The Danish duo The Raveonettes have hit the scene running with the hot single "Bang!" from their new record, In and Out of Control, released earlier this month. The retro-inspired duo has taken cues from rock gods Buddy Holly, The Velvet Underground and other diverse influencers to create their unique sound.

The Raveonettes 2007 LP Lust, Lust, Lust earned rave reviews for its innovative, ethereal guitar sounds interwoven with an infectious hybrid beat of New Wave, Punk and Pop. The album produced several popular songs, including “Dead Sound,” You Want The Candy,” “Aly, Walk With Me,” and “Blush” (along with the amazing B-side “Black-White”). Their follow-up record, the EP Sometimes They Drop By, explored a new dimension of their vintage stylings, combining the cinematic ambience of composers like Angelo Badalamenti, and guitar riffs also found in the work of current guitar aficionado M. Ward.

Though serious about their rocking, The Raveonettes know how to have a fabulous time! Check out their fun videos of “The Last Dance,” “Black / White,” “Dead Sound” and “Aly, Walk With Me.”

Kanye West on Fire


The Kanye West buzz is still burning up the internet. Since his shocking disruption of Taylor Swift's acceptance speech at Sunday's awards show, West has made several apologies to Ms. Swift, apparently not satiating the public’s interest in the story. Kanye first apologized via his Twitter account, followed by a televised apology on the new Jay Leno Show, plus a personal phone call made to Taylor Swift. You know you’re hot when the President weighs-in on the controversy!

For those of you catching-up on the brouhaha, Kanye West stormed the stage during Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech at the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday night. The reason for the disruption? Kanye wanted to proclaim his preference for Beyonce’s video, “Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It).” Always the lady, Swift politely stepped aside while Kanye West was heckled by the crowd. In a display of her trademark class, Beyonce took the opportunity, when she won Video Of The Year for “Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It),” to invite Taylor Swift on-stage to finish her speech.

After days of apologies, and Presidential off-the-cuff remarks, interest has piqued in the news of an upcoming Kanye West and Lady GaGa tour. Lady GaGa was responsible for some controversy of her own at Sunday’s wild show: during an elaborate dance sequence for the hit “Paparazzi,” Lady GaGa startled the crowd as her performance morphed into a horror movie-esque gore fest. The singer’s artistic production was interpreted by some as an homage to Michael Jackson’s "Thriller," and Madonna’s famous 1980’s MTV VMA performance of “Like A Virgin.”

Check out Thumbplay’s artist pages for Kanye West, Lady GaGa, Taylor Swift and Beyonce, and don’t miss other great MTV moments at our music video and MTV videos pages.

MTV Video Music Awards Full of Thrills



From Kanye West's disruption of Taylor Swift's acceptance speech, to Lady GaGa's shocking, horror-themed performance, the MTV Video Music Awards fulfilled its promise to be the most buzz-worthy awards show of the year. The night’s excitement, MC'd by Wale, was topped off with tons of memorable live performances from Beyonce, Pink, Pitbull, Muse, 3OH!3, The All-American Rejects, and an encore by Jay-Z and Alicia Keys.

Never one to shy away from controversy, Kanye West stormed the stage during Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech to proclaim his preference for Beyonce’s video, “Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It).” Swift, always the lady, politely stepped aside while Kanye West was heckled by the crowd. In a display of her trademark class, Beyonce took the opportunity, when she won Video Of The Year for “Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It),” to invite Taylor Swift on-stage to finish the speech Kanye cut short.

More excitement ensued when Lady GaGa appeared to be injured during her elaborate dance sequence for her hit “Paparazzi.” In fact, it was all part of the dramatic, gory performance which morphed into horror movie madness, interpreted by some as an homage to Michael Jackson’s "Thriller" and Madonna’s famous 1980’s MTV VMA performance of “Like A Virgin.”

Earlier in the evening, Madonna gave a heartfelt tribute to Michael Jackson , preceded by a special appearance from Janet Jackson. Janet’s performance was part of a larger tribute that included dance re-enactments of Michael’sThriller,” “Smooth Criminal” and “Bad” videos.

Other memorable live performances included Muse, with their new single “Uprising,” The All-American Rejects with " Gives You Hell,” Pitbull with his hit "I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho),” Taylor Swift singing “You Belong With Me,” Pink performing her hit “Sober” from a trapeze, and finally, the much-anticipated “Empire State Of Mind” duet with Jay-Z and Alicia Keys.

50 Cent Rumors

50 Cent has been trying to set the record straight lately, about the many relationship rumors surrounding him. Mr. Cent has been denying claims that there's nothing beyond a friendship between himself and singer Ciara. He's also denying ties linking him to Tracy Edmonds, Babyface's ex-wife. These accusations are similar to the rumors that were floating around Jay-Z and Beyonce, before they officially announced they were an item, a few years back.

Whatever the truth is, Mr. "I Get Money" is still macking hits from his latest album. "Still Will" with Akon is his latest smash... and there's plenty more coming.

West Coast Gangsta

The late 80's/early 90's gave birth to one of the most influential Rap genres "Gangsta Rap". Music from this time period has played a major role on influencing today’s artists.

O.G.'s like Ice-T, and N.W.A.'s Dr. Dre and Ice Cube were major players in kicking off the sound. Their protégé's Snoop Doggy Dogg and Tupac soon followed, bringing the genre to unimaginable heights.

Today, their influence can be found in artists from all different neighborhoods from The Game to 50 Cent, to Young Jeezy.

For some of the West Coast must-have's, here's a list of tones to check out: Dr. Dre's "Nuthin But A G Thang" & "Let Me Ride". Snoop Doggy Dogg's "Gin and Juice". Ice Cube's "It Was A Good Day". Tupac's "California Love". NWA's "Straight Outta Compton".
