Ever listen to Bristol dubstep producer Joker and think, man if only this dude was more sad? Well, fellow Brit Jakwob has got you covered. His take on dubstep is just as intensely danceable as his contemporaries, but he injects songs like "Here With Me" with more than laser beam synths and wobbly bass lines. Dude throws in sentimental pianos and yearning chord changes to throw his beats into stark contrast. "Here With Me" will be featured on an upcoming Jakwob single, due Sept. 13. Grab that track here, and check out his remixes of the likes of Robyn and These New Puritans over at his MySpace. [Fader]

Rick Ross: "Paid Tha Cost" f. Slim Thug
Rick Ross: "Paid Tha Cost" f. Slim Thug
In the rap game, they’re quite a few MCs who have "paid the cost." Apparently, you can now add Rick Ross and Slim Thug to that list. Sampling from the original cost-paying boss, James Brown, "Paid the Cost" is notable for mainly one reason: it officially squashes the internet-beef between these two MC's which we knew was about as real as unicorns. As for the track? It fits in nicely with that catchy, drug-money Maybach music that Rick Ross has been laying down near perfectly since Deeper than Rap. [2DopeBoyz]

Black Mountain and The War on Drugs at Knitting Factory Brooklyn
A sold-out audience packed the floor of Brooklyn’s Knitting Factory on Monday night to catch Black Mountain in support of their new album, Wilderness Heart, out September 14th. Almost two years have passed since the Vancouver band played New York—a long time for a group that was hitting the city three times a year before that.

iPod, iTunes: Steve Jobs Weighs In On Pointless iTunes 10 Icon Debate
iPod, iTunes: Steve Jobs Weighs In On Pointless iTunes 10 Icon Debate
Now that iTunes 10 has us pinging or spritzing or kvetching each other at frightening rates and being happier than we've ever been before, a small group of naysayers has decided to take issue with the new icon, obviously the fault they could find in the entire program. Designer Joshua Kopac took his beef to the man himself, asserting to Jobs that the new icon "sucks" and instantly gets rid of the iTunes' recognizability. Jobs' answer: "We disagree." Those two words work better than Kopac suddenly disappearing from his life and waking up on the Island of Discarded Apple Spokespersons next to Yael Naim, simply because Jobs is saying what everybody already knows: He could make the icon for iTunes his own face, and we would still use it. Convenience demands it! [Gizmodo]

Steve Miller Admits to Being a Reluctant Rock Star, Once Hating the Rolling Stones
"Whenever I got to the very tippity-top of the charts and was ruling the world for a minute, I always ducked for a minute," Miller tells Spinner. "I didn't want that crown." Miller also didn't do a lot of press, instead happily touring and playing for his legions of fans. But now with a new album, 'Bingo!' -- his first in 17 years and one particularly near to his heart, as he takes the blues songs he grew up loving in Texas and turns them into Steve Miller Band tunes -- Miller is cranking up his visibility once more. In a wide-ranging interview, Miller speaks about the importance of music education, how being one of the biggest rock stars on the planet in the '70s wore him out, and why it took him so many years to warm up to the Rolling Stones.
How is the tour going so far?
So far, it's just going great. We put a whole new show together, incorporating the new stuff from the album along with the greatest hits. It's totally changed the way I look at my material, so I'm really enjoying it. The interesting thing for me is that two songs that I was pretty much done with were 'Livin' in the USA' and 'Space Cowboy.' We worked out the original version of 'Space Cowboy.' We always sort of tossed 'Space Cowboy' off as just a joke and so we've put it back together and it's going over quite well.
