Philly songstress Santigold is back with a longer hair-do and a new packet of ass-dropping tunes set for release this summer on her second album, Master of My Make-Believe. The first tune, “Big Mouth” is a pretty straight-forward set of chants and percussion that’ll make you pine for the time before Diplo made trance hits and M.I.A. made everyone angry. Check out the colorful video and download the tune for free at her website.

Austin, Texas survived her 10th year of the Austin City Limits festival. Thousands of Austinites and tourists flooded into Zilker Park last weekend for food, drink and, most of all, the sweet sound of music. C3 productions, the producers of this three-day event, thankfully worked out some of the kinks that plagued the festival in years past. In collaboration with Austin Parks and Recreation, C3 contributed to an irrigation system for Zilker, eliminating the “Dust Bowl” phenomenon two years ago. Adequate water filling stations, misters and an ingenious recycling system (fill a bag, get a free T-shirt) all contributed to pleasant and uplifting experience much needed by the folks in Central Texas recently ravaged by wildfires.

“Car Song” is the fourth tune we’ve heard off of Spank Rock’s upcoming album Everything Is Boring and Everyone Is a Fucking Liar. And like his previous pairings with Boys Noize (”Energy“) and Big Freedia (”Nasty“), the addition of Santigold to the tune proves that Spank Rock picked all the right collaborators for his second full-length, which is dropping Sept. 27th.

Ah, the ’90s! A time of economic surplus, when the Iraqi war was something we had won, and the 21st century held promise of a neverending cool thanks to hipster pioneers like The Beastie Boys and Spike Jonez. Over a decade later, and the future turned out not to be so bright, but that doesn’t mean these cool hunting veterans can’t still have a good time. So here we have the clip for “Don’t Play No Game That I Can’t Win,” Jonez’s first collaboration with MCA, Ad-Rock and Mike D since 1998’s “Root Down” video, and it’s a nostalgic winner.

Diplo and Switch have been hard at work on the next Major Lazer album, but the duo found time to remix the Beastie Boys collaboration with Santigold, “Don’t Play No Game That I Can’t Win.” The result is the sort of dancehall flava’d jammy jam one would obviously expect when all these faves arrive at the same party.
