Trent Reznor is not just an indie super hero, as the leader of Nine Inch Nails. He’s also not just a pioneer in the use of internet and social marketing to promote his music and communicating with his fan base. He is also an in demand soundtrack composer.

Following his latest succes as the soundtrack composer for The Social Network, he has now done the music for the remake of The Girl with Dragon Tattoo.

Here’s a cover version of Led Zeppelin’s Immigrant Song featuring Karen O from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.

Birdman is having a party with Nicki Minaj and Lil Wayne on this track, Y U Mad. It’s a melodramatic affair, with all 3 rappers delivering super tight verses on razor sharp beats. Check it out here.

It’s hard to ignore the Christmas vibe around, so here’s a little snowflake for you – She & Him indie super duo, which features Zooey Deschanel & M. Ward, performing a track from their Christmas album: A Very She & Him Christmas, on Ellen.

Requiem for a Dream, Pi, Black Swan, The Wrestler and now, Loutallica… yes, praised director Darren Aronofsky, has directed the  video for this track by the unlikely collaboration of Lou Reed and Metallica, from their misleading titles album, Lulu. So many legends in one item, we can’t contain ourselves!

The video is shot in black & white, well, mostly black, and features the happy bunch having a blast playing the track together. Get the full album on iMesh

The news of George Michael’s health caught us off guard, and we started thinking about all the great music he’s produced over the years; from his early days with Wham onwards. We are sending our prays and wishes to George Michael, his family and his fans. Hopefully we will mention him here again in happier circumstances.

Bon Iver, former Kanye West collaborator, has just released this new video clip for his most controversial track yet, Beth/Rest.  The track is lifted from his latest album, one of 2011 highlights without a doubt. On this track he sounds mostly like a forgotten Peter Gabriel track from his mid 80′s phase. What’s your opinion, do you like this minimalistic 80′s throwback?

We love Cee Lo! We seriously do. Everything he touches and does has a certain charm that we don’t see around a lot in today’s manufactured pop sphere.  So when he releases a new track from his latest album: The Lady Killer, we happily stand by him and shout: “Team Cee Lo!”

And if you haven’t done so yet, it’s never too late to grab the album from iMesh

Beyonce is getting all, like, Film Noir on us with this 50′s style black & white new video. Although it’s pretty safe to say that back in the 50′s, nobody really danced the way Beyonce does here, and that even if they did, they would have probably been hospitalized in a mental institution. We’ve come a long way, haven’t we?  Anyway, Dance For You is a new track that appears on the Deluxe edition of her latest album, 4, which just came out this week. Get it on iMesh.

Cam’ron is releasing a new album on December 16th and released this video: Bang Bang to promote the release.  There are some troubling images towards the end but it says “to be continued”, so we’re hoping for a happy ending…

We have missed Robin Thicke – the soulful crooner who seems to deserve greater success than he has enjoyed so far. Perhaps his new album Love After War will change all that and make Robin the superstar he should be.

Watch this new video for the title track, and immerse yourself in the lush production and Robin’s silky voice.
