HEALTH, the noise rockers from Los Angeles, composed the in-game score of the latest and much anticipated third installment of the Max Payne series. Rockstar Games just released ‘Tears’, a cut from the official release. The Max Payne 3 Soundtrack is set to be released next week.

Taking in several influences from Brazil, where the story takes place in the game, Health provides a unique blend of rock, powerful drums and electronic soundscapes that perfectly embodies the tone and the atmosphere of Max Payne 3.

A simple idea. Gather 23 music blogs for 23 summery tracks, compile and effortlessly mix each tune into a wonderful and refreshing summer mixtape. And our friends at dailybeatz have done just that (for the thrid year in a row).

We present you with one of the most eclectic hour long mixtapes you will ever hear. Hazy indie rock, sharp and clean bouncy pop, jazz, hip/hop to even some gritty electronic music. We all have a different definition of what a summer song is for us, and clearly so do all the 23 music blogs that participated this year.

Sigh, nothing surprises me anymore. Let’s review the facts here. It has been reported that Paris Hilton has gone Dutch dating dj/producer Afrojack (Seen here together at Ultra 2012). That, plus the fact that she does spin on her spare times for private party and friends makes this venture all the more obvious. Following the natural evolution of music and the explosion of dance music, DJ’s are the new rock stars and leave it to Paris Hilton to try to capitalize on a trend.
