MUSIC: Come A Little Closer by Cage The Elephant

Cage The Elephant has released the first single from their new album, titled 'Come A Little Closer". It's pretty damn good in my opinion. The album, Melophobia, will be release on RCA in the fall.

NEWS/VIDEO: Daft Punk on Colbert Report....NOT!

Like many people, I was watching the Colbert Report because I was looking forward to Daft Punk playing 'Get Lucky' on the show. Stephen then came on and said that Daft Punk had been cancelled because they couldn't appear on TV before the VMAs (which means they're at least playing that at least!) for some legal reasons. In consolation we were offered an amazing video of Stephen dancing to 'Get Lucky' with Jeff Bridges, Hugh Laurie, Matt Damon, John Stewart and others and a fun performance of Robin Thicke's 'Blurred Lines'.  Those might not add up to a performance from the French duo, but it ended up being a fun show. I'll update this with video when it's been uploaded. UPDATE: We have video! Click here for the full episode, which I recommend doing.
