  • Australian singer-songwriter Courtney Barnett has shared the video for her track "Nobody Really Cares If You Don't Wanna Go To The Party." The visual is comprised of clips from an impromptu pop-up show in London's Crowne Plaza. Her album Sometimes I Sit And Think, Sometimes I Just Sit is available now. [Stereogum]

  • On September 18, rock veterans Duran Duran will release their impressive 14th studio album Paper Gods. The album will features collaborations from Mark Ronson, Red Hot Chili Peppers' guitarist John Frusciante, and Janelle Monáe. Today, you can hear the wistful album track "What Are The Chances."
