Pleasantly surprised by this. As soon as I saw Flea's name attached I was worried there'd be a slap-bass solo (or six). 
Just discovered this one by Rachel Zeffira (aka the member of Cat's Eyes who isn't Faris Badwan). There's a solo album coming in December. 
Author's note: the video includes flashing images.
^Don't even know Cat's Eyes. I like that tune though (Y)
New Bat For Lashes :Dinah:
Also available to download here [link]
^Woah. That might actually be my favourite song of the year so far. Had it on repeat for a good two hours now.
The Cat's Eyes album ended up being one of my favourites of 2011. I suspect they really only started off as Faris's sideline between Horrors albums, but the project seemed to take on a bit of a life of its own, and there's apparently going to be a follow-up somewhere down the line.
Once again, flashing images abound...
^(Y)
I'll have to look up the album.
New Blasko 
+ great new Gotye video
Cruel Summer leaked if anyone is interested. Also, look at the bomb as fuck cover:
^Cool cover. 
And speaking of cool covers, here's a very random (but very excellent) version of Seal and Adamski's 'Killer' by 2:54 - not 2:45, as the video's title seems to suggest. 
New Blasko
Sounds good. (Y)
Even more new Bat for Lashes...
^
She was just announced the other day as headlining next year's Laneway festival, which continues to rock my socks year after year. Alt-J will be there too
Tame Impala's new album is now streaming here too* --> [link] :Dinah:
*May or may not be region blocked
^Thanks Don. That link was blocked for me, but after your tip-off that it was streaming, it wasn't too hard to then find a UK-centric one. (Y)
Karen O is back! This one is from the soundtrack of Disney's forthcoming 'Frankenweenie' film.
New song/video from garage/rock/blues duo Deap Vally. Been on the bandwagon for a while now, but I think this may be their best yet. Play loud!
And from one band who don't seem to encourage good spelling to another. Quite like this one at the moment, from Palma Violets. Also play loud!
The first half of the new Bat For Lashes album is currently streaming, at the same place as the UK-friendly Tame Impala one was. Not sure if it's region-centric, but here's the link...

P.S. Sweet new Jack White vid. It's vaguely reminiscent of 'Ride' by The Vines, which I'd count amongst my all-time favourite music videos. 
Loving Bat For Lashes' and Lisa Mitchell's new albums right now
Latest Regina Spektor vid...
^What a beautiful video to go with such a beautiful song. My favourite from the record
Any Interpol fans out there? Here's the new solo tune from frontman Paul Banks.
Almost forgot, got another Rachel Zeffira song to post. I like this one even more than 'Break The Spell'.
^Really like that one
Sarah Blasko's album came out on Friday, and I've been listening to it non stop ever since. She never ceases to amaze me 
Video for the song I posted up there^
Sorry coming in this thread late. Have any of you hear of this song. I love it.
