Kid Cudi made a great album. This track was produced by Ratatat and features vocals from MGMT. Watch their performance on Letterman. I think it's the next single. Man on the Moon: The End of Day is in stores.

Jay-Z and Alicia Keys closed off the MTV VMA's last night with their powerful ode to the city that never sleeps, Empire State of Mind. I can't even remember the last time New York had an anthem like this.

If you haven't caught on to The xx yet, you're in for something special. The dreamy, tender pop compositions on this well-balanced debut has listeners and critics alike shouting hyperboles, and all I can do is concur.
