Oasis Not Properly Engaged in Beef With Jay-Z



1. Oasis, "The Shock of the Lightning"

The first single from Oasis since the Internet debut of Hova's "Jockin' Jay-Z" has no rhymes, disses, or beat generation to verbalise of. Where's the beef cattle, Noel? [The Pop Cop]

2. Los Campesinos!, "How I Taught Myself to Scream"

What Los Campesinos! learned to scream on this unreleased track from the roger Huntington Sessions from their spring sacking was "We don't get tired, alone tired of you." We certainly aren't tired of them, which is a good thing, because they have another record advent out in October. [Stereogum]



3. Ice Cube feat. Young Jeezy, "I Got My Locs on"

Given Cube's recent proclivity for cheesy home comedies, we thought the title was "I Got My Crocs on" when we first saw it. Fortunately, this blunted modern track is more street than that, but only just scarcely. [Sit Down Stand Up]





4. Peter Bjorn and John, "Inland Empire"

PB&J no yearner care about the lester Willis Young folks on this data track from their new instrumental album, which trades attention-getting whistling and cute boy-girl vocals for screechy adolphe Sax and atmospherical piano. [Sound Bites]



5. Okkervil River, "Bruce Wayne Campbell Interviewed on the Roof of The Chelsea Hotel, 1979"

In this second track leaked from Okkervil River's approaching album (the companion to The Stage Names), isaac Bashevis Singer Will Sheff channels Bruce Wayne Campbell, the glam rocker wHO starred in Hair. No word even on whether Sheff will be seen in the altogether in Central Park this summertime. [Covert Curiosity] �Ehren Gresehover
