Every single person on the planet knows that Arrested Development is slated to return this weekend. No one will go to the beach, no one will spark up the BBQ, no one will even tune into the Indianapolis 500, for god sake. Instead, every single person on the planet will be gorging on the long awaited, fourth season of the show that never should have gone away, but did.

Pairing up with our friends at Sofar Sounds, we hosted a special, intimate gathering in the basement of Baeble HQ earlier this year, introducing a handful of bands to a roomful of newly converted fans. See, the way these Sofar shindigs work is partygoers have no idea what lies in store for them until the musicians are before them. In the case of Florida native Anthony Hall, we were introduced to an extremely candid musician who sees no need in covering up some of the life experiences that inspired his songs.

James Blake is a polarizing musician. Most ambitious artists blazing their own creative path, all but defining their own genre of music as they go, tend to be.

A film crew travels 400 kilometres north-east of Moscow to document ethnic dance traditions in Russia and make a surprising discovery.

Lonely Island does it again; Wack Wednesday. Bad rhymes have our wrists hurting; pack Bengay.

New York-based newcomers MS MR's don't achieve rapture on their debut album, but they're perfectly okay with that.

Listen to the mythical clan's latest single, "Better Days".

Does it piss you off?

And watch Fred Armisen present Artist of the Year award to Grimes.

Hear the British pop bad ass burn up with "I Want It That Way".

Listen to "Horizon".

Chicago-based Twin Peaks sounds like a frenzied Weezer played through the filter of 60s psych-garage - and we loved every minute of their Hype Hotel performance.

See a few snapshots from the Anchorman 2 set.

Once The Doors stepped onto the Sunset Strip with a ferocious mix of Jim Morrison's provocative croons and Ray Manzarek's hauntingly epic organs, the music industry, as well as the world, was given truth, and lost that truth yesterday.

Watch an amazing instructional video on how to assemble your own folk ensemble.

In a sea of "Oblivion" covers, this one stands tall.

Watch Berninger and the boys perform "Don't Swallow the Cap".

There are some places in the country where walking through life as a creative or musician might be more than a little taxing. Despite recent acts like Hundred Waters and not so recent punk idols Hot Water Music, Morningbell must get looked at as the weirdo kids in town, from time to time. Take this not so pleasant anecdote from the production of their new video for, "I Had A Dream". Dressed in white, set amongst a field of beautiful wild flowers, singer Travis Atria's beautiful dream of that time they blew up the moon was met by the occasional passing pickup truck, slowing down to harass the band in the middle of production.

Psych-grunge rockers Queens of the Stone Age show us they can still write the soundtrack to our nightmares with their gruesome fifteen-minute music video sharing the name of their forthcoming album, ...Like Cloackwork.

Watch Reggie Watts' YouTube Comedy Week submission: a Swedish Chef-Rick Astley mashup.

Hear drummer John Wicks' startling confessional about a Dirty Dancing big, bad wolf.

Watch the brilliant performance of "Black Skinheads" and "New Slaves".

Kid Rock gets drunk, yet Justin Bieber is the foolish one.

Meet the multi-chromatic synth pop/rock quartet whose multi-chromatic music gleams with West Coast charm.

Okay, we're pretty excited to see Sigur Ros' yellow cartoon counterparts in this Sunday's episode of The Simpsons, "The Saga of Carl Carlson." We decided to take the opportunity to mention a few of our favorite musical guest stars, some of whom contributed memorable material to the ever-growing Simpsons soundtrack.

Stream the entire lineup of performers including Passion Pit, Jim James, Tom Petty and more.

An amazing documentary about the first black punk band that was lost in a sea of Motown.

Well, that's one way to launch an album. Daft Punk threw a massive record release bash in the rural town of Wee Waa, Australia (population: 2000) in honor of their latest effort, Random Access Memories.

Modern Vampires Of The City is a bit boring and inextricably preachy.

Bonnaroo is a month away, but it's never too early to begin planning. We've handpicked 10 under-the-radar bands you won't want to miss on Friday.

At this point in their careers, it's clear that Daft Punk have nothing to lose.

Watch our last encounter with Dallas Green in a private show held in Brooklyn.

Minneapolis-based indie synth rock existentialists Solid Gold closed our 2012 Launch Pad party at Spike Hill with a transient dream of experimental and melancholic tunes off their sophomore record Eat Your Young. Watching their 30-minute set, like the Brooklyn audience they performed for back in October, you'll quickly become consumed and assuaged by the trickled effects and moody tones, which remain consistent throughout.

Last night we saw the mad dancing man downtown and we think you should join in our campaign to get him on TV.

Down Town Abbey has never been so riveting.

See inside the world of LCD Soundsystem, The Rapture, and more.

The historic July festival sold out before its lineup was even announced. Procrastinators fear not, as we have compiled 5 festivals to fill your folk voids.

Listen to the latest sample of their forthcoming full-length Desire Lines, "Fifth In Line To The Throne".

Patience - extreme patience, that is - is probably the best way to describe "Come On Progeny". The "newest" composition from Hungarian composer, music producer, and visual artist YONDERBOI (real name: Laszlo Fogarasi Jr.) dates back to as early as 2000.

With all these wacky dreams, we're beginning to think Michael Fitzpatrick may need a more certified shrink.

Watch a preview of our session with Dallas Greene, shot earlier today.

Hear the first single off The Dodos' recently announced, fifth studio album, Carrier.

No Courtney Cox necessary in their cover of the Bruce Springsteen classic.

Watch a 3-minute capture of The xx's Night + Day mini-fest in Lisbon, Portugal.

Watch a fan-made video of TV On The Radio performing new song, "Mercy".

We could give a damn about a racist goat, but a bad tip?! Come on!

Everybody knows that new music is on the way from The National, Vampire Weekend, and Daft Punk. Thing is, there's tons of stuff coming out in the second half of May and the entirety of June that nobody sees coming.

Celebrating the release of Modern Vampires of the City the boys took to Reddit to answer all their fans' questions. Here are the highlights.

Premiering the stop-motion diorama of "Heartstrings".

Things dad's never say: "Why don't you focus on the band?". Except, that's precisely the advice sometimes Pomplamoose member and current Kickerstarter darling Nataly Dawn's father exposed to her after graduation, even though one is not supposed to make a living at being a musician. But Nataly's been more than a little resourceful over the years, breaking through the endless fuzz of YouTube with her former band and crowdsourcing the funds to help start a magnificent solo career. I guess she's kind of like Amanda Palmer in that regard, except we like her...like a lot! And so should you. Find out a little more about her amazing story in this extended interview from our recent session with Nataly.

Listen to Kendrick Lamar's ripping verse on the True track redux.

Alabama-native-turned-Brooklynite Matthew Houck, known better by his stage name Phosphorescent, is a sensitive soul who knows how to rock out. It's no wonder we were thrilled to have him play Hype Machine's Hype Hotel at SXSW this year.

Beach Fossils ignite a fuse that goes off with an explosive outburst and a crippled drum kit in this chaotic live set captured at Hype Hotel in Austin.

We caught some great photos of this up-and-coming pop-minded indie rock quartet from Orange County.

The classic, swing for the fences, roots-rock thing has always been an elusive thing to nail in the studio. The stage, sure. There is something about a stack of amps, a boisterous audience, and a pure, only-for-the-moment kind of performance. In the studio it doesn't always operate that way though. Still, the Venice Beach outfit Terraplane Sun wanted to attempt to tap into their own live energy when recording the band's forthcoming EP (still untitled, due out via Trama2 Records).

Former viral songstress Nataly Dawn recently came by Baeble HQ for a delicate, acoustic session. Having consumed a steady diet of her frenetic Pomplamoose heroics via YouTube over the years, we weren't sure what to expect from a solo-ish effort. We were, however, well aware of her most recent songwriting chops via her debut album, How I Knew Her.

Of Jaime and Brienne and Monsters and Men: our personal soundtrack for the Game of Thrones cast continues!

Watch the absurd and amazing "It All Began With A Burst" music video.

Through a nifty bit of editing accomplished by combing through and combining hours of random VHS footage, San Francisco based artist, Dustin Krapes - aka HABITS - assures a total mental wig out for all who fire up the premiere of his new video for "HAACKSAW".

Did you hear that? That was the world simultaneously inserting their earbuds.

The electro duo finds a persistent heartbeat in The Dirty Projectors' soulful single.

Watch the latest Dream Sequence trailer featuring a raving James King.

Prior to seeing him live this evening at Bowery Ballroom, we caught up with the soulful Virginian.

And Josh Homme unintentionally summons a special guest from the grave.

Watch a small, colorful dance troupe on the outskirts of Moscow jig to Electric Guest's "This Head I Hold".

Things got weird this week.

Bonnaroo is just over a month away, but it's never too early to begin planning. We've handpicked 10 under-the-radar bands you won't want to miss on Thursday.

Hear the Wu-Tot Clan rap about school uniforms and two-wheeled vehicles in their new songs.

In our newest video premiere, Kazyak offers a journey in the name of a symbolic purging, complete with a surprise ending.

After nearly calling it quits, Rogue Wave is back with a new record. Read our interview with Zach Rogue and find out what led to their revitalization.

They transitioned from one retro era to another, but how will this affect their already faithful fan base?

We narrow down the list of the best free shows in New York City for the music fan with an empty wallet.

Screw The Great Gatsby, we've got our eyes set on a new, bloody Ryan Gosling beat down.

This Throwback Thursday, allow us to bring you into a lovely Friday transition with some modernized Motown grooves. We got the chance to witness The Tantrums firsthand back in Atlantic City circa 2010.

Two new songs from ...Like Clockwork, and what they say about the album as a whole.

We've learned the hard way that there can be too much of a good thing. Now that the new Vampire Weekend album has finally made its way to our ears in full, we kind of feel sick of it already.

Apparently, if they could, they would change their name to The Strokes.

Watch the LA Psychotropical group plow through "I Can Go" at our poolside paradise.

Christian metalcore band As I Lay Dying's Tim Lambesis was arrested today for conspiring with a hitman to murder his wife. That's funny and all, but the best part about this news is that it's brought the crazies out of their basements and into the comments sections.

Watch Seattle art-rockers Deep Sea Diver captivate Baeble's Launch Pad with their smart, spiky, and endlessly danceable sounds.

Watch Foals cool off by the Baeble bungalow pool with a slow burning rendition of their party anthem "My Number".

Hear about Michael Fitzpatrick's latest delusion, involving his cuddly kitten.

Celebratin' the first Wack Wednesday y'alls!

As I head up the stairs of Terminal 5, there is something unusual about the upper balcony. A giant cloud of tobacco smoke is perpetually pouring out of the temporary offices that have been set up by the management of Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, despite the signs that read "No Smoking in this area by any persons at ANY time". Security has told me to wait here.

If you were wondering what Andy Samberg has been up to since he left SNL (besides locking in Joanna Newsom and making a terrible Happy Madison flick), look no further than the newest project from The Lonely Island, entitled The Wack Album.

Check out some photos from Trevor Powers' traveling circus in Hoboken, New Jersey.

Get to know the Irish quartet in our concert capture from Hype Hotel.

Is Jeff afraid of the Northeast?!

A DJ, feature vocalist, and collaborator with the likes of Chairlift, Lykke Li, and 12th Planet, KLP (aka Kristy Lee Peters) is going solo, preparing to release her debut EP, Revolution. "Tropical" is the first sunny little gem to prick our ears and it's as equatorial as its title suggests.

These Scottish dudes are shirtless rock stars.

Punk's dead, and The Met Ball was the nail in its coffin.

Despite their many artistic missteps along the way, The Flaming Lips have truly carved out a unique sphere for their existence as a band over their expansive career that started all the way back in 1983. This kind of artistic freedom doesn't come easy and Wayne is finally enjoying the fruits of his labor. So why the hell does The Terror, the newest album from The Flaming Lips, sound so dystopian?

The Rolling Stones sound dreadful in this snippet of 50 and Counting's opening night in LA.

Watch the Icelandic folksters perform "Little Talks" and "Mountain Sound" on SNL.

We dig any band that can trace its' pedigree to a Wham! obsession, a move to Brooklyn, and a keytar tattoo. That's commitment, damnit! That tells you everything you need to know about Shaun Hettinger, the force behind Memoryy.

Scottish electronica aficionados CHVRCHES have transformed Brooklyn-based MS MR's "Hurricane" from a soft-spoken trip-hop meditation into a full-blown 80s party anthem, turning insecurity into flamboyance so that the refrain "Welcome to the inner workings of my mind" is not a reluctant admission but a joyous invitation.

Watch a cartoon-version of the New York singer-songwriter take a naked journey of self-reflection.

Local Natives' new video for "Bowery" is a sensual, prismatic vision featuring seven dancers engaged in a kind of manic maypole dance while the bands plays in shadow.

Hear a clip of "Break The Walls" as Michael Fitzpatrick describes his most recent nightmare.

Silence Yourself, the startlingly solid debut of all-female British post-punk band Savages, is dark, dirty, dissonant, and feels like the most important rock 'n' roll we've heard in a while.

Toro y Moi seduces Hype Hotel with an electrifying performance of "Say That", from his most recent album Anything in Return.

Watch the band's "Should've Gone to Bed" lyric video.

A lot happened this week. Catch up here or else your friends will make fun of you.

They have to be running out of ideas.

Meet a duo from Cork, Ireland who bring a sense of clarity to a calamity of genres.

And works at Pathmark.

Australia's Alpine discuss drinking box wine and making risque music videos.

The world's greatest toy + history's greatest rock icons = genius.

It's gooooood.

Guards spin through "Silver Lining"...a perfect fit for the serene, dreamy backdrop of our desert set sessions.

There are more conspiracy theories surrounding Daft Punk's Random Access Memories than the JFK assassination, and the people ravenously following the marketing madness are beginning to have a lot in common with the jerks that watch bigfoot hunters on TV (hint: THEY AREN'T GONNA FIND ONE!).

Watch The Heavy tear through a full set at 92Y back in 2010.

And download it for free, duh.

When "Home" was released in 2009, no one had heard of Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeros before. In fact, the 11-piece omniscient mix of musicians fell into place as Alex Ebert would call in artists for his demos, and thus the Magnetic Zeros were formed. Their first self-titled album captivated us with their wanderlust charisma and communal tranquility, sounding so effortless and universal, it feels dishonorable to categorize this bunch.

After misreading as "Bandanna Del Rey", I was pleasantly surprised with the potassium-rich result.

Watch the Dublin group perform their song off Awayland.

All done from his grandma's living room.

British pop starlet Charli XCX brings a ferociously feminine charisma to everything she touches, so her recent collaboration with bad-girl power-pop personality Marina and the Diamonds came as no surprise. The cleverly titled "Just Desserts" (exclusively sweet treats, or comeuppance that one justly deserves) is a dark pop anthem directed at a no-good ex whose bitter rumors have backfired. Here's hoping these two collaborate more often - the world needs their attitude.

It's May! Along with shorter shorts, icy drinks, fresh flowers, and better moods, this month is bringing a fresh wave of new music.

Thanks to The Airborne Toxic Event, we finally understand the mysticism and beauty of the desert.

The Canadian indie vets quell our Festival Fever with a calming session single.

Watch the crew of six Icelanders soak up some desert rays in our first Festival Fever Session single.

We all need a little bit of the rhythm in our lives.

What did you have for breakfast this morning? We had ourselves a 9 am serving of Plain White T's on a New York City rooftop.

A full-length Phoenix set, a gospel-backed Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and two airtight Vampire Weekend songs put us to bed happy.

The weather is finally getting nice again and with that change comes the need for some mellow music for a hot day.

During Michael Fitzpatrick's recent psych visit, he discusses a reoccurring nightmare we could all identify with.
