In 2011, some humourless journalist misinterpreted a quip by Bad Religion singer Greg Graffin, and reported that the band's newly released record, True North, would be its last. The news was retweeted, reposted, and regurgitated all over the Internet.

But when the band took the stage for an intimate show at Toronto's Horseshoe Tavern recently, Bad Religion looked nothing like a band that was ready to pull the plug.

Leaning heavily on tracks from True North, its recently released 16th studio album, the So-Cal punks legends delivered a fierce set of up-tempo and hook-heavy punk rock for lucky contest winners and their plus ones.

The new James Blake single has leaked, and while typically austere, "e;Retrograde"e; is surprisingly soulful, marking a clear progression from Blake's earlier work. Wow. [YouTube]

Julio Bashmore and Hyetal have released a new Velour single, "e;Speedway,"e; which is a pretty welcome departure from Bashmore's recent tracks, but just as synth-heavy as their 2010 EP on Night Slugs. [SoundCloud]

Norwegian cosmic disco king Lindstrøm has remixed aspiring pop starlet Charli XCX's new track "e;You (Ha Ha Ha),"e; to an interesting result. Might be worth searching out the dub on this one. [Fact]
