In the time since the release of their album Bring on the Comets in 2007, the two core members of VHS or Beta packed up and moved from Louisville, Kentucky to Brooklyn, New York. The shift in location resulted in a change of direction for their music, which has become even more electronic and dance-oriented than before. Diamonds and Death, the band's third full-length album, reflects their extensive experience as DJs and remixers, with bright synthesizer parts bouncing off of hyper-kinetic live and programmed beats. The album won't hit stores until September 27th, but you can download its vibrant first single "Breaking Bones" for free right now.

“Help Me”

Joni Mitchell | 1974

Joni Mitchell wrote and recorded this song for her album Court and Spark, but she had to switch from her regular band to make the song sound exactly the way she wanted. "I had attempted to play my music with rock & roll players," she told Rolling Stone. "They’d laugh, 'Awww, isn't that cute? She's trying to teach us how to play.'" Mitchell switched to a jazz band, Tom Scott’s L.A. Express, and scored the biggest hit of her career in the process.
