Kanye debuts "Monster" track with Bon Iver

Holy crizzap! We told you about Justin Vernon flying to Hawaii to record with Kanye; little did we know that he would invite Jay-Z, Rick Ross, and Nicki Minaj to te party.


Stereogum has the scoop: “Monster” is the second track from Watch The Throne, a five song collection announced the other day via @kanyewest. Sorry, Justin doesn’t rap.

Listen to the track at Stereogum.com.

Haunted Basement tix on sale tonight at Midnight!

The scariest/awesomest haunted house in Minnesota (possibly the world) is back! The Soap Factory's Haunted Basement returns for another year starting October 1st and running through Halloween - and tickets go on sale TONIGHT at Midnight (technically Sept 1st). Tickets WILL and ALWAYS sell out, so we suggest you hop to it if you want to check it out!

The annual tour is something you have to see to believe. The sprawling, artist-designed haunted extravaganza is held in the Soap Factory's terrifying basement -- a basement we're even scared to enter during the day in the off-season. It features a labyrinth of creepy vignettes, startling monsters, wicked smells (yes, a couple scientists actually manufacture gross smells to permeate the premises), and much more. Definitely not for the faint of heart: All attendees need to be 18+ AND sign a waiver before entering.

Follow @HauntedBasement on Twitter for sneak peeks, updates and spookiness to get you in the mood.

Check out a few preview pix via soapfactory.org:
