[Listen] Stream Giorgio Moroder's First-Ever DJ Set at Brooklyn's Output

For someone who has been such an influential figure in music history, it's surprising that Giorgio Moroder has never performed a live DJ set. Last night that changed. The 73-year-old musician, who recently appeared on Daft Punk's Random Access Memories, dished out a fantastic hour-long set at Brooklyn club Output. Put together by Red Bull Music Academy, the set saw Moroder remixing his own material. He even reworked his collaborative track with Daft Punk, "Giorgio by Moroder." Stream the full set below.

[Listen] Alabama Shakes - "Pocket Change"

We've not heard from Alabama Shakes for quite some time. Just last month I was talking about them with someone and for the life of me could not remember their name. I could however recall their album title, Boys & Girls, and the fact it came out in April last year. I'm full of useless facts about release dates and album titles, but forget the important stuff like band names apparently. Useless in a pub quiz. Anyway that was over a year ago, and now the band are set to appear on True Blood Volume 4 along with Flaming Lips, My Morning Jacket, and Best Coast’s Beth Cosentino. You can hear the Shakes' offering titled "Pocket Change" below via Entertainment Weekly
