The eighth edition of Rock en Seine kicks off this afternoon in Domain National De Saint Cloud right at the outskirts of Paris, France.

The festival brings together approximately fifty international musical artists, spread across three stages, for three days in a row. Deadmaus, Band of Horses, Foals, The Kooks, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Kele, French Cowboy, Cypress Hill and Blink 182 are some of tonight’s headliners. Tomorrow, spectators will be able to dance before the likes of Chew Lips, Two Door Cinema Club, LCD Soundsystem, Stereophonics, and Massive Attack, before heading home to rest up for Sunday’s concluding shows wth Crystal Castles (always a pleasure), Eel, Beirut, The Ting Tings and one of our all-time favorites, Canadian band Arcada Fire.

Rock en Seine devotees will celebrate this year’s round with one of the first artists to play at the festival’s first edition back in 1993, Massive Attack. We’ve seen this celebration expand from one stage with attendees rounding 22,000 spectators, to a full-grown tri-stage event with nearly twice as many concert-goers.

For those of you who want to see off the summer by checking out a varied lineup of today’s leading rock bands, doing it beneath Parisian clouds isn’t such a bad idea. http://www.rockenseine.com/en/

Accompanying the release of the band's second album Sugar (available as of August 24th), their new video for "Run From The Gun" premiered on The Huffington Post yesterday. The video features historical clips which are edited and organized by Scott Carney of Wax Fang to go along with the track's political commentary.

Antony and the Johnsons just released the video for “Thank You For Your Love," which is comprised of Super 8 footage that Antony shot when he first arrived to New York City as a teenager in the early 1990s. Certainly NYC was quite a different place twenty years ago!

The song is the title-track of Antony’s forthcoming EP that is being released in the UK and Europe by Rough Trade on August 23, and on August 24 in North America by Secretly Canadian. It's also the lead single from Antony’s next album, Swanlights, due out October 11 in the UK and Europe and October 12 in North America. The album is now available for pre-orders at www.swanlights.com.

Joe Abajian, the owner and president of Fat Beats sadly announced that after sixteen years of business, the last two stores in New York and Los Angeles will be closing their doors for good.

Abajian stated: “This is the start of a new era in Fat Beats. We're adapting to meet the needs of our demographic by revamping and improving our existing systems. While our website, which stocks everything available in our retail stores, continues to do very well, we're still exploring our options for alternate retail locations in the future. We're proud of our legacy and will continue to re-invent ourselves.”

Several parties will be held in NY and LA in honor of the hip-hop record store, where records will be available for purchase as discounted prices. Records can still be purchased from Fat Beats at Fatbeats.com.

British ambient/electronica band The Orb will release a new album this October titled Metallic Spheres which will feature Pink Floyd vocalist/guitarist David Gilmour's work. Gilmour, The Orb's Alex Paterson, and producer Martin "Youth" Glover had been in the studio together earlier this year, and went on to create the album based on their jam session together.

Metallic Spheres will be released digitally as well as in standard format. The deluxe-edition CD will include the album recorded in 3D60, which is a new, three-dimensional sound format.

Artist royalties from the album will go towards helping Gary McKinnon, the British hacker who is facing potential time at Guantanamo Bay for hacking into the U.S. military computer system around the time of the September 11th attacks. McKinnon suffers from Aspergers Syndrome and has plead guilty, though he states the hacking was for the purpose of proving the existence of aliens.
