Cee-Lo’s uber-catchy single “F–K You” has finally landed. Watch it above and don’t forget to sing-along. The lyric video introduced us to the track, but the music video brings things to a whole new level–it features slick animations, children cursing, and backup dancers! Don’t forget, the song is filled with NSFW language (if you couldn’t guess from the title). Lady Killers, Cee-Lo’s third studio album, drops December 7.

Kid Cudi delays album to November 9, teases Dot Da Genius collab
I don’t want to start counting how many times Kid Cudi’s forthcoming second studio album, Man on the Moon II: The Legend of Mr. Rager, has been delayed. OK, I think it’s been three times. And you know what? For all we know these changes haven’t been delays, per se; everything is labeled rumor until the record label makes the official call. Although the label didn’t make the call this time around, it is the first time Cudder acknowledged a release date. He sounded pretty confident about a November 9 release date when he announced it during a performance at the University of Buffalo. He explained the push to November saying that he’s being working so hard on the songs that he forgot to put much effort into the “other [important] sh-t”, like the album artwork. He wants to “bring art on all levels…musically and visually with the packaging.” He promises that another movie poster and DVD footage will be included with the album. Regular and deluxe versions will be available to purchase.
Cudi continued the conversation with his fans by revealing that another album is in the works. He will be collaborating with longtime partner Dot Da Genius (Day N Nite) and he plans on releasing it alongside MOTM2 so that we will have “a sh-t ton of Kid Cudi music to listen to” for the foreseeable future. Right on! Lastly he says he’s working on mastering “Dose of Dopeness“, a track that he performed for an audience back in 2008.
Look after the break to hear all this news straight outta Kid Cudi’s mouth.

New Xbox 360 wireless controller features new D-pad, matte silver looks
Today Xbox’s Major Nelson showed off a newly designed Xbox 360 wireless controller. Right off the bat you will notice the new color scheme. The controller is now colored matte silver and the ABXY buttons have lost their vibrant colors (green, red, blue, yellow) to match the controller body. The two analog sticks are slightly more concave now, too. What you might not notice instantly in the pictures but you certainly will when the controller is in your hands is the brand new D-pad. For years Xbox gamers have complained about the lack of a raised D-pad, but now this issue can be put to rest. Microsoft has patented a “transforming D-pad”. In the standard configuration the D-pad is a disc (that’s what we’re sued to). With the new controller you can now twist the D-pad to raise the plus sign about a quarter-inch making it a whole lot more usable (especially for gamers who play boxing games where D-pad use is of the utmost importance).
—–>
The new controller will be available November 9 and will only be found inside the $64.99 Play & Charge Kit. Microsoft has not stated if/when the new controller will replace the old model outside of the P&C Kit and whether or not it will ever be bundled in the new 250GB Xbox 360 package. Look after the break to watch Major Nelson hold up the controller in all its gray glory.

Arcade Fire teams with Google to create an awesome music video experience
Arcade Fire, the indie rock band from Canada, just pushed out their latest music video for the song “We Used to Wait” off their recently debuted third studio album The Suburbs. I’m gonna tell you right now, this music video is unlike anything you’ve seen before. The band and director Chris Milk collaborated with Google to design a “Chrome Experiment” that showcases the power of HTML5 inside a browser. Before the music video begins, you are prompted to enter the address of the home where you grew up. After submitting that information multiple browser windows open up and the music begins. These windows open and close at different intervals along with the music and at certain parts your childhood home and surrounding neighborhood become an integral part of the music video (thanks to the power of Google Maps and HTML5 rendering). There is more to the interactive experience, but I don’t want to spoil it for you. Head over to www.thewildernessdowntown.com (preferably within the Google Chrome browser) and check it out!

Music video: Caspa & Mr Hudson – “Love Never Dies” (+ new Hudson track “Angel Eyes”)
Look what we’ve got here. Two new tracks from UK phenom Mr Hudson. If you haven’t listened to his debut solo album go ahead and download Straight No Chaser right now. Got it? Good. Moving on… Not too long ago Hudson was approached by Caspa, a well known Dubstep producer from London, who asked Hudson to invent lyrics for his electronic dance track “Back For The First Time”. After listening to the instrumental beat Hudson immediately agreed to make a hook for the track and, well, take a listen to it in the video above. After listening to both versions, Hudson’s easily takes the cake; his words perfectly match up with Caspa’s building tempo and make for a great song that can now receive ample radio time. And apparently “the track has been lighting up dancefloors & airwaves globally”. The music video was directed by Mo Ali; make sure to peek after the break to watch a making-of video that accompanies the music video. You can download the track at iTunes; it’s available on a 5-track EP.
Next up is a brand spankin’ new track from Mr Hudson. “Angel Eyes” carries a unique, dark, gritty sound that we are not used to hearing from Hudson’s repitoire. The slow vocals and flow are very laid back and Hudson manages to maintain his edge quite effortlessly. It really sounds like a song fellow G.O.O.D. Music artist Kid Cudi would come up with (it’s not as dark as “Solo Dolo” but that strange, eerie vibe remains). There’s no word on whether or not this track comes from his next yet-to-be-titled album. Preview and download it below.

Trailer: The Walking Dead (AMC’s fitting premiere date enclosed)
I have not anticipated the premiere of a new fall TV series like this in quite some time. The Walking Dead, the famed comic book series from Robert Kirkman that follows a band of survivors in a zombie-infested world, is being adapted to the small screen with executive producer/director Frank Darabont (The Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile) at the helm. I have attempted to hook you in from the start–reporting cast additions, production stills, and behind-the-scenes looks from the set. Today the four-and-a-half minute trailer, originally screened at Comic Con in July, has hit the ‘Net and boy does it impress. If nothing caught your attention in the past surrounding the development of the AMC series, this will. In it you will meet Rick Grimes, a man who gets shots and wakes up after a prolonged period of time in a hospital to find his home infiltrated by a hoard of flesh-hungry zombies. Said zombies look horrifyingly spectacular thanks to makeup/special FX extraordinaire Greg Nicotero. I implore you to sit back, relax, and enjoy the first in-depth peek at The Walking Dead.
We’ve been told that The Walking Dead would premiere in October sometime during AMC’s Fearfest schedule, which will include 14 consecutive days of horror-themed programming. Today THR reports that the zombie series will premiere on Halloween night, Sunday October 31 at 10:00PM ET. If you’re planning on spending the night trick-or-treating, don’t forget to set your DVR! The pilot episode, written and directed by Darabont, will run 90 minutes long.

‘Lost’ auction nets over $1 million, fans revel at The Island one last time
From August 21-22 the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, California was transformed into a Lost fan’s wet dream. Not only did it house Lost memorabilia for the show’s most diehard fans and collectors to bid on, but it also contained key set pieces from the show (ie. the Oceanic 815 plane, the hatch, pieces of The Black Rock and The Temple) and actors (Sterling Beaumon (Young Ben Linus), Andrea Gabriel (Nadia), and Daniel Roebuck (Dr. Arzt)) for fans to see and take pictures with. The auction was a smashing success; people in-person, over the telephone, and online paid a pretty penny to call themselves owners of some of Lost‘s most recognizable items. The first day of bidding netted around $900,000, and early estimates speculated that the second day would exceed sales of $1 million. Though it has not been disclosed where all the money will go, it has been made public that an undetermined portion of the proceeds will land in the hands of Hawaii-based charities.
So how much did some of the most exciting items go for? The Dharma Van proved to be the most valuable item at the auction; it sold for $47,500! Not even Hurley’s hot Camaro, which sold for $20,000, could top the vehicle that turned Hurley’s luck around. Somewhat fitting, isn’t it? Other top prizes include: Jacob’s dial mechanism and mirror array from “The Lighthouse” ($27,500); the frozen donkey wheel ($22,500); Faraday’s journal ($20,000); the Dharma Swan station computer ($16,000); the pilot script signed by J.J. Abrams & Damon Lindelof ($15,000); 12 cans of Dharma beer ($5,000); Locke’s wheelchair ($3,250); and Sawyer’s paperback copy of Watership Down ($2,750).
Look after the break for a slightly more extensive list of the top-selling items from the auction. Also after the break is a 12-minute video that will take you on a brief tour around the hangar.

Biker violently collides into jaywalker, nothing to see here
Watch what happens when this particular biker (who is riding his bike in the wrong direction) accidently runs into a man attempting to jaywalk across a busy NYC street. Do you agree that the two mistakes cancel each other out, rending the whole situation lawfully null and void?

Single: Cee-Lo Green – “F–k You” (NSFW)
Cee-Lo Green is a hip-hop/funk/soul artist whose been around since 1992; he is best known for his work with the Goodie Mob, but you will likely recognize his voice from his recent collab with Gnarls Barkley on the smash single “Crazy” off 2006’s St. Elsewhere. Cee-Lo has a new album to promote, so he let loose this extremely catchy and profane single titled, um, “F–k You”. In the song Cee-Lo curses out a girl who left him for a richer man. There is a high level of profanity used in the track, but that is balanced out with really creative and witty lines like, “I’m sorry I can’t afford a Ferrari/I guess she’s an Xbox and I’m more Atari.” This single could be an instant radio hit, but I don’t know how it would fare with the incessant bleeps.
Embedded above is the lyric video for the track (again, it’s filled with NSFW language). A standard music video for the track is expected to drop sometime this week. Cee-Lo’s third solo album Lady Killer hits stores October 4 December 7.
Update: 50 Cent has gone ahead and added a single new verse to the track. In the freestyle he assumes the role of the rich man who stole away Cee-Lo’s lady. Listen to 50’s addition after the break.
Update 2: In an interview with EW, Cee-Lo said that Lady Killer will drop later than expected on December 7. He also revealed that a profanity-free radio edit is in the works. “It’s called “Forget You,”” he says. “It’s pretty close to the original, but not as effective. But it’s politically correct.” So I guess that catchy tune (minus its naughty bits) will make its way to the radio at some point.

Here is the 83-track setlist for Rock Band 3
To make a short story even shorter… Last week RockBandAide leaked a partial setlist from the upcoming Harmonix music game Rock Band 3. This week at Gamescom in Germany, three Harmonix developers set up a camera and dispelled all rumors surrounding the “official” setlist. During this brief video (which is embedded after the break), the developers revealed the entire 83-track setlist in a tongue-in-cheek manner; while two devs told viewers not to believe the misinformed rumors posted online, the other dev nonchalantly scrolled through the entire setlist while the camera was rolling! Avenged Sevenfold, The Bronx, Bob Marley, David Bowie, Deep Purple, Devo, Elton John, Foreigner, INXS, John Lennon, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Ozzy Osbourne, The Police, Queen, Steve Miller Band, War, The Who, Yes. The setlist is pretty phenomenal, so make sure you peek past the break to check it out. Thanks to disc export and DLC support, the game will have access to a library of over 2,000 songs! Rock Band 3 releases October 26, 2010 for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Nintendo Wii.
