From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.On Wednesday, the most blogged artists according to The Hype Machine are South London group The xx, Baltimore duo Beach House, and Justice, a French electronic duo with a second album expected out in early 2010.
Justice is in the blogosphere Wednesday following the apparent leak of a single by the duo, called "Beginning of the End." According to Stereogum (stereogum.com) the track was sent to bloggers from the duo's record label with the message, "share it or talk about it." ArjanWrites.com says the track has "a sound that will please dance aficionados and have them raving for more."
Another French group, the alternative rock band Phoenix, is getting mention Wednesday. UK alternative dance band Delphic has just released its remix of Phoenix's "Fences," off a US-only album Delphic is set to release in March. "Fences" comes from Phoenix's 2009 album Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix, which was named the third best album of the year by Rolling Stone.
