Legends of Rock, The Foo Fighters have released the first
single from their highly anticipated upcoming album, Sonic
Highways. “Something From Nothing” was
recorder in Chicago with producer Steve Albini and is a ferocious assault of
Grohl's signature growl and lashings of absolutely superb guitar riffs laden
throughout this monster of a track. I am definitely digging this track!
Check out the song below and let me know what
you think!
Pre-order a copy of Sonic
Highways today for what is sure to be the biggest rock
album this year!
Three words for you. Treat. Yo. Self.
On the 13th of October, 2011, Tom and Donna from Parks and
Recreation brought us the day to beat all other days. Once a year they spend
the entire day treating themselves – there are no excuses not to buy anything
that you desire.
At Mighty Ape we revel in bringing you the guilty pleasure items that you
can't get from just anywhere. A few of the Gorilla's have put our heads
together and provided you with a list of items you may not have bought yet as it
just wasn't practical, you didn't want to spend the money or you couldn't find
any logical use for. We have one answer to that today – Treat
Yo Self.

1. Tove
Lo – Queen Of The Clouds – Swedish songbird Tove
Lo is rapidly winning over audiences. The sparkly, synth-ridden
track,‘Habits (Stay High),’ is an irresistible dance floor
number with a decidedly dark backbone – using substances to deal with
heartbreak – and according to the singer, creating a slick pop jam like this
one is her way of dealing with relationship obstacles. Of “Not On Drugs,”
Pitchfork says “Now…she's back on her feet and reaching for the
stars—she's not on drugs, she's just in love, and she has the post-Icona Pop
beat drop to prove it”
“For me it's easier to write and sing songs about my feelings than
talking them out with people” she explained. “It's my way of
working through things”

Have you heard ‘Never Catch Me’ the latest track from
the ultra-talented Flying Lotus and Hip Hop heavyweight
Kendrick Lamar?
Give your ears the best possible treat and click play on the video
below…trust me, do it!

Encyclopedia
is The Drums third full-length album. Emerging from Brooklyn
via Florida in 2009, they smashed on the scene with their
‘Summertime!’ EP that led to a spot on the BBC Sound of
2010 shortlist, The ShockWaves NME Tour, and the publication's Phillip Hall
Radar Award.
The Drums music often explores the themes of loss,
nostalgia, redemption, vulnerability, and love with critic's raves embracing
both the lyrics and their sonic signature. This time around, they've embraced a
darker sound while making it as grand and majestic as they please.
‘Encyclopedia’ is full of “magic and surprise
while maintaining a serious, more weighty tone throughout” says Jonny.
The upcoming LP marks the first time since the ‘Summertime!’ EP that Jacob
and Jonny were left to their own devices, without having to ask a soul for
approval. The result is an exciting display of personal emotion and unashamed,
majestic songwriting style.
