Metal Lungies

We’ve been waiting on pins and needles for a new track from Beat Drop alum Chromeo since they teased us back in November with Sexy Socialite and, duh, they’re starting 2014 out strong by teaming up with another one of our favorites: Toro Y Moi. Come Alive stays true to Chromeo’s funk roots with Chaz Bundick’s vocals adding an extra layer of awesome. Can they just team up and create a super band already?

Chromeo has mentioned that on the forthcoming White Women there will be appearances from Vampire Weekend’s Ezra Koenig, LCD Soundsystem’s Pat Mahoney, and Solange Knowles. Needless to say… we’re excited.

Check out Come Alive below:

I’m not gonna lie… what I feel like I need in my life right now is more Drake, anything Drake. So, needless to say, I got pretty excited when I saw that Holy Ghost! had done a cover of ‘Hold On’. Playing to their strengths they deliver an ultra-synthy version of the jam (that sounds slightly less like it was created on a Casio keyboard). Check it out below:

Duck Sauce (we’re talking A-Trak and Armand Van Helden… although the condiment is maybe equally as awesome) is preparing for the release of their forthcoming album Quack, due out early next year, with a 2 hour essential mix on BBC Radio1. BBC Radio1 is known for their solid mixes (as seen in the past when we’ve mentioned Jamie XX ) and this one delivers just as solidly as we’d hoped. The mix is sprinkled with samples of their new tracks along with other jams. Check it out:

Budweiser’s (and Jay Z’s) Made in America festival is back for a 2nd year, this year headlined by Mrs. Jay Z (Beyonce) (Saturday) and Nine Inch Nails (Sunday). Shockingly, Metallungies is getting to go.. because we blackmailed a lot of people! As a public service, ML will be on the instagrams, the vines, and the twitters to help you decrease your levels of FOMO.

ML’s must-see list is: Beyonce, Nine Inch Nails, Queens of the Stone Age, Pheonix, Calvin Harris, Empire of the Sun, Imagine Dragons, Kendrick Lamar, Public Enemy, 2 Chainz, A$AP, Walk The Moon, Nero, Porter Robinson, Wolfgang Gartner, Fitz & The Tantrums, HAIM, Schoolboy Q, AB-Soul, GTA, Robert DeLong, Redlight, Jay Rock. Sounds like I listed about 80% of the lineup, which sounds like some good concert lineup curation to me, ML tips our new era cap.

It will be interesting to see which of the days has a bigger/more hype crowd, ML is betting on Saturday. Also assuming this festival comes back next year, can Jay be backed by Illadelphonics? Thanks in advance.

Note: The Wavves were added to the lineup and they don’t appear on the image above.

If you can’t make it Philadelphia, you can watch the stream via youtube which is embedded below. Also, the documentary about last year’s Made in America by Ron Howard has been acquired by Shotwime, and will air October 11, 2013.

Full lineup and set times after the jump.

Big, heavy, woozy remix from Daedelus. Like his Baths remix, but shot up with horse tranquilizer. The house remix by Eliphino jams too.

Another June is here and what do you know, MetalLungies is going back to a farm south of Nashville in Manchester, TN, yet again.

As long we even have 56k-esque data service on our phone we will try to vine, instagram, twitter as much as possible as FCC regulations allow.

Not braving the best farm of ten-a-key? Ustream will be streaming all weekend long a pretty comprehensive offering of the acts performing live.

Instead of just listing a bunch of names like we have in years past, or hyping up some scenester dude name Paul McCartney, Meaghatron & Myself picked out some #protip picks to see at the festival.

Check them after the jump.

Well, this just made my work day exponentially better. Perfect in the background but even better if you stick around and watch the video, so much talent I feel like my head is going to explode.

Just when you thought you were tired of hi-hats and 808s, Zomby drops this slinking banger to tease his new album With Love which comes out next month. As Cam’ron once said, it’s gonna be a hot summer.

Check out this remix of James Blake’s Voyeur by UK based Bear // Face. Somehow he managed to out-ethereal the ethereal master himself.

Revenge of the nerds.
