X Ambassadors Love Songs Drug Songs

Indie rockers X Ambassadors have signed on with producer Alex Da Kid’s KIDinaKORNER, releasing their six song Love Songs Drug Songs EP on May 7, 2013. The band – brothers Sam Harris and Casey Harris, Noah Feldshuh, and Adam Levin – worked with Grammy-winning producer Alex Da Kid on the just-released EP which features a track co-written with Imagine Dragons’ Dan Reynolds.

“Every so often a band comes along that disrupts the norm and lays the foundation for the musical landscape of the future,” says Alex Da Kid. “I believe that X Ambassadors are such a band and for that reason, they represent exactly what I set out to create through KIDinaKORNER. I am proud to work with them and welcome them to the KIDinaKORNER family.”

Talking about his work with the band, Reynolds said, “I came across X Ambassadors a few months ago and was instantly impressed. It was one of those rare moments where the music really grabbed me right away. It’s been exciting to collaborate with them.”

Added X Ambassador’s lead singer Sam Harris: “When we first started, there was no real plan other than to make music that we could all be proud of. We wanted to write about things that really mattered to us; to make songs that could be sung in any different style and yet still sound authentic and true; to make music that had elements of all the different genres we’d come to know and love; and above all, we wanted to make something different. Alex and Dan share this vision with us and, with this EP, have helped us start to realize it.”

Why hasn’t this happened before? We don’t know, but it’s now confirmed by Fox that Seth MacFarlane will make his first guest-voicing appearance on The Simpsons‘ season finale. The one-hour episode titled “The Saga of Carl/Dangers On A Train” will air on May 19, 2013 on Fox and will also feature Lisa Lampanelli in a guest-starring voice role.
 
Family Guy creator MacFarlane (and the mastermind behind the R-rated talking teddy bear comedy, Ted) will be providing the voice of “a charming married man whom Marge (Julie Kavner) inadvertently meets on a swingers’ website.”
 
The season finale will also air the winning ‘couch gag’ segment at the beginning of the second episode of the one-hour finale.
 
Details on the Season Finale:
 
In the first part of the season finale event, Homer (Dan Castellaneta), Moe (Hank Azaria), Lenny (Harry Shearer) and Carl (Azaria) win $200,000 in the Springfield Lottery. But when Carl takes off to Iceland – his homeland – with all the winnings, the guys embark on a Nordic adventure to get the cash back. Then, in the second part of the season finale episode, Marge mistakes a swinging Ashley Madison-type website for a Dolly Madison-type cupcake site, not realizing it’s a destination for married people seeking liaisons. On the site, she meets the charming “Ben” (guest voice MacFarlane), who pursues her after they learn they share a love for a Downton Abbey-type TV series, Upton Rectory. Ben’s wife is guest-voiced by comic Lisa Lampanelli.

Edgar Wright + Simon Pegg + Nick Frost = the comedy gems of Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz.

The Plot:
 
The third installment of director Edgar Wright’s trilogy of comedies starring Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, following the successes Shaun of the Dead (2004) and Hot Fuzz (2007). In The World’s End, 20 years after attempting an epic pub crawl, five childhood friends reunite when one of them becomes hellbent on trying the drinking marathon again. They are convinced to stage an encore by Gary King (Simon Pegg), a 40-year-old man trapped at the cigarette end of his teens, who drags his reluctant pals to their hometown and once again attempts to reach the fabled pub – The World’s End. As they attempt to reconcile the past and present, they realize the real struggle is for the future, not just theirs but humankind’s. Reaching The World’s End is the least of their worries.
