New Song and Video From Jay-Z's American Gangster
Jay-Z fans, take heart: You'll have plenty to hold you over until the November release of Jay's new album, which is inspired by the upcoming movie American Gangster.
Yesterday, Fader debuted a new song from the project called "Roc Boys (and the Winner Is)," which you can listen to online. I don't love it as much as "Blue Magic," maybe becaause the brass-laden beats sound like something recycled off of Kingdom Come.
Song for the Winter Solstice
Today is the Winter Solstice, a.k.a. the shortest day of the year followed by the longest night. The looming darkness just makes me want to listen to some good, wintry music.
Song of the Day: Leon Redbone/Zooey Deschanel, "Baby It's Cold Outside"
A lot of you are probably braving the crowds and the cold to finish your holiday shopping this weekend, so here's a little musical pick-me-up to get you in the spirit of the season. Remember the scene in "Elf" where Zooey Deschanel is singing "Baby It's Cold Outside" in the shower? She also recorded the song for the "Elf" soundtrack as a duet with the legendary Leon Redbone; take a listen below.
Hot Track: The New Shins Single
If you didn't know the music of the Shins before, you probably became a fan after seeing Garden State. Remember when Natalie Portman gives Zach Braff the headphones, so he can listen to the song that will change his life? That's the Shins.

Buzz In: Which Song Covers Do You Like Better Than the Original?
Cover songs typically get a bad rap, but every once and a while a remake of a catchy track comes along that's worthy of its predecessor. (Just take Sinead O'Connor's version of Prince's "Nothing Compares 2 U," for instance).
Kelly Clarkson did her own renditions of The White Stripes's "Seven Nation Army" and Kings of Leon's "Use Somebody" in concert earlier this week, and her samplings weren't half bad.
New Music: Norah Jones's "Light as a Feather"
It's been seven years since Norah Jones burst onto the music scene with her debut album and mega-hit "Don't Know Why," and the talented chanteuse has continued to make beautiful, jazzy music (and one movie, which we'll just forget about) ever since.
Her latest album is The Fall, which comes out Nov. 17, and I'm already entranced by the soft, haunting "Light as a Feather."
Fergie's "Be Italian" From Nine — Nailed It or Not Impressed?
Rob Marshall's long anticipated movie musical Nine won't hit theaters until December, and I'm practically counting the minutes until I can see all the talented ladies (Nicole Kidman, Penelope Cruz, Marion Cotillard, the list goes on) singing and dancing with Daniel-Day Lewis. The songs are showstoppers for sure, and now you can have a taste of the upcoming soundtrack. Give a listen to Fergie singing "Be Italian," one of the show's biggest numbers, and tell me what you think — nailed it or not impressed?
90210 vs. Melrose Place: Which Was More Scandalous?
This week's CW drama block may have its share of cool guest stars like N.E.R.D. and Samantha Ronson, but, on the whole, it's a total mess. On the one hand, you've got the unstable girls of 90210 having emotional breakdowns at the drop of a hat; on the other, the Melrose Place residents are busy sneaking around to cover up their crimes.
The Conchords May Not Fly Again — Are You Bummed?
The Flight of the Conchords released a new album just a few weeks ago, but we may be seeing less of the goofy New Zealanders in the future. In a recent interview, Jemaine Clement hinted there might not be a third season of their HBO series. He said, "It very likely might not.
Music in the Movies: Sad Brad Smith's "Help Yourself"
Have you ever been in the middle of watching a movie when you hear a new song that you immediately fall in love with? This happens to me on a regular basis, and I often find myself rushing home to try to download the song before I forget the tune entirely. A few weeks ago I was lucky enough to attend an advance screening of Up in the Air, when one of those moments hit.
