  • Video: Keri Hilson f. Lil Wayne, "Turnin Me On"

    23 hours ago — The moral of this video: if you are a dude and not wearing a shirt and are sort of sweaty and rubbing your chest tats on FADER 51 cover star Keri Hilson's first-90210-era Shannen Doherty bustier, you're probably not going to get too far into the boobie-hula before Ms. Hilson starts reading you pages from the Don't Be a Douche handbook, even if you are fine as hell.

  • Freeload: Santogold, "Shove It (Switch Remix)"

    24 hours ago — If years of listening to Mad Professor albums taught us anything, it's that the dub remix is a thing of subtlety. If a couple years of listening to Switch remixes has taught us another thing, it's that he has little respect for subtlety.

  • RCRD LBL: Gentle Friendly, "Ride Around Shining"

    1 day ago — After spending 3+ months with an assortment of Gentle Friendly songs, our favorite thing about them is how they take a bunch of weird noises—lasers, flutes, shitty drum machines—and turn the whole mess into exuberant songs.

  • Freeload: Little Boots, "Meddle" (Baron von Luxxury Remix)

    1 day ago — A month or so ago, when Little Boots played at The FADER Fort during CMJ, we spent a lot of time thinking about how her performance was much better than it needed to be. You could have thrown the whole thing onto a stadium-sized stage and she still would have wowed.

  • Auto-Tune Voted for McCain/Palin

    1 day ago — We obviously don't have the same animosity toward Auto-Tune as most other hip hop listeners on the internet, but this made us laugh pretty good. Some dudes calling themselves Roger Riley and Teddy Troutman recently made a couple Auto-Tuned remixes of Black Moon and A Tribe Called Quest's classics available to Rappers I Know, and while it's obvious the intent was to put a nail in the software's coffin, we have to say that we are actually into Phife's verse on "Electric Relaxation.

  • Freeload: Blank Dogs, "Red World"

    1 day ago — During a recent late night music epiphany session, we realized that Blank Dogs could be the fuzzed out Joy Division-referencing version of Lil Wayne. Like Wayne, dude puts most of his music out for free and with alarming frequency.

  • Prancehall's Bass Odyssey, Part 35

    1 day ago — If grime were a Paula Radcliffe race, right now would be the point where she is crouched down along the road taking a piss in front of a shocked and confused nation. This week I came across something which, for me, is the final turd in grime's now festering, fetid septic tank: "Bethnal Green" by Ruff Sqwad's Slix and Dirty Dangerous.

  • Freeload: Stricken City's "Lost Art" Remixes

    1 day ago — Since we first posted about Stricken City back in July, we've had a couple inner debates about what's more interesting about the band: their music, or Rebekah Raa's peculiar dance moves. Their songs are pretty inoffensive, so it must be the herky jerky.
