I can't help but look at The Year That Was for the artists that pop up with fresh content in this last few weeks of the blog year. For N.E.R.D. and its most visible face, Pharrell, it was a collaborative... CONTINUE READING NEW N.E.R.D. VIDEO - "SOONER OR LATER"»

Last year's Clash-sampling, terror-ific "Paper Planes" found a second life this summer, thanks to Pineapple Express and a bunch of hot rappers. Maya tells Rolling Stone, "The way human beings hear stuff, it's like, suddenly a song sounds better to... CONTINUE READING M.I.A. GETS MASHED-UP BY DIESEL, REMIXED BY JAY-Z»

In July Common released the two-track Announcement EP, which was really just that: an announcement that there was a new record on the way, of which Pharrell Williams figured to be a big part. The EP's Neptunes-produced/Pharrell-featuring pair of songs... CONTINUE READING NEW COMMON (FEAT. PHARRELL) VIDEO - "UNIVERSAL MIND CONTROL"»

When we first brought up the selling power trio of Santogold, Julian Casablancas, and Pharrell we played you their fast food-redolent jingle "My Drive Thru" and mentioned that there would eventually be a video ... or, well, Chuck Taylor commercial...

It's an unlikely trio of artist that are helping get Converse's centennial celebration underway. Maybe not the pairing of Pharrell and Santogold -- actually it's somewhat surprising that this is their first project together -- but Strokes lead man Julian...

What do you get when you combine the selling power of Bud Light's Santogold with the laconic New York charm of the Stroke's Casablancas and the non-laconic L.A. sizzle of N.E.R.D.-y Pharrell Williams (not featuring Lindsay Lohan)? Basically, a well-produced... CONTINUE READING SANTOGOLD, JULIAN CASABLANCAS AND PHARRELL ARE CONVERSE ALL STARS»

Yeah not "Feat." Lindsay Lohan in a way that'll do much for her artistic cred.

Director Philip Andelman gives American Gangster's most smoothed out nighttime track a fittingly low-lighted, evening air -- "four separate and unrelated stories, four unique trips taken on by four girls in one night in New York City," is the pitch...

Pharrell and N.E.R.D. have been on our minds a lot lately, the In Search Of...-era coming up by way of comparison when describing to friends the production ticks and sleazy beats of "Golden Prize," the first single from Apes & Androids' awesome debut LP. So, news of new N.E.R.D. is welcome, particularly because, as expected, they're flashing some new looks. And we dig at least one of them: The sax 'n' double-bass verses kill, but the hooks are soporifically smoothed out and the "all the girls standing in the line..." line is just another slice of "B.O.O.T.A.Y." Don't think Apes & Androids will sound like this anytime soon. N.3.R.D. is out sometime this spring.

Kanye, remember when times were simpler, when you had your innocence and shit wasn't so ham-fistedly black and white?

A freak-folk tribute to Madonna is on its way, this summer sees her involvement in the Gore-curated, Geldof-slammed Live Earth spectacle, and today the material mom releases a single in celebration of the vaguely environment-saving celebration.

From what we've read, Gwen Stefani was preparing an EP of L.A.M.B.'s bananas-lite leftovers. Pharrell thought they could pull off a full-length sequel. And that's how The Sweet Escape was born.

As we've mentioned in the past (2007), Robert Schneider's not afraid of the graceful sellout. So, no, we're not surprised that he and his E6 cohorts just scored a Pepsi commercial. (Heck, we already knew how much E6-related bands loved...
