Sponsored By Samsung Exclusively for the MySpace Community
LOS ANGELES – May 15, 2008- MySpace, the world’s most popular social network in partnership with Samsung Mobile, today announced its 150th installment of the hugely popular Secret Show franchise, an original concert series that fuses the online and offline music experience and further connects fans and bands through intimate “friends only” performances.
This landmark 150th Secret Show will feature Grammy award winning artist and fan favorite Gnarls Barkley, who launched their US career two years ago with a MySpace Secret Show, their first live concert in the states.
The 150th Secret Show will take place in New York City on June 8th. The exact location is still a “secret” but fans can visit myspace.com/secretshows to learn more about the upcoming show.

DOWNLOAD: Hanne Hukkelberg- A Cheater's Armoury
The voice of an ingénue. Gives you tingles. Like when you first heard Feist or Sia or Emily Haines. Or Ella Fitzgerald. Etta James. Joan Baez. Or Judy Garland singing to the sky in Kansas. Though each unique, they all elevate you to some cloud nine where you breath quieter, let your shoulders slump, and all thoughts dissipate. It’s probably something Freud called lullabies-from-the-womb syndrome or something. We don’t know and we don't care. All we know is the Norwegian songstress Hanne Hukkelberg’s got it. Along with a cheeky jazzy style that giggles and whispers in your ear. And quirky instrumental accompaniments like typewriters, kitchen utensils, a cat purring. And she wears wierd hats. How demure. How divine.
DOWNLOAD: People In Planes- Pretty Buildings
Since 2006's As Far As The Eye Can See, we barely heard a whisper from the quirky Welsh rockers People In Planes. Now, four producers and 6 studios later, People In Planes are (finally) releasing a new, intricately thought-out album, Beyond The Horizon.
Initiating us to their new sound, the single "Pretty Buildings" is introspective, dark rock. If I didn't hate the word Emo and its blatant misuse so much- I'd say Gareth Jones' grilling lamentation brings out the 'emotive' side to 'emo'. Beause by the time the electric guitar and drums kick in, you really believe Gareth really is hurting like hell. It's a bit numbing, a bit embittering. and yet strangely carthartic.
If you're in the Jers, check em out at Maxwell's in Hoboken tonight.
Gnarls Barkley - The Odd Couple - Out Now and #1 on iTunes!
As you may have noticed, Gnarls Barkley, the Grammy-winning, genre-wrecking partnership of artist/producer Danger Mouse and soul sensation Cee-Lo, released their new album The Odd Couple a couple of weeks early. The album is #1 on iTunes, with an average rating of 4.5 out of 5 stars. People seem to like Gnarls Barkley even more than Danity Kane (iTunes #2)
"They felt the timing was right to just go for it," said an unnamed spokesman for the band. "With the shifting seasons, furtive romantic entanglements and fierce college basketball rivalries, the latter half of March can be confusing. People need to be soothed and inspired now."

DOWNLOAD: The Fashion- Like Knives
The Danish band The Fashion is really obsessed with knives. This might explain why their music also has a certain edge and urgency to it; it sounds a bit like the Bravery- if all The Bravery members were holding up knives and had endured a quick injection of more electro-punk beats. If you missed them this past week performing at the Fader Fort in Austin, check out the tracks below.
Pssstttt.....If you're in NY this week, they are performing with Cut Copy tonight as well as a free show at Club Midway on Tuesday, the 18th.
