love everything they’re saying about the new album. hoppin’ on the train of “introducing an american rock n’ roll sound/working class into what we have now.” other than that, the boys talk europe (where they are), old records, current records and much more in this clip.

the xxx rapper stopped by carson daly this past week, and while the interview went fine and dandy, this outtake was cut from the final showing. brown tells a story of nearly signing and touring with g-unit, and the rest is pretty silly.

interesting of rae to say wu solo efforts hurt the wu-tang clan. i couldn’t possibly disagree more. cuban linx (1 & 2), liquid swords, supreme clientele and tical 2000 are as good as anything the wu-tang has released as a group.

the odd future crooner who’s ready to have his biggest year yet (it seems inevitable now, doesn’t it?) sat down with bbc for a feature about the upcoming sounds of 2012. he also talks about how the record will define him (obviously) and how nostalgia, ultra. took him musically.

in a replay of their saturday night live performance, the black keys sauntered their sexy way onto the colbert report, playing “lonely boy” and “gold on the ceiling.” different this time, is their interview with steven, in which the boys discuss the lack of actual el camino in el camino, fame and uh, groupies. both the interview and “gold on the ceiling” can be viewed after the jump.
el camino is out now.

if you weren’t already bludgeoned to death with the onslaught of lana del rey news, the singer sat down dutch website 3VOOR12, and divulged the meaning behind her massive single “video games.” she also flirtatiously pushes her hair back several times over the course of a couple of minutes, which is the actual reason i’m posting this video.
