Daft Punk gets Derezzed

After months of false leaks and anxious waiting the Tron: Legacy soundtrack is finally here. To no one's surprise it's pretty nuts. Even better, there's a video for the first single "Derezzed" and it's just all kinds of awesome. Combining visual elements from both of the Tron films, it seems distinct. It approximates the retrograde film the original was made with as well as filming parts in black in white and liberally applying color after words- much like The Strokes' "12:51".  From the new film it seems to use it's more modern sense of lighting and even use of angular and curved architecture and costumes. Also, it sounds fantastic. Head over to MTV.ca -if you go to a site outside Canada, you're likely to get the "not available in your region" line- parochialists!

Update: Youtube's got the clip now; check it out after the jump

Watch Snoop in the New Gorillaz Video

Gather 'round kids, Snoop needs your focus. One of the most engaging albeit slightly goofy tracks off Gorillaz' Plastic Beach is the Snoop led intro "Welcome to the World of the Plastic Beach". Prexif has the clip for the video just recorded for it. Honestly it's not much, with the characteristic animated trope strangely absent for this outing. But who doesn't love Snoop, and anything to get people listening to this track is worth a post. Check it out, and if you haven't listened to Plastic Beach yet, you're doing yourself a disservice.

Song of the Week: "The Girl and the Robot" by Robyn

Robyn spent a good chunk of her career with a bad rap from the 90s. But she went dark, retooled, re-armed, and came roaring back; this year alone she's released three LPs. Off of Body Talk Part 1 we have “The Girl and the Robot”. It's a sinister and industrialized kind of pop raucous. It seems lyrically oriented around your standard references of desire and paranoia. However, its layering on top of such a cleverly constructed yet evil in its overtones beat is pretty sharp. What do you think? Is it crap pop poetry or something more jarringly unique?
