Is This It?

I'm not going to lie; as popular as this blog has gotten, I really need some help keeping it together. I've had absolutely no time to continue writing recently and have been posting all normal Whipping Post content on my Facebook page (Josh DeNutte). I'll continue creating Whipping Post Mixes, currently streaming Episode 10 on 8tracks.com, and I'll keep plugging things through my Facebook (Facebook is the new Tumblr), but as for creating full posts with somewhat detailed content, I just don't have the time right now.

If you have a passion for discovering and writing about new music, or even just want to post new videos and songs whenever you find them, please reach out to me. I would love to have someone help me out with keeping this blog going. Find me on Facebook, 8tracks (The Whipping Post), or Twitter @twpjosh

VIDEO: The Decemberists - "This Is Why We Fight"

Off their latest album, The King Is Dead. This video looks like a trailer for a film I would see in a heartbeat.

VIDEO: Frank Ocean - "Songs For Women"

This album will no doubt be in my top 10 come December.

VIDEO: The Lonely Island - "We're Back!"

The Lonely Island are set to do it again. Turtleneck & Chain drops May 10th and will feature spots from Akon, Rihanna, Justin Timberlake, and Nicki Minaj just to name a few.

Hear the New Justice Song "Civilization" (Now High Quality)

I was waiting to post this new song from Justice because 1. it was just 30 seconds of an Adidas commercial, 2. it became a low quality radio rip, and 3. I don't want to post 4 times about one song just like you don't want to listen to all the shitty versions before the high quality one. The track surfaced on iTunes France recently, so here it is, the new Justice song, "Civilization" and it doesn't disappoint!

NEW: YACHT - "Dystopia (The Earth Is On Fire)"

DFA, the label responsible for acts like Hot Chip, LCD Soundsystem, and YACHT, have begun producing a web series called White Sessions, where someone plays a new track from one of the label's artists on a turntable in their office. The latest White Out Session features a new track from YACHT. It's nothing different from the duo, just good classic dance-rock at it's best. YACHT will be in D.C. April 25th at Black Cat.

NEW: Yonas - "Mindless" and "Fall Back"

I'm so happy to see Cause (oops!), Yonas finally getting some much deserved love on the web. I fell in love when I heard his song "More Than Music" back in '06 and I've been following the guy ever since. Here are a couple new tracks that Yonas put out this month. Look for his new album, The Proven Theory late April.

Yonas - "Mindless"


Yonas - "Fall Back"

VIDEO: TV On The Radio - "Will Do"

TV On The Radio give us a video for "Will Do", the first song we were treated to when we heard about their upcoming album Nine Types Of Light. It's a sad, sci-fi influenced video, where the band use virtual reality as a substitute for physical love and pleasure. So far, I'm a big fan of both the tracks TV On The Radio have released for Nine Types Of Light.

NEW: Cults - "You Know What I Mean"

Ummm...holy shit. I just fell in love with the new Cults song and I can't stop playing it. The production on this is incredible. From a 50's girl group vibe to a booming hook that grips you and refuses to let you go, this is like nothing we've heard from the duo. While "Go Outside" may always remain my favorite track from Cults, it certainly didn't hit me like a ton of bricks, the way "You Know What I Mean" just did. This album is going to be incredible. Head over to their Soundcloud page to stream the song NOW. Catch Cults this Friday at Rock & Roll Hotel.

Odd Future Storm Off The Billboard SXSW Showcase Stage

After making nearly a half-dozen appearances through the SXSW week that kept everyone talking, Odd Future took the stage at Buffalo Billiards and barely made it through three songs before cursing out the crowd, the venue, and yes, even Billboard, and then finally stormed offstage. From the moment the group started its set with "Sandwitches," things weren't quite going as planned.



Read the details over at Billboard.

Sleigh Bells Killed It At The Woodie Awards

Got my tickets for the Sleigh Bells and CSS show at 9:30 Club on May 7th. Going to be epic, no big deal.



Odd Future wrapped up the Woodie Awards show with a performance of "Sandwitches" involving crowd surfing, a midget, and some creepy mascots:

Foo Fighters Could Play A Concert In Your Garage

On April 12, Foo Fighters will be releasing their highly anticipated seventh studio album Wasting Light. The album was recorded entirely in Dave Grohl's garage, so, in cooperation with Blackberry, the band is holding a contest for the biggest Foo Fighters fans to win a chance to host a live Foo Fighters performance in their own garage on eight dates throughout the month of April. The performances will only take place on eight dates in eight cities so fans living in New York, Washington, D.C., Toronto, Chicago, Minneapolis, Denver, Dallas or Seattle can enter the contest here. All you have to do is explain, in 25 words or less, why you deserve to win and send a picture of your garage. Listeners of local radio stations can also win a chance to attend the garage show in their town. So enter the contest and hopefully you get the chance to have the Foo Fighters playing a show in your garage.

Zack Galifianakis Is Hilarious on SNL

The one time SNL does something funny and people blow it out of proportion and it becomes controversial. Hulu edited Zack Galifianakis' opening monologue but you can find it on Youtube and below:
