Justin Timberlake

Back in April, M.I.A. scared the b'jaysus out of us with her ultra-violent, crazy controversial, super explicit video for "Born Free": a clip so extreme it earned a ban from YouTube. It was a hell of a post-baby comeback, and when her hyper-political album, /\/\ /\ Y /\, was released last month, it was clear that the London artist was edgier than ever.

So, after all the blood, guts and exploding bodies of "Born Free", we couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when we saw her latest promo - for "XXXO", a tale of lust in the digital age.

Swans and stars and flowers and unicorns, oh my:

The astounding and genre-defying /\/\ /\ Y /\ is available now, through Interscope Records. And it's sweet as hell...

Fashion is intrinsic with music - and hence, music festivals. So far in our 2010 music festival coverage, we've covered the fashion trends of SXSW and Lollapolooza...Now we close out our 2010 Outside Lands coverage (check out Saturday's coverage + Sunday's coverage) with the latest and greatest style sightings - running the gamut from bohemain chic (that still kept people warm; SF tends to be quite cold in August) to furry animal hats (which seemed to be all the craze). You'll see the freaks, geeks + fashionistas all made it out, and though OSL was less flamboyant than some of San Francisco's other music festivals, concert goers still knew how to strut their stuff. Check out some of the bold, beautiful, fierce + dynamic below!!

ABOVE: Chomeo kickin' it before their set on Sunday.

Saturday's Outside Lands Coverage: Exclusive Photos and Reviews!

Sunday's Outside Land Coverage: Exclusive Photos and Reviews!

A while back, we mentioned that we've had Marina and The Diamonds' tracks stuck in our head for a while now, ever since her single Hollywood shocked us due to her honest yet wry critique of the Hollywood dream - disguised by a perky pop beat. Therefore, when she came to the West Coast, we made sure to schedule a sit down interview with the quirky, introspective British singer Marina Diamandis of Marina and The Diamonds to unlock some of the mysteries surrounding the rising chanteuse in terms of her inspiration, her background, what feeds her music...etc... As expected, she surprised us - not just by her bright orange lipstick - but with her candid answers (i.e. she used to be afraid to sing in public?!?)

Enjoy.
