Because there’s no such thing as too many Freebie Fridays, here’s one more.

Rockers Peter Bjorn and John have teamed up with fellow Swedes Hell On Wheels on a limited-edition disc for Record Store Day this Saturday.

Inspired by The Chills, both bands have created their own songs called “The Chills” for this awesome split 7″…and we’ve got one up for grabs.

To enter, tell us your favorite PB&J song (and why you love it!) in the comments.

Warning: you might have to fight us for it…

It’s crazy to think that the (often shirtless) musician turns 65 this weekend.

While we’re sure he’ll celebrate in typical rockstar fashion, here’s how we’re ringing in The Stooges frontman’s big day….

Kick off your weekend right with the new video from the Zambri sisters….and watch the entire clip, because things get really lovey dovey at the end.

Want more Zambri? Check out the SXSW Storywheel the girls made for us!

If Family of the Year’s newest video doesn’t make you smile, then we don’t know what will… (Come on, there are dogs!)

Get happy with the L.A. band above.

The world has been waiting for a Jack White solo album pretty much since he started making music.

And now that time is nearly here.

Blunderbuss, White’s first full-length solo album, drops April 24th, but you can stream the whole thing right now on iTunes.

We gave it a listen, and spoiler alert- it totally rocks.

While White has lent his insane guitar skills to different sounds in The White Stripes, The Raconteurs, and The Dead Weather, with Blunderbuss he finally gets to play his favorite heavy blues rock just the way he likes it: long solos, unadulterated instruments, and a voice that can both belt and croon.

Give it a run through on iTunes, and get ready for the release in one week!

First the company bought Instagram for 1 billion dollars (in cash, natch).

Starting today, Facebook is teaming up with streaming music services like Spotify and MOG on a “Listen” tab.

It’s kind of like the different artist pages, although now we can breeze through full albums without having to click through tons of windows.

Facebook, we’re never going to be able to quit you….

It’s still too early to call the ultimate song of the summer.

But if you’re on the lookout for a new spring anthem, then meet Jessie Ware.

The South London songstress creates drifting, breezy tracks that sound like a spacey mashup of pop-meets-R&B soulful goodness.

But even with this lighter-than-air sound, the melodies are still grounded by heavy baselines and flickering synths.

You’ll have to wait to hear her debut album- she’s in the middle of recording with producers Julio Bashmore and Dave Okumu- but for now, get your spring soundtrack on lock with Jessie Ware’s new single 100% here.

Natalie Portman and Johnny Depp team up for Paul McCartney’s intimate musical portrait in “My Valentine.”

Watch it above and let us know what you think!

Our digital director, Faran Krentcil, was front row at the Coachella mainstage, and all she brought us was this lousy blog post…

We’ve had The Temper Trap’s new track “Need Your Love” on repeat for what seems like forever.

But now the Australian indie rockers have dropped the song’s music video, we have a whole new reason to obsess.

So what are you waiting for? Watch it above!
