Via press release: “Red Flag” is a call-to-action, meant to inspire fans to stand up to people like Russian President Vladimir Putin and New Jersey governor Chris Christie (who is petitioning his state’s court to repeal their recent ruling allowing gay marriage). “We want ‘Red Flag’ to be the theme song for a movement that helps change the world for …

The list of 2014 nominees for the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame was announced today. On the list for the eighth time are disco legends Chic, who remain fronted by mega-producer Nile Rodgers (Madonna, David Bowie, Duran Duran.) I took the photo above at Chic’s free show at Lincoln Center last summer. “Teen Spirit” and “Good Times” may be …

E! Online has a recap: Alexander Skarsgård shirtless, just how we like him! In Cut Copy’s new “Free Your Mind” music video, the hunky True Blood star plays a cult leader (a super-sexy cult leader, that is!). Adding to Skarsgård’s cult-leader look is a long, blond wig. In the vid, Skarsgård is shown doing a number of unusual things: He …

The music is this track.

Surprisingly, I don’t hate this. I denounce myself!

She sounds a bit like Olive’s Ruth-Ann Boyle.

Scary Spice is back with a dance raver and a clip in which she sort of makes out with herself. Guaranteed to be huge in the gay clubs.

Get Lucky, the first single from Daft Punk’s Random Access Memories, went to #1 in two dozen countries. Today the group issued the video for the follow-up single. Chic’s Nile Rodgers appears on guitar. I like this a lot more than Get Lucky, which was hyped into the stratosphere.

Last night Pet Shop Boys kicked off their North American tour at Miami Beach’s Jackie Gleason Theater where the New Times described the sold-out audience as “mostly elder gay men, with about 20-percent women and music nerds.” That seems about right, actually.  Pet Shop Boys concerts are always a giant singalong, as the below clip from last night shows. The …

There will be a supporting video next month.

The DCist provides a review: Deathfix—the Dischord Records supergroup comprised of [Blowoff DJ] Richard Morel, Fugazi’s Brendan Canty, and Medications’ Mark Cisnero, and new drummer Jerry Busher—released their debut self-titled album early this year, and it’s still a frontrunner for one of my favorite albums of 2013. Today, the psychedelic post-punk band put out a music video for their goofy, …

Blowoff will bust its sweaty, furry self into the Gramercy Theatre this Friday. Doors open at 11:00pm and advance tickets are here. Be advised, the last party sold out.

I’ve been streaming this track all summer and finally there’s a video. A dance remix EP has also just gone live on iTunes.

Organizers have canceled the final day of the Electric Zoo Festival on Manhattan’s Randall’s Island after two attendees died of suspected drug overdoses yesterday. Four others are in critical condition. Citing “serious health risks,” the city recommended canceling the event, hours before the third day of the festival, known as the Electric Zoo, was to begin, and the festival’s organizers …

Lady Gaga debuted her new music video in Times Square this morning where the clip played on every Jumbotron. Her label is reportedly shocked that the single is already sinking on the charts and the follow-up is being rushed out in just two weeks.

Another track from the coming Hesitation Marks has leaked out online, but you might like the live version that NIN opened their Lollapolooza set with two weeks ago. And whoa, Trent’s arms.
