Snakes on a Video
Check out the Snakes on a Plane (Bring It) video by Cobra Starship featuring Samuel L. Jackson and Fall Out Boy bassist Pete Wentz. There really aren’t too many snakes featured in the video, (so you can’t really see the venom in their eyes firsthand) but there is a fair amount of seduction, airport security, and airport security being seduced. The Snakes on a Plane soundtrack will hit stores on the magical day of August 15th, which is three days before the movie is released. Stay tuned for a special USOUNDS review of the soundtrack!
Zero 7 Interview
Today, USOUNDS talks with Henry Binns of Zero 7
USOUNDS: Billy Ocean and I chill out to your new album, The Garden all the time. Billy Ocean is actually a water pipe and not the greatest of all time rhythm and blues tinged international pop performer of this century. Anyway, your singing debut is featured on The Garden. Zero 7 is notorious for having guest singers, but do you plan on singing more tracks yourself in the future?
Henry: I really don’t know. Singing on this one was a bit of a happy accident, so, we’ll see………what do you think? Should I? Am I any good?
USOUNDS: A million times, yes. You might even think about doing a duet cover of “Tonight, I Celebrate My Love for You” with Sia and then remixing the shit out of it. Now that I think about it, if Billy Ocean ever has an accident, Peabo Bryson would make a fantastic successor. The Garden seems a little more upbeat than your previous records. Anything you wanna tell us about the new album?

White Whale on Merge Records
White Whale’s debut record WWI will be released on Merge Records July 25th. Stream The Admiral, a track that might make you think of Arcade Fire. This band features ex-members of Butterglory, The Get Up Kids, and possibly a few powerful joints as they seem extremely serious about unlandlocked boundless cetacean-filled seas.

New Grandaddy Video
Ever wonder what Jason Lytle and his ex-band would look like animated? No? Well, at least it’s not claymation. Because claymation is dead to me. You just wanna, you just wanna, you just wanna watch “Elevate Myself” on windows or quicktime.
Jason Lytle Solo Tour Dates:
July 18 – Baltimore, MD – Sonar

Sebadoh III Reissued
If Chuck Norris and Sebadoh had a reissue-off, Chuck Norris would win because he is able to digest food and breakdown macro-molecules of matrix cells and regurgitate reiussues and new material for any band. Regardless, the remastered reissue of Sebadoh III is still very exciting. The bonus disc includes rare and unreleased tracks that were recorded around the time of III’s original sessions. III reissued will be available July 10th in Europe and August 8th in North America.
