Wiz Khalifa's single "Work Hard, Play Hard" has its music video companion, and it features the rappers' mantra taken quite literally, with ballers, hard laborers and even ballerinas setting to work, then landing at his pad to play. The track -- culled ahead of Wiz' Aug. 28 drop of albu...http://www.hitfix.com/blogs/immaculate-noise

Watch: Gossip 'Moves' back in time for 'Right Direction' video

Thu, 24 May 2012 18:50:00 GMT

I love Beth Ditto and Gossip, but why did the band warp back to the 1990s No Doubt Hey Day to shoot their music video for "Move in the Right Direction?" What happened to the usually impeccable wardrobe? Why do the gay men look so sad and Ditto so happy? What's with the watered down flop...http://www.hitfix.com/blogs/immaculate-noise

Song Of The Day: Chris Price's 'That's Your Boyfriend'

Wed, 23 May 2012 00:17:00 GMT

Chris Price's iPhone is essential -- not essential in the "I'd be lost if I broke my iPhone" sort of way, but the songwriter's latest creative output was wholly reliant on it. L.A.-based Price recorded his entire solo debut "Homesick" on his phone, using the app Little Code S...http://www.hitfix.com/blogs/immaculate-noise

Interview: John Lydon on PiL, Sex Pistols, Green Day and the Olympics

Tue, 22 May 2012 14:00:00 GMT

John Lydon -- aka Johnny Rotten -- speaks in stanzas, with grand pauses. He’d finish a thought, I’d give him a few seconds, I’d start to speak but then he’d start in on another thought on the same subject, sometimes in third person. He was full of sharp declarations and ax...http://www.hitfix.com/blogs/immaculate-noise

Watch: Hot Chip, Peter Serafinowicz and Reggie Watts combine for 'Night and Day'

Mon, 21 May 2012 23:56:00 GMT

If the Hot Chip video for banger "Night and Day" were a movie, I'd watch the hell out of it. The clip was directed by actor Peter Serafinowicz and utilizes polar-opposite recruits Reggie Watts and supermodel Lara Stone to man the spaceship. Their combination is well til it ends well.

Exclusive Premiere: Motion City Soundtrack's 'Timelines' is ready to 'Go'

Mon, 21 May 2012 19:00:00 GMT

Motion City Soundtrack's new song "Timelines" may be one of their most personal songs, according to Justin Pierre. Its refrain "It's not a matter of time, it's just a matter of timing" came from the frontman's father, a concept he then filled in with some very intimate experi...http://www.hitfix.com/blogs/immaculate-noise
