This week’s album streams come in the form of Frankie Rose’s “Interstellar” and Air’s “Le Voyage Dans La Lune.”After a couple of spins of “Interstellar” (listen here), I can say that the album has caught my attention of the young year unlike any other. The ebb and flow of the release is the perfect tempo that perfectly captures the true essence of the vocals from Miss Frankie Rose. You can pick up “Interstellar” on 2/21 on via Slumberland.

Air has contributed the music to accompany the film, “Le Voyage Dans La Lune,” with contributions from Beach House vocalist, Victoria Legrand and Au Revoir Simone. The album was released today and you can listen to it in it’s entirety over here.

Madge played her halftime show at the Indianapolis home that Peyton Manning built for this year’s Super Bowl. The hype machine that has been working around the clock (see collabos with M.I.A. and Minaj) in support of the new release from the Material Girl to be titled, “MDNA,” reached it’s pinnacle last night with a medley of treasured hits from the iconic superstar. But it looks like M.I.A. single-handedly highjacked the halftime show last night with her gratuitous crotch shot and lewd gesture to America by flipping “us” the bird. Aside from that slight hiccup and Madonna moving like she was 53 years old, all things went well. LMFAO showed up for the 15 seconds of fame and Cee-Lo did his duty of cross-promoting “the Voice” on “Just Like a Prayer” utilizing his silky smooth baritone vocals. On the football front, Justin Tuck was robbed and the MVP was given to the less obvious choice, Eli Manning.

Bon Iver snubbed the Grammys but lent a hand as musical guest on SNL, however, Kristen Wiig stole the show with her portrayal of music scene pariah, Lana Del Rey. Speaking of Del Rey, the pouty songstress stated that she might never record another album based on the commercial success of her second debut album according to NME.

M83 and Wilco continue their campaigns in support of their latest albums from 2011 on Carson Daly and Austin City Limits respectively.

The Super Bowl’s status as the most elite sporting event in the US can only be rivaled by the marketing that’s involved that have non-sports fans watching the pigskin classic. This year’s game is a rematch that has two of the largest sports markets in the US with an even more interesting story line that has been brewing that involves the more popular and older sibling of the Giants QB, Peyton Manning and his ability to play or pass a physical. It’s long been speculated that the Colts plan on dumping Manning, which is on the wrong side of thirty and opt for the future and rally around the best QB prospect seen in nearly three decades. Fans in Indy are torn because of their loyalty for a certain future hall of famer and the future of the franchise that despite one abysmal season, the Colts have the ability to bounce back in stride and chalk up last year as a bad dream.

Music, very much like the wheel, is hard to reinvent. Garge rock/punk acts are a dime a dozen. When you find an act that harnesses the best of what the 70/80′s had to offer and churns out two minute minute gems that punch you in the gut, you have no other choice but to listen. The stench of sweat and smoke are present when listening to the latest album from Broncho titled, “Can’t Get Past the Lips,” hailing from Oklahoma. The best parts of Thin Lizzy, New York Dolls and the Dead Boys are cherry picked to evoke a time in music that makes me wish I had a Delorean with a flux capacitor. Listen to their album over at their Bandcamp page and catch them on tour if you live in Arkansas or Oklahoma.

In what appears to be the week of the M83 time-lapse, “Midnight City,” was used to soundtrack a time-lapse at Century Link Field in Seattle and “Outro” graced the surreal Yosemite National Park time-lapse. The video couldn’t have come at a better time with the Super Bowl looming around the corner. Thanks to Bodega Studios!

It would be an event out of this world if M83 were to have a gathering at Yosemite Park under the millions of stars up above. However, we’ll have to settle for a time-lapse of the majestic national treasure soundtracked by M83. The regal views are a collaboration between Sheldon Neill and Colin Delehanty that was sparked by mutual interest in for Vimeo and Yosemite National Park.You can learn more about Project Yosemite here.

Nada Surf’s latest video reminds us all of a simpler time .Like the most important part of your day was just getting ready for school and along the way maybe finding the girl of your dreams. No bills to pay and pure bliss. The guys also performed two cuts on Fallon last night, one of which comes from one of my all time favorite albums, “Let Go,” and one off of the recently released, “The Stars Are Indifferent To Astronomy.” Thanks to the Audio Perv for the video on “Waiting for Something.”

Tonight marks the first ever WINTER concert at Red Rocks. With that in mind, why wouldn’t it snow. Last night Atmosphere opened up for Brother Ali at the Ogden and tonight he will be headlining the Icelantic Winter with Common and despite the fierce elements, the show is SOLD OUT! Bundle up and wear your snow boots, because the ramps are a tad slick. Tonight’s event may have sent a precedent for future winter shows at Red Rocks and if you put on the show, people will come.

Ana Tijoux’s follow up to “1977″ is about to hit the streets next week (January 31) with her release, “La Bala,” via Nacional Records. If you’re unaware of her story, Tijoux’s family fled a Pinochet dictated Chile as political refugees to France to escape the horrors left behind. The second album is a more calculated approach to her whip-smart lyrics that won’t come at you like a punch on the mouth but more sideways than anything. The title track appears as if Tijoux’s smoking a cigarette blindfolded in front of a Chilean firing squad spitting her final battle cry. Academy Award winning producer, Jorge Drexler, brings a jazz-lounge quality to the album that was recorded in Tijoux’s native Chile and mastered in Motor City (Detroit). The album boasts collaborations with Solo Di Medina and Los Aldeanos, although I was hoping for a collabo with Mexican hip-hoppers, Control Machete. Listen to the album via NPR over here.
