Happy Friday the 13th! Ahhhhhh!! Eminem is returning to Hollywood! AHHHHHHHH! He’s playing the lead role in a 3-D horror flick called Shady Talez! YaaaAAAA! Look how they spelled Tales!! Yes this is all true, and the above image is part of a 4-issue Marvel comic series that will accompany the movie. No word on a release date yet…

Dan Deacon HOSPITALIZED! Whoa. Apparently he performs with such ferocity that he totally fucked up his back and had to cancel the rest of his tour.

A post on the Facebook page for Deacon’s show at Clark University tomorrow night says, “DAN DEACON HAS POSTPONED THIS SHOW on 11/14/2009 DUE TO HOSPITALIZATION WITH ACUTE SCIATICA. THE SHOW WILL BE RESCHEDULED TO JANUARY.” – Pitchfork

Beanie Sigel ft. 50 Cent – I Go Off

The Beanie Sigel vs. Jay-Z feud just got ridiculous…Sigel went and recruited 50 Cent and they put together a shall-we-say, ‘gutter,’ diss track for Mr. Empire State himself. That snarling Beanie Sigel has a lot of anger towards jigga, I’m still not really sure why, but if jay doesn’t respond it’s gonna be pretty…anti-climactic. Especially after 50 calls him out at the end: “It’s your move.”

Is everyone excited for New Moon!?

Kid Cudi’s new single, “Pursuit of Happiness,” helped me fall in love with Ratatat all over again. In honor of funky-electro-beats across the globe, here’s an outrageously trippy new video from Ratatat called, “Falcon Jab” (are they pulling clips from Jason and the Argonauts? I’m no film geek but someone should figure that out):

The boys from Brooklyn just opened their online shop and you can browse the shwag here. You can also catch them on David Letterman THIS FRIDAY, 9/11 performing with Kid Cudi. And last but most definitely not least, they’ve had this FREE mixtape up for grabs for some time, featuring: Bun B, Biggie Smalls, Jay-Z, Slim Thug, Devin the Dude, Young Jeezy, T.I., Beanie Sigel, Pimp C, Ludacris, Young Buck, Saigon, Juvenile, Z-ro, Memphis Bleek, Kanye West +exclusive tracks from Despot and Beans… Yessss it’s Wednesday kids, get over that fucking hump.

Sucks for him but for you and I, it’s a lot of fun. Jay-Z was supposed to hand deliver his new album, The Blueprint 3, personally. I guess he’s got butter fingers because the INTERNET has the album in it’s possession a full 12 days before the actual release on 9/11/09. The internet herself has been speaking to me about this all day via twitter trends, blogs, forums, etc. We posted the tracklist here earlier if you want to check it out.

Obviously I’m not putting the songs up here, but the friendly folks over at Manolith offer some lovely advice on how to go about finding it:
“While you won’t find the leaked album here, you could, if you wanted, try Googling “megaupload” or “rapidshare” + “blueprint 3? and you’ll … oh nevermind.”

Next week on September 11th, 8 years from the anniversary of the attacks as well as the release of The Blueprint, Jay-Z will be putting on a 9/11 charity concert at MSG titled, “Answer The Call.” Proceeds (they’re hoping to raise about $750,000) will go to the New York Police and Fire Widows’ and Children’s Benefit Fund. TICKETS GO ON SALE SEPTEMBER 8TH for $50. That’s a hot ticket.

Check out the new Timbaland-produced single, Venus Vs. Mars:

quick follow up from TINT’s post this week on Jay-Z’s upcoming Blueprint 3 album. this song absolutely sucks, but i’ll watch anything with Rihanna in it.

Jay-Z’s Blueprint 3 drops on 9/11. How s(l)ick are the marketing folks at RocNation? Guarantee his album release will be the second thought on everyone’s minds this September, esp. in NY. “Ohh what a tragic anniversary of that horrible day…hey doesn’t Blueprint 3 drop today? Yayyy let’s go drown our sorrows to jigga man’s block rockin beats and pop-friendly hits!” I mean, I’m excited, but “Run This Town” is T-R-A-S-H. Oh yeah, and one of his 12 guest spots is from Luke Steele, of the powerpop-glam-duo Empire of the Sun. At least he gave up on Coldplay…

Tracklist:
01 What We Talkin’ About [ft. Luke Steele of Empire of the Sun]
02 Thank You
03 D.O.A. (Death of Auto-Tune)
04 Run This Town [ft. Kanye West and Rihanna]

Fuck yes. All Points West just got better, jigga man is replacing the Beastie Boys next Friday, July 31st. Big week for the retiree Mr. S. Carter, he’s promoting the upcoming Blueprint 3 and he just dropped a pop-friendly-as-hell new single, “Run This City” with Rihanna and Kanye, listen here. Shitty week for Adam Yauch of the Beastie Boys, he’s got cancer. Here’s the video of him announcing it, they look like your dad’s friends:

Music Monday you are oh-so-groovy.

This is our first edition so it will be brief, but sexy nonetheless. In the future we’ll delve a little deeper but for now just know that I recommend all of these albums, with a little extra love for Ocarina of Rhyme (but that doesn’t really count because it’s a gimmick using artists I already enjoy over music that was engrained into my brain when I was like…9 years old).

On with the music! I acquired these albums this past weekend with help from Pitchfork, Insound, eMusic and 8tracks.com. 3/4 of them have incredible titles:

Bat For Lashes – Two Suns (steadily growing on me and I don’t mind spending time with her…)

Daniel – Bat For Lashes
Cymbals Eat Guitars – Why There Are Mountains (#2 best selling album at Insound and eMusic this week)

And The Hazy Sea – Cymbals Eat Guitars

Bill Callahan – Sometimes I Wish We Were An Eagle (Awesome lyricist)

Eid Ma Clack Shaw – Bill Callahan

Team Teamwork – The Ocarina of Rhyme

This last one is a mix of classic rappers with classic beats from…Legend Of Zelda! Includes Jay-Z, Dre & Snoop, Aesop Rock, Clipse and more. You can listen to it ALL below:
