June 12, 2012 – Last month, Rolling Stone reported that Corgan had written about 300 pages of a "spiritual memoir" with the hippie-dippy title God Is Everywhere, From Here to There. And while we figure he doesn't totally mean "spiritual" in the literal sense — he's said he will be addressing the child abuse he suffered — it's hard not to notice all the references to the world's many religions on Oceania, the Pumpkins' new album which is streaming on iTunes right now. In fact, the thing that sticks out right from the first lyric of this "album within an album" — other than the fact that, hey, they just posted one hour-long track with no song breaks (Lovesexy, much?) — is the varying spiritual allusions frontman Billy Corgan has snuck, or blatantly put, into many of the songs. We tracked down four such spiritual revelations (including one from the Book of Revelations!): 1.

June 12, 2012 – From the Daft Punkish lush keyboard beds to the helium-voiced, early-Kanye-esque backing vocals, the new song by electro-pop group Passion Pit — which will be found on their forthcoming sophomore album Gossamer, due July 24 — sounds in some ways like something that could have come out in the early aughts. But of course, it's frontman Michael Angelakos's pleading croon that sets it apart from the music that inspired it. It's a lot more upbeat than "Take a Walk," the first song the group released from the album, and, sticking true to the singer's previous claim that his vocals are more coherent this time, "Alright"'s dark lyrics stick out like a sore thumb when compared to the jubilation surrounding them.

June 12, 2012 – Earlier this year, neo soul singer D'Angelo performed his first concert since 2000 in Stockholm, but the reclusive singer's unannounced appearance during ?uestlove's superjam at last weekend's Bonnaroo Festival marked his homecoming. For his first U.S. show in over a decade, D sang covers of Sly Stone's "Babies Making Babies," Led Zeppelin's "What Is and What Should Never Be," the Time's "My Summertime Thang," the Beatles' "She Came In Through the Bathroom Window" with sometime P-Funk singer Kendra Foster, and more. And, as SPIN's Chris Martins reports, Questo ended the set by saying "You were here! You saw it!" with his own disbelief. Now, if you weren't there and you didn't see it, you can at least hear it by streaming the singer's full, 90-minute set here (thanks to Hypetrack via the Fader).

June 11, 2012 – What's teetering towards a less controversial finish: Pacquiao vs. Bradley or Coyne vs. Badu? After the Flaming Lips frontman and Twitter letch tweeted NSFW photos of a naked woman who turned out to be Erykah Badu's sister Nayrok, then released the video for their cover of Roberta Flack's "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" featuring yet more nudity, the soul singer unloaded on Coyne via an 800-word missive for not even showing her a rough cut. Coyne quickly responded by yanking the vid and issuing an apologetic statement (and even more apologetic Twitpic), but the story, of course, did not end there. "She is a controversial entity in the world," Coyne told BBC 6 Music of his collaborator. "So everything that she does has an element of her doing art.

June 11, 2012 – According to director Marsha Balaeva, the new video she has created for the song "Faraway Lightning" by indie rockers Moonface — one of Wolf Parade vocalist-keyboardist Spencer Krug's side projects — uses metaphors to illustrate the five stages of grief. "At the start of the journey the hunter meets the pangolin in the Underworld who is an effigy of him, curling up to escape the reality of the fall," she explained in a statement. "Spirit guides help the hunter along his path through realms of Earth and Heavens on his way to acceptance." The song comes from the album With Siinai: Heartbreaking Bravery, a collaboration between Krug and the Finnish group Siinai that they released earlier this year. And the experimental-leaning synths and tribal drums fit well with Balaeva's shadowy animation.

June 11, 2012 – If you enjoy reading tour dates while a grid moving in seemingly every direction at once wavers behind the text, then good news: you can receive Animal Collective's new tour dates the way the ever-trippy foursome want you to — via this video posted on their website. To support the release of their 10th LP, Centipede Hz, which is due September 4, the group will be embarking on a North American tour beginning that month. Regardless of what they play, though — considering the quirky band is known for playing songs they haven't recorded yet as well as the odd Panda Bear number — it'll be easy to get swept up in the colorful spectacles that swirl around them.

June 11, 2012 – Underground hip-hop crew Doomtree debuted their black-and-white noir video for "Beacon," a song off last year's No Kings LP, last week on MTVU. In the clip, MCs Dessa, P.O.S., Cecil Otter, and Sims rap in ’20sish garb in foggy, candlelit rooms and dingy industrial factories, following tubes and pipes down dark hallways in a way that recalls the disorienting industrial landscape of the Terry Gilliam flick Brazil. Dessa levitates off a bed, having a nightmare, and it comes to a head, literally, when she finds herself in an electric chair and death becomes some of the group members.Now the group is premiering a making-of video, which you can watch below, featuring much of the video's imagery in color.

June 11, 2012 – When we first offered up a download of the song "No Waves," by SoCal garage rockers FIDLAR (whose name, incidentally, stands for "Fuck It Dog, Life's a Risk"), we praised its lo-fi production. Now, in video form, the band, who is touring with the Hives this month, is wearing that description on their cut-off sleeves. The video pays homage to the VHS era, emanating greasy production values, as it flickers through home-shopping commercials, exercise videos and a talk show before launching into the campy ode to ’90s TV shows and homemade hangout vids. It stars Clouds and Candy fashion blogger Alice Baxley — sister of FIDLAR singer-guitarist Zac Carper and wife of the video's director Ryan Baxley — dressed in hippie-ish shades and a tie-dyed Led Zep shirt, lip-synching to the song as she trudges along Los Angeles sidewalks.

June 11, 2012 – "Closed, due to the Hives," reads the sign outside a shop at the beginning of the Swedish garage rockers' eye-popping new video for the song "Go Right Ahead," directed by Johan Toorell and John Nordqvist, who've previously done a video for the Knife. The song comes off their latest, Lex Hives, which came out last week, and it sounds a bit like Iggy and the Stooges covering Electric Light Orchestra's "Don't Bring Me Down," which, of course, means it's terribly catchy. Luckily, the black-and-white clip does right by the song as it depicts the band taking the Beatles' rooftop shtick to great new heights. As it unfolds, it reveals that the group, whose members are in tuxes and top hats, is being ushered through city streets, floating on a stage suspended from a zeppelin while pulled by ladies below (a situation befitting a band known for grand, hilariously egomaniacal statements).

June 11, 2012 – After inscrutable fan recordings of a new song called "Full Stop" emerged last week, Radiohead played it again in Chicago on Sunday, and some fans (very excited and chatty fans, you will note) were able to capture it properly. The track is padded with long keyboard notes and is one of the group's more down-tempo numbers, at least until Phil Selway kicks in with the drums, as Thom Yorke sings lyrics like "You really messed up this time." When they were done, the singer promised, "Like wine, it will better with age." The performance comes after the lyrics and chord changes to the song were sold as part of an eBay auction for over $900, along with other memorabilia discovered by the venue crew after the band's March 15 date in Glendale, Arizona. While Radiohead have been premiering many new songs on their current U.S.
