Bono may be one of the most famous people ever, but his understudy is much cooler. U2's Irish frontman Bono injured his back, thwarting his headline slot at the Glastonbury Festival in June. The festival chose UK hip hop sensations Gorillaz to take his place. While we wish Bono a speedy recovery,

While it would be tough to improve U2's iconic Achtung Baby, it would be easier to improve upon more recent albums such as last year's No Line on the Horizon. That's why French DJ duo Justice, the UK's Hot Chip, and even Fred Falke and Trent Reznor took upon themselves a grand project. Along with...

The movie theater at Union Square was a quarter full with a mix of Japanese young people and other New Yorkers. What drew this group together -- one of many around the world who turned out for the special screening event on November 29th -- was the L'Arc~en~Ciel 20th L'Anniversary Live concert

There are some vital components missing from Mo Sabri's debut hip hop/rap album. You won't hear any auto tuned voices. Nobody is singing about bi%$#es, a$$es or

U2's Bono and The Edge team up with Jay-Z and Rihanna to perform "Stranded -- Haiti Mon Amour," an original collaboration written for the "Hope For Haiti Now" benefit in London. ...

If you mash-up the "mash-up" two of our newest 21st century art forms -- I'm talking about the mash-up song and the re-spliced movie-clip -- you've got a new art form: the video audio mash-up? That doesn't exactly roll of the tongue. But whatever it's called, Pogo is its leader.

It must be exhausting to be MIA. What with all these other musicians to take down, and paranoid conspiracies to promote, and "terrorist" credibility maintain despite marrying the heir to the Seagram's fortune and living in gated luxury.

Featuring the combined talents of Iggy fave Mos Def and R&B crooner Bobby Womack, the track is a down-tempo, electro-backed rap meant to hypnotize. Womack told RS that he turned down the project until his daughter chimed in. “The only thing that convinced me was my daughter said, ‘Dad, you got

Known as the first so-called virtual band, the Gorillaz is depicted as five cartoon band members who live in a fictional universe -- but in reality the rock group is only composed of frontman Damon Albarn and cartoonist Jamie Hewlett from Essex, England. The video for “On Melancholy Hill,” the

On our top ten tracks of the decade lists, both Lo and I included Sweden's Miike Snow's first single, "Animal." It's a hard, cleanly produced indie anthem about longing. And you can't get that searing melody out of your head! However lovable it is, this song about our innate animal natures is still

When The New York Times printed the travel article, "The 31 Places to Go in 2010", its top spot was Sri Lanka -- a country it described as having a "pristine coastline" that sometimes "feels," the Times wrote, "like one big tropical zoo" and then went on to mention the cocktails at the fine...

UK’s alt-hip hop mega stars Gorillaz released their third, chart-topping album Plastic Beach early in 2010. The album's success prompted the group to follow up with a re-release, which included the R&B pop single “Doncamatic” with UK singer Daley. Watch Daley race a submarine on the island of

When I watched the new video for the Gorillaz track we raved about -- the soupy, funky "Stylo" -- I was aghast to see an appearance from American baldy Bruce Willis. His rando role -- a highwayman, who chases down Damon Albarn's cartoon character protagonist reminded me of one thing: Eneos

Check out this ultrachill video for Stylo, off the Gorillaz' new album Plastic Beach. Mad-Max themed but with CGI, the video features our favorite die-hard hero, one Bruce Willis. ...

Gold Panda broke out last year with his debut record Lucky Shiner, an album produced in the wake of a break-up. The album is filled with emotional soundscapes, but one wouldn't recognize his melancholy mindset while making it were it not for a bunch of annoyingly morose track titles. Between

Scottish-Egyptian producer Kutmah remains in exile in the UK, and he's still getting mad work done there. Just a couple of days ago, he posted a 49 minute Sketchbook mix of Madlib's unreleased instrumentals that he made on his birthday earlier this month. This collection of beats encompasses the

When South Africa’s political prisoners of Apartheid were eeking out their days on Robben Island, did they ever think their lives would be made into a catchy ESPN ad? Did they think there would be a U2 soundtrack?

Webster Hall in New York is not a rock show kind of venue. That explains why popped-collar bridge and tunnelers (New Yorkers' word for the fine visiting residents of New Jersey) were confused by the 45-minute sound check commencing on the main stage while a faux-hawked DJ delivered beats to

I never thought browsing through photos, updating my status and sharing links could feel like an epic tragedy. But if you’re listening to a morose Belgian choir singing a Radiohead cover, even Facebook can make you cry.

U2 has sold millions of records, packed enormous stadiums and won an array of awards for their musical achievements. Now, the legendary Irish rock band can check one more accomplishment off their to-do list: open a film festival with their incredible story.

U2 talked to us about the possibility of releasing another album in 2009. "We certainly have loads of material," The Edge said of the songs they have leftover from the No Line on the Horizon sessions.
