Summer’s officially over, kids! Here’s what you missed while you were spending the weekend donning your best whites and partying it up in the Hamptons with Puffy and the Hiltons.
Los Angeles noise rockers HEALTH take on Pictureplane‘s “Goth Star”
Videos by VICE
The caps lock enthusiasts don’t deviate much from their ex-tourmate’s original (which itself samples and skews the riff from Fleetwood Mac’s “Seven Wonders”), but it seems to us that HEALTH believes in the old adage: If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it (but DO cover it and feed it to the interwebs).
Toro Y Moi releases new song “All Alone”
No matter how many times we listen to his music, we have no idea how a guy named Chazwick Bundick from North Carolina can make tracks so…smooooooooooth.

Snag the jam on his site in exchange for your email addy.
Bodi Bill baffle and entice with their new music video
We’re not quite sure if this new video is supposed to answer or inspire the question, but this summery clip for Bodi Bill’s “What?” is so lovely, we’ve almost forgotten that it’s pouring raing and it’s the first day back after a long weekend and fall is coming and oh no then the winter and the freezing cold and oh dear god not another snowpocalypse flashback…..

“I want to buy you something, but I don’t have any money.” Have truer words ever been spoken? Perhaps, but time equals money, and we don’t have the time to figure that out right now. Chad Valley gives “Money”, the first single off the Drums‘ new sophomore album, Portamento, a tropical twist with a remix that makes unemployment, funemployment.
