New Franz Ferdinand - Bullet (From 'A Weekend In Glasgow')

Before Scotland faves Franz Ferdinand release the brand new Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action, the band gave a little taste of the studio process with "A Weekend In Glasgow." The mini-documentary shot feature, which barely crawls past three minutes, features a brand new Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action track "Bullet." Although it's not the finished product (patience, guys), it's the first brand new music we've heard from the band since 2009's post Tonight: Franz Ferdinand dance collaboration release Blood.

Watch the short below and pre-order the new album via Domino Records before the August 27 release.

DJ Falcon and Paul Williams on Daft Punk

In the latest additions to the The Collaborators, The Creators Project introduced a pair of new interviews from fellow Frenchman DJ Falcon and singer-songwriter/actor Paul Williams, the man most famous for writing "Rainbow Connection," on their roles with Daft Punk's Random Access Memories.

While the latter contributor may be a bit perplexing, both give unique perspectives that weren't apparent in the previous episodes of the series  DJ Falcon (Stéphane Quême) began his rise in France around the same time as Daft Punk as an atypical house DJ, and gives the view on working together as actual long-time friends rooted in similar origins. While the latter talks of a person feeling and mature connection to what the music can be.

Check out both interviews below. Random Access Memories is set for release May 21.

Pharrell Williams on Daft Punk

There's no trying to escape it, the campaigning Daft Punk have done for Random Access Memories is totally engrossing. No album in recent memory has done so much to garner this amount of hype and done it so effectively well as have the electro pioneers, asking the question, are Daft Punk ready to be the biggest thing in music?

After teasing fans at Coachella and during Saturday Night Live with a preview of "Get Lucky" with Pharrell Williams and Nile Rodgers, the first and only song fans have heard from the album, the star-studded tracklist was unveiled. Then, the duo's Saint Laurent ad campaign debuted. And now, we have the fourth installment in the Creators Project series, featuring the aforementioned Williams.

Watch below and keep waiting until May 21.

Nile Rodgers on Daft Punk

In the latest installment of The Creator's Project documentary series on the making of Daft Punk's Random Access Memories, the focus moves to super producer/musician Nile Rodgers. Opening up, Rodgers talks about feeling the same way as when he met David Bowie and Duran Duran as he does with the electro idols, and how much things have evolved since his hey-day.

Rather than on the Giorgio Moroder and Todd Edwards portions, however, Rodgers largely discusses the processes he used in creating his past hits and how that's transferred to Random Access Memories, rather than simply drooling over how good the duo actually are.

Watch below while we count the days down until May 21.

Creating 'Shaking The Habitual'

The unmistakable depth of The Knife's awe-inducing Shaking The Habitual is something to admire. But, for an album that goes so far with so many varying layers of subject material, experimentation, and re-imagination of what is possible by the medium, its somewhat taxing.

From director Marit Östberg, fans have an opportunity to look at what went into the creation of the album from the direct perspectives of Olof Dreijer and Karin Dreijer Andersson. And, as one might expect, the process for them is much different than other artists. Internal questions of identity (the masks The Knife often wear) are asked, with Olof and Karin looking for answers rather than just expecting them. They also speak candidly about the music industry, which Karin refers to as "homogenized," and what must be done to surpass the normalcy of expectations.

Watch the whole 13-minute video below and stream the whole album via The Knife official website.

Todd Edwards on Daft Punk

Last week, the Creators Project (of Vice) released the first of a continuing series of interview about this year's biggest album, Daft Punk's Random Access Memories.

Going from Giorgio Moroder, the second installment in the series focused on Bloomfield, NJ producer Todd Edwards, who fans might be familiar with previously worked with Daft Punk, supplying the vocals on Discovery standout "Face to Face."

Edwards details his participation, but what really stands out is his unabashed love for what the duo are doing. So much so, he reveals, that he actually moved because of his short time working with them. Check Part Two below and stay tuned for more soon.

Giorgio Moroder on Daft Punk

Fans familiar with Vice may recognize another one of its side pieces, The Creators Project. While not only focusing on music, a la Noisey, The Creators Project does highlight the more artsy of music videos, so there's some crossover.

The newest and most damn exciting series from the group is a collaboration series about the upcoming Holy Hell it's actually coming new album from electro deities Daft Punk. The first of the series features insight from Italian disco pioneer Giorgio Moroder, who helped out on Random Access Memories.

Moroder discusses the duo's penchant for supreme perfectionism, exuding unmistakable high praise for the French giants. Watch part one of the series below and get ready for Random Access Memories May 21. A new national world-wide holiday.

Crate Diggers on J Dilla

Yesterday, Fuse ran the newest and most-welcome addition to the site's Crate Diggers series, focusing on Detroit legend J Dilla. His mother Maureen Yancy, his brother John (Illa J), and J. Rocc are among the featured guests on the documentary, which takes a look at Dilla's early habits and broad-based tastes.

It's a fun look at the increasingly beloved producer and gives fans a new perspective at the mind that was. Check it out below.

Watch The Black Lips in the Middle East

Last year, the always adventurous Black Lips saw their hopeful Middle East tour dashed in the wake of the Arab Spring. Not letting that stop their intentions, the band set out for stops in Dubai, Lebanon, Egypt, and a few other hot spots, while Vice music collective Noisey follows them on the way. Watch the fun below.
