry watchers earlier this year when it debuted at No. 2 on Billboard.
The Killers got pretty animated—literally—in telling a decades-long love story for the new "Miss Atomic Bomb" video. Once again, the Las Vegas-based rockers successfully utilize true-to-form costumes and production in the part-live action, part-animation visuals centered on their latest single off Battle Born.
To celebrate Tuesday's release of his latest album Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumors, Big Boi performed Monday night at Manhattan's SOB's, and he managed to surprise the crowd with some guests. Among them were A$AP Rocky and Phantogram, joining the rapper for their track "Lines," which appears on the album.
How's this for your Tuesday? Last week, during Spotify's press conference to detail future U.S. plans, Frank Ocean performed a short set for those in attendance. Before transitioning into "Voodoo," off his Grammy-nominated Channel Orange, the singer treated everyone's ears to a minute of Radiohead's "Fake Plastic Trees." After hearing his cover, you might agree that one minute just isn't enough.
