I’m a little late on this, but I finally got around to watching this one. Unsurprisingly, Bruno Mars has once again dropped a super fun and infectious jam and the perfect music video to accompany it.
Bruno’s third studio album, 24K Magic, is due out 11/18.

What are your favorite new releases this week?
Test Pattern is the latest music project from Fred Armisen and Bill Hader. Test Pattern also happens to be a spot on parody of Talking Heads. If you’ve been watching IFC’s Documentary Now, you’re probably well aware that Armisen and Hader, along with the great Maya Rudolph, staged a full-on parody of the Talking Heads’ classic 1984 concert film Stop Making Sense for the latest episode.
But wait, there’s more!
It turns out that Hader and Armisen recorded a full-on album in character as the band Test Pattern and you can stream it below.

The xx have confirmed what we’ve all been waiting/hoping for – the trio is in the studio recording their third full-length album. No word on an actual release date, but they plan to “test” out some of their new material during their recently announced live shows later this year. They also shared a playlist of songs they’ve been listening to in the studio (links below). Enjoy and stay tuned for more.
