Diplo, Faustix & Imanos, Kia › Revolution

I can't believe I slept on this one! Not that it matters, but considering Diplo made huge waves last year on these charts as one of the members of Major Lazer, and more recently in a collabo with Sia and The Weeknd on Elastic Heart, I'm thinking I should've come across this one sooner. And maybe I did. But it isn't until now that it's struck the right chord. Revolution is one of the tracks from Diplo's Revolution EP, released in October of 2013, with its accompanying video published last January. Amazing beats, amazing vocals, deeper lyrics that you'd like to believe, interesting video. Not much else to say, just hit play.




And why not? Listen to those great remixes while you're at it. My personal favorites are the RUN DMT and Panic City remixes. Check those out.

Coachella 2012 Lineup

From Billboard.com:

The 2012 Coachella lineup has arrived.

The SoCal festival's eagerly awaited lineup was posted to its Facebook page on Monday, where it met with a flurry of comments from fans and haters alike.

There's plenty to discuss: the festival, which expands to a second weekend this year, will featuring headlining performances from ascendent rockers the Black Keys, headlining alumni Radiohead and a collaborative performance by Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg (assuming he's available after today's marijuana possession arrest).

The hip-hop headliners marks the festival's third year in a row with MCs at the top of the bill, following performances by Jay-Z and Kanye West in 2010 and 2011, respectively.

Coachella is known for its reunions, and this year's festival will coax a number of acts out of hiding: it will feature an appearance by Neutral Milk Hotel's Jeff Mangum, marking the first Southland appearance of the previously hermetic indie musician's current tour, as well as punk icons Refused and At the Drive-In, which announced its reformation on Twitter earlier on Monday. '90s alt-rockers Mazzy Star, who surprised fans with new recordings late last year, will perform on the festival's first day -- as will the resurgent Jarvis Cocker-led British act Pulp.

As usual, the considerable lineup ranges from electronic dance music (Swedish House Mafia, Girl Talk, DJ Shadow) to adventurous hip-hop and R&B (Azealia Banks, the Weeknd, A$AP Rocky) and indie favorites (Arctic Monkeys, Feist, Wild Flag). Among the higher-profile acts is the Grammy nominated Bon Iver, who made surprise appearances at 2011's festival alongside the National and Kanye West. Diva fans can get their fill with Florence + the Machine, who will perform on Sunday.

The festival will be held at Indio, Calif.'s Empire Polo Club with identical lineups on April 13-15 and April 20-22.

LMFAO Gets To The Top

Lots of action as we start the new year with last week's first chart-topper for Rihanna, We Found Love featuring Calvin Harris, moving down a spot to #2 while LMFAO seize the chance and jump five and all the way to the top with Sexy And I Know It to claim the first #1 of 2012. The song, which jumps with Greatest Gainer honors, is also the first chart-topper for the electro-pop duo who in spite of charting six other songs in the past have only had major success with this title and Party Rock Anthem, the latter seeing a post-holiday resurgence this week as it reaches a new peak (#3) after 24 weeks on the chart.

A couple of acts new to the chart get their first Top Ten hits starting with Gotye's Somebody That I Used To Know featuring Kimbra jumping to #6 in its fifth week on the chart while Afrojack and Steve Aoki's collaborative track, No Beef featuring Miss Palmer, jumps seventeen spots to #8 this week. Foster The People's Pumped Up Kicks and Coldplay's Paradise round up the Top Ten. The week's Highest Debut and Power Play track belongs to Drake and The Weeknd's Crew Love landing at #40. More new titles on the chart include Katy Perry's The One That Got Away (#52), Sean Paul & Alexis Jordan's Got 2 Luv U (#64), Rihanna's You Da One (#65), Pitbull & Chris Brown's International Love (#66), Jessie J's Domino (#69), David Guetta, Nicki Minaj & Flo Rida's Where Them Girls At (#70) and Amy Winehouse's Our Day Will Come (#71).

'Dreams Money Can Buy' by Drake

From Billboard.com:

As Drake fans await the follow-up to debut album "Thank Me Later," the Toronto rapper has posted a new track, "Dreams Money Can Buy," on his October's Very Own blog this morning (May 20).

The track finds Drake waxing poetic about the finer things in life over a moody beat that samples U.K. singer-songwriter Jai Paul's single "BTSTU." "Dreams money can buy/They told me it's like a high and it wasn't a lie," Drake raps in the chorus-less track's second verse.

"A song that I felt the need to share," Drake explains on his blog. "Not my single. Just a piece of my story. Hear me out though..."

While Drake is currently working on his sophomore album, "Take Care," the Grammy-nominated rapper also spent time in the studio with indie R&B act The Weeknd, dishing on the pairing of the "young kings" on Twitter yesterday. Drizzy also steps up to the mic on DJ Khaled's latest single, "I'm On One," which also features Lil Wayne and Rick Ross.
