When President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama took for the floor for their first dance at the 2009 inaugural ball, Beyoncé was singing "At Last."

Elephant & Castle is David Reep, a Bay Area-based musician who specializes in free-floating, impressionistic electronica. His forthcoming full-length, Transitions (due March 13 via Plug Research), is a deliciously disorienting next step for Reep, and below, you can check out "En Memoria," a bit of jazz-glazed haze that features lead vocals from tUnE-yArDs mastermind Merril …

For the past 20 years, Swedish-born soul singer Theresa Andersson has called New Orleans her home. It's rubbed off on her.

The Avett Brothers stopped by Late Night With Jimmy Fallon yesterday to sing a song about mornings. Day-late Hulu viewers, this one's for us!

Elton John and his husband David Furnish were sore nominees and sore losers at last weekend's Golden Globe Awards. Before the show began, John pegged Madonna's odds of defeating him for Best Song at no "fucking chance."

Anyone attempting to illegally download a recently leaked album made a startling discovery today when they realized that MegaUpload, a file-sharing site that frequently traffics copywritten materials, was shut down by the Justice Department.

Ohio-born garage rockers the Heartless Bastards are set to release fourth album Arrow on Valentine's Day. Erika Wennerstrom's rough, biting, rye-whiskey flask of a voice, however, suggests less settling down than rambling on, a mood that advance track "Parted Ways" expands gloriously. The roadhouse-ready uptempo rocker has the feel of four grizzled vets jamming together …

Synth-pop trio Miike Snow's self-titled debut was one of SPIN's favorite albums of 2009, so expectations are high for the follow-up, Happy to You. First single "Paddling Out" is an auspicious preview, as Andrew Wyatt's vaguely androgynous, compellingly moody vocal cuts melodically through Swedish pop-genii Bloodshy & Avant's gleaming and ecstatic house-influenced production. The album …

Three months after we heard Bleached's latest song for the very first time, "Searching Through the Past" still sounds so good.

When Santi White released her 2008 debut album Santogold, which was then also the Brooklyn polyglot-pop singer-songwriter's stage name, her voice gave off a warmth and fragility that was miles way from the more self-consciously avant-garde M.I.A.'s similarly inclined global street-trotting.
