But after teasing the award show's most headscratchingest song-meld ("Umbrella" + "Golden Skans"), we knew this, at least, would be something worth a post. The reigning Mercury...

We can hear the car horns in Miami from here -- today's big news in the real world is Fidel Castro's resignation as Cuba's #1 Commie.

For the #1 slot, at least, the New Music Express's album list was easy to call; you don't think they'd let the world start to think it was the Mercury Prize that got Klaxons in headlines, do you? No sir,... CONTINUE READING NME THINKS KLAXONS ARE STILL MDMA-ZING»

Upset! The gambling men had Winehouse early, but those odds-dudes at Ladbrokes tend not to favor bloody, drugged-up skirmishes with boyfriends. Which meant the new favorite at the time of the ceremony was Bat For Lashes. But not even a... CONTINUE READING 2007 MERCURY PRIZE WINNER»

The "unhinged-and-dangerous" looking Klaxon admits they really have no sense for fashion, but seeing the Klaxkids frolic in Urban Outfitters is amusing. This must be what Americans look like when we go to London and walk down Oxford Street and... CONTINUE READING KLAXONS GO SHOPPING»

Poor NME. Just months after the rag coined a new genre for their present poster boys, said band is set to switch up its game. Klaxons are looking to branch out into the sweet rhythm & blues, and so naturally... CONTINUE READING KLAXONS TURN TO THE CHRONIC»

The face of NME's recent "new rave" obsession, Klaxons are a pill-popping trio trading in dark, freak dance rock who enjoy spray painting themselves fluoroscently and saying things like "MDMA-zing!" and "E-Tard." It's all meant to be an ironic take... CONTINUE READING KLAXONS VIDEO - "MAGICK"»
