Progress Report: Kings Of Convenience

NAME: Kings of Convenience
PROGRESS REPORT: Recording their third studio LP, Quiet IS The New Loud (working title), at Esagono Studios near Reggio Emilia, Italy

Things are coming full circle for Kings Of Convenience, at least as album titles go. "We have thought about Quiet IS The New Loud, says Erlend Øye of their upcoming third studio album. "But the record company might object to that." Quiet Is The New Loud -- the same title minus a capital letter -- was the name of Kings of Convenience's 2001 debut album. It's been five years since their last LP, 2004's Riot On An Empty Street, so a confusing title isn't the biggest concern, especially when most assumed the duo had stopped working together.

New M.I.A. (Clothing Advertisement Dressed As A) Video - "Shells"

Continuing being totally retired, Maya's got a new video today. The first title card to splash across the screen credits "Film & Clothes" to M.I.A. -- which means it's essentially a spot for her seizure-baiting fashion line. But she remains of full belly, which means you won't see her wearing any of it. In fact you won't see her at all (she's retired, remember). Instead the vid incorporates the stills and models you'll recognize from that time you were shopping for tees, set to the sped up version of "Shells," a track that first appeared on her October-released EP How Many Votes Fix Mix, later bundled into the Kala deluxe edition. Imagine what it would be like if she was actually working these days.

New Pains Of Being Pure At Heart Video - "Everything With You"

Onetime BTW the Pains Of Being Pure At Heart are about to release their self-titled full-length debut on Slumberland. It's the perfect place for their jangly, noisy late '80s/early '90s-style indie pop. Yes, they like the Pastels, Black Tambourine, etc. For the Art Boonparn-directed clip for "Everything With You," which shows up on the album and as a 7", the New York quartet's represented by keyboardist/vocalist Peggy and her best friend, who have pillow fights, share gum (and sodas), and otherwise wander a gray-day city.

MGMT Bring Thanksgiving To Paris

Always up for making a/the scene, MGMT fully indulged their Thanksgiving performance of Oracular's spectacular "Kids" with some seasonal showmanship in this clip from French variety show Le Grand Journal. While I'm sure Parisians find ways to give thanks on a daily basis, they don't have a Thanksgiving Day with America's associated lore per se. So welcome our voweless cultural ambassadors, teaching the French about that first cold, hard winter and the generosity of a doomed native civilization by dressing as hipster pilgrims with a table of feasters in front, a Segway rider in back, and flanked by a swath of sexy, pug-toting Native Americans on one side with an artist capturing all the elements of the supper on the other. History is the best.

Fleet Foxes Harmonize In Nigel Godrich's Basement

Stereogum x Amazon MP3 Friendly Deals #4: Animal Collective's Strawberry Jam

Here's the next installment in a series that brings you classic indie rock albums at hugely discounted prices. Every week, Amazon.com is letting us select one album from its MP3 store to go on super sale (up to 75% off normal prices). Hopefully you'll be able to add these must-own LPs to your library without breaking your budget. Today's deal: Animal Collective's Strawberry Jam.

Animal Collective's eighth (seven studio, one live) album Strawberry Jam is the most recent title in our series of Amazon selections. That said, a lot has happened -- post-Strawberry jams, Water Curses, the impending Merriweather Post Pavilion, apologies from Grizzly Bear -- since we first heard "Peacebone" thru "Derek." When going back through A.C.'s output, it's difficult labeling a true "best album" because they've managed to shape-shift for so long. You could see Sung Tongs as the crossover, but Strawberry Jam is where they found a way to deepen their sound, making it more accessible (a la Panda Bear's Person Pitch), but just as adventurous as their earlier, more free-form work. For starters, the nine songs' food, firework, Al Green, and magi-centered lyrics -- don't forget that mildewed rice -- are easier to parse than past chirps and chants, the syllables even less stuttered than those on the lovely Feels. It also goes down easiest from start to finish.

New George Michael - "December Song (I Dreamed Of Christmas)"

This isn't another "Last Christmas," but it is another downcast George Michael sung Christmas song. It's his first since the 1984 Wham! tune. NME reports that it'll be available for a free download at GM's site (and other non-George Michael digital sites) on Christmas Day. They also note it was recorded for Eli Stone, on which Michael has a recurring role, so expect dramatic visual happenings, too. You really don't need to know any of that, though, to hear the melody that saved George on those less than silent nights.

New Lily Allen - "The Fear"

Lately Lily's been making news more for music than bloggerrhea: collabing with Kaiser Chiefs, turning out bits from her forthcoming It's Not Me, It's You, etc. As she's said, Lil's "trying to do this album with integrity, and I want you all to know that it has been thought about by me, not just some thrown together last minute industry bullshizz." To wit, "The Fear" is a retitled and touched up version of the synthy demo we heard in April, then titled "I Don't Know." As we said then, "gone is the party bounce, the ska doobies, and syncopated cadences that marked her breakthrough material," but this new wave of Lily material's catchy, and subversively clever as ever.

New Bruce Springsteen Video - "My Lucky Day"

Bruce Springsteen's been "Working On A Dream" and working on promoting his new album of the same name. In addition to the title track, we've heard both bonuses, "A Night With The Jersey Devil" and "The Wrestler." Now we have the video for "My Lucky Day," which shows up sans visuals as Working's second track, right after "Outlaw Pete." Also, I'm guessing the above is the album art, since it showed up mysteriously on Bruce's MySpace. So if you were curious about that, well it's your lucky day.

New Jay-Z (Featuring Santogold) - "Brooklyn (Go Hard)"

That B.I.G. biopic Notorious will have an OST likely dominated by Biggie Smalls cuts, especially since his estate is so creepily enamored with the project, but here's at least one track for the collection from some of Brooklyn's other residents. The Jay-Z fight song, titled "Brooklyn (We Go Hard)" (or less the "We" depending on which corner of Google you ask) gets its title from the intro line to Santogold's "Shove It," which is sampled here and surrounded by some cavernous and dramatic, "Jesus Walks"-style Kanye production. Jigga starts the fight song with taunts to "test my Stuy" in a Carribean patois, big ups Bigs throughout, and BK-transplant (and recent Kanye tourmate) Santi adds chants to the hook, represents Bed-Stuy in the last verse. Listen up:

New A Camp - "Stronger Than Jesus" & Colonia Album Art

Cardigan Nina Persson is teaming up with husband (and Shudder To Thinker) Nathan Larson and fellow Swede Niklas Frisk for the second A Camp album Colonia, the followup to 2001's eponymous debut. On the album they're joined by ex-Dambuilder and late-period GVB drummer Kevin March, Joan Wasser (aka Joan As Police Woman), Nicolai Dunger, and James Iha. You can take a listen to the first single "Stronger Than Jesus" at the Reveal Records site. And, you can look at Nina's head here:

Rivers Cuomo Preps Rarities, Carols, Aly & AJ Collab

The seemingly evergreen slate of Rivers projects got a re-up recently when Billboard sat with Mr. Cuomo to talk shop. First up, for Weezer fans, there's the tentatively titled Odds And Ends collection which will be just that: a selection of "great songs" spanning the band's career which "for some reason ... didn't make the final cut for [a] record." In addition, iPhoners will find six Weezer-covered Xmas carols ("they're the classics") in the game Tap Tap Revenge. Also the Red Album campaign will push into '09, with a likely tour supporting Oasis and a Spike Jonze-directed video for "The Greatest Man Who Ever Lived."

Finally, Rivers is collaborating on a track with teen duo Aly & AJ. That should be a fun video. If all of that is too far away, here's Rivers making a gift of himself to you. 'Tis the season.

New Low Video - "Santa's Coming Over"

It's clearly the season for a lot of Christmas (and other holiday) songs, so brace yourself. Low's "Santa's Coming Over" gets us started on a creepier note -- the track's title and main sentiment sounds more like a warning than most Santa songs, which is reflected by (and refracted onto) the faces of the various cherubic kids and post-kids in this video. The song appears on a 7" of the same name. Lock your chimney.

Britney On Cover Of Glamour; Joy Of Sex Revealed

Britney's on the cover of Glamour this month, she looks fine, she's alive, whatever, but what actually grabbed my attention was this article teaser: Anyone have any guesses about what the one thing that makes sex very very good could be? I've been trying to figure this one out for some time now, it's a real head-scratcher, but I'm glad Glamour appears to have gotten to the bottom of it. Also, Britney is on the cover of this issue. I mentioned that already? Cool. (In Case You Didn't Know, via Celebitchy)

OPEN THREAD: Bad Economy Turns Black Friday Shoppers Into Major A**holes

On Thursday, my father came home to announce that the Black Friday line outside of our local Best Buy was already in full force. ON THANKSGIVING DAY. He reported that there were probably 20 or so people sitting in lawn chairs, awaiting that glorious moment when, before dawn, the electronic doors would open to reveal a handful of televisions and laptops marked down to almost unheard of prices. We laughed at the insanity of others, and continued about with our pre-turkey self-basting rituals. Many hours later, driving home from a delicious Thanksgiving dinner at my parents' friends home at around 11 PM, we had a great idea: Let's drive by Best Buy and see just how many maniacs were lined up now. So, like a Boyz in the Hood drive-by, we shut the lights off of our aging ex-cruise-ship Lincoln Town Car, and did the "slow roll." The line was MADNESS. At least 200 people sitting either on the concrete or in rickety beach chairs, arms folded, pissed, at roughly T minus 6 hours until bargain mayhem. A few pre-planners even had tents. This was serious business. My Dad stopped the car near the front door, and I rolled down my window to get a better look. A couple of people shot us dirty looks. "Hi!" I beamed. No response. "How long have you guys been waiting?" Fire eyeballs shot out of angry slits. It was... awkward. They were, strangely, in not so amazing moods. So, without further annoyance, I took my camera out of bag to snap a photo of these jerk-offs. And, like a starlet who automatically flashes a smile with each passing flashbulb, a group of about 4 campers, without hesitation, gave me the middle finger. I bring you that picture here... unedited (Note: The 4 extremely unattractive people directly in front of us who shot us the finger were sadly, not captured.):

My Mom had the brilliant idea to drive the car back around and yell out of the window "Where do y'all sh*t?" But because the Collins' love life, we opted against it. And thank God we did. Little did we know, Black Friday shoppers are literally animals. OPEN THREAD TIME! We want to know: Did any of you wait on line or wake up at some ungodly hour to buy electronics? What sort of deals did you score? Tell us your stories/thoughts about Black Friday in the comments. We are bargain shoppers at heart, so feel free to impress us.

Tina Fey Parodies The Botox Commercials In Vanity Fair

By now you've probably seen the cover, and perhaps even read the article, with Tina Fey from the upcoming Vanity Fair, but here is one of the pictures from the inside. It's funny, and reminds me of those Botox ads where the ladies exxxxpreyess themselves, laughing hysterically and having the time of their lives:

The difference here, of course, is that Tina IS having the time of her life and does not need to do a Botox commercial to make money. Unless of course that commercial is a parody. Didn't they do one on SNL once? (Not the talk show dedicated to the Botox lifestyle.) I can't find it anywhere. Anyway, the article also includes a couple of absolutely STUNNING photos of my hero, after the jump:

Ivana Trump Seeks Lucky Number Five: Could It Be You?

Before we go on, please ask yourself the following questions: 1. Do you like older, foreign women? 2. Do you sleep on a bed made of emeralds, rhino spines and baby panda bones? 3. Does your name sound suspiciously fake/verrrry Italian? 4. Do you live in a building named after your name? 5. Does your hair force other people to vomit uncontrollably? 6. Do you enjoy dipping your balls in the salty ocean froth of the Amalfi coast? If the answers to any of these question is "YES!", then have we got some good news for you: Ivana Trump is single again. Yes, Ivana, the ex-wife of the famously gaudy Donald Trump, is now seeking divorce from her fourth husband Rossano Rubicondi. This divorce flies in the face of the age old saying that "The more fun a man's name is to say out loud, the more he will satisfy you both physically and emotionally." But there is hope for Ivana yet. At only 59 years of age, she's got PLENTY of years of flipping her men over and shaking them for every last penny in her. And who knows? Maybe YOU could be the next Italian man with a photogenic beach shlong to sweep her off of her feet! Tell us in the comments why Ivana should pick you to be her fifth husband. Feel free to link to photos of your own selves in speedos and post your home phone/fax numbers and yearly incomes. But please, don't be all "what are you doing? who is this? police on line two." if you happen to receive a call from any/all of your BWE.tv bloggers.

Revisiting Now That’s What I Call Music #1

Now That's What I Call Music Volume 29 is perched near the top of the Billboard charts this week, which got me to reminiscing about the origins of this bestselling monster we call the NOW series (the U.S. compilations starting in the late 90s, not the 80s U.K. things) and how far it's come since that first commercial from 1998 that aired so many damn times, I had the order of the song clips (and the corresponding images of Marcy Playground sticking through the floor) memorized. The original NOW #1 tracklist reads like a time capsule from some lost 1990s civilization that shared a two-faced fascination for throwaway pop and catchy-ass nonthreatening rock music, with genres and styles so disparate from one another, it's hard to imagine the songs being hits in the same century, let alone within the same years. The album also contains the funniest back-to-back tracks on any compilation cd ever (or any album ever, for that matter):

I don't imagine that in the Venn Diagram of fandom, the Radiohead circle and the Aqua circle overlap very much, but whoever threw this album together was a goddamn comic genius who clearly foresaw people listening to this album in the future and growing to understanding the schizophrenic 1990s on a deeper level of enjoyment. The album also contains the second funniest back-to-back tracks on any cd: That's right -- Now #1 combines America's brief love affair with three blond kids we all initially mistook for girls with our two-second renewed fascination for swing music. For bonus, subtle comedy, the band of three dudes who look like teenage girls are placed right next to the band whose name boasts about their ability to de-virginize young ladies. If that was on purpose, then again, I salute you, Now That's What I Call Music volume-compiling team. Any fond / not so fond memories of the original U.S. Now cd, readers? Anyone have a chance to listen to it recently? My friend threw it on in a car ride this past summer and I nearly died when Karma Police came on...

Amazing Race Lesson #1: Never, Ever Lose Your Passport and Money

Last night, in one of the biggest Amazing Race upsets ever, frontrunng team Toni and her guido-but-sweet son Dallas Imbimbo (this is LITERALLY his name, which is Latin for "he with the Staten Island Hair") were eliminated from the race, after Dallas left their passports and all of their money in a taxi cab in Moscow. I repeat: The guy left ALL OF THEIR MONEY AND THEIR PASSPORTS IN A CAB. It's bad enough for this to happen in real life, or in a city, say, that isn't Moscow. But on national television! Gel hats off to Dallas' mother, who did not pummel him into a bloody coiffed mess once the horrible news was broken. And sadly, their fate was sealed. They were so behind, in fact, that the adorable Phil had to take his leather-clad ass miles away from the Pit Stop to deliver the heartbreaking news. More importantly, this mean's that this season's requisite "bumbling idiots", Andrew and Dan, have now made it to the Top 3. Which should ensure a pretty entertaining albeit clumsy finale.

Does Saxby Chambliss Cop A Feel On His Granddaughter In This Video?

Georgia Republican Senator Saxby Chambliss (best name ever) made a Thanksgiving greetings ad, in which he quite possibly gives his granddaughter the "bad touch." Personally, I'm on the fence. What do you think? Creepy or no? I don't think it's odd to hug a child around the chest. I think the question is: how old is the granddaughter, and does she have boobs yet? It's borderline I think...but either way, whoever produced this thing should have noticed and done something about it.

These are the great questions of our time.

AMPTP Responds To WGA Claim That CEOs Reneging On New Media Residuals: "Difficult, Costly, Time-Consuming"; But WGA Replies: "We Will Force Compliance"

The AMPTP seems to be admitting that New Media residuals are not being paid to the WGA. Why? A lot of "the dog ate my homework" excuses. It's clear from this press release that Hollywood is starting to see the studio and network CEOs flopsweat. (See my previous, SCANDAL! WGA Goes After Big Media For Reneging On [...]

Vote For Most Newsworthy Media Figure

My pal Patrick Phillips, an adjunct professor in the journalism department at NYU, is holding his IWantMedia.com's 7th annual poll for Media Person of the Year. Hollywood's striking writers were voted the top figures in media in 2007 in a landslide vote (maybe because DHD linked?). Make your pick for 2008's leading personality in the media world who [...]

It's BYOLI (Bring Your Own Leg Irons)

Kinda ironic that the WGA is holding its holiday party on December 7th at The Highlands located at the Hollywood & Highlands Center, scene of the recent rent-a-cop handcuffing of WGA activists. But the invitation notes that The Highlands is not owned by the Hollywood & Highlands Center. But you still have to go there. Ugh. WGA Activists Handcuffed By Hollywood Rent-A-Cops [...]

UPDATE: Financial news outlets are reporting that Viacom Chairman Sumner Redstone is starting to try to unravel his financial mess. He sold his 87% stake in video game maker Midway Games for a mere $100,000.

beyonce shows off her diamond ring bling!

damn! i want a huge rock on my finger - just like beyonce! she was showing off her gorgeously extravagant (and pricey - costing an estimated $3.7 million dollars) 18 carat diamond wedding ring (made by designer lorraine schwartz) earlier this evening at the new york city premiere of her new flick cadillac records (opening in theatres this friday december 5th) also in attendance was her main squeeze jay-z but the couple didn't pose for any pics together (at least i couldn't find any...) and ms. knowles won't be selling her wedding pictures anytime soon (even though she was apparently offered ridiculous amounts of money) this is one couple who really does like to keep things as private as they can - and manage to pull it off somehow (their april '08 wedding was like the celebrity undercover event of the year) although i'm not a huge fan of his - i do hope they stay together - if beyonce is happy - then i am too! popbytes over & out for now...xoxo

blake blames himself for amy's addictions

hey hey! in the seemingly never ending saga of my dear amy winehouse (her life is totally material for lifetime's next movie of the week) her soon to be ex-hubby blake fielder-civil is now claiming responsibility for turning ms. winehouse into a drugged out zombie - he blames himself for introducing her to the good times of heroin, crack cocaine, and self-mutilation (every parents dream of what a future son in-law might bring their daughter) apparently amy had been smoking pot (which is quite nice if i do say so myself) but once she got all hot & heavy with blake - she wanted to try a little bit of what he was having...we all know a little turned into a lot! you can read all of what blake has to say over on news of the world - now the only questions that remain are - will the cracked out couple actually divorce? and how much money will blake want from amy?!? (he shouldn't demand anything if he's a decent person - and truly sorry for dragging amy down) below are pictures of ms. winehouse before she became a serious junkie - taken only four years ago! like i've said many times on here before - i hope & pray she'll be able to beat her addictions and get her shit together - i'm totally itching for new music from her! (sadly she's quite far off from dropping new tracks but hopefully she'll turn things around) popbytes over & out for tonight...xoxo

Tina Fey Explains Her Scar

Creator of Emmy Award-winning TV show “30 Rock” Tina Fey has kept hush about the dramatic story behind the faint scar that is on the left side of her face. Miss Fey, 38, says, “It’s impossible to talk about it without somehow seemingly exploiting it and glorifying it.”

Finally opening up, Fey tells that when she was 5-years-old, she was playing in the front yard of her Upper Darby, Pennsylvania home when a stranger approached and cut her cheek. “She just thought somebody marked her with a pen, “ said her husband, Jeff Richmond.

Kristen Stewart Dotes Praise on Robert Pattinson

Doting praise on her co-star, Kristen Stewart is thankful that Robert Pattinson achieved the part of Edward in the hit movie “Twilight,” saying that she cannot imagine another actor in the role.

Shenae Grimes Takes to Toronto

Enjoying a relaxing getaway north of the border, Shenae Grimes was spotted making her way around Toronto, Canada on Monday afternoon (December 1).

Miley Cyrus: Photographer in the Making

Although Miley Cyrus’s photo shoot in Vanity Fair was extremely controversial, it doesn’t have the young star feeling any kind of regret. She even felt that the photo shoot with Annie Leibovitz inspired her to want to be a photographer.

“Everyone outside of America liked it a little bit more because that’s more like the style, but the States are really conservative,” Cyrus told the UK’s Daily Record.

Carla Bruni-Sarkozy Stands Up For AIDS Research

Not only is she France’s First Lady, but Carla Bruni-Sarkozy is also a vehement fighter in the fight against AIDS, due in part to her brother Virginio Bruni-Tedeschi’s death two years ago.

The model-turned-singer was spotted at a press conference held at the Hotel Marigny in Paris, France earlier today. She chose today as the launch of her new mission because it is World AIDS Day.

Kim Kardashian Says “No More Stripping”

Blake Fielder-Civil: I Ruined Amy Winehouse

As he’s coming to terms with his own drug addiction, Blake Fielder-Civil says he’s convinced that it was his influence on wife Amy Winehouse that caused her to get hooked on drugs.

Maybe Miley Cyrus Will Leave Our Lives

Miley Cyrus might leave us to pursue photograhy. Maybe she wants to take crotch shots of her little model boyfriend, who really isn’t as hot as eveyronemakes him seem.

He looks sort of like a pretty boy and I’m personally not enthused by that sort of bullshit. A man is supposed to have a dominant appeal rather than a feminine pansy look.

Anyways, Miley might drop the slut act, and start learning about photography and London. What is it with her and London? Just move there already stupid bitch, we don’t want you here.

Where's The Love?

The events which have occurred in the past week has made me extremely disgusted towards mankind. How can we, being human- having souls and hearts murder other human beings in the masses?

 I thought that the war that the US is fighting in would prevent such devastation from happening. The attack on Mumbai has left India shaken and has demeaned of confidence that its leaders can keep them safe and revive an economy.

195 people have been murdered and I have close friends who were actually at the Taj and escaped from this horrible terrorist attack. Taken from bloomberg: Chidambaram, 63, who had been finance minister for the government's entire 4 1/2-year term, said Nov. 28 the economy will "overcome" the impact of the shootings and blasts in the nation's business capital. Even as a global recession spreads, he predicted India's growth would rebound to 9 percent from as low as 7 percent this year.

Honestly, I think that India will rise above this, but India will not back down and turn the other cheek. These attacks have been going on for too long. Many people are pointing at the Pakistanis. But I highly doubt that they ordered these attacks. It is unfortunate that the terrorists were Muslim, because now there will be more animosity towards Muslims.

I don’t even know what else to write, this is absolutely disgusting. And all we can do is pray for these people. We shouldn’t end negotiations with India either. We shouldn’t be afraid. Fear is what the terrorists want to inject into our minds- let’s not give them the satisfaction that we are afraid.

Here is what I am listening to.
