Jay-Z's kind of everywhere these days. He's on the cover of XXL. He's in an awesome American Express commercial. He recently announced a special, one-off 9/11 benefit concert at Madison Square Garden, coinciding with the release of The Blueprint III, which just leaked to the internet, which Memphis Bleek blamed on Timbaland. Oh: and he's at the Grizzly Bear show in Williamsburg, with Beyonce. And supposedly, he got on stage with them. Did he? We! Have! Video!

Au Revoir Simone, Still Night, Still Light (Our Secret Record Company) Brooklyn’s answer to Clotho, Atropos and Lachesis replant their hauntingly personal, bittersweet roots on the follow-up to 2007’s creepy-sweet The Bird of Music. Their third album is a symphony of sterilized electronic sounds brought to life by an intimate encounter between these three Fates and their keyboards. Despite the odd bramble of blunt confrontation (“Trace a Line”), Au Revoir Simone skips through the wet grass of ethereal romanticism (“Tell Me”), proving that they are still alright and, yes, still feather-light. -- Garrett Pruter
