As previously reported, this year’s Sundance Film Festival will contain a documentary revolving around dance punk band LCD Soundsystem called Shut Up and Play the Hits (taken from a line shouted by Arcade Fire‘s Win Butler during the band’s final concert). The documentary, which is directed by Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace, details the band’s last few days before the final show last year in April, and will premiere January 22nd at the festival.

Listen: The Shins – Simple Song

It has been around 5 years since we last saw new material from indie rock/pop band The Shins. As The Shins get ready to release their long-awaited new album Port of Marrow in March, we can get a quick preview through a new featured track entitled “Simple Song”.

“Simple Song” introduces a heavier pace to their music as opposed to the much softer melodies that we experienced through songs like “Saint Simon” and “Australia”. Either way, I am psyched that The Shins are back to it and am loving the new twist to their content.

Check their new single and stand by until their album is released in March.

Listen: Jay-Z – “Glory (feat. B.I.C.)”

In commemoration of his and Beyoncé‘s new-born baby daughter, Jay-Z headed to the studio and recorded a touching new song titled “Glory” featuring production from The Neptunes and some soundclips of B.I.C. aka Blue Ivy Carter, the baby’s name.

MP3: Jay-Z – “Glory (feat. B.I.C.)”

If you can’t tell, Hov is an extremely proud father, calling Blue his “greatest creation” and “a younger, smarter, faster me.” It’s a beautiful tribute and to make things just a bit sweeter, Baby Blue already has her first feature credit! Our best wishes go out to Jay-Z and Beyonce.
