Vomit.

hahahaha

awesome work.

Fucking absurd. I heard about this yesterday.

''I got 99 problems and Luke Steel is one - hit me!''

Guarantees another mediocre Jay-Z album. Sigh.

He did say a bitch ain't one, but maybe the implication was that he wanted to rectify the situation.

Steele is really going to outdo himself with Empire of the Sun's live show - he has sole control, he has a large budget, and willing collaborators in various disciplines.

A epochal Fail is on the cards.

Mathis is jealous

MGMT on the record as well... this is shaping up to be worse than the Chris Martin stuff on Kingdom Come.

is it up there with that tosser on the last dj shadow record?

you mean dj shadow? zing

rowr!

Wow Luke is just so OUT THERE.

I quite like steel luke now. No genius by any stretch, but I can't say any success he has is undeserved. Plus, he's been playing the eccentric so long he's almost a proper eccentric now.

i heard a recording of them live (practising) which sounds pretty slick, didnt sound like its going to be just luke steele in make-up singing karaoke....

Whats with all the Luke haters? I think he is a great

good on him but meh...

its not like elton john is going to be on the next Alice In Chains album or anything..

The ego has landed

i should be surprised, but jay z should NOT be putting out albums anymore, so they can eat shit together.

also, they didn't even write any of those empire of the sun songs, right? isn't all ghostwritten by the cuntbag in sneaky sound system? so if you find some top 10 jerk to write you songs and dress up like some other hit 'alt' act of the time, you too can be a cunt on a jay z piece of shit. celebrate.

I think that rather than an 'are' missing, there's a missing 'Willis'.

this is out and about if anyone cares.

i was curious about the song at the very least. which you stream via stereogum on this page

it's so heavily treated i'm wondering why he even bothered getting steele in the studio for that.

I wonder if luke went to record with jz or just emailed him his vox?

from this mtv story (also linked in the stereogum piece)

So Jay's people called Luke's people, and they asked him to jump on a jet to New York for sessions, but because Steele couldn't get a flight out of Perth, Australia, on time, the track was sent to him instead. ''I tracked it all day, for 12 hours, and then I sent it back,'' he said. ''I was a bit nervous, wondering what everyone thought, and Jay-Z called me at 3 in the morning, and he said he loved it.''

Steele — whose brilliance has also been shouted out by the track's producer, Kanye West, on his blog several times — said he took the original hook of ''Shore'' from the band's 2008 Walking on a Dream debut album and did his usual studio manipulation on it. ''It's just whatever comes to mind,'' he said. ''I added some reverse [vocals] and wrote a Neptunes-y, Beach Boys melody on the chorus, and it turned out to be great.''

good luck to steele!
