Linkin Park‘s new track, ‘Wretches and Kings’ proves the alternative rock band is moving back to their rap-rock roots.

Opening with political activist Mario Savio’s famous ‘Bodies Upon the Gears’ 1964 address (“And you’ve got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you’ve got to make it stop”), the song breaks into a full-disgruntled effort, with low-register, looping electro-beats helmed by Joe Hahn.

Mike Shinoda even comfortably slides back into his heavy rapping-role, despicably delivering lines of communist hysteria: “Don’t fight the power, nobody gets hurt / If you haven’t heard yet, then I’m letting you know, there ain’t shit / We don’t run when the guns are low / And no one make a move unless my people say so / Got everything out of control.”…(read more)

In his new song, ‘What if I Kissed You,’ Drake proves once again that he’s not afraid to bend and blend musical genres.

Although the Stargate-produced song's beat is definitely categorized within the hip-hop realm, both the artist's silky smooth voice and alluringly romantic lyrics seem to be a direct descendant of yesterday's R&B titans. At the same time, however, the track's refrain has a unique quality usually reserved for pure pop songs.

By the time the song winds down, most listeners are left wondering about which musical category Drake belongs to, while plenty of others will surely be fantasizing about what would really happen if Drake actually kissed them….(read more)

Nicki Minaj teams up with Black Eyed Peas mainman will.i.am to celebrate the late-night lifestyle on their new collaborative single ‘Check It Out.’ The track will be included on Minaj’s debut solo album, ‘Pink Friday,’ out this fall.

‘Check It Out’ features the nearly constant repetition of the piano and vocal hook from The Buggles‘ 1979 classic ‘Video Killed the Radio Star,’ which is famous for being the first video ever played on MTV.

As the incessant “Oh-a oh’s” pretty much bore a hole in your head, the duo verbally flip the bird to their haters while on their way into the hottest dance club in town….(read more)

When Zillow execs fire up the griddle and serve breakfast to Zillowites, it’s a sign of two things: sizzling bacon, which also means sizzling Zillow results.

It’s been a tremendous summer for Zillow on many fronts with new partnerships announced and records shattered. And so, it has become our tradition to celebrate accomplishments like these by serving a company breakfast – or, rather, to have the Zillow execs serve breakfast – to Zillowites.

What exactly did we accomplish this summer? First and foremost, we surpassed July’s record traffic with a new record of 12.5 million unique visitors coming to Zillow in August. This beats our previous record by more than 800k visitors (source: Omniture). Zillow Mobile is also setting records, as we recently announced over 2 million downloads of our apps.  And, for bringing home the bacon (pun absolutely intended), the company earned free breakfast yesterday morning.

And on top of our banner traffic year, the team has been hard at work…

… forging new partnerships with Yahoo! and Apartments.com …

… improving our home shopping experience …

… rolling out the (relatively) new Zillow Premier Agent Program …

… launching new mobile apps for Android and iPad …

…and talking turkey about the future of the housing market with the likes of Fox Business, ABC News, Good Morning America, and Bloomberg.

And we are hiring!  Come help fuel the next wave of growth at Zillow. In addition to getting to work with a great team on challenging problems to transform an industry, who doesn’t like free food served by our own Chief Economist?
