BADBADNOTGOOD Unleash 2 Improv Jazz Soundcloud Loosies, "Here and Now" & "Timewave Zero;" Tease Unreleased Sam Herring-assisted Material (Innovative Leisure)

"DROPPING SOME NEW TRACKS IN THE [MORNING] JUST TO SAY, "HEY WE'RE WORKING ON NEW TUNES JUST EXPLORING AND FINDING... THANKS FOR THE LOVE AS ALWAYS," @badbadnotgood cryptically Tweeted late Thursday night; on the heels of their latest impending non-album double-header, "Here and Now" and "Timewave Zero." okayplayer's own skilled wordsmith Michael Eric Gonik fittingly described "Timewave Zero" as a "full-sprint psychedelic jazz & rock romp built over a dizzying shuffle and lurking, murky organs." Gonik then continued to describe the slightly more subdued, college slam poetry bar-leaning "Here and Now" as "[ramping] up the reverie with a sampledelic treatment that could double as a lost Sun-Ra outing with a more straightforward groove." While they've previously reinterpreted everyone from Ol' Dirty Bastard to Kanye's favorite London-bred crooner James Blake, BBNG's recent Innovative Leisure "debut" III essentially functions as a modern day free-associative Hip-Hop-minded Improv Jazz album, in its own right.

Following the wide-spread success of III and a few terribly unsuspected neck-snapping remixes, BBNG unleashed their first collaborative album-length project recorded with expert Wu-Tang Clan swordsmen, Ghostface Killah, critically-acclaimed Sour Soul. It would appear as through bandmates Chester, Alex & Matt have now teamed up with groove-inclined Future Islands frontman, and sometimes emcee, Samuel T. Herring (aka Hemlock Ernst) for a similar-minded as-yet-unspecified project; as part of Red Bull Sound Select's 30 Days In LA series, BADBADNOTGOOD & Sam Herring performed their "Seasons (Waiting On You)" Remix together for the first time over the weekend, in addition to a currently-untitled collaboration the newly-minted foursome reportedly recorded as recently as two weeks ago. "Been a blast writing and recording tunes for the past four days with the amazing "Sambino" [Herring] at Studio 69," @yungbadbad enthusiastically wrote on their BBNG Instagram handle.

[W]reckless, Topless American Youth: Lana del Rey - "Born 2 Die" (Britney Spears Birthday 30)

Lana del Rey [Lizzy Grant] effectively became 2011's "It Girl" with the release of her phenomenal debut single, "Video Games" (Stranger) . Like many struggling singer-songwriters, Grant has been signed, dropped, and significantly changed her public image since bursting onto the scene (2009). With that said, it can be assumed that Lana del Rey has collected just as many "haters" as she has avid supporters. To be perfectly honest, the only other artist I can think of that made this much commotion... garnered so much wide-spread buzz/hate and critical acclaim -- right out of the gates -- with just one track is Britney Spears . And maybe in this post- Mike musical era, that's the true synthesis of Pop Culture: Britney Lynn Spears . After months of repeated teasing and speculation, Lana del Rey 's major label debut, Born 2 Die will [finally] be released this coming Jan. 30-31, 2012. Pitchfork reports that it will feature "Off to The Ra

Lindsay Lohan essentially embodies exactly "What NOT to Do In Hollywood :" Fame, fortune, success... sex, drugs & Rock "N" Roll .

That's the pure basics of it - But Google that shit for additional info, if necessary. Towards the end of
