  • Hot off their stellar set at Sasquatch!, Tame Impala have debuted their new music video for "Cause I'm A Man." Puppets replace the band in the video, and even if The Muppets were never your bag, it's pretty entertaining. The song will be available on their highly anticipated album, Currents (out on July 17.)

  • Surprise! Without any big announcements or fanfare, Chance the Rapper has dropped his latest album, Surf, on iTunes for free. Adding to the mystery, Chance left his name off of the project and billed it to Donnie Trumpet and the Social Experiment. The 16-track collection features collaborations from Jeremih, Busta Rhymes, Erykah Badu, Janelle Monáe, and many more. Check it out below. [Stereogum]

  • Giorgio Moroder has shared a new video megamix that previews little snippets of every song off of his upcoming album. It's a great way to showcase Moroder's variety while not giving too much away. Déjà Vu (out June 12) is a star studded affair, that features Britney Spears, Mikky Echo, Charli XCX, and the like.

  • Bruce Springsteen and The Who took the stage together last night in NYC for a MusiCares concert. The two legends took on The Who's iconic "Won't Get Fooled Again." Thanks to some fan footage, you can watch the performance below. [CoS]
