Here we go, East Coasters! The lineup for the summer festival has just been announced, including loads of MuuMuse favorites…MGMT, Lykke Li, St. Vincent, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, MSTRKRFT and more!

Be sure to grab your tickets on Friday!

Here we have Kelly Rowland and David Guetta, live at the Ultra Music Festival in Miami on Friday, performing could be (and very well should be) the definitive club anthem of the summer, “When Love Takes Over.”

HOW MASSIVE IS THAT BEAT AFTER THE CHORUS GIVES OUT?!

Major props to Kelly for bringing the house down with that performance–I hereby proclaim this to be her white gloved slap-slap to the face of Miss Sasha Fierce.

Your move, Miss Diva…your move.

If you’ve not kept abreast (or rather atummy) of the situation, Amanda Palmer and her label, Roadrunner Records, aren’t playing nice anymore.

Ever since executives made a point to edit shots of Palmer’s stomach out of the music video for “Leeds United” for being “too fat” (see video here), the artist has made a few not-so-subtle requests to part ways with the company–the above being one of them.

Foolish girl…has she no respect for Nickelback?

While Madonna‘s off recording songs for her upcoming Greatest Hits and stealing babies from Malawi, two of her producers have been hard at work with their own solo projects.

Mirwais, producer responsible for a majority of both Music and American Life (as well as a few Confessions tracks), has been involved in a new collaboration project with Arabic singer, Yasmine Hamdan–a collaboration now known simply as Y.A.S..

The goal for the grouping, along with the desire to create some killer electro-pop, is to reconstruct society’s association of “Arab” in Western culture. As the producer said in a French interview with Le Courrier:

“The idea is that today, in Western culture, we hear about Arabs everyday – in a bad way, because of terrorism, etc – but we lack of cultural representations coming from those countries that could mix with the western culture…”

As of now, the duo’s album, Arabology, is available in digital form–in France. Though I’ve not been able to find much regarding the album, I did happen upon a Spanish review of the album. My favorite part? Their description of the fourth track, “Oloulou”: “Los beats del estribillo son enfermizos.” (“The beats of the refrain are sick.”) Massively infectious beats and super-slick vocal delivery, as though Yelle took down the BPM and got a little experimental. Look (hope?) for this album to get an international release sometime later this year.

Over in England, William Orbit, responsible for Lady M’s impeccable Ray Of Light, as well as some of Music) is putting the final touch on his tenth solo album, My Oracle Lives Uptown. According to his blog, the mastering is actually being done today at Abbey Road, before a series of interviews with radio in the next few weeks.

In the meantime, fans can listen to samples of the upcoming album on both his MySpace and his blog. As usual with Orbit, the songs incorporate a stunning selection of trippy, hazy electronica tingles and ethereal melodica. Just try not to be distracted by all the LSD friendly images littering his websites–no, I have no idea what that’s all about either. Watch for Oracle to drop on May 4.

According to Darkchild, we may be getting a new Britney track in the semi-near future.

Two days ago, the producer had this to say on Twitter:

Me and Lady Gaga wrote a smash for Britney called “Telephone” the label didnt out it on the lp. It should be out right now!!! Its too hot!!!

And now, from today:

@Darkchild4Real when will we be able to listen to “telephone”? plz if u have a second answer me ^^

@justdancewivme I may put it on Darkchild Presents The Writers Vol. 1

The producer later responded to my question of when the album would drop with “I’m pushing hard for a late summer release.”

The bastard child of “Phonography” and “Don’t Hang Up”? God, I hope so. The bonus tracks from any Britney album always seem to outweigh over half of the album tracks.

Tired of “If U Seek Amy” already?

Sure hope not, because it’s time to get moving. The song has been steadily rising on the Billboard Hot 100 over the past few weeks, jumping from #35 to #26 this week and expected to only continue climbing.

While I’d initially hoped that the upcoming suite of professional mixes would fare well for the song’s danceability, I’m not so sure anymore. Frankly, they’re just plain generic.

On one hand is the Mike Rizzo mix, a rather expected affair of increased tempo and minimal bass–predictable, tame, and easily forgettable.

Then we’ve got the Bimbo Jones mix, which gets a little creative at first with a nice and stuttery introduction, but ultimately fails to slop into anything more exciting.

Where’s the energy, people?

Hipster electro remix outfits…report to the dancefloor immediately!

PS: If you haven’t already, head to Britney.com and VOTE for Britney’s new single…and make sure it’s a vote for “Unusual You”! To further convince you, a piano performance of “Unusual You” from one of my favorite pairs of hands.
