in today’s “ain’t it cool” news, yeah yeah yeahs frontwoman karen o was recently tapped to cover willie nelson’s “mammas don’t let your babies grow up to be cowboys” for a chipotle sponsored short film benefiting the chipotle cultivate foundation and farm aid.
catch o’s somber tale on the country tune above and always support local farming.

interesting to see what q-tip to came up with for these two female powerhouses. santi and karen o hook up for santi’s latest single, which premiered on jay-z’s life and times website earlier today.

nasa joint with (allegedly) ODB’s last recorded verse. R.I.P. also, not sure why you’d wait to drop a video from an album that was released last february…?

off their upcoming album embryonic, the flaming lips’ song “i can be a frog” was ripe for performance. and so it was done with a single shot and a bikini-clad girl performing the song’s “i can be a…” lyrics with karen o’s sound effects (apparently phoned in) to boot. coming up next for the lips: assembling the hippie-citizens of portland oregon for a grand, naked bike-riding army.

i know in internet terms of time, this is far from new. i kept seeing it, and kept spacing on posting. maybe i assumed sb would post it. or i was just drunk. whatever. anyway, the track is the lead single from the soundtrack for everyone’s most anticipated movie of ’09, where the wild things are. o also composed music for the rest of the soundtrack as well as co-produced it.
“all is love” seems like quite a powerful embodiment of the spirit of the movie. it was recorded with an untrained children’s choir and with assistance of “the kids”, which consists of yeah yeah yeah’s bandmates brian chase and nick zinner along with members of deerhunter, queens of the stone age, the racounteurs, liars, the bird and the bee, and more. definitely pleased with the results and looking forward to the rest of the soundtrack, as well as of course, the movie itself.
