Album Review:: Jay-Z - "American Gangster"
Jay-Z accomplishes what most of his contemporaries are unable to, create a captivating and entertaining listening experience, which purveys depth and substance via witty and clever wordplay (schememag)
Whenever a legend puts out a new record, his reputation is on the line. When several of your previous nine albums are leagues ahead of other artists’ “Greatest Hits” collections, it’s tough to recreate that magic. Unfortunately, Jay-Z shows signs of falling off in this tenth installment. (CornellSun)
Overall, the album plays out like a good movie, overly slick at times, but generally, a riveting experience....At this rate, a sequel might be in order. (prettymuchamazing)
(JayZ)..unquestionably delivers the goods — showcasing deft metaphors about his own ghetto ascension and an uncanny ear for dramatic sonic backdrops. (MSN)
If Jay can keep putting out records like "American Gangster" no one will be calling for his re-retirement anytime soon, so here's to hoping we don't have to wait for an American Gangster movie sequel to get another "American Gangster" like album. (Gooseninja)
There is no definitive radio smash hit present but that’s what keeps the project fresh. Jay goes from running the block to cornering the market without forcing the issue, leaving no need to question his G file. (AllHipHop)
American Gangster is better than 90% of the albums that were released this year in 2007 (KevinNottingham)
4 out of 5 stars (RollingStone)

Album Reviews:: Angels & Airwaves "I-Empire"
4 out of 5 (AlbumProject)
2.5 stars out of 5 (Alternative Press)
This is a great album, and DeLonge has finally proven that following his muse and developing this new style was worth the risk. Hats off to him. (A Drift)
3.5 out of 5 (IndieLondon)
3.5 out of 5
I-Empire is full of big, faintly Eighties-sounding chiming choruses and arms-outstretched melodies (RollingStone)
Musically, the band demonstrates a better grip on dynamics, thanks partly to the locked-in rhythm section of drummer Adam "Atom" Willard and new bassist Matt Wachter. (Billboard.com)

Les Savy Fav PSA - A Malaria Awareness Campaign
In the race to become indie rock’s funniest band, Brooklyn’s Les Savy Fav has pretty much lapped the competition by now. First there was the Randall’s Island spoof. Then the failed AOL HR interview. Now Tim Harrington has teamed with the folks at VH1 Best Week Ever and Nothing But Nets – a Malaria awareness campaign (no, really!) – to produce the most hilarious clip yet. Here, Harrington is dressed in a ridiculous mosquito costume, buzzing around Manhattan, harassing tourists and office workers. The moral of the story: they might just be a nuisance in America, but plenty of mosquitoes much more threatening than Harrington are roaming around Africa. Learn:

My Bloody Valentine: Officially Reuniting
From the Daily Swarm
"Kevin Shields, the mercurial and elusive leader of My Bloody Valentine, confirmed that the legendary band has reunited in the studio for the first time since 1995, recorded new material, and that an album release is forthcoming, possibly as soon as this year. In an exclusive interview set to air Monday, Nov. 12 on VBS.tv, Shields speaks at length with Ian Svenonious on Soft Focus about his career and art, including some tantalizing hints about the next phase of My Bloody Valentine."
Unreleased Springsteen, Dylan, Hold Steady Amassed on Charity Album, Out Now
Continuing its pledge to serving others, Hard Rock is proud to announce the launch of SERVE2 – a benefit compilation, digitally available exclusively at iTunes, featuring previously unreleased tracks from some of music’s most influential artists, including Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan, Jackson Browne, Joss Stone, KT Tunstall and more – to benefit WHY (World Hunger Year), a nonprofit organization that strives to fight against hunger and poverty in America and around the world. All net proceeds from SERVE2 will be donated directly towards Artists Against Hunger & Poverty (AAHP), a special artist-directed program of WHY – for which, Hard Rock has proudly raised more than $1 million to date.
Joining Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan and others in the fight against hunger and poverty, SERVE2 features never-before-released tracks by a unique blend of major multi-platinum, Grammy Award-winning and acclaimed recording artists like The Hold Steady, Mat Kearney, Brandi Carlile and more. The songs are new, classic, electric or acoustic, and reflect the generosity of the artists that donated them to the project on behalf of serving those in need.
