<p><a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/kurt-vile">Kurt Vile</a> will release a new album <em>watch my moves</em> on April 15 via Verve Records. In support of the new album, Vile has released the first single “Like Exploding Stones” along with an accompanying video featuring Sun Ra Arkestra’s James Stewart.</p>
<p>The track is serene in mood, with lo-fi folk elements that transcend the typical conventions of the genre to incorporate elements of psychedelia. The video shows the juxtaposition between calm, soothing Philadelphia daytime and darker nightlife with colorful explosions.</p>
<div class="ast-oembed-container"><iframe style="width: 698px; height: 393px;" title="Kurt Vile - Like Exploding Stones" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Oz52D43VRSE?feature=oembed" width="698" height="393" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p> </p>
<p><em>Watch my moves </em>was produced by Vile and longtime collaborator Rob Schnapf. Vile recorded the single along with most of the forthcoming album in his newly created home studio, OKV Central, in Mount Airy neighborhood of Philadelphia.</p>
<p>“When Waylon Jennings became an outlaw country artist, he liked to record at Hillbilly Central, which was Tompall Glaser’s studio,” Vile shares. “OKV Central is my version of that in Mount Airy. I’ve come into my own here, and at the same time I’m getting back to my home-recording roots.”</p>
<p><em>Watch my moves</em> is Vile’s ninth solo album and first album since <em>Bottle It In </em>which he released in 2018, receiving critical acclaim. The forthcoming album is available for preorder <a href="https://kurtvile.lnk.to/WatchMyMoves">here</a>. The album is set to have laid laid-back feel without compromising the striking vibrancy seen already on “Like Exploding Stones.”</p>
<p>“It’s about songwriting. It’s about lyrics. It’s about being the master of all domains in the music,” Vile said in a release. “I’m always thinking about catchy music, even though it’s fried, or sizzled, out. It’s my own version of a classic thing—it’s moving forward and backward at the same time.”</p>

<p>The actress and musician previously told <a href="http://anothermag.com/fashion-beauty/13566/zoe-kravitz-cover-story-collier-schorr-catwoman-interview-style-2021" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>AnOther</em> magazine</a> back in October that she’d been recording with Antonoff “for a couple of years, on and off”.</p>

</ul>
<p>Speaking in a new interview with <a href="https://www.elle.com/culture/celebrities/a39035654/zoe-kravitz-interview-march-2022/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Elle</em></a>, Kravitz has now spoken further about working with the <a href="https://www.nme.com/artists/bleachers">Bleachers</a> musician at Electric Lady Studios in New York.</p>
<p>“It feels vulnerable, and it’s a little scary, but making music makes me happy,” Kravitz said about the project. <em>Elle</em> notes that the forthcoming music “explores love and loss, among other themes she’s still discovering”.</p>
<p>Kravitz told <em>AnOther</em> last year that Antonoff is “a fantastic producer – he’s so good at really tapping into who he’s working with and not making it about him”.</p>
<figure id="attachment_3162050" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 2000px;" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-3162050"><img src="https://www.nme.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Zoe-Kravitz.jpg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="Zoë Kravitz" height="444" width="698" /></figure>
<p>“Some producers want to make it about … like, ‘I’m going to put my sound on you’. It’s what I experienced with my band,” she explained. “But for him to want to help me realise what I’m hearing in my head has been a really wonderful experience and very therapeutic.</p>
<p>“I wrote it over a long stretch of time, subconsciously just capturing this range of emotions, which has been interesting to look back on and see what I was writing about them, then and now and in between. It’s personal. It’s about love and loss. I got married. I got divorced. Separations, break-ups are sad but are beautiful things too. It’s about the bittersweetness, that beginning and that end.”</p>
<p>Kravitz added: “It’s so complex, that space, when you’re in between heartbroken and mourning the loss of something and excited for what’s ahead of you.”</p>

<p>After months of fan anticipation, Mitski’s recent album <em>Laurel Hell</em> debuted at #5 on the Billboard 200 and earned the #1 spot for album sales.</p>
<p>The indie darling has seen a steady rise in fame over the past few years following her beloved two most recent albums. <em>Laurel Hell</em> has brought the singer a new level of chart success, propelling her further into the mainstream than ever before.</p>
<figure id="attachment_379156" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 225px;" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-379156"><img src="https://static.spin.com/files/2022/02/download-1.jpg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" height="225" width="225" />
<figcaption id="caption-attachment-379156" class="wp-caption-text">‘Laurel Hell’ album cover</figcaption>
</figure>
<p>The album has earned the #1 spot on several categories including Top Alternative Albums, Top Rock Albums, Vinyl Albums, and Tastemaker Albums. According to Billboard, the Indie superstar had “the largest vinyl sales week for any album released in 2022, and largest vinyl debut for an album by a female artist since Adele’s 30” was released.” She also debuted at #6 in the UK, #7 in Australia, among appearances on album charts across the globe. Mitski landed on top 40 charts in Belgium, Canada, Germany, Ireland, New Zealand, and more.</p>
<p>Earlier this month, Mitski released a whimsical music <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNwy1Th4NYo">video</a> for her song ‘<a href="https://www.spin.com/2022/02/mitski-shares-victorian-inspired-video-for-stay-soft/">Stay Soft</a>.’ Mitski will embark on a tour starting later this week in support of <em>Laurel Hell </em>with dates across North America and Europe.</p>

<p>McCrory, who played Polly Gray in the <a href="https://www.nme.com/tag/bbc" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BBC</a> series, <a href="https://www.nme.com/news/tv/peaky-blinders-star-helen-mccrory-died-aged-52-secret-cancer-battle-2922317" target="_blank" rel="noopener">died aged 52 from cancer in April last year</a> – when filming on the sixth season had been halted due to the <a href="https://www.nme.com/tag/coronavirus" target="_blank" rel="noopener">coronavirus </a>pandemic.</p>
<p>Opening up about the new season, Murphy said he thinks it will be a “tribute” to her.</p>
<p>He told <a href="https://variety.com/2022/tv/news/cillian-murphy-peaky-blinders-season-6-1235178180/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Variety:</em></a> “I think the whole series is really in tribute to her and to honour her. Her presence and her character’s presence are very much still felt in the series, and it is very much part of Tommy’s journey in the season.</p>
<p>“It’ll be different without her, you know. It simply won’t be the same. I’ve spoken about how phenomenal she was as an actress and as a person and it is an enormous loss to the whole acting community and not just for our show.</p>
<p>“My thoughts are always with Damian [Lewis, her husband] and her kids. I just hope that the show will live up to her memory and our memory of her.”</p>

<p>Elsewhere in the interview, Murphy said he thinks fans will be “pleased” with the new season, which he described as “special”.</p>
<p>When asked what fans can expect, he said: “I think this is the culmination of the series that hopefully improves upon the last season and makes the most recent one the richest and deepest one that we possibly can, partially because of all of the pandemic shit happening in the world and, of course, the really sad loss of McCrory.</p>
<p>“I think we are determined to make this a special series and we have been extra committed to working hard. I think the fans will be pleased.”</p>

Yes, you read correctly. A reunion never seemed possible due to a number of issues and fissions between the bandmembers over the years. Yet, it seems like fans of the alt-rock cult favorites have something to hang their hats on.</p>
<p>Steinberg unexpectedly brought out Doughty during his performance at Largo in Los Angeles for <a href="https://www.watkinsfamilyhour.com/">Watkins Family Hour</a>. The duo performed Soul Coughing songs “Super Bon Bon” and “True Dreams of Wichita” together.</p>
<p>Doughty and Steinberg aside, none of Soul Coughing’s members have performed together since they split in 2000.</p>

<p>Gearing up for their forthcoming album, Destroyer released the new single “Eat the Wine, Drink the Bread.”</p>
<p>The track follows the previously released “Tintoretto, It’s For You.” Both songs are off <em>Labyrinthitis,</em> which is slated for release on March 25. Frequent Destroyer collaborator John Collins lent a hand with the tracks on the album, which was mainly written in 2020 and recorded the following spring. Some of the record’s initial song ideas were influenced by disco, Art of Noise, and New Order.</p>

<p>In further support of her newly released sophomore album, Snail Mail unveiled the early demo version of the record’s lead single, “Adore You.”</p>
<div class="ast-oembed-container"><iframe style="width: 698px; height: 393px;" title="Snail Mail - " src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/wThd6otHLzU?feature=oembed" width="698" height="393" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p> </p>
<p>The track by the artist regularly known as Lindsey Jordan features early lyrics and a different structure, providing the true, vulnerable lo-fi aura the song was originally rooted in. It is off her latest, <em>Valentine</em>, which was released on November 5 last year.</p>
<p>Shortly after releasing her acclaimed album <em>Valentine</em>, Jordan underwent throat surgery after polyps were found on her vocal cords. As a result, Jordan had to postpone her long-awaited tour. She details her challenging recovery in the new episode of ‘Sheroes Mixtape Memoir’ for Sonos Radio, which you can listen to <a href="https://www.mixcloud.com/sonos/sheroes-mixtape-memoir-with-carmel-holt-s2-episode-10-snail-mail/">here or on the Sonos app.</a></p>
<div>Jordan also shared her <a href="https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4rluaBYgj3RMzwRZr3ZS2Z?si=552119156bcd45ce">Valentine mixtape memoir via Spotify</a> (on Valentine’s Day), which features Coldplay, Paramore, and <a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/5ovaAL9Xo7FRPRU3QZv8eS?si=3e3e1ac342e142ef">this smooth little gem</a> by Mos Def and the Isley Brothers.</div>

<p>Snail Mail is still set to embark across North America, the UK, and Europe this year. She’ll kick off April 5 in Philadelphia, and <a href="https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001Ogandsp11adXx4l1M9jTrZOsLOPNS_W2tS_7SEdPUKUPyrynzWPX8pZDenl3QferHUnyqZc5jsbX6qVdjMXaRqBnkY-78uR7KZ8YhHaMyq3NBdjFEVohhJ9YWeMcp_MX1y45sxdqcf5DPdBQTQPTLg==&c=lvs9MAxvDwdE6sBaFQ1qVUopd8s8-lJtbjzBJjvQL9nVfJAYkeq_7w==&ch=K7JJ-R54FGZA-TjYR8VTVUOarub4vS_IWz2pKfu4Bz-AXf6T4CKycg==">tickets are available now</a>.</p>

<p>The band were co-headlining the third and final night of the festival at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, alongside <a href="https://www.nme.com/artists/miley-cyrus">Miley Cyrus</a>. Over the course of their set, they played 28 songs from across their career, plus several covers.</p>
<p>Opening with ‘American Idiot’, the first half of their set included ‘ Holiday’, ‘Know Your Enemy’ and a cover of The Crickets’ ‘I Fought The Law’, which the band haven’t played live since 2010. They also played Tommy James & the Shondells’ ‘I Think We’re Alone Now’ for the first time, along with <a href="https://www.nme.com/artists/kiss">KISS</a>‘ ‘Rock And Roll All Nite’ and <a href="https://www.nme.com/artists/operation-ivy">Operation Ivy</a>‘s ‘Knowledge’.</p>
<p>In amidst classics like ‘When I Come Around’ and ‘Basket Case’, the band also played some older gems for the first time in many years including ‘Disappearing Boy’, ‘Stuck With Me’ and ‘At The Library’. They finished their encore with 1990’s ‘Going To Pasalacqua’.</p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">While emo music might be most associated with sadness and heartbreak, those lovelorn artists couldn’t have written such songs without experiencing some serious romantic highs.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Since it’s Valentine’s Day, we wanted to focus on the good parts of love more than the bad — although there’s still some unhappiness and resentment mixed in. (I mean, it is still emo after all.) </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">SPIN</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">’s writers spanned decades, waves and numerous albums looking for the top emo love songs, and now we’ve gathered them all here to save you the work. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">And yes, we know “emo” is just as broad a term as “love song” — you may also describe some of these acts as pop-punk or post-hardcore or even heart-on-sleeve indie-rock. But all of these bangers branch off the same family tree. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">From trailblazers like The Get Up Kids and Sunny Day Real Estate to torch-carriers like Say Anything and Paramore, we look back on some of the best emo love songs to celebrate your relationship — or lack thereof — this time of year.</span></p>
<h2 dir="ltr">40. Modern Baseball – “Apartment”</h2>
<p dir="ltr"><span style="font-weight: 400;">MoBo had plenty of love songs — most dealt with unrequited love, pining after someone and the pains of being rejected or longing from a distance. But “Apartment” feels like the most relatable one: walking narrow sidewalks with your friends to an apartment where you meet someone new over party games, and at the end of the night you don’t even want to fall asleep because you’d rather be awake thinking of that person. And unlike the agonizing drama or even </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">anger</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;"> of numerous love songs in this genre, “Apartment” is almost quaint in its affection, leaving the listener smiling at the meet-cute. It’s a sweet story couples tell their kids about how they met — still arguing over whether the other person cheated at the game — and it ends with Jake Ewald’s protagonist finally mustering up the courage to ask, over an unresolved note, if they want to hang out tonight and make dinner or something. – </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Brendan Menapace</span></em></p>

<p> </p>
<h2 dir="ltr">39. Alkaline Trio – “Enjoy Your Day”</h2>
<p dir="ltr"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Alright, so this one is admittedly more of a heartbreak song than a romantic one, but it’s also pretty much the quintessential emo Valentine’s Day song that isn’t The Get Up Kids’ “Valentine.” While Matt Skiba sings most of Alkaline Trio’s biggest hits, Dan Andriano takes the lead on this acoustic </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Goddamnit </span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">track, which stands out as one of their most lovestruck. In roughly 12 lines (although the last four are repeated), “Enjoy Your Day” captures the tragedy and glimmer of positivity that exists in every heartbreak. A lot of Alkaline Trio’s songs sound “authentic,” but this one drags the listener right into Andriano’s misery with him — but in a good way. – </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Josh Chesler</span></em></p>
<div class="ast-oembed-container"><iframe style="width: 699px; height: 524px;" title="Enjoy Your Day" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/NUsuB0HUkGA?feature=oembed" width="699" height="524" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p> </p>
<h2 dir="ltr">38. The Menzingers – “After the Party”</h2>
<p dir="ltr"><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Menzingers’ brand of boozy punk makes for a special kind of romance, and “After The Party” is their lightning-in-a-bottle encapsulation of it. Frontman Greg Barnett challenged himself to write a song comprised more of images than simple words, and the result feels just as euphoric as being in love. Mornings drinking coffee and listening to music, or examining the knick-knacks in your lover’s bedroom, are just as vital as the drunken rooftop nights. It’s all tied together with this perfect, straightforward chorus couplet: “Everybody wants to get famous / But you just wanna dance in a basement.”</span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;"> – Mia Hughes</span></em></p>
<div class="ast-oembed-container"><iframe style="width: 698px; height: 393px;" title="The Menzingers - " src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ghTYSXQnqbg?feature=oembed" width="698" height="393" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p> </p>
<h2 dir="ltr">37. Panic! At the Disco – “Northern Downpour”</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This cult classic is rooted in some elusive emo mythology. Fans passionately ‘shipped vocalist Brendon Urie with Panic!’s then-guitarist Ryan Ross, and their beautiful harmonies here had them further convinced. The lyrics read like poetry in a love letter and ended up taking form in many tattoos: “I know the world’s a broken bone / But melt your headaches, call it home.” Despite being more of a deep-cut, it’s the second biggest track off the folky </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Pretty. Odd.</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">, and with good reason. It grows more hypnotic as the two voices meld together, repeating a simple, bittersweet incantation: “Sugarcane in the easy mornin’ / Weathervanes my one and lonely.” – </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Danielle Chelosky</span></em></p>

<p> </p>
<h2 dir="ltr">36. Braid – “Collect From Clark Kent”</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Even Superman needs a little love sometimes. Midwest ‘90s heroes Braid put on the cape for “Collect From Clark Kent,” a song just as fun as it is touching. Their trademark frenetic, mathy energy is the backdrop for vocalist Bob Nanna’s plea to his own Lois Lane. “I’m on the corner of cough and cold, and I’m a lovestruck lost soul,”</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">he confesses, utilizing wordplay that made him one of the era’s most distinctive lyricists. The song barrels towards its payoff, the breakdown where Nanna promises: “Once in your arms, we’ll rise above the ground […] I’m never coming down.”</span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;"> – M.H.</span></em></p>

<p> </p>
<h2 dir="ltr">35. Relient K – “Be My Escape”</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The “you” lines in “Be My Escape” are just vague enough that kids in conservative households could realistically tell their parents that it’s about God (which it might actually be), while others could pair an in-the-flesh counterpart to vocalist Matt Thiessen’s titular plea. “Be My Escape” relies on that classic Springsteenian theme of leaving this town and this unfilling life, grabbing hold of your partner (or, maybe, your faith), and finally hitting the metaphorical gas pedal. Musically, it relies on the jangly riffs, tempo changes, and layered guitars written into the emo playbook by the genre’s Founding Fathers, with just enough piano to fit in among the band’s contemporaries on the Christian circuit. – <em>B.M.</em></span></p>
<p> </p>

<p> </p>
<h2 dir="ltr">34. Don Martin Three – “Transistor”</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Love in emo music is most often felt in the delivery — “I love you” is a more memorable lyric when you’re screaming it at the top of your lungs as the band sounds like they jumped off a mountain. Don Martin Three’s “Transistor” feels like a nosedive off that mountain. The short-lived ‘90s trio warm up with typical, jittery emo drum hits and melodic guitar until singer Colin McCann jumps headfirst into the void and drags the band with him in his admission that yes, it’s true, he’s in love. The cryptic lyrics of “Transistor,” like love itself, aren’t clearly defined. But you absolutely </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">feel</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;"> it. –</span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Brady Gerber</span></em></p>

<p> </p>
<h2 dir="ltr">33. The Ataris – “Takeoffs and Landings”</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Ataris’ 2003 album, </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">So Long, Astoria</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">, zeroed in on teenage nostalgia long before the record itself became a critical part of teenage emo nostalgia. Snuggled up amongst songs of longing for their own rapidly vanishing youth is “Takeoffs and Landings,” a pop-punk classic jam-packed with more air travel similes than teens with badly dyed hair at, well, an Ataris show. The lyrics tell the tale of kissing your long-distance love goodbye before those pesky miles get in the way again and you’re back to sad lyrics in your AIM away messages. Years later, that feeling of homesickness still hits. – </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Laura Marie Braun</span></em></p>
<p> </p>

<p> </p>
<h2 dir="ltr">32. Turnover – “Dizzy on The Comedown”</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It might actually be illegal to discuss emo love songs without mentioning </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Peripheral Vision</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">, Turnover’s second album. Though more preoccupied with heartbreak, “Dizzy On The Comedown,” the record’s biggest track, follows the beginning of a romance: “I want to know about you / I’m spinning all around you.” Immersed in a fuzzy, rose-tinted atmosphere, it describes the delirium of lust — and how the feeling of falling in love is not too different from the feeling of intoxication. The song itself is just as addicting. – </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">D.C.</span></em></p>
<p> </p>
<div class="ast-oembed-container"><iframe style="width: 698px; height: 393px;" title="Turnover - " src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Q34dZ6VmI04?feature=oembed" width="698" height="393" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p> </p>
<h2 dir="ltr">31. Bright Eyes – “Pull My Hair”</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Look, this entire list probably could’ve been composed of Bright Eyes (or Dashboard Confessional) songs. Conor Oberst figured out a seemingly impossible number of ways to write and sing about love, lust, heartbreak, and everything in between. On “Pull My Hair,” the 18-year-old songwriter already sounds wise beyond his age, singing about the possibility of reigniting the bedroom spark with his seemingly long-term lover. There’s no shortage of songs about sex (hell, one could argue that most songs are in one way or another), but significantly fewer are self-aware enough to compare sex to a song and not come off as cringeworthy or self-aggrandizing. – </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">J.C.</span></em></p>
<p> </p>

<p> </p>
<h2 dir="ltr">30. Head Automatica – “Beating Heart Baby”</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Fronted by Glassjaw’s Daryl Palumbo, Head Automatica perfectly toed the line of that 2000s indie-sleaze-meets-Britpop sound — and it paid off. Besides being a staple of every dance party of the era, 2004’s “Beating Heart Baby” was an instant crossover classic for scenesters and emo kids alike. The simple lyrics meant everyone could sing along, and the pressing question of “Baby, is this love for real?” opened the door for dance floor makeout sessions everywhere. Between Palumbo’s era-defining vocals and a drum track that actually does get hearts racing, the song remains no less infectious. – </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">L.M.B.</span></em></p>

<p> </p>
<h2 dir="ltr">29. The Get Up Kids – “Valentine”</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I drove an ‘88 Datsun Maxima in high school — a light blue, rear-wheel-drive, four-door sedan with an inline-six. I made endless mixtapes for that car, cassettes that would last the entirety of the drive from my parents’ house to my girlfriend’s place outside the city. The songs were sequenced just right, placed in order of emotional resonance, taking me on a journey from the outer regions of my teen angst to the center of my desire for love. “Valentine” by The Get Up Kids was the core of that feeling. A perfect snapshot of the way any distance, emotional or physical, feels oceanic in scope — feeling the longing of a lover lost over a vast separation and the contortions we will put ourselves through in a desperate bid to hold on for just one more second. The constants aren’t so constant anymore. – </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Niko Stratis</span></em></p>
<p> </p>
<div class="ast-oembed-container"><iframe style="width: 700px; height: 525px;" title="Valentine" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ukXYU1kqadc?feature=oembed" width="700" height="525" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p> </p>
<h2 dir="ltr">28. Bring Me the Horizon – “Deathbeds”</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">By 2011, Bring Me The Horizon decided to throw metalcore out on the treelawn to follow pursuits more nuanced and textured. On 2013’s </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Sempiternal</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">, BMTH nudged toward atmospheric, electronic vistas, with “Deathbeds” being the sonic/psychic summit. The majestic fatalism sounds like a chrome-plated 4AD band; the lyrics (“I watch you like a hawk / I watch you like I’m going to tear you from limb to limb”; “The waves will pull us under / Tides will bring me back to you”) feel as if Sylvia Plath couldn’t decide between poetry or stalking. Sykes’ then-muse Hannah Snowdon supplies the backing vocals: Their marriage lasted only a year, thereby establishing this track as peak emo melancholy. – <em>Jason Pettigrew</em></span></p>

<p> </p>
<h2 dir="ltr">27. Cartel – “Honestly”</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Cartel’s debut single, “Honestly,” hones in on a classic emo vibe: being jealous when your past fling decides to date someone else and resolving to win them back: “</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">You’re part of the reason I’m so set on the rest of my life / Being a part of you,” Will Pugh sings over a choppy riff, building to </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">a scream-along lyrics. The song, which appeared in the 2006 romantic comedy John Tucker Must Die, was paired with a music video that now serves an ode to the early aughts of online dating, featuring Myspace-esque backdrops and selfies galore.</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">– </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Nina Braca</span></em></p>

<p> </p>
<h2 dir="ltr">26. New Found Glory – “Hit or Miss”</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We’ve all been there. You’re seeing someone, but you’re not entirely sure how it’s going to play out in the long run. Maybe you’re not ready to commit, or maybe you’re thinking about moving on from someone. But within all of that uncertainty, you’re left with the concern that you might’ve just blown a really good thing. Have you waited too long to see (or text) them? It’s the age-old question — and the chorus of the first song that many of us ever heard from New Found Glory. – <em>J.C.</em></span></p>
<p> </p>
<div class="ast-oembed-container"><iframe style="width: 695px; height: 521px;" title="Hit Or Miss" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/6G4ImLCBO4Y?feature=oembed" width="695" height="521" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p> </p>
<h2 dir="ltr">25. Basement – “Oversized”</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The DNA of British quintet Basement feels more post-grunge and nascent shoegaze than most of the stuff found on the hard drives of former Brand New fans. However, they were able to connect with some denizens of “the Scene” on their Stateside tours. This track from 2016’s </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Promise Everything</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;"> is about how difficult it can be to reveal your true self to someone you adore. Frontman Andrew Fisher captures that essence with a lyric relatable to every heart (“I’m with you when I’m by myself / At least I feel like it’s true / With a little help / And can you tell / My heart beats faster when you speak”), with some references to the pain of long-distance love. Because acknowledging you have a problem is the first step to reconciling, well, just about anything… –</span> <em><span style="font-weight: 400;">J.P.</span></em></p>

<p> </p>
<h2 dir="ltr">24. Cursive – “The Recluse”</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“The Recluse,” from Cursive’s 2003 concept album, </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Ugly Organ</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">, is equal parts drama and self-indulgence. The song’s main character is fictional, but the lyrics feel disarmingly personal, as singer Tim Kasher zeroes on the high and lows of infatuation. Our protagonist spells out his intense feelings for a lover he is enthralled with: “And I can hardly get myself out of her bed / For fear of never lying in this bed again.” The self-awareness is startling, though — in the same breath, he admits the love affair is over before it even began. – </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Candace McDuffie</span></em></p>

<p> </p>
<h2 dir="ltr">23. Sunny Day Real Estate – “48”</h2>
<p>Lyrics have never been crucial to the Sunny Day Real Estate experience — hell, the band’s hastily recorded second album didn’t even have finished words! (“In a lot of cases, we never sat down to write them, because we just wanted to get it out of the way as fast as possible,” singer-guitarist Jeremy Enigk <a href="https://books.google.com/books?id=FI4eaajjC7sC&pg=PA193&lpg=PA193&dq=%22In+a+lot+of+cases,+we+never+sat+down+to+write+them,+because+we+just+wanted+to+get+it+out+of+the+way+as+fast+as+possible,%22&source=bl&ots=Eww2gZn23q&sig=ACfU3U2SZBBjx9TYBvbmB5i-seo1SHYxYQ&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiA64H_1_j1AhWTFjQIHUl2AskQ6AF6BAgCEAM#v=onepage&q=%22In%20a%20lot%20of%20cases%2C%20we%20never%20sat%20down%20to%20write%20them%2C%20because%20we%20just%20wanted%20to%20get%20it%20out%20of%20the%20way%20as%20fast%20as%20possible%2C%22&f=false">noted</a> in 2008. “So I just sang a lot of gibberish, which makes it really quirky.”) Naturally, their lyrics tend to be impressionistic — and “48,” a devastating slow-burn from their beloved 1994 debut, <em>Diary</em>, is no exception, with Enigk murmuring stuff like, “The suffering moved and breathed our hands sillhouettes against the sky.” But his tortured delivery — along with the quartet’s quiet-loud/clean-distorted dynamic — renders any painful line romantic, particularly the opening admission: “I lost myself when I looked in your eyes.” How’s that for concrete? – <em>Ryan Reed</em></p>

<p> </p>
<h2 dir="ltr">22. Say Anything – “I Want to Know Your Plans”</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Alongside satirical anthems that explode with sarcasm and bombast is “I Want To Know Your Plans,” an intimate ballad that still flexes his unorthodox lyricism: “If you could forgive me for being so brash, well, you / You could hit me or whip me; I’d savor each lash.” Max Bemis’ weirdness surprisingly works in this more serious serenade, only making his declarations of devotion sound more sincere. It’s a brief moment of refuge on a chaotic album, emblematic of the way this love has become an oasis for Bemis himself: “You’re what keeps me believing the world’s not gone dead / Strength in my bones put the words in my head.” – <em>D.C.</em></span></p>

<p> </p>
<h2 dir="ltr">21. Mineral – “Gloria”</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Moreso than their second-wave peers in The Promise Ring, Sunny Day Real Estate, and American Football, Mineral managed to streamline the explosive catharsis that fueled the genre’s early hardcore-adjacent precursors. The Austin-via-Houston quartet’s raw 1997 debut, </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Power of Failing</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">, found a devastating meeting ground between bristling power chords and frontman Chris Simpson’s aching vocals. On “Gloria,” a gut-wrenching ode to unrequited love, his chorus wavers with a passion bordering on obsession: “‘Cause I just want to be / Something more than the mud in your eyes / I want to be the clay in your hands.” – </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Owen Morawitz</span></em></p>

<h2>20. Taking Back Sunday – “MakeDamnSure”</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Taking Back Sunday’s 2006 major label debut, </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Louder Now</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">, maintained the pop-punk kings’ signature sound, but their usual snot-nosed and ready-to-fist-fight lyrics had notably matured. “There wasn’t any kind of conscious decision on my part or anybody else, like, ‘Okay, we need to stop being so melodramatic with our lyrics,’” vocalist Adam Lazzara told </span><a href="https://www.avclub.com/makedamnsure-at-15-how-taking-back-sunday-s-louder-n-1846608802"><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">AV Club</span></em></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> in 2021. While the band isn’t exactly known for </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">romantic</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;"> love songs, “MakeDamnSure” is about as close as they get. Bordering on the darker side, “We lay together, just not too close” is a grown-up and forbiddenly sexy lyric about staying chaste — whether by choice, or not — with the one you want most. – <em>L.M.B.</em></span></p>

<h2 dir="ltr">19. The Get Up Kids – “I’ll Catch You”</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Mostly quiet with one loud part, this slice from the dawn of Midwest emo relies on tumbling piano chords to set the mood, closing out the emotional Chernobyl of 1999’s </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Something to Write Home About</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;"> with a declaration of unshakeable love. It’s a resolution in a few different senses of the word, but one that seems hard and maybe just barely won. It wouldn’t be much more than a slender lullaby without the exultant bridge/breakdown toward the end. That’s the loud part, where Matt Pryor bellows, “I can see everything, everything” over crashing power chords. It adds a single, triumphant fist pump to a track that would otherwise be too tender. Who says love isn’t a victory march? – </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Beverly Bryan</span></em></p>

<p> </p>
<h2 dir="ltr">18. Fall Out Boy – “Homesick at Space Camp”</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Before they were selling out stadiums and popping up in teen rom-com cameos, Chicago pop-punkers Fall Out Boy were a bunch of hardcore nerds who wanted to </span><a href="https://www.altpress.com/features/ap_299_feature_patrick_stump_discusses_fall_out_boy_2013/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">jam out to Saves The Day covers</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. And this subcultural cross-pollination proved to be a secret weapon on their monster 2003 debut, </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Take This To Your Grave</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">. “Homesick at Space Camp” — a Side-A sleeper hit on a record practically overflowing with now-iconic tracks — is Fall Out Boy at their most earnest. The track’s infectious instrumental props up frontman Patrick Stump’s super-sticky chorus, acting as both a universal affirmation of friendship and the personal sting of longing: “Tonight the headphones will deliver you the words that I can’t say / Tonight I’m writing you a million miles away.” – </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">O.M.</span></em></p>

<p> </p>
<h2 dir="ltr">17. Planes Mistaken For Stars – “Say Not a Word”</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This Denver-via-Peoria outfit might be an unexpected choice for this list. But one listen to 2004’s “Say Not A Word” makes their inclusion a no-brainer. As frontman Gared O’Donnell, who tragically </span><a href="https://www.spin.com/2021/11/gared-odonnell-planes-mistaken-for-stars-singer-dies-at-44/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">passed away last year</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> after a protracted battle with esophageal cancer, explained to Dan Ozzi in 2020, it’s “</span><a href="https://danozzi.substack.com/p/rank-your-records-planes-mistaken"><span style="font-weight: 400;">a song about fucking.</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">” Following a tense build-up and one of the most evocative opening lines in the post-hardcore canon (“I stared you down so hard I burnt your shadow to the wall”), Planes Mistaken For Stars launch into their volatile attack, while O’Donnell howls out his sexual frustrations through twilight allusions and a carnal call to action: “Say not a word, sister / Split down on me.” – <em>O.M.</em></span></p>

<p> </p>
<h2 dir="ltr">16. Balance and Composure – “Tiny Raindrop”</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Of course, this post-hardcore-leaning Philly group’s song about love is also a song about destruction. “</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">The line ‘I’ll be your tiny raindrop’ is me giving a warning that while everything is great at first, I will be the first to ruin things,” then-</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">vocalist Jon Simmons told </span><a href="https://www.altpress.com/news/balance_and_composure_stream_new_song_tiny_raindrop/"><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Alternative Press</span></em></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> upon the song’s 2013 release. Despite this tendency toward self-sabotage, “Tiny Raindrop” bursts with longing, determined to override the doubts: “So come with me, I’ll buy you a raincoat / Stay with me, I’m sick of this shameful.” The sonic landscape reverberates with urgency, the guitars caustic and intense. Though it’s dark, hope is in the periphery. – <em>D.C.</em></span></p>

<p> </p>
<h2 dir="ltr">15. The Starting Line – “Island (Float Away)”</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Starting Line has been unabashedly down for a good, hard crush since day one, making their songs a romantic mix CD staple in the early to mid-aughts. In 2007, the band released their final LP, </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Direction</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">, featuring “Island (Float Away),” which paints an image of a beautiful escape-turned-shipwreck and two lovers weathering the storm of poor timing. Frontman Kenny Vasoli begs his love to hold on just a little longer, promising a better life if they can just make it through this last hurdle. An allegory for love in the time of tour burnout? Possibly. A perfect swan song for a big-hearted band? Definitely. – <em>L.M.B.</em></span></p>

<p> </p>
<h2 dir="ltr">14. Alkaline Trio – “Clavicle”</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The legend goes that Alkaline Trio singer-guitarist Matt Skiba penned this song about his then-girlfriend, back when he was still a bike messenger. (Actually, hardcore AT obsessives say she inspired </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">all </span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">of his songs on the </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Goddamnit </span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">album.) While “Clavicle” is brisk in its pop-punk fun, the lyrical lust/longing (“</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">It’s been a hellish plight to not think about you all the time / Sitting around waiting for your call”)</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> is a universal construct that awkward folks waiting for reciprocal affection will relate to — regardless if they carry fake IDs or social security cards. – <em>J.P.</em></span></p>
<p> </p>
<div class="ast-oembed-container"><iframe style="width: 700px; height: 394px;" title="Alkaline Trio - " src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ksy13DPbVkY?feature=oembed" width="700" height="394" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p> </p>
<h2 dir="ltr">13. Weezer – “Falling for You”</h2>
<p><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Pinkerton </span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">might just be the granddaddy of all emo albums. Weezer’s 1996 LP covers all the bases: longing, heartbreak, sexual frustration — and, of course, love. On “Falling for You,” Rivers Cuomo laments his sweet surrender to a beau who “says ‘like’ too much” and perfectly summarizes the self-conscious emo dilemma with the question, “What could you possibly see in little ol’ three-chord me?” Though Cuomo spent years disavowing the album for its overtly personal lyrics, fan support eventually made him come around. Sure, </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Pinkerton</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;"> can get a little into LiveJournal territory, but it sure does tickle the heart strings. – <em>L.M.B.</em></span></p>
<p> </p>

<p> </p>
<h2 dir="ltr">12. Paramore – “The Only Exception”</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">An out-of-character not-so-power ballad, “The Only Exception” finds Hayley Williams in a downbeat mood, gazing at romantic love through gray-tinted glasses and calling it realism. “</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">I’m content with loneliness / Because none of it was ever worth the risk</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">,” the singer mopes in time with a foot-dragging waltz strummed on acoustic guitar. The song ticks lots of emo boxes: precocious world-weariness, pre-emptive self-protection; then Hayley tips her hand. “But darling, you are the only exception,” she sings. </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">This</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;"> guy is worth the risk. The song closes on a fragile note: “I’m on my way to believing.” Wistful, if not yet hopeful, perfection. – </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">B.B.</span></em></p>

<p> </p>
<h2 dir="ltr">11. blink-182 – “I Miss You”</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">From the </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Nightmare Before Christmas </span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">references (“We can live like Jack and Sally if we want”) to the dark and brooding video to the way Tom DeLonge enunciates the word “head” as “yed,” this emo/pop-punk megahit from blink-182’s self-titled LP is pretty much the peak of 2000s Hot Topic love songs. While Tom, Mark, and Travis would never abandon their punk roots to get quite as heartfelt as, say, Chris Carrabba, “I Miss You” is, was, and always will be a strong ballad by any metric. – <em>J.C.</em></span></p>
<p> </p>

<p> </p>
<h2 dir="ltr">10. The Used – “I Caught Fire”</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">From the cataclysmic opening guitar chords to the lyrical pining of frontman Bert McCracken, “I Caught Fire” is one of The Used’s most sentient songs. The third single from their second album, 2004’s </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">In Love and Death</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">, is uncharacteristically romantic in imagery and impressively mellifluous in execution. Though a tad mushy, the song’s chorus (“And I’m melting / In your eyes / Like my first time / That I caught fire / Just stay with me, lay with me now”) is also disarmingly sweet. “I Caught Fire” is the band’s first true love song — the Utah natives finally revealed a crack in their armor, with mesmerizing results. – </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">C.M.</span></em></p>

<p> </p>
<h2 dir="ltr">9. Dashboard Confessional – “Stolen”</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Dashboard Confessional’s 2006 breakout ballad, “Stolen,” will whisk you down the rabbit hole of nostalgia back into a wistful moment of youth, when “cloudy-eyed” celebrations often took place on bathroom floors. Frontman Chris Carrabba’s glacial high notes and sickeningly sweet whispers are a highlight of the group’s fourth LP, <em>Dusk And Summer</em>, conjuring the vulnerability of unrequited love. “Stolen” expanded the blueprint of classic emo to reveal a softer, more melodic perspective, solidifying Dashboard Confessional as a mainstay of the genre. And where romance is concerned, what chorus hits harder than “You have stolen my heart”? –</span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Paige Owens</span></em></p>

<p> </p>
<h2 dir="ltr">8. Say Anything – “Alive With the Glory of Love”</h2>
<p>Both earnest and uncouth, Say Anything’s most famous song is also one of their most deceptively weird — envisioning how even the bleakest situations can’t wither true romance. “My grandparents were Holocaust survivors, which struck a chord with me,” Max Bemis told <a href="https://old.post-gazette.com/pg/06215/710568-42.stm"><em>The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette</em></a> of this 2006 epic. “I thought about what it would be like to be in love and be separated from the person you love, because these times are just as dire in a way.” Knowing that context is crucial: A line like “When I watch you, want to do you, right where you’re standing” <em>almost</em> sounds kinda profound. But even without the backstory, it’s hard not to swoon over that group-shouted chorus of “I won’t let them take you.” – <em>R.R.</em></p>
<p> </p>

<p> </p>
<h2 dir="ltr">7. Joyce Manor – “Falling in Love Again”</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Falling in Love Again” might be the best emo song about liking someone’s friends. One-time </span><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EvIGgN-McsY"><span style="font-weight: 400;">constant headache</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Barry Johnson now feels OK in the company of the people who matter to someone he likes. They share birthday drugs. And now he has money; maybe this could work. This Smiths-like attention to detail makes Joyce Manor, legitimate stars of emo’s Tumblr era, stand out in all their songs, and “Falling in Love Again” captures that fleeting yet vital moment when someone with a history of love and heartbreak realizes that they might be in the right place at the right time for something new. – <em>B.G.</em></span></p>
<p> </p>
<div class="ast-oembed-container"><iframe style="width: 696px; height: 392px;" title="Joyce Manor - " src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/nQ7A9cW1-Nc?feature=oembed" width="696" height="392" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p> </p>
<h2 dir="ltr">6. Bright Eyes – “First Day Of My Life”</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Between modestly plucked acoustics and Conor Oberst’s poetic lyrics, Bright Eyes’ “ First Day Of My Life” offers a sense of transformation and new beginnings — both for the listener and the narrator, whose new love interest proclaims, “I’m glad I didn’t die before I met you.” Despite the sweetness, Bright Eyes still evoke the melancholy of their earliest work. But Oberst’s lyrical weight shifts here, demonstrating the naive hopefulness that new love offers. “First Day Of My Life” puts you back in that feeling, helping you believe that hope springs eternal. – <em>P.O.</em></span></p>
<p> </p>
<div class="ast-oembed-container"><iframe style="width: 699px; height: 524px;" title="Bright Eyes - First Day of My Life [Official Music Video]" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/xUBYzpCNQ1I?feature=oembed" width="699" height="524" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p> </p>
<h2 dir="ltr">5. Paramore – “Still Into You”</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It’s a shame, but there aren’t too many songs that make long-term relationships sound awesome. One exception: Paramore’s “Still Into You,” which shows just how convincing and electric an ode to a steady date can be. On this ferociously romantic and hooky pop-punk heater, latter-day emo’s leading lady Hayley Williams testifies with mild consternation (this is emo; you can’t just be happy) that, with the right person, the infatuation stage never really has to end — even through tough times. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">The relationship that inspired the song</span> <a href="https://www.altpress.com/news/hayley_williams_and_chad_gilbert_announce_split/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">may not have lasted</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, but this jam is forever. – <em>B.B.</em></span></p>

<p> </p>
<h2 dir="ltr">4. Dashboard Confessional – “Hands Down”</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Dashboard Confessional’s teen romance anthem is one of their most popular singles, defining a generation of older millennials screaming the lyrics in their car with the windows rolled down. (One such fan: Taylor Swift,</span><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MkdbYlqUXG0"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">who enthusiastically belted the song live</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> with Hayley Williams and Chris Carraba himself.</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">) With Carraba pining over heart-pumping palm mutes, the fast-paced track remains a perfect first date soundtrack, capturing the butterflies of a blooming romance. There’s no lyric quite as emo as “My hopes are so high that your kiss might kill me / So won’t you kill me so I die happy.” – <em>N.B.</em></span></p>
<p> </p>
<div class="ast-oembed-container"><iframe style="width: 699px; height: 524px;" title="Hands Down" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/V_4qNnbbtsY?feature=oembed" width="699" height="524" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p> </p>
<h2 dir="ltr">3. Death Cab for Cutie – “I Will Follow You Into the Dark”</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It’s so simple: One day, you will die, and I’ll be right there with you. Without the usual trappings of emo – loud and whiny guitars, dudes being afraid of their feelings – Ben Gibbard uses one acoustic guitar to say exactly what he means. He doesn’t need to wait to be left by someone to share what he would do for this person. Love as an act, not a feeling – ironically, this could be the most Catholic definition of love for the band (and perhaps song) that introduced the O.C. Generation to emo. – <em>B.G.</em></span></p>

<p> </p>
<h2 dir="ltr">2. Jets to Brazil – “Sweet Avenue”</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Sweet Avenue” enters at the end of a perfect date, that first moment alone to process the feeling that your whole world just changed. “This day could someday be an anniversary,” singer Blake Schwarzenbach proclaims, full of wonder and hope. The former Jawbreaker frontman made his name writing brutally poetic lyrics amid the harsh, noisy punk rock of that band, but Jets to Brazil was a different beast, and “Sweet Avenue” sets his altogether sweeter lyricism to acoustic guitar and meandering bass lines. It’s the stuff of wedding dances as he sings, “Thank you for making me see there’s a life in me / It was dying to get out.” – <em>M.H.</em></span></p>
<p> </p>
<div class="ast-oembed-container"><iframe style="width: 700px; height: 525px;" title="Sweet Avenue" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/CVpJGPZcERo?feature=oembed" width="700" height="525" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p> </p>
<h2 dir="ltr">1. Jimmy Eat World – “For Me This Is Heaven”</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“The first star I see may not be a star / We can’t do a thing but wait, so let’s wait for one more” — for Jimmy Eat World diehards, those lines are enough to stir up butterflies. “For Me This Is Heaven” comes from the band’s 1999 classic </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Clarity, </span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">and much like the rest of that album, it’s a rich, musically gorgeous experience. As for the lyrics — well, this is an emo band, so it’s not a straightforward love song. It’s a love song that’s about endings, and believing that love is worth it, despite their inevitability. It’s sad, romantic, and truly</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">beautiful. – <em>M.H.</em></span></p>
<p> </p>

Blige, and Kendrick Lamar Tear the House Down...<!--[CDATA[<p-->
<p>Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige, and Kendrick Lamar took the Super Bowl LVI stage during halftime and unsurprisingly tore the house down. They stampeded through a slew of their greatest hits, with Dre and Snoop serving as the de facto emcees. The <a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/super-bowl">Super Bowl Halftime Show</a> was befitting for the Big Game, which took place at Los Angeles’ SoFi Stadium.</p>
<p>Opening with Dre and Snoop’s “The Next Episode,” the stage was a replica studio, house and buildings that served as a tribute to Los Angeles. They went into “California Love” before 50 Cent popped up to perform a verse from “In Da Club.” Following Fiddy’s cameo, Blige hit the stage for “Family Affair” and “No More Drama.” Then Kendrick Lamar hopped on stage for “m.a.a.d. city” and “Alright.” Eminem (who would take a knee in support of Colin Kaepernick) then performed “Lose Yourself” to a sea of cameras. Dre and Snoop closed th set with 1999’s “Still D.R.E” from <em>2001</em>.</p>
<p>The all-star performance also featured Anderson .Paak on drums throughout.</p>

<p>Blige divulged in a recent interview that she didn’t get paid for her part in the halftime show, but took the gig anyway.</p>
<p>“Listen, you’re gonna be paid for the rest of your life off of this,” she told <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CZx9R77ltZn"><em>The Cruz Show</em></a><em>. </em>“People are gonna be knocking at your doors. They don’t have to pay me, but if they was paying it would be a lot of money.”</p>
<p>As for Snoop, he’s found himself making headlines for reasons unrelated to the highly anticipated performance. His latest album <em>B.O.D.R. </em>came out on Friday, and earlier this week it was announced that he was the <a href="https://www.spin.com/2022/02/snoop-dogg-is-now-the-owner-of-death-row-records/">new owner</a> of Death Row Records. However, it wasn’t all positive news. The legendary rapper was <a href="https://www.spin.com/2022/02/snoop-dogg-sued-for-alleged-sexual-assault-in-2013/">accused of sexual assault</a> from an incident that allegedly occurred in 2013. Snoop denied the accusations, calling the defendant a “gold digger.”</p>
<p>Prior to the Super Bowl Halftime Show, the last time Dre and Snoop formally performed together was at Coachella in 2012.</p>

<p>Kodak Black and two other people were shot following an altercation outside a <a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/justin-bieber">Justin Bieber</a> after party at The Nice Guy club in Los Angeles. As <em><a href="https://www.tmz.com/2022/02/12/justin-bieber-shooting-after-party-the-nice-guy/">TMZ</a></em> reports, the rapper was standing outside with fellow hip-hop artists Gunna and DaBaby, as well as other friends, when a fight broke out on the street that involved Kodak’s crew.</p>
<p>The 24-year-old jumped in to help one of his guys and took a swing at the assailant. That’s when a gunman open fired. Local authorities say 10 shots were fired total. Kodak was hit in the leg by a bullet, and two other people, ages 19 and 60, were also shot. A fourth victim was injured in another way. All four were taken to the hospital where they’re in stable condition with non-life-threatening injuries.</p>
<p>It is unclear if the shooter was the same person who Kodak fended off his friend. The suspect(s) are still at large.</p>
<p>The incident took place in the early hours of Saturday morning, around 2:45 a.m., following Bieber’s performance at West Hollywood’s Pacific Design Center. Kodak was in town for Super Bowl weekend and decided to hit up the star-studded after party that’s guest list included Drake, Leo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire, Kendall Jenner and Khloe Kardashian.</p>

<p>In the advert for General Motors, Myers reprises his role as Dr. Evil alongside Seth Green as son Scott and Mindy Sterling as Frau Farbissina.</p>
<p>Rob Lowe also returns as the younger version of Number 2 from the 1999 sequel <em>Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me</em>. The older Number 2 in the original film, <em>Austin Powers: International Man Of Mystery</em>, was played by Robert Wagner, who doesn’t make an appearance in the commercial.</p>
<p>The advert sees Dr. Evil and his henchman take control of General Motors, where they get into a dispute over tackling climate change – AKA “the number one threat to the world now”.</p>
<p>Scott reveals he’s also had a child named Kyle, who Dr. Evil tries to dub ‘Baby Me’.</p>

<p>The last film released in the franchise was <em>Austin Powers In Goldmember</em> in 2002, which starred <a href="https://www.nme.com/artists/beyonce" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Beyoncé</a> as Foxxy Cleopatra.</p>
<p>Myers previously <a href="https://www.nme.com/news/tv/mike-myers-brings-back-dr-evil-to-take-aim-at-trump-2282968#4JVDiTi7kKZDCkFP.99" target="_blank" rel="noopener">returned as Dr Evil for a comedy sketch on <em>The Tonight Show</em></a> back in 2018, where he was portrayed as an ousted Trump cabinet member.</p>
<p>Rumours of a fourth film in the franchise have circulated for years, although trilogy director <a href="https://www.nme.com/news/austin-powers-director-speaks-out-on-the-chances-of-a-fourth-movie-2534248" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jay Roach previously cast doubt on the possibility of another entry</a> following the death of Verne Troyer, who played Dr. Evil’s sidekick Mini-Me.</p>
<div id="jwplayer-video-HAKuSGd6"></div>
<p>“We’ve been trying to think up an idea that could earn a fourth film for a long time, but it’s always up to Mike. He and I always thought there was more to do with Dr. Evil,” Roach said in 2019.</p>
<p>He added: “To be honest, I don’t know how we’d do it without Verne. We always had ideas of revealing a whole life that he had that would have taken his character much further. If Mike cracks it and figures it out, we would definitely do some kind of tribute to him. I’m there if he ever wants to do it.”</p>

<p>‘Diplo’ is set for release on March 4 via the Higher Ground imprint of the producer’s own Mad Decent label.</p>
<p>Jasper Goggins, Mad Decent label head and Diplo’s collaborator for more than 20 years, said in a statement that the upcoming album is “a fantastic and cohesive self-titled work that will stand as a career-defining moment”.</p>
<p>“The features and collaborations may look like contemporary industry algorithmic engineering, but this album is actually purpose built for Diplo’s favourite places to play in the world; a testament to his almost absurd and undying love of DJing live in front of people,” he added.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/the-head-and-the-heart/">The Head and the Heart</a> released their latest single “Virginia (Wind In The Night),” the second single off of their upcoming album, <em>Every Shade of Blue</em>. This bittersweet track showcases the band playing to their strengths: a sturdy piano sound garnished with strings and perfectly paired with Jonathan Russell’s evocative lyrics.</p>
<p>Russell drew inspiration for this single from the concept of place and how we interpret the meaning of physical locations.</p>
<p>”Being from Virginia, for me this song represents a long and winding relationship to place – a place that is grounding. I’m often drawing on my life through symbolism as a way into someone else’s psyche,” Russell said in a statement. “It’s part of my search for a deeper connection without having to compare our experiences directly. There is a reason this song has two titles. One is literal and one is symbolic. Not everyone is from Virginia, I know that. But I bet you have walked home and heard the wind in the night.”</p>

<p> </p>
<p>To accompany the release of their upcoming April album, The Head and the Heart are hitting the <a href="https://theheadandtheheart.com/">road</a> in late May with Shakey Graves, Dawes, and Jade Bird joining as special guests.</p>
<p>“It’s wild to think that by the time we get back on the road this year, it will have been over 2 and a half years since we last toured,” says the band. “We’re so excited to bring new songs to life on stage every night, traveling alongside artists who inspire us. We can’t wait to get out there, doing what we do with an even greater sense of gratitude.”</p>
<p>The Head and the Heart’s <em>Every Shade of Blue </em>is out on April 29 on Warner Records.</p>

<p>The track is the latest preview of the singer-songwriter’s fifth studio album, which is due to arrive at some point this year. Following on from 2018’s <a href="https://www.nme.com/reviews/kate-nash-yesterday-was-forever-2280179">‘Yesterday Was Forever’</a>, the record will also feature the 2021 songs <a href="https://www.nme.com/news/music/kate-nash-shares-melancholic-new-single-horsie-and-announces-uk-tour-3039660">‘Horsie’</a> and <a href="https://www.nme.com/news/music/kate-nash-new-single-misery-listen-tour-2944186">‘Misery’</a>.</p>

</ul>
<p>“My co-star Kimmy Gatewood and some of our brilliant writers Rachel Shukert and Sascha Rothchild from <a href="https://www.nme.com/news/tv/kate-nash-opens-up-about-future-of-glow-its-never-completely-the-end-these-days-2974376"><em>GLOW</em> </a>asked me if I could write a tween pop anthem for an episode of <a href="https://www.nme.com/news/tv/netflix-remake-the-baby-sitters-club-series-trailer-2694060"><em>The Babysitters Club</em></a> (<a href="https://www.nme.com/tag/netflix">Netflix</a>) that they were all working on,” Nash explained of how ‘Imperfect’ came about.</p>
<p>“I’ve been writing for TV, film and musical theatre recently and it’s been so liberating as I get to explore different sides of being a songwriter. With ‘Imperfect’ I was able to sink quickly back into the mind of my 13-year-old self and sing through my hairbrush once again.”</p>
<p>Nash went on to say that the single was inspired by “the pop women of my teenage years, women like Stacie Orrico, Michelle Branch, Vanessa Carlton and Ashlee Simpson”.</p>
<p><iframe title="Imperfect" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/vmfTZSao3M4?feature=oembed" width="696" height="522" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" loading="lazy"></iframe></p>
<p>“While I put finishing touches on my album I thought I should just release this song as it’s so uplifting and fun and why the hell not,” she continued. “Please play it loud whilst applying lip gloss, white eyeliner and ironing the collar on your school shirt.”</p>
<p>In the track, Nash sings of the pressures to “<em>be smart, be cute, be nice, be better</em>” and tells the listener that she’s “<em>just trying to be me</em>“.</p>
<p>“<em>My skin is tough, but I am soft underneath/ Imperfect, but perfectly me</em>,” its euphoric chorus goes.</p>

<div id="jwplayer-video-4uTd9GYq"></div>
<p>A press release adds that the singer is currently “hatching plans” in terms of celebrating the 15th anniversary of her 2007 debut album, ‘Made Of Bricks’.</p>

<p>After Billie Eilish threw shade at Travis Scott at her concert on Saturday in Atlanta by saying “I wait for people to be OK before I keep going” after pausing the show to get a struggling fan an inhaler, <a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/kanye-west">Kanye West</a> took to Instagram on Thursday to take issue with pop star.</p>
<p>West and Eilish are of course both set to headline Coachella this year, but apparently that might not happen if Eilish doesn’t apologize to Scott. The all-caps no-punctuation rant on the rapper’s IG reads as follows:</p>
<p>“COME ON BILLIE WE LOVE YOU PLEASE APOLOGIZE TO TRAV AND TO THE FAMILIES OF THE PEOPLE WHO LOST THEIR LIVES NO ONE INTENDED THIS TO HAPPEN TRAV DIDN’T HAVE ANY IDEA OF WHAT WAS HAPPENING WHEN HE WAS ON STAGE AND WAS VERY HURT BY WHAT HAPPENED AND YES TRAV WILL BE WITH ME AT COACHELLA BUT NOW I NEED BILLIE TO APOLOGIZE BEFORE I PERFORM”</p>
<p>Would Ye really pull out of Coachella over a throwaway line from Eilish about a situation that pretty much everyone on Earth agrees was absolutely awful from all parties involved? Well, it’s 2022. And it’s Kanye. So we really can’t rule out anything.</p>
<p>The message is accompanied by a screenshot of another Instagram post showing Eilish’s quote directed at Scott. You can see the whole thing below.</p>

<p>Raise your hand if you this coming. OK, put it down. <a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/doja-cat">Doja Cat</a> has teamed up with Taco Bell and performed a cover of Hole’s “Celebrity Skin” for the fast-food joint’s Super Bowl commercial this year.</p>
<p>The commercial deemed “The Grande Escape,” features the 1998 song that includes newly reworked lyrics in partnership with Courtney Love herself. The single arrives on streaming services on February 11, via RCA Records. Prior to the big game, Doja and Taco gave us a sneak peek today by releasing the commercial’s behind-the-scenes video.</p>
<p> </p>
<div class="ast-oembed-container"><iframe style="width: 700px; height: 394px;" title='Behind the Scenes - "Celebrity Skin" cover by Doja Cat' src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/4u6R4o2gXNA?feature=oembed" width="700" height="394" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p> </p>
<p>“It’s no secret I’m a major Taco Bell fan which has made my role with this campaign all the more fun,” Doja Cat said in a statement. “I’ve enjoyed every moment of this campaign, especially the ones where we get to break all the rules, and look forward to continuing collaborating with the brand.”</p>
<p>“The Grande Escape” is scheduled to air during the fourth quarter on Sunday’s matchup between the Cincinnati Bengals and Los Angeles Rams.</p>
<p>“Doja Cat is a one-of-a-kind artist and it’s incredibly exciting to see her conquering yet another music genre with her cover of ‘Celebrity Skin’—her artistry never fails to impress,” COO of RCA Records, John Fleckenstein, said.</p>
<p>In other Doja Cat news, the pop princess is set to perform both weekends at<a href="https://www.spin.com/2022/01/coachella-2022-lineup/"> this year’s Coachella</a> on Sunday, April 17 and 24.</p>

<li><strong>READ MORE: <a href="https://www.nme.com/features/opinion/elon-musk-jurassic-park-ficitonal-worlds-2926020">Elon Musk’s tech could create Jurassic Park? He should build these fictional worlds instead</a></strong></li>
</ul>
<p><em>Dominion</em>, which is the third installment in the <a href="https://www.nme.com/tag/jurassic-world">Jurassic World</a> trilogy and the finale to the entire Jurassic Park saga to date, arrives in UK and US cinemas on June 10.</p>
<p>In the first official trailer, we see events unfolding four years after the conclusion to<a href="https://www.nme.com/reviews/jurassic-world-film-review-2333571-2333571#:~:text=There's%20a%20whole%20second%20plot,that's%20most%20of%20the%20job."><em> Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom</em></a> (2018). Since the establishment of a neo-Jurassic age at the end of that film – a world in which humans and dinosaurs co-exist – it’s clear that the plan has backfired and humans become dinosaurs’ prey and playthings.</p>
<p>Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard star as dino-whisperer Owen Grady and ex Jurassic Park operations manager Claire Dearing respectively. They are joined by the original <em>Jurassic Park</em> (1993) trio of Jeff Goldblum, Laura Dern and Sam Neill as Dr Ian Malcolm, Dr Ellie Sattler and Dr Alan Grant, respectively.</p>

<p>In the trailer there are ample nods to the original movies as Dern recreates Neill’s sunglasses off moment from the first movie. The clip ends with an updated “don’t move” franchise sequence.</p>
<p><em>Jurassic World: Dominion</em> also sees Justice Smith reprise his role as Franklin Webb, Daniella Pineda as Dr Zia Rodriguez and Omar Sy as Barry Sembenè. Newcomers include DeWanda Wise, Mamoudou Athie, Dichen Lachman and Scott Haze.</p>
<p>BD Wong returns as Dr Henry Wu and Dr Lewis Dodgson will also be seen for the first time since the original movie, although this time he’s played by Campbell Scott and not Cameron Thor.</p>
<p>Last year, <a href="https://www.nme.com/news/film/jurassic-world-dominion-conclude-series-director-colin-trevorrow-2861785">director Colin Trevorrow confirmed that the <em>Jurassic World</em> film series will conclude after </a><em><a href="https://www.nme.com/news/film/jurassic-world-dominion-conclude-series-director-colin-trevorrow-2861785">Dominion</a>.</em></p>
<p>Reflecting on the future and eventual end of the film series, Trevorrow told <a href="https://ew.com/movies/jurassic-world-dominion-camp-cretaceous-connection/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Entertainment Weekly</em></a>: “To me, [<em>Dominion</em>] is a culmination of one story that’s been told.</p>
<p>“When you got to the end of the <em>Jurassic Park</em> trilogy, it may not have been as clear in what the complete story of those three movies was because they were a bit more episodic in the way that they were approached. But this trilogy is not that way.”</p>

<p><em>Jurassic World Dominion </em>is the sixth installment in the Jurassic Park franchise overall following <em>Jurassic Park </em>(1993), <em>The Lost World: Jurassic Park </em>(1997), <em>Jurassic Park III </em>(2001), <em>Jurassic World </em>(2015) and <em>Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom </em>(2018)<em>.</em></p>

<p>Over the past few years, Death Row Records has had some curious owners (to <a href="https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/hasbro-death-row-records-entertainment-one-875805/">put</a> <a href="https://www.cbr.com/hasbro-sells-death-row-records-wu-tang-clan/">it</a> mildly). Now, the label is coming home (sort of). <a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/snoop-dogg">Snoop Dogg</a> has agreed to a deal with MNRK Music Group, which is owned by private equity fund Blackstone, to become the new owner of the label where he got his start.</p>
<p>The terms of the deal weren’t disclosed, but a person familiar with the situation tells <em>SPIN </em>that it is expected to include the label’s catalog. The only thing that’s been officially confirmed so far is that Snoop is the owner of the Death Row Records brand.</p>
<p>The timing couldn’t be better for Snoop. His new album, <em>B.O.D.R. </em>is out this Friday, and he’s <a href="https://www.spin.com/2021/09/dr-dre-kendrick-lamar-eminem-mary-j-blige-snoop-dogg-super-bowl/">performing</a> at the Super Bowl this Sunday with Dr. Dre, Eminem, Kendrick Lamar, Mary J. Blige and more.</p>
<p>“I am thrilled and appreciative of the opportunity to acquire the iconic and culturally significant Death Row Records brand, which has immense untapped future value,” Snoop said in a release. “It feels good to have ownership of the label I was part of at the beginning of my career and as one of the founding members. This is an extremely meaningful moment for me. I would like to personally thank the teams at Blackstone, MNRK and especially David Kestnbaum, who worked collaboratively with me over several months to make this exciting homecoming a reality. I’m looking forward to building the next chapter of Death Row Records.”</p>
<p>Famously, Snoop first appeared on Dr. Dre’s <em>The Chronic </em>in 1992. He’d go on to release 1993’s <em>Doggystyle </em>and <em>Tha Doggfather </em>in 1996 on Death Row. He’d leave in 1998 to join Master P’s No Limit label. However, Snoop remains one of the most recognizable faces from the label’s peak era.</p>

<p>On Tuesday night (February 8), Sheeran <a href="https://www.nme.com/news/music/ed-sheeran-bring-me-the-horizon-brit-awards-2022-3156942">teamed up with the metal group for a reworked version of his 2021 track ‘Bad Habits’</a> to open the <a href="https://www.nme.com/news/music/brit-awards-2022-winners-list-3156868">BRIT Awards</a> 2022.</p>

</ul>
<p>Speaking to<em> The Daily Star</em> (via <em><a href="https://www.list.co.uk/article/133033-ed-sheeran-and-bring-me-the-horizon-writing-heavy-metal-collaboration/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The List</a></em>), Sheeran said that getting to perform with Bring Me The Horizon was “a dream” and they’re now “going to write a song together”.</p>
<p>“I got in touch with [<a href="https://www.nme.com/artists/oli-sykes">Oli Sykes</a>] and we were going to write together but then the pandemic happened, so we were in touch – I’ve been a fan for a long time,” he said. “Oddly enough, that’s the kind of music I grew up listening to.”</p>
<p>Elsewhere in the interview, Sheeran said: “’Bad Habits’ would be a bit of a wet fart if I was just going up there [at the BRITs] and playing it normally. The song is EDM, and [Bring Me The Horizon have] took it and made it a whole new thing. I was just like, ‘You know what, these guitars are going to be great’.”</p>

<p>“It was a week’s turnaround – we emailed each other two weeks ago, recorded it a week ago and rehearsed it three days ago,” continued the pop star, seemingly confirming that a studio recording of the track exists.</p>
<p>It’s not the first time that Sheeran has spoken about a heavy metal collaboration either. <a href="https://www.nme.com/artists/cradle-of-filth">Cradle Of Filth</a>’s Dani Filth hinted at a future collaboration with the singer after Sheeran revealed that he was “<a href="https://www.nme.com/news/music/ed-sheeran-says-he-would-not-be-opposed-to-creating-a-death-metal-album-2992978">really into death metal as a kid</a>”.</p>
<p>“<a href="https://www.nme.com/news/music/cradle-of-filth-dani-filth-hints-future-ed-sheeran-collaboration-3019604">I think the Ed Sheeran collaboration would be great fun</a>,” said Filth. “I think it’d be great if we did it for charity because at least it would bring a bit of credibility to it. Because obviously to his public, it’d be like ‘Oh my god, he’s got this weird comical guy’, and to my public, it’d be like ‘Oh my god, this is a bit weird, isn’t it?’ But I think that sort of thing, nowadays, works.”</p>

<p><a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/caroline-polachek">Caroline Polachek</a> is back with her first single since 2020 with “Billions.” The track emplores elements of psychedelia with an angelic feature of London’s celebrated Trinity Choir. Polacheck recorded and released the song after months of fan anticipation from her frequent live performances of the song last year.</p>
<p>“Billions” was produced by Polacheck in collaboration with Danny L Harle. Along with the single, the singer released an ethereal accompanying video, directed by Polacheck and frequent visual collaborator Matt Copson.</p>
<div class="ast-oembed-container"><iframe style="width: 700px; height: 394px;" title="Caroline Polachek - Billions (Official Video)" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/4zEQJrggKgk?feature=oembed" width="700" height="394" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p> </p>
<p>“The overabundance of this world overwhelms me,” Polacheck said in a statement the themes of “Billions.” “Sometimes it seems like ultimate tragedy, the earth being pillaged and destroyed for it. Sometimes it seems pre-human, beyond morality, sublime. I don’t pick sides, I just live here, with you. How does it feel, being so rich?”</p>
<p>The release follows Polachek’s single “Bunny is a Rider” which rose to fan-favorite status and critical acclaim after its release last year, following her breakthrough album, 2019’s <em>PANG!</em> “Billions” gives fans a glimpse of what is to come for Polachek this year, showing that the pop superstar’s momentum hasn’t died down.</p>
<p>Polacheck will kick off performances for Dua Lipa’s Future Nostalgia tour tonight alongside Megan Thee Stallion and Lolo Zouaï. Her appearances on the tour include 28-dates, including a performance at the Coachella music festival in April. In addition to performances on the Future Nostalgia tour, Polachek will have headlining shows in Chattanooga, New Haven, Cleveland, St. Louis, Flagstaff, Santa Cruz, and Tacoma.

<p> has died at the age of 77. A statement on Davis’ <a href="https://www.betty-davis.com/">website</a> confirmed the news of her death. She died of natural causes</p>
<p>“At 4:40 a.m. EST on February 9, 2022, visionary singer, songwriter, producer, and fashion icon Betty Mabry Davis began her eternal rest,” the statement began.</p>
<p>“It is with great sadness that I share the news of the passing of Betty Davis, a multi-talented music influencer and pioneer rock star, singer, songwriter, and fashion icon. Most of all, Betty was a friend, aunt, niece, and beloved member of her community of Homestead, Pennsylvania, and of the worldwide community of friends and fans,” Connie Portis, Davis’ friend of 65 years, said.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/betty-davis-dead-obit-1297372/"><em>Rolling Stone</em></a> was first to report Davis’ death.</p>
<p>Born on July 26, 1944, Davis was born Betty Mabry. Her debut single, “Get Ready for Betty,” was released in 1964 and after a short marriage to composer Hugh Masekela, she began a relationship with Miles Davis. Betty is credited with introducing Miles to rock (she was friends with Jimi Hendrix and Sly Stone) and thus, began his jazz fusion phase. Following her divorce, Davis went on to pursue fashion modeling (which is what brought her to New York City as a 16-year-old before turning to music) before returning to music and creating her own songs.</p>
<p>With the release of <em>Betty Davis</em>, <em>They Say I’m Different</em> and <em>Nasty Gal </em>from 1973-1975, Davis cemented herself as an ahead-of-her-time force to be reckoned with. Two singles from that stretch of albums, “If I’m in Luck I Might Get Picked Up” and “Shut Off the Lights,” landed on Billboard’s R&B Singles chart. Other iconic Davis songs include the aforementioned “Get Ready for Betty” and “It’s My Life.”</p>
<p>Though her career would stall in the late 1970s mainly because the times weren’t ready for her (something she <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/22/arts/music/betty-davis-they-say-im-different-documentary.html">acknowledged</a>), Davis’ influence stretches far and wide. Her albums would go on to be appreciated long after their original release dates.</p>
<p>“One can hardly imagine Prince, Erykah Badu, or Outkast without the influence of Betty Davis. Her style of raw and revelatory punk-funk defies any notions that women can’t be visionaries in the worlds of rock and pop. In recent years, rappers from Ice Cube to Talib Kweli have rhymed over her intensely strong but sensual music,” the statement on her site said.</p>
<p>A documentary about her life was released in 2017.</p>

</ul>
<p>The singer and actor, who played Patrizia Reggiani in <em>House Of Gucci</em>, was left out of the Best Actress race at the Oscars despite earning nominations at other major award shows, like the BAFTAs, Golden Globes, SAG Awards and Critics Choice Awards.</p>
<p>In a post on Instagram, Gaga praised <em>House Of Gucci’s</em> makeup artist Frederic Aspiras – who earned the film’s only Oscar nomination in the Best Hair & Makeup category.</p>
<p>“I could not be happier for a man I call my brother, who I’ve worked with for the last 15 years, @fredericaspiras, for his nomination in Makeup & Hairstyling for House Of Gucci,” Gaga wrote.</p>

<p>“Frederic was magical, precise, and dedicated months leading up to shoot and during filming. He prepared dozens of wigs for months and months, and did at least a year of preparation. He’s a living genius and Freddie, we are all so grateful to just even be near your talent, creativity and generosity of spirit.”</p>
<p>Gaga also extended her congratulations to the rest of the nominees, adding: “To all the nominees this year, congratulations on all your hard work, dedication, your nomination and YOUR magic – you all deserve major recognition for what was a truly beautiful landscape of performances and accomplishments this past year.</p>
<p>“Your dedication during <a href="https://www.nme.com/tag/coronavirus" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Covid</a>, your huge hearts, and your ability to tell amazing stories is a gift to the whole world during what is for many a very hard time. Congratulations my friends. Bravo!”</p>

<p>As well as the live performance, her first at the BRITs since 2016’s rendition of ‘When We Were Young’, the singer was among the big winners at last night’s ceremony.</p>
<p>Adele took home three trophies on the night: Album Of The Year for <a href="https://www.nme.com/reviews/adele-30-album-review-dependable-pop-titan-finally-mixes-things-up-3096613">’30’</a>, Song Of The Year for <a href="https://www.nme.com/reviews/adeles-new-song-easy-on-me-review-3071456">‘Easy On Me’</a> and Artist Of The Year.</p>

<p>Collecting the Album Of The Year trophy at the end of the night, <a href="https://www.nme.com/news/music/adele-not-many-people-make-personal-albums-anymore-brits-2022-3157030">Adele reflected on the nature of the record</a>, which detailed her experiences of divorce. “I’d like to dedicate this award to my son and to Simon, to his dad – this album was all of our journey, not just mine,” she began.</p>
<p>“I’m very proud of myself for sticking to my guns and putting out an album that was about something so personal to me, cos not many people do stuff like that anymore. My son has been so gracious – so gracious and kind and patient with me over the last couple of years and it’s for him.”</p>
<div id="jwplayer-video-aLhRd09t"></div>
<p>She also singled out producer Inflo, who won Producer Of The Year, saying he “really changed my life”.</p>
<p>“Not just with my music, but he really helped me in so many ways,” she said. “‘Flo, I love you – this is for you as well.”</p>
<p>Also among the BRITs performers was <a href="https://www.nme.com/artists/liam-gallagher">Liam Gallagher</a>, <a href="https://www.nme.com/news/music/liam-gallagher-everythings-electric-live-performance-brit-awards-3157545">who played his new single ‘Everything’s Electric’ for the first time</a>, and <a href="https://www.nme.com/news/music/ed-sheeran-bring-me-the-horizon-brit-awards-2022-3156942">a remarkable surprise collaboration</a> between <a href="https://www.nme.com/artists/ed-sheeran">Ed Sheeran</a> and <a href="https://www.nme.com/artists/bring-me-the-horizon">Bring Me The Horizon</a>.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/sharon-van-etten">Sharon Van Etten</a> is back with her first solo song since 2020 with “Porta.” The anthemic, but calm, song details feelings of loss of selfhood and security. Van Etten sings, “Want to hold head up, donʼt want to stay down/I want to live my life/But you wonʼt allow.”</p>
<div class="ast-oembed-container"><iframe style="width: 700px; height: 394px;" title="Sharon Van Etten - Porta (OFFICIAL VIDEO)" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/BjD1dr1_iMs?feature=oembed" width="700" height="394" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p>“Porta” was written in 2020 “at one of my lowest lows,” Van Etten said in a statement. “For most of my adult life I have struggled with bouts of depression and anxiety and coping mechanisms, and I sometimes let those dark moments get the best of me. During this time I felt very dissociated. Not connected to my body and I felt out of control.”</p>
<p>The accompanying video shows her in a state of cathartic healing, practicing pilates. The video was inspired by Van Etten’s weekly meetings with her friend Stella Cook, who runs Base Pilates in North Carolina. She says Cook helped her during a rough patch in her mental health during 2020 through their meetings.</p>
<p>“Even when it’s hard. Even when it hurts. Reach out. Reach out to that friend who helps you reach out towards yourself,” Van Etten said.</p>
<p>The single follows Van Etten’s 2021 collaboration album which featured artists like Big Red Machine, IDLES, and Fiona Apple.</p>
<p>This spring, Sharon Van Etten will hit the stage at her Darkness Fades Tour in Europe, followed by the Wild Hearts with <a href="https://www.spin.com/2021/08/sharon-van-etten-angel-olsen-jimmy-kimmel-live/">Angel Olsen</a>, Julien Baker, and Spencer this summer.

The shirt or the sword?! The big question plaguing Baby Yoda fans gets answered early on as Grogu turns up on Tatooine for the big showdown – an extra-long episode that runs as one explosive set piece paying off everything built up across <em>The Book Of Boba Fett</em> and <a href="https://www.nme.com/tag/the-mandalorian" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>The Mandalorian</em></a> so far.</p>
<p>Boba (Temuera Morrison), Mando (Pedro Pascal) and Fennec (Ming-Na Wen) start drawing up their battle plans in the bombed-out shell of The Sanctuary nightclub. They have Drash (Sophie Thatcher), Skad (Jordan Bolger) and Chris the Wookiee on their side, but that’s about it – since Cad Bane gunned down Marshall Cobb in <a href="https://www.nme.com/reviews/tv-recaps/the-book-of-boba-fett-episode-6-recap-baby-yoda-cad-bane-3151561" target="_blank" rel="noopener">last week’s episode</a> and stopped him sending any reinforcements.</p>
<p>Bane swaggers up to Boba and tries to draw him out – hoping that a confrontation with his mentor will be enough to settle the war with an old fashioned western shootout. They trade words instead of shots (“If that’s not the Quacta calling the Stifling slimy…”), and Boba finds out that the Pykes killed his adopted Tusken tribe and blamed it on the bikers. Just as his blood gets hot, the whole city explodes. Turning the crime families against Boba, the Pykes have an unstoppable army of mercenaries and Mafiosos at their disposal – forcing the good guys into a tough corner.</p>
<figure id="attachment_3157602" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 2000px;" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-3157602"><img src="https://www.nme.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Boba_Fett_Episode_7.jpg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="Boba Fett finale" height="444" width="699" /></figure>
<p>Chris gets overwhelmed, the pig men get thrown off a cliff and Boba and Mando prepare for a Butch and Sundance style suicide pact. Thankfully, backup arrives. The Marshall might have been gunned down but his death inspired the townsfolk to gather up their weapons and join the fight – turning up in an old tank just in time to stop Boba and Mando being riddled with bullets. At the same time, Baby Yoda arrives with Peli (Amy Sedaris) in a rickshaw (“Grogu? That’s a terrible name. No way am I calling you that!”), now wearing his little shiny shirt and obviously having already made the decision to leave Luke’s Jedi school behind to spend more time with his dad.</p>
<p>Just as the scales start balancing out, a pair of giant Scorpenek droids turn up. Protected by force fields and packing huge cannons and razor legs, each robot is clearly capable of winning the war on its own. Finally, then, Boba brings out his own trump card – riding his pet rancor into the fight like Godzilla.</p>
<p>As Boba Fett wrangles his <a href="https://www.starwars.com/databank/rancor" target="_blank" rel="noopener">rancor</a>, Mando chops away with his darksaber, and Baby Yoda uses his force powers to fight a giant robot scorpion, it’s hard to think of a scene in any <a href="https://www.nme.com/tag/star-wars" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Star Wars</a> film or show that feels so ridiculously satisfying for long-time fans. Briefly turning the series into a kaiju movie, the giant lizard monster swipes and eats his way through a whole city before King Kong-ing the two Scorpeneks in an impressive double-headed smackdown.</p>

<p>Scared off by Bane’s flamethrower, the rancor runs off to go berserk somewhere else and Boba is left to face his old boss alone. Bane wins the quickdraw but Boba fights back with his Gaderffii stick, killing the desperado just as he was getting interesting. Across the other side of town, Mando tries to wrangle the rogue rancor but ends up getting punched through a building. Baby Yoda manages to force-calm the monster down instead, and everyone starts celebrating.</p>
<p>A quick cut to whatever Fennec has been doing during all this shows her ruthlessly assassinating the heads of all the mafia gangs in the Pyke HQ, putting an end to the violence on Tatooine once and for all. Walking through town after the fight like a local hero, Boba now has the respect, and the power, he always wanted – closing the first chapter in <em>The Book Of Boba Fett</em> as the episode leaves Mando and Baby Yoda joy-riding off to the next season of their own series. Now rumoured to land sometime around Christmas, it feels like far too long a wait already.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.metallica.com">Metallica</a> guitarist <a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/kirk-hammett">Kirk Hammett</a> announced that he’ll be releasing his solo debut, <em>Portals</em>, in April on the band’s Blackened Recordings.</p>
<p>“This music was created with what I describe as an Audio-Cinematic approach,” Hammett said in a statement. “They’re soundtracks to the movies in your mind.”</p>
<p>The four-song instrumental EP was recorded in various locales, from Los Angeles to Paris to Oahu. It was produced by Hammett and is comprised of the tracks “Maiden and the Monster,” “The Jinn,” “High Plains Drifter,” and “The Incantation,” which were both co-written by Edwin Outwater. Outwater also contributed keyboards and lead the orchestral players from the L.A. Philharmonic on <em>Portals</em>, and previously collaborated with Hammett on Metallica’s S&M2 concerts and releases.</p>
<p>Other notable contributors on the EP include Jon Theodore, Abraham Laboriel, Greg Fidelman on bass, Emmy-winning arranger Blake Neely, and Metallica producer Bob Rock.</p>
<p>In other Metallica news, the band is gearing up for their headlining performances at <a href="https://www.spin.com/2022/01/foo-fighters-metallica-the-strokes-to-headline-boston-calling-2022/">Boston Calling</a> and <a href="https://www.spin.com/2022/01/metallica-pink-twenty-one-pilots-luke-combs-bottlerock-2022/">BottleRock</a> festivals.

<p>Two years into Zoom becoming a mainstream method of communication, it’s clear that the assortment of books, artwork and knickknacks that decorate the shelves in the background of a video call say a lot about the person appearing in front of them. Sure, some folks opt for a shelf-free background, but unless you’re in a particularly enthralling room or have some very special art or posters as your backdrop, all that tells people is that you’re boring. Of course, there’s always the digital option of replacing your actual setting with something more interesting… if you’re a coward.</p>
<p>As one might expect, <a href="http://spin.com/tag/slash">Slash</a> has a wide variety of tchotchkes on the shelves behind him in his preferred Zoom setup. The groupings of gifts, purchases, and other small acquisitions no doubt tell different parts of his long and illustrious life’s story. Frankly, I have no idea what any of them were, since I was focused on the rock ‘n roll royalty sitting in front of them in a bandana (instead of his iconic top hat) and his signature sunglasses.</p>
<p>But after about 20 minutes of answering my questions, Slash leaned in toward his camera, clearly looking at something on the screen in front of him.</p>
<p>“Is that a dinosaur menorah behind you?”</p>
<p>Of all the things for Slash to notice on the wobbly IKEA bookshelf behind me (which also holds his autobiography, among others), he’d picked out the little golden T. rex with a slightly broken tail on the second shelf from the top.</p>
<p>“Oh, yeah, my wife got it for me a couple years back,” I explained after the initial shock wore off.</p>
<p>“I’ve got the same one! I got it as a Christmas gift.”</p>
<p>In addition to having the same Menorahsaurus (what it’s actually called, according to the internet) as <em>SPIN</em>’s Deputy Editor, Slash also has a brand new album coming out this Friday (February 11). As the first release on Gibson Records, <em>4</em> picks up where the guitar icon left off — bringing his signature sound to a variety of rocking tracks with Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators.</p>
<p>Check out the non-dinosaur menorah portion of <em>SPIN</em>’s interview with Slash below.</p>
<div class="ast-oembed-container"><iframe style="width: 700px; height: 394px;" title="Slash ft. Myles Kennedy and The Conspirators - The River Is Rising (Official Music Video)" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/LdAHctXARlY?feature=oembed" width="700" height="394" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p> </p>
<p><strong><em>SPIN</em>: What went into putting this album together for the first release on Gibson’s new record label?</strong></p>
<p><strong>Slash:</strong> For the record itself, we recorded it with Dave Cobb in Nashville at RCA Studio A, which was a great experience. We had a blast over there. We recorded the album live in the studio, which means all of the gear in one room, just like we would in a venue. That was a first for me, and it really gave the record a certain kind of excitement that you just don’t get with the way that records are recorded nowadays. It was fun, and I think it’s a great rock and roll record.</p>
<p>Working with Gibson has been amazing. I mean, I’ve had a relationship with Gibson for almost 30 years, but when I got the call that they wanted to release this record as their first release on their new label, it was all a big surprise. I had no idea they even had a label, but this was almost too perfect to be true. It just seemed like such an obvious thing.</p>
<p><strong>You’ve now been playing with Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators for longer than you have any other incarnation of any other band without taking a significant break. How has that relationship developed over the years?</strong></p>
<p>When it first started, it was initially just to support the solo record that I did back in 2010. I worked with Myles on that record, and I asked him if he wanted to do this tour that I was doing to sort of cover my whole catalog. He has great range and a variety of styles that he’s capable of, so he signed on to do it. Then I met Brent Fitz, and I got him to play drums. He introduced me to Todd Kerns, and we just had this really natural instantaneous chemistry. That’s really kept us going this whole time on a personal level, and on a professional level, it’s just very, very easy. We get along great, and all we want to do as individuals and as a collective is just go out and play. There’s absolutely nothing else to it. Everybody is fine with doing however much work it takes to be able to to facilitate that.</p>
<p><strong>What’s the creative process like for you these days when you’re working on “solo” material like this with the band?</strong></p>
<p>There’s no real set thing. This is gonna sound corny, but I really enjoy what it is that I do. I’ve always got a guitar with me. I’m always dicking around trying to come up with new ideas just based on playing, and whenever I do come up with something, I record it that minute into my phone. That technology has been a real convenience, because back in the day, it was too much of a pain in the ass to set up to record every time you had an idea. With the phone, I’m always just compiling new stuff. I write a lot on the road, which is something that’s a little different than in the old days. In the old days, I couldn’t remember anything that I wrote if I wrote on the road at all. Usually what happens is I’ll come up with a riff, and then the next day, I’ll bring it to soundcheck while we’re touring and just start working up an idea at soundcheck. A lot of the ideas on this record are rooted in that process. During the pandemic, I did a lot of writing and recorded demos for this record from the old stuff, but I also wrote some new stuff for this record as well.</p>
<p><strong>Outside of your own music, you’ve gotten to perform both live and in the studio with an insane number of legendary artists. Is there anyone else on your bucket list for who else you’d want to play with?</strong></p>
<p>There’s a ton of people that I would appreciate being able to work with, but the way that it happens is that I just sort of run into people in passing. We end up having a conversation, and the conversation gets around to jamming on something or writing or whatever. All of them are really born out of these spontaneous little social things that come out of nowhere. There’s never a lot of pre-planning. Sometimes I get called to do stuff, but for the most part, it’s just casual and by chance. In the future, I don’t know what I might end up doing. I actually just recorded something with <a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/fear/">Fear</a>. That was really exciting for me, because in LA back in the late ‘70s, Fear was like my all-time favorite LA punk band. They’re doing a covers record, so they called me, knowing that I’m a big Fear fan. <a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/duff-mckagan/">Duff [McKagan]</a> is on it as well. I don’t know if I’m letting the cat out of the bag too soon, because it’s probably supposed to be a surprise, but I don’t know. They didn’t tell me.</p>
<p><strong>In addition to putting out your new album, it feels like you’ve had more signature Les Pauls with Gibson than pretty much anyone else. What’s it like to now have basically an entire line of guitars with your name on it?</strong></p>
<p>It’s an honor for me, because when I first picked up the guitar, my go-to first electric guitar was a Les Paul copy. I’ve learned a lot about gear and all that kind of stuff over the years — and I did trial and error with a lot of different guitars — but the guitar that I’ve always been most comfortable with is a Les Paul. When I first came out, I was just a Les Paul guy, and I never thought too much about it. Then at some point around 1990, I went to a NAMM show in Chicago and they had this line of Les Pauls with a faded sunburst with no pickup covers and no pickguard — exactly how I set my guitars up. So I talked to the guy, and he goes, “Oh, well, you know, this is sort of a new look we’re trying with these guitars.” It was like they finally got me. So then they finally made me a personal Slash model based on my specs with my name on it, but there were only like three of those and they weren’t commercially available. Years go by, and when Velvet Revolver [started] is when we first actually did a commercially available Slash model Custom Shop guitar. It’s just sort of snowballed since then with different variations of Les Pauls with different specs that I would pick and choose, and different finishes and whatnot. I just came out with my first Gibson USA Les Paul line, because Gibson got weird for some years, so I was only working with the Custom Shop. Now that they have new management and the company’s been reborn basically, I’ve finally got a USA model out. I’m working on new ideas for some other guitars with them, too. It’s great, because I’m always thinking about it. I can call them up and go “Hey, what about this? What about that?” I probably drive them crazy.</p>
<p><strong>You’ve always maintained a level of consistency within your work, while generally staying out of the headlines for the wrong reasons…</strong></p>
<p>I’ve had my moments. [<em>Laughs.</em>] But for the most part, I’ve always been focused around music and playing, touring, recording and all of the other shit. I just don’t like to draw attention to myself outside of playing. I’m not really that publicly outgoing, and I don’t want that attention, I don’t want to be recognized for doing anything other than playing guitar in a band. We’re in a culture where everybody is looking for attention. Everybody wants to be on TV. Everybody wants to be big on social networks, influencing influencers and being as out there and in everybody’s faces as possible. I’m sort of the opposite. I just want to be able to get some cool music out and then go out and play. If you want to show up there, it’s great. But I don’t want to be trying to get people to notice me while I’m dicking around doing something else.</p>
<p><strong>Completely unrelated to everything else, but it’s been a little over 10 years since <em>South Park</em> revealed to the world that you don’t actually exist. I know you’re a <em>South Park</em> fan, so what was that like to make an appearance there?</strong></p>
<p>Well, I’ve never actually seen the episode, because I don’t like watching anything that I’m in, so I never sought it out. I’m aware of it, of course. I’m a huge animation fan. I love cartoons and animation in general, and I love <em>South Park</em>. So when I heard about that, it was a huge honor — especially because they didn’t lay waste to me like they have to so many other people. I’ve been watching the show for years, so it’s nice to be immortalized in a sort of tongue-in-cheek animated thing for me. It’s really cool.</p>
<p><strong>Anything else on your radar for the near future that you want people to know about?</strong></p>
<p>I’m just excited that the record coming out ,finally, because we actually recorded it in April of last year. We had to wait until now because we had all of these scheduling conflicts and whatnot. We’re doing a US tour to support it, and then I’ve got Guns N’ Roses going on the road for all kinds of make-up tours for 2020 in Europe, Australia, Asia and South America. Then the Conspirators are back in the beginning of 2023 for a tour, so it’s going to be a really busy next couple of years.</p>

<p>Musicians are taking over this year’s <a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/oscars">Oscars</a>. The nominees were announced this morning, and singers, producers, and composers are up for the film industry’s biggest award.</p>
<p>Five generational icons, Van Morrison, Beyoncé, Billie Eilish, Lin-Manuel Miranda, and Diane Warren, are up for the Best Original Song category. Morrison grabbed a nom for “Down To Joy,” from <em>Belfast</em>, where Queen B is up for co-writing “Be Alive,” from <em>King Richard </em>with producer DIXSON.</p>
<p>This marks Beyoncé’s first-ever Oscar nomination. Eilish and her brother Finneas co-wrote the newest Bond theme, “No Time To Die,” and Miranda wrote the track “Dos Oruguitas” for Disney’s <em>Encanto</em>. If he wins, his Oscar will secure Miranda with EGOT status. This is Warren’s 13th Oscar nomination, making her the most-nominated woman who’s never won an Oscar. She was nominated this year for “Somehow You Do” from <em>Four Good Days</em>.</p>
<p>Miranda, Warren, and Morrison wrote their nominated tracks without any collaborators, marking the first time in 20 years that three or more songwriters were nominated for songs they wrote themselves.</p>
<p>In some not-so-good news, neither Lady Gaga in <em>House of Gucci </em>nor Alaina Haim in <em>Licorice Pizza </em>received nominations, but both films received some of their own.</p>
<p>The Best Original Score category is also stacked, with Jonny Greenwood scoring his second-ever nod for Jane Campion’s <em>The Power Of The Dog</em>. He previously was up for <em>Phantom Thread </em>in 2018. This year, Nicholas Brittell is up for <em>Don’t Look Up</em>, Germain Franco for <em>Encanto, </em>Alberto Iglesias for <em>Parallel Mothers</em>, and Hans Zimmer for <em>Dune</em>.</p>
<p>Everyone’s favorite late-night band leader and Roots member, ?uestlove, is up for Best Documentary for directing the vibrant <em>Summer of Soul</em>.</p>

<p>“We knew that people weren’t going to like it,” says Black Country, New Road’s Lewis Evans. “And [now] I <em>know</em> that people won’t like it.”</p>
<p>It doesn’t read like a ringing endorsement of <a href="https://www.spin.com/2021/10/black-country-new-road-announce-second-record-ants-from-up-there/"><em>Ants From Up There</em></a>, the recently issued second album from British sextet <a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/black-country-new-road/">Black Country, New Road</a>. But the saxophonist correctly insists it’s the “best thing [they’ve] ever done” — a more mature song cycle that broadens the emotional range of 2021’s <em>For the First Time</em>.</p>
<p>Where that acclaimed debut relied heavily on deadpan speak-sing snark and brooding post-punk riffs, <em>Ants</em> is often bright and opened-armed, landing somewhere between ornate art-rock and Arcade Fire-sized chamber-pop. They’ve always had style to spare — now they have heart.</p>
<p>“One of the main aims of the second album was to explore, first of all, more emotions,” bassist Tyler Hyde tells <em>SPIN</em> over Zoom, clutching a handful of oranges and a turmeric shot. (“Getting my Vitamin C up,” she adds.) “The first album, I think, goes down a very narrow route. And the way it created these emotions was just through shock, the immediate tools that you would use in music to make people go “wow!” or “boo!” [<em>Laughs.</em>] But with this album, we were like, ‘How can we create tension without just like thrashing our guitars are whacking on a distortion pedal?’”</p>
<p>To answer that question, the band holed up in January 2021 — one month before <em>First Time</em> came out — to whittle away at new material, even drawing on some ambitious ideas (including the 12-minute epic “Basketball Shoes”) that dated back at least two years. That summer, they traveled to the Isle Of Wight and recorded at Chale Abbey Studios, home to what drummer Charlie Wayne calls “15 medieval monk ghosts.” (“There was a lot of chanting,” he says.)</p>
<p>The critical buzz for <em>First Time</em> was still swirling, but they felt no pressure to top it — after all, it’s easy to avoid a sophomore slump when the follow-up sounds like a different band altogether.</p>
<p>“We definitely thought about, ‘Why was this good?’” adds Evans. “But we really didn’t go into recording or writing this album thinking, ‘How can we make it have the merits of the last album?’ We were all so sure of this one, that this was the best thing we’ve ever done. We didn’t really care. I know that there’s gonna be people who really liked the first album who aren’t gonna like this at all. And that’s fine because it’s a completely different thing.”</p>
<p><em>SPIN </em>spoke with Evans, Hyde and Wayne about their musical growth and side-stepping those expectations. (A week later, Evans, Lewis and guitarist Luke Mark hopped on a follow-up Zoom to address the elephant in the room: the <a href="https://twitter.com/BCNRband/status/1488120061332279298">departure</a> of the band’s lead vocalist Isaac Wood, days before the album’s release. The following is a condensed version of those two conversations.)</p>
<div class="ast-oembed-container"><iframe style="width: 698px; height: 393px;" title="Black Country, New Road - 'Concorde' (Official Video)" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/yjC4qXiBRu4?feature=oembed" width="698" height="393" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>SPIN: Had you sensed for a while that Isaac wanted to leave the band?</strong><br><strong>Wayne:</strong> When we had the first chat with you, we did know that Isaac was no longer going to be part of the group. We were waiting for him to prepare what he wanted to say. I think it was only fair that it came from his words, rather than from an interview or something that he didn’t have any control over. Although we’ve known for a little while — and it’s obviously been quite an intense week, especially with the run-up to the album — we’ve had some time to come to terms with it and feel a huge amount of support in each other. We’ve been spending quite a lot of time with each other, which, although it’s been sad, has been quite nice at the same time.</p>
<p><strong>In the statement you released, you mentioned you’ve already been working on new material. What can you tell me about that?</strong><br><strong>Mark: </strong>I don’t think it’ll be that revelatory or interesting to discuss the material, but it’s stuff we intended to work on anyway with Isaac. It just made sense to start doing it now amongst the six of us. It’s totally new material. We’ve been doing some of Tyler’s songs that she does solo — adapting them and seeing how they work in the band setup, figuring out the dynamic of the six of us, seeing if it’s the same as it was before. We’re trying to get a bunch of music together. It felt important for us to keep playing together as soon as we could, even in private — also because we want to play shows at some point. It feels like something to look forward to, to be working on something. It’s still early days.</p>
<p><strong>Obviously when you lose a singer, that’s a radical change to the presentation of the music. Are you still trying to figure out who will sing live? And what about the writing process? This is a very collaborative band anyway, which is a good thing. </strong><br><strong>Hyde:</strong> It’s still super fresh, so the details of this stuff still haven’t been discussed. And to be honest, when it comes to making anything as an artist, any idea or sense of the end goal just totally debilitates you from being able to produce whatever that is. It’s really important for us to not have these discussions and just [focus on music]. One thing we’ve learned from what happened to Isaac is that it’s really important to share the load. We should be reminded that, when we go play a gig, the person singing has a totally different experience from the rest of the band. You can’t just have fun — there’s this pressure that no one else shares with you.</p>
<p>We don’t know what that sounds like yet. Right now we’re just working on my songs because I have these songs and I wanted — and we all wanted — to hear what Black Country could do with that. That’s the exciting thing about Black Country: Someone brings a song or a skeleton, and all of us together take it to a world that none of us could have conceived in the first place. We can’t answer that question because that’s the nature of Black Country — who knows what’s going to happen? All I know is that you’re going to hear lots of different voices, and it’s going to be even more collaborative. I don’t know, maybe we’ll be the next Fleetwood Mac. [<em>Laughs.</em>] It’s kind of the ethos that we always had in the first place. We’re opening up more clearly and collaborating even more and sharing the load. It’s a direction we were always going to go in.</p>
<div class="ast-oembed-container"><iframe style="width: 700px; height: 394px;" title="Black Country, New Road - 'Basketball Shoes' (Official Audio)" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/uOnjuIb1TWY?feature=oembed" width="700" height="394" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>It seems like every music critic loved the first album — it was on all these top 10 lists. Have you been keeping up with all the hype, or do you try to block it out?</strong><br><strong>Wayne: </strong>I think we all like to try and pay some sort of attention to it. We kind of stay abreast of what’s going on — there was no other tangible way of finding out if people liked it or not because we couldn’t play any shows. But generally, you just try and keep some sort of distance from it because otherwise, it’ll just ruin whatever you’re trying to do next.</p>
<p>I think that’s also part of the reason why we kind of wanted to get this second album out ASAP: We didn’t want to have the feeling of the first album hanging over us for a super long time. Also, we weren’t necessarily in the same place musically. We’d written all the tracks for the first album quite a long time ago, and we recorded it, and it had been delayed. And then when it came out, we’d already done those rehearsal sessions for the second album, so we were kind of not even <em>there </em>anymore.</p>
<p><strong>Because so many people love that first album, did you have that in your head at all when you were writing new stuff — like, “What is it that people love so much about that one? How did we make lightning strike the first time?”</strong><br><strong>Evans:</strong> I’m not expecting [fans] to suddenly like a different type of music or suddenly change their opinions because of a first album that they liked. We were just so sure that it was really good. There are also going to be critics who aren’t going to like it because it’s not like the first album — it’s not taking that to a new level. It’s going in a different direction. And I think that’s fine. Really, without trying to sound too nihilistic about it, the whole thing is kind of silly — this expectation that you then have to go and push the thing that you were doing before, that you have to think, “Okay, well, how did we do it really well, in this previous one? Let’s react to that.”</p>
<p>That’s not what we’re in it for, to get that first critically acclaimed album. It’s just some random person saying that they really liked something you did. That’s not as fulfilling as making sick music. And we’ve made a sick album. The whole time, we knew it was different. We went into it being like, “We really like this. This is sick. Even if people don’t like it, people will like it in three years’ time when they’ve forgotten about the first album. People who haven’t heard our first album will like it.” It’s as if we were a new band doing this album.</p>
<p><strong>It seems like there’s a new crop of bands exploring the idea of progressive rock — taking some of these influences and putting their own spin on them. Is the Canterbury scene an influence for you?</strong><br><strong>Evans:</strong> Yeah, definitely — in a way. I couldn’t really name any [of those] artists that we’ve been directly inspired by. But the approach to the music the Canterbury scene has is similar. It’s this almost a bit twee, a bit fun, not taking yourself too seriously, but it’s also quite detailed music — and the way that lots of different instruments interweave is quite a proggy thing as well. Despite not being in a prog or a Canterbury scene sound world, theoretically, it’s there. There’s a tune we have that we’ve got like seven kazoos — silly little ideas that people had in the late ‘60s and ‘70s, stuff you would hear and be like, “Why have they done that?” [<em>Everyone laughs.</em>]</p>

<p> </p>
<p><strong>Lewis, I know “Mark’s Theme” was written for your uncle who passed away from COVID-19. Could you talk about putting that song together? I’m sure that was a powerful moment for you.</strong><br><strong>Evans:</strong> That was written on the day that my uncle passed away. It was actually the day before the first album came out — on the fourth of February 2021. I had just gotten a tenor saxophone about a week before. It had just come out of the workshop on that day, and I was walking home. My dad called me to say that he passed away. I just went home and played on that sax for the first time, and it was really nice — I just wrote that straight away. That’s the only song really where nobody had a say — I wasn’t insistent on it, but everyone gave me my space to have that tune as I wanted it because it’s obviously quite personal. But the recording process, in the end, was really interesting for that one. We experimented quite a lot with what we could do because there’s so much space in it. There’s this silence where you can hear the room sound — you hear me pressing down on the pedal on the piano to start playing. You hear the creaking of the seats. It’s quite an atmospheric thing. We recorded it, and we were so happy with it.</p>
<p>But between having finished the album and going in to mix it properly, part of me was thinking, “Would he have really liked this song?” Because he was a very, very boisterous, annoying Scottish man who like to have a good time: get pissed and dance. He liked the Prodigy and stuff like that. “Is, like, Gary Numan’s biggest fan gonna like this song?” I was like, ‘We’ve got to make this gotta have something a bit funny about it.” He used to send me these voice notes when he got drunk that were just him making weird sounds. So I stuck one of them in at the end — I thought he would like it if it wasn’t too mournful and sad. That whole side of that family is really, really proud to have that on there. I’m really happy to have that out in the world to remember him because he was a massive fan of the band, a huge supporter of me and everything that I did musically.</p>

<p>Iggy Pop’s latest studio album, <a href="https://www.nme.com/reviews/iggy-pop-free-review-2544831">‘Free’</a>, came out back in 2019.

<p>The review added: “Wherever that journey takes him in this phase of his career, it’ll be an honour to witness.”</p>

<p><a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/pusha-t">Pusha T</a>‘s latest single, “Diet Coke” produced by Kanye West and 88 Keys is out now.</p>

</ul>
<p><a href="https://www.nme.com/big-reads/red-hot-chili-peppers-cover-interview-2022-unlimited-love-3152682">Speaking to <em>NME</em> in last week’s Big Read</a>, RHCP frontman Anthony Kiedis and returning guitarist <a href="https://www.nme.com/artists/john-frusciante">John Frusciante</a> said that, going forward, their fans could expect new material from the band on a more frequent basis.</p>
<p>“We’re gonna put out music by the handful – literally,” Kiedis told <em>NME</em>. “Don’t be surprised if another wheelbarrow of songs comes your way in the near future.</p>
<p>“We have a lot of shit to turn people onto.”</p>
<p>Frusciante added that there is a “loose plan” for a follow-up album to ‘Unlimited Love’, and that the band “recorded almost 50 pieces of music” during sessions with producer <a href="https://www.nme.com/artists/rick-rubin">Rick Rubin</a>.</p>

<p>“We definitely have enough material that we love,” the guitarist said, adding that RHCP’s next project after ‘Unlimited Love’ already “has a relaxed energy that’s distinct from the intensity of the record that we’ve made here”.</p>
<p>Of ‘Unlimited Love’, Kiedis told <em>NME</em> that the band “pushed each other in a positive way” while making the record.</p>
<p>“I really didn’t want to tell the same old story that we’ve been hearing for the last 50 years in rock music,” the frontman said about the forthcoming album.</p>
<p>“I liked reaching out in 10,000 directions and seeing what was out there. We weren’t limiting ourselves but trying to tap into something that is honest and emotional. Hopefully we’ve said something that hasn’t been said before, or at least said it in a way that hasn’t.”</p>

<p>Red Hot Chili Peppers also told <em>NME</em> about <a href="https://www.nme.com/news/music/red-hot-chili-peppers-the-biggest-event-was-john-frusciante-returning-to-the-band-3154073">how “the biggest event” surrounding ‘Unlimited Love’ was Frusciante’s return</a>, while <a href="https://www.nme.com/news/music/red-hot-chili-peppers-the-energy-of-hillel-slovak-has-never-truly-faded-3155584">they also reflected on the legacy of their late guitarist Hillel Slovak</a>.</p>

<p><a href="http://spin.com/tag/nine-inch-nails">Nine Inch Nails</a>‘ last proper headlining, non-festival performance was all the way back in 2018. With <a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/coronavirus">COVID</a> and a few canceled festivals, the band <a href="https://www.spin.com/2021/08/nine-inch-nails-cancel-all-2021-tour-dates/">hasn’t performed live</a> in a while, but they just announced that is (thankfully) going to change.</p>
<p>The band is scheduled for a hometown performance on September 24 at Blossom Music Center in Cleveland, Ohio, which will feature Ministry and Nitzer Ebb. General public tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. EST on Friday, Feb. 11 <a href="https://concerts.livenation.com/event/05005C42FDD778AB?irgwc=1&clickid=RVMU5Mzc4xyIWibxKJzcQXKZUkGUFhQvpUW9SQ0&camefrom=CFC_BUYAT_361433&impradid=361433&REFERRAL_ID=tmfeedbuyat361433&wt.mc_id=aff_BUYAT_361433&utm_source=361433-Linkfire&impradname=Linkfire&utm_medium=affiliate">via Live Nation</a>. The Nine Inch Nails Artist and Official Platinum presales begin at 10 am EST tomorrow, February 8.</p>
<p>The band was supposed to play several intimate shows in Cleveland last year before Reznor <a href="https://www.spin.com/2021/08/nine-inch-nails-cancel-all-2021-tour-dates/">pulled the plug</a> on account of the pandemic.</p>
<p>Additionally, Trent Reznor and company also hit France’s Hellfest, and will headline Atlanta’s <a href="https://www.spin.com/2021/11/green-day-nine-inch-nails-my-morning-jacket-set-to-headline-2022-shaky-knees-festival/">Shaky Knees</a> and the debut of <a href="https://www.spin.com/2021/12/primavera-sound-los-angeles/">Primavera Sound Festival</a> in Los Angeles. Tickets for all festivals can be found on <a href="https://www.nin.com/live/">NIN’s website</a>.</p>
<p>Last year, they were set to perform two big Cleveland shows with the Pixies, and headline <a href="https://www.spin.com/2021/05/nine-inch-nails-smashing-pumpkins-run-the-jewels-faith-no-more-highlight-riot-fest-2021-lineup/">Riot Fest</a>, Louder Than Life, and Welcome to Rockville, but all were canceled due to the pandemic. Their most recent show was in December 2018 at the Hollywood Palladium, so it’s beyond due time for another live set from NIN.</p>
<p>The band is one of many artists featured at the <a href="https://www.spin.com/2022/01/lacma-interscope-exhibition/">Los Angeles County Museum of Art’s Interscope Exhibition</a>, <em>Artists Inspired by Music: Interscope Reimagined</em>, which currently displays new artworks inspired by Interscope’s recording musicians. The exhibit ends next week on February 13.</p>

<p><em>Editor’s note: For the past three years, I’ve asked <a href="https://www.spin.com/2021/09/musicians-predict-the-2021-nfl-season/">artists to predict the NFL season</a> for their favorite team. Every year, Andy Biersack of <a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/black-veil-brides">Black Veil Brides</a> has been a participant. If we want to roll back the clock even more, the whole “predict the season for your team” idea came from a conversation I had with Andy in 2017. At the time, both of our respective teams were teetering. We were both cautiously optimistic things would turn around. Only one of our teams (his) has gone to the Super Bowl since. Thus, since Andy has been there since day one, I figured we’d open the floor to him about one of the best stories in recent NFL memory: the Cincinnati Bengals.</em></p>

<p>I still feel like it’s a dream. Like I was two weeks old, a little less than two weeks old, the last time they won a playoff game.</p>
<p>The first season I was really consciously cheering for them (rather than just like, “Oh, this is the team we cheer for”) was that Ki-Jana Carter season [1995]. I was a very little kid, but I remember that we would always go to my grandpa’s house to watch the preseason games, and all the hype around him and all the excitement about something good might happen. At that point, I guess I didn’t necessarily realize what I was in for in terms of the other [not so good] moments that would come along.</p>
<p>Being a Bengals fan meant hanging on to single players who were good. Carl Pickens was good, Takeo Spikes was too. You can’t imagine the excitement of over-drafting a linebacker that was felt in the city just because it seemed like he might be a good player. That’s really, for the longest time, what my fandom was as a kid. It was like “We’re gonna lose all the games, but at least we’ve got these fun guys that I can cheer for.” Whether it’s Corey Dillon, Spikes, Pickens, and then when Boomer Esiason came back for his last dance swan song season and they won a few games.</p>

<p>My whole life as a fan was always these moments of, “Oh, we’re bad, we’re bad, we’re bad. Oh, something good might happen,” and then it doesn’t.</p>
<p>By the time you get to 2005, it looks like for the first time, we have a legitimate team. I remember visiting my dad’s cousins, who were all big Packers fans, and they were asking us if we could get them Ocho Cinco (or Chad Johnson) jerseys and how cool he was. I was so proud that people who liked the Packers — which was like this glorious legacy franchise — would be interested in wearing Bengals jerseys, and how exciting it was that we had a cool team.</p>
<p>I think that if you asked most Bengals fans, they would say that the 2005 season — even though it didn’t turn into anything — was one of the most beloved teams. It brought such a sense of like, “Wow, this is really gonna happen.” And then the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQKi0HEi9a8">Carson Palmer injury</a> and the subsequent collapse in that game. I believe that broke the fan base up until this year.</p>
<p>After that game, it was just living in absolute frustration. There’s nowhere for my mind to go, and it just makes me laugh thinking of how that same scenario played out in hotels in Brazil on tour, and about to walk out on stage. They lose in so many scenarios throughout the course of my life where I had all this hope, and then it gets thwarted.</p>
<figure id="attachment_378914" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 640px;" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-378914"><img src="https://static.spin.com/files/2022/02/Photo-Feb-02-8-13-02-AM.jpg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="Andy Biersack" height="640" width="640" />

<p>This was a season where I had to watch almost all of the games on tour. I’m watching on an iPad in a hotel with shoddy service. In the instance of the Thursday night game (against Jacksonville), we were literally on stage during the second half, and I had my phone tilted behind my front monitor wedge, so I could watch it while we were playing. Of course, the season that I’m on tour almost the whole time is the one where the Bengals are great. Normally, I’m home during the fall and I can watch all of the misery from beginning to end.</p>
<p>I didn’t even really realize that my only “running errands” clothes are Bengals shirts and hats. For the first time ever, I’m doing my normal errands — like going to the post office — and everybody’s congratulating me. That has never happened before. Or they think I’m a Browns fan, because they can’t tell the difference.</p>
<p>I can’t help but find it so funny that now there are 14-year-old casual fans of the NFL whose favorite team is the Bengals because of Joe Burrow and Ja’Marr Chase. To me, it’s outrageous. It’s fun. It’s exciting. I’m not even mad about bandwagon fans. I never honestly thought we would have bandwagon fans. It’s crazy.</p>
<p>There’s part of this team and part of being a fan of this team that is emblematic of — I think in many ways — the type of person that you are. I was talking to a Bengals fan recently about how so much of cheering for this team builds part of your character. It’s not even like Browns fans have the misery of “Oh, we’re the Browns and everybody knows we’re bad.” They get to have that, and Jets fans too. They have a sense of pride in knowing that they’re all in it together. The Bengals aren’t even the most covered or important team within Ohio in the NFL. So we’ve always had this complete lack of identity and complete dismissal. I think as a fan base, there’s something extremely galvanizing about being so dedicated to a team that 9 times out of 10, people forget are even in the NFL.</p>

<p>I always thought if a Super Bowl was going to happen, and the Bengals are going to be in it, I would go anywhere it was. Then here comes a situation where the Super Bowl is happening in the city that I live in, and all I really want to do is go home to be with my family [in Cincinnati] and watch the game there. After the AFC Championship, I FaceTimed my parents, my aunts and uncles and everybody who was watching it together in the living room that I grew up in, and it just hit me. “If this is ever gonna happen, it would be such a shame to not share it with the people that I watched every miserable game of this team with since I was a little kid.” And that’s why I’ll be home watching with them instead of at SoFi.</p>
<p>[As for a prediction], I don’t think there’s a way that this could end badly. The ’88 and ’82 [Super Bowl runners-up] teams are celebrated as victories of our city. I grew up knowing every player on those teams. And those are two teams that lost the Super Bowl! I get to be in my parents’ house with my whole family, decorated with all the Bengals stuff and watch the team play in the Super Bowl.</p>

<p>So for us, I believe this is one of the most beloved teams the city has ever had. To be in a situation where everyone in the fucking world is watching them, If you want to watch football next week, you have to watch my irrelevant team playing in the fucking Super Bowl against the L.A. all-stars that were handpicked and paid more than anybody in the world. It is so wonderful and poetic in so many ways that I love it.</p>
<p>I don’t know what the score is. It seems like it’s gonna be close because [Cincinnati Bengals kicker] Evan McPherson has to kick like four more field goals to get a record, so we got to get that happening. I also love that every week, everybody says, “Well, you know, McPherson will never be able to win the game. The Bengals keep having him kicked four field goals a game, and that’ll never happen.” And then every week he kicks 100 field goals, and we win. So I have no idea what the score is. But I like to think that the good guys win this one, and the prophecy is fulfilled.</p>

<p>The actress, who starred in the 2003 film and its 2004 sequel as the central character, explained in a new interview that the outfit proved difficult given she had just given birth to son Levon at the time.</p>

<p>“I really didn’t want to wear the yellow tracksuit,” she said on <em>The Graham Norton Show</em>. “I had just had my son and anyone that has just had a baby is not going to want to wear a skin-tight onesie, they would have a lot of anxiety.</p>
<p>“So, there was a lot of training, a lot of work, and a lot of brilliant costume work [to] recreate the look of Bruce Lee while covering my belly.”</p>

<p>The <em>Kill Bill</em> series followed Thurman’s character as she hunts down a team of assassins on a revenge mission, and also starred Lucy Liu, Michael Madsen, Daryl Hannah and David Carradine.</p>
<p>Last year, director Quentin Tarantino suggested he <a href="https://www.nme.com/news/film/quentin-tarantino-might-direct-kill-bill-3-after-all-3075199">may make a third film in the series</a>, and teased that it could include the daughter of The Bride, this time <a href="https://www.nme.com/news/film/quentin-tarantino-wants-to-cast-maya-hawke-if-he-ever-makes-kill-bill-3-2985267">played by Thurman’s real-life daughter Maya Hawke</a>.</p>
<p>“I think it’s just revisiting the characters twenty years later and just imagining the Bride and her daughter, BB, having 20 years of peace, and then that peace is shattered,” Tarantino said on <em>The Joe Rogan Experience </em>podcast.</p>
<div id="jwplayer-video-u3k7a50F"></div>
<p>“And now the Bride and BB are on the run and just the idea of being able to cast Uma [Thurman] and cast her daughter Maya [Hawke] in the thing would be fucking exciting.”</p>
<p>He elaborated on a potential threequel: “I mean, Elle Driver (Daryl Hannah) is still out there, Sophie Fatale (Julie Dreyfus) got her arms cut off, she’s still out there. They all got Bill’s money. Gogo (Chiaki Kuriyama) had a twin sister, her twin sister could show up.”</p>

<p><a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/operation-ivy">Operation Ivy</a> fans have been waiting a <em>long </em>time for a reunion. The influential ska band hasn’t played together since breaking up in 1989, and its members have frequently shot down any hope for a revival; however, that all changed last night.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/tim-armstrong/">Tim Armstrong</a> (under the name Tim Timebomb) and his band <a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/the-interrupters/">the Interrupters</a> backed the Specials during a set for the 10th annual Musack Rock And Roll Carnival charity event in Los Angeles, and to the surprise of literally everyone brought out former Op Ivy singer Jesse Michaels to perform “Sound System.”</p>
<p>It may have only been one song, but that’s a helluva lot better than nothing. Perhaps more importantly, it also shows that the band (or at least Armstrong and Michaels) are open to playing together again. And that’s exciting.</p>

<p>Last month, Michaels said he didn’t “object to the idea” of getting Operation Ivy back together, but admitted that a reunion consists of many factors.</p>
<p>“Well, for a long time we weren’t really talking – it wasn’t because there was bad blood. We had issues when we broke up, but we’re all grown up now. We were just sort of in different worlds,” he explained to <em><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-hard-times-podcast-w-jesse-michaels-operation-ivy/id1450779291?i=1000547095173">The Hard Times Podcast</a></em>. “For a long time, we just weren’t talking that much. Now, we do. I see Tim pretty frequently. We get along, he is a friend.”</p>
<p>Michaels went on to say that “because [a reunion] involves different people and different factors, I can’t talk too much about that,” before adding, “I will say, I don’t object to the idea. I don’t know if it could happen for various practical reasons, but I wouldn’t rule it out.”</p>
<p>“We have gotten offers, other people have tried to make it happen… who knows. I just can’t talk about it more than that. It involves other people who have other careers, it involves legal matters…” he said. “I do truly appreciate the interest.”</p>

After Elliot (Dominic Fike) revealed to Jules (Hunter Schafer) last week that Rue (Zendaya) is using again, the troubled addict’s girlfriend has gone straight to her mum to fill her in on her daughter’s relapse. We join the chaos with Rue unaware that her mum has found out from Jules, instead convinced that her sister Gia (Storm Reid) has ratted her out for smoking weed. But once Leslie (Nika King) spills who really outed her, things get really intense.</p>
<p>Rue’s immediate reaction is to look for the suitcase she got from dealer Laurie with $10,000 worth of drugs in that she’s been steadily taking herself, instead of coming good on her proposal to sell it to her fellow students. When the case is missing, she spirals into new lows of frantic despair, tearing her mum’s room apart to look for it and saying some truly nasty things about Leslie’s parenting and the death of her dad. It’s brutal to watch – particularly when she uses the power of her rage to break down Gia’s door by kicking and slamming it a few times.</p>
<p>In a pause in the middle of the whirlwind, Rue apologises and asks her mum calmly where the case is, growing steadily angrier again when she receives no answer. Then, a voice from the living room – Jules’ voice – pipes up to reveal they’ve been flushed down the toilet. Rue stops dead in her tracks for a minute before racing through the house to confront her girlfriend and Elliot. For now, Rules look to be well and truly over, with Rue telling Jules: “I have a lot of regrets in my life, but I gotta tell you, Jules, meeting you has got to be at the top of my fucking list.”</p>
<p><iframe title="euphoria | season 2 episode 5 promo | hbo" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/8QsCuK3rDr0?feature=oembed" width="696" height="392" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" loading="lazy"></iframe></p>
<p>After Jules and Elliot sombrely leave the house, Rue calms down and agrees to go to the hospital with her mum and Gia. Once they’re in the car, though, she flips out at her mum’s use of the word “rehab”, bemoaning the low chances she has of ever getting clean for good. When the car stops at a traffic light, she takes the chance to jump out, nearly getting run over in the process and runs off down an alley.</p>
<p>Darkness falls and Rue is still on the lam – but now, she’s suffering from withdrawal. She goes to Fezco’s (<a href="https://www.nme.com/features/tv-interviews/angus-cloud-euphoria-season-2-fez-lexi-3151231" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Angus Cloud</a>) house but gets no answers so limps over to Lexi’s (Maude Apatow) instead, where Cassie, Maddy and Kat are hanging out. After an excruciating conversation with Lexi and Cassie’s mum, she uses the bathroom and steals some pills and jewellery while she’s in there. When she emerges ready to leave, she finds Suze Howard has called her mum and everyone is gathered, waiting for her, at the bottom of the stairs.</p>
<p>When she cries that she can’t stay clean forever, Cassie (Sydney Sweeney) offers her some trite advice, unaware that she’s putting herself in the crossfire: “You’ve just got to take it day by day.” Rue gives her a withering look, before dropping a bombshell about her secret relationship with Nate on the room that will ultimately get her out again. Maddy (Alexa Demie) explodes at Cassie, unperturbed by Suze’s calls to halt that conversation until the intervention is over. Instead, Maddy chases Cassie upstairs, causing so much commotion Rue sneaks out.</p>

<p>She returns to Fez’s, who is now home, but no longer keeps drugs at his house after the raid in season one. Rue settles for using the bathroom, but sneaks into his grandma’s room when he’s not looking and starts going through her pills. Fez catches her and kicks her out, saying she can’t even take three because of “the principle” of the situation. On her wanders to find something else to take the edge off, Rue spots a couple leaving their big, fancy house and manages to sneak under the electric garage door before it closes. Inside, she starts filling her pockets with cash and valuables, but the couple return home quicker than she expects and find her hiding under the bed.</p>
<p>Now truly on the run, Rue comes across a police car at the worst possible time – right when she has a desperate need to be sick. When she can’t answer the cops’ queries into her wellbeing because she’s fighting the urge to vomit, they get out of the car and send her dashing down yet another street and into the middle of another busy road. What follows is an intense few minutes of a police chase that Rue eventually evades by hiding in a wheelie bin.</p>

<p>There’s just one port of call left for her now – Laurie’s house. Inside, she empties her pockets and explains her situation but promises to get the money soon. However, the dealer is rightfully doubtful that Rue is going to turn up thousands of dollars any time soon and suggests she could sell her body instead. Rue needs to be sick again and while she’s in the bathroom, Laurie prepares a fix of intravenous morphine for her, which she gives to her in the bath.</p>
<p>Later, Rue wakes up in bed and tries to get out of the house, but finds all the windows and doors are locked. She just about manages to sneak into the bathroom attached to Laurie’s room and out of that unlocked window without getting caught, dropping down from the second story just as a car is driving out of the compound. Once she’s out of the gates, Rue heads home, opening the door to find her mum sitting at the kitchen table waiting for her.</p>

<p>Nandi Bushell is back! We last heard from the 11-year-old prodigy at the end of December, when she dipped her toe into dance music with an <a href="https://www.spin.com/2022/01/nandi-bushell-fatboy-slim-right-here-right-now-drums/">improvisation</a> over Fatboy Slim’s “Right Here, Right Now.” Now, she’s getting back into the world of rock with a cover of Rush’s “Tom Sawyer.”</p>
<p>“This one is for you Professor Peart,” Nandi wrote in the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JaPPVioejBw&ab_channel=NandiBushell">YouTube</a> description. “I wanted to try a @rush song that would really challenge me. I watched an interview were the Professor said Tom Sawyer ‘remains so difficult to play’. So I thought I would give it a try. It’s actually really fun to play. I really hope I have done the song justice, Professor Pearts’ playing is incredible. I hope I got the strength and smoothness balance right. I have a new found love for RUSH now too!”</p>
<p>Unsurprisingly, she totally nails it.</p>

<p> </p>
<p>Though 2021 was a rough year for many people, Nandi seemed to thrive. Aside from continuing to wow the masses with her <a href="https://www.spin.com/2021/12/nandi-bushell-billie-eilish-happier-than-ever/">covers</a>, the young rockstar also <a href="https://www.spin.com/2021/08/foo-fighters-nandi-bushell-everlong-los-angeles-forum-live-performance/">performed with Foo Fighters onstage</a>, jammed with <a href="https://www.spin.com/2021/07/nandi-bushell-and-arctic-monkeys-drummer-matt-helders-release-covers-r-u-mine-and-brianstorm/">Arctic Monkeys’ Matt Helders</a> and <a href="https://www.spin.com/2021/11/nandi-bushell-queen-roger-taylor/">Queen’s Roger Taylor</a>, and released an original song with <a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/tom-morello">Tom Morello</a> and his son Roman called <a href="https://www.spin.com/2021/10/nandi-bushell-roman-morello-the-children-will-rise-up/">“The Children Will Rise Up”</a> to help raise awareness of the climate crisis. She’s a bona fide badass and we can’t want to see what else awaits her in 2022.</p>

<p>It’s a new year and the newly-engaged <a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/machine-gun-kelly">Machine Gun Kelly</a> seems to have a fresh outlook on life: Hello, world? You don’t fucking suck! MGK’s new song “emo girl” is the low-caps song for all of his high-caps feelings for his girl who still looks cute when she looks “half-dead.” WILLOW brings the pop-punk street cred and the one excellent line: “Holy fuck, I’m bleeding on your Blink tee.”</p>
<p>“emo girl” appears on MGK’s sixth album, <em>mainstream sellout</em>, which arrives March 25 (<a href="https://mgk.lnk.to/mainstreamsellout">pre-order it here</a>.) The album was executive produced by Blink-182 drummer and MGK collaborator, Travis Barker, who also played on WILLOW’s previously-released song “Transparent Soul,” from her fourth album, <em>lately I feel EVERYTHING</em>.</p>
<div>MGK is performing at this year’s NHL All-Star Game in Las Vegas, and also has a show with Halsey ahead of the Super Bowl next week at the Crypto.com Arena (formerly Staples Center).</div>

</ul>
<p>Cattrall played Samantha Jones, a publicist and close friend of Parker’s Carrie Bradshaw, in the original <a href="https://www.nme.com/series/sex-and-the-city"><em>Sex And The City</em></a> series which ran from 1998 to 2004, as well as reprising the character for the two spin-off films.</p>
<p>Her character was noticeably absent from the recent series reboot, however, following a public statement that she didn’t want to return.</p>
<p>In a new interview with <em><a href="https://variety.com/2022/tv/news/and-just-like-that-finale-spoilers-michael-patrick-king-sarah-jessica-parker-1235170531/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Variety</a></em>, Parker was asked whether she would be OK with Cattrall returning. “I don’t think I would, because I think there’s just too much public history of feelings on her part that she’s shared,” she replied. “I haven’t participated in or read articles, although people are inclined to let me know.”</p>

<p>It comes after Cattrall <a href="https://www.nme.com/news/kim-cattrall-criticises-sarah-jessica-parker-for-reaching-out-after-her-brothers-death-2240074">criticised her former co-star in 2018 for reaching out following the death of her brother, Chris Cattrall</a>.</p>
<p>“My Mom asked me today: ‘When will that @sarahjessicaparker, that hypocrite, leave you alone?’,” she wrote at the time. “Your continuous reaching out is a painful reminder of how cruel you really were then and now. Let me make this very clear (if I haven’t already). You are not my family. You are not my friend. So I’m writing to tell you one last time to stop exploiting our tragedy in order to restore your ‘nice girl’ persona.”</p>
<p>Parker has now said that Cattrall was never approached ahead of <em>And Just Like That.</em></p>
<p>“We didn’t go to Kim for this, you know,” she explained. “After we didn’t do the movie and the studio couldn’t meet what she wanted to do, we have to hear her and listen to her and what was important to her. It didn’t fit into what was important or needed for us.”</p>
<p>Though Cattrall didn’t appear on-screen throughout the series, the character of Samantha stayed present through occasional text messages sent to Carrie.</p>
<div id="jwplayer-video-DVWR0Z87"></div>
<p>“There’s a very distinct line between Samantha and Kim,” Parker continued. “Samantha’s not gone. Samantha’s present, and I think was handled with such respect and elegance. She wasn’t villainised. She was a human being who had feelings about a relationship, so I think we found a way to address it which was necessary and important for people that loved her.”</p>
<p>In <a href="https://www.nme.com/en_asia/reviews/tv-reviews/and-just-like-that-review-sex-and-the-city-3115348">a three-star review of <em>And Just Like That</em></a>, <em>NME</em> wrote: “The shockwaves allow episode two to settle into a more subdued groove where each of the central trio can finally behave like the characters fans know and love.”</p>

<p><a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/red-hot-chili-peppers/">Red Hot Chili Peppers</a> are back.</p>
<p>A little over two years after announcing they reunited with on-again, off-again guitarist John Frusciante, the alt-rock veterans unveiled their first new song since 2016 and there’s an album to boot. Titled <em>Unlimited Love</em>, the record is out on April 1 and sees the band reunite with producer Rick Rubin.</p>
<p>Their new single “Black Summer” after teasing the track on social media a few times in the past week. Last week, the band posted a cryptic video across their platforms with bassist Flea writing: “Been nurturing the feral animal for quite a while, it’s about time to set her free.”</p>
<div class="ast-oembed-container"><iframe style="width: 700px; height: 394px;" title="Red Hot Chili Peppers - Black Summer (Official Music Video)" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/OS8taasZl8k?feature=oembed" width="700" height="394" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p>Prior to “Black Summer,” Frusciante has not recorded an album with the band since 2006’s S<em>tadium Arcadium</em>. Recent rehearsal footage shows Flea and Frusciante jamming out in rehearsal. Josh Klinghoffer replaced Frusciante from 2009 to 2019.</p>
<p>“Our only goal is to get lost in the music. We spent thousands of hours, collectively and individually, honing our craft and showing up for one another, to make the best album we could,” the band said in a statement. “Our antennae attuned to the divine cosmos, we were just so damn grateful for the opportunity to be in a room together, and, once again, try to get better. Days, weeks and months spent listening to each other, composing, jamming freely, and arranging the fruit of those jams with great care and purpose. The sounds, rhythms, vibrations, words and melodies had us enrapt.</p>
<p>“We yearn to shine a light in the world, to uplift, connect, and bring people together. Each of the songs on our new album Unlimited Love, is a facet of us, reflecting our view of the universe. This is our life’s mission. We work, focus, and prepare, so that when the biggest wave comes, we are ready to ride it. The ocean has gifted us a mighty wave and this record is the ride that is the sum of our lives. Thank you for listening, we hope you enjoy it. Rock out motherfuckers!”</p>
<p>In a statement of his own, Frusciante explained the recording process.</p>
<p>“When we got together to start writing material, we began by playing old songs by people like Johnny ‘Guitar’ Watson, The Kinks, The New York Dolls, Richard Barrett and others. Ever so gradually, we started bringing in new ideas, and turning jams into songs, and after a couple of months the new stuff was all we were playing. The feeling of effortless fun we had when we were playing songs by other people, stayed with us the whole time we were writing. For me, this record represents our love for, and faith in each other.”</p>
<p>The alt-rock band is currently on a massive global tour with plans to tour Europe and to hit stadiums in the U.S. this summer in support of their new album.</p>

Many songs on the weirder ‘Painting With’ (2016) sounded like those ETs had discovered ‘shrooms.</p>
<p>The Baltimore group have a habit of leaning so heavily into their oddball proclivities that experimentalism comes at the expense of tunes. Their second audio-visual album, 2018’s <a href="https://www.nme.com/reviews/animal-collective-tangerine-reef-review-2366620" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.nme.com/reviews/animal-collective-tangerine-reef-review-2366620&source=gmail&ust=1644059143975000&usg=AOvVaw0OTe4rn_f4tZwtHkPBSp2b">‘Tangerine Reef’</a> – which <em>NME</em> branded <a href="https://www.nme.com/reviews/animal-collective-tangerine-reef-review-2366620" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.nme.com/reviews/animal-collective-tangerine-reef-review-2366620&source=gmail&ust=1644059143975000&usg=AOvVaw0OTe4rn_f4tZwtHkPBSp2b"> “unlistenable” </a>– is one example of this. Besides moments of promise (such as ‘Centipede Hz’’s hypnotic raga, ‘Wide Eyed’), there haven’t been many extensions of the mellifluous, twisted psych-pop crusades that helped the band break through in 2009 with ‘Merriweather Post Pavilion’.</p>
<p>Animal Collective have always worked best when they walk the tightrope between left-field experiments and hooky accessibility. That’s why it’s a relief to hear Avey Tare, Panda Bear, Deakin and Geologist retread more of the palatable sounds associated with their peak popularity in the mid-late ‘00s. On their 11th album, the group hark to the more-ish melodies of ‘Merriweather Post Pavilion’ and the hymnal-like meditations of 2005’s ‘Feels’ for a blissful collection.</p>
<p>‘Dragon Slayer’ introduces the album’s mellower makeup, with cymbal taps, cascading pan pipe-FX synths and twittering harmonies that herald a fresh dawn. As zither-style plucks, vibraphone clangs and brawnier beats take hold beneath chamber-pop singing, it sounds like Animal Collective have mixed their DNA with mid-career <a href="https://www.nme.com/artists/grizzly-bear">Grizzly Bear</a>.</p>
<p>These pastoral, impressionistic sounds pepper the album, including on slumbering closer ‘Royal And Desire’. The propellant ‘Cherokee’, which brims with jazz beats and muted, proggy space-rock riffs, finds North Carolina resident Avey Tare sound enriched by his adopted landscape, singing:<em> “Driving back from Cherokee / Dreaming things”.</em> It’s enough to inspire your own road trip.</p>
<p>That lyric notwithstanding, there’s little to go on, thematically, with ‘Time Skiffs’, other than the feeling that the music evokes: there is an overarching sense of transcendence throughout. ‘Prester John’ lifts you, with its ornate organs and its priestly<a href="https://www.nme.com/artists/the-beach-boys"> Beach Boys</a>-style harmonies, before morphing into abstract noises of brass and electronic detritus. If its typically elliptical lyrics are about a belief system breaking down (the title references a Christian legend), then the song works well as the sound of dismantlement.</p>

<p>‘Time Skiffs’ is a gorgeous, exploratory album, containing some of the greatest creations this curious lot have turned in for years.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/wallows">Wallows</a> have a new album on the way. Dylan Minnette and company have shared the details for their forthcoming second studio record, <em>Tell Me That It’s Over</em>. The band also shared the latest song from the album, “Especially You,” and its video.</p>
<div class="ast-oembed-container"><iframe style="width: 700px; height: 394px;" title="Wallows – Especially You (Official Video)" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/vAdDzKR--oM?feature=oembed" width="700" height="394" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p> </p>
<p>“It’s about when you’re in the early stages of a relationship and you get so worried that the other person’s mind will change at the flip of a switch,” Minnette said in a statement about the meaning behind the song. “It’s about stressing over the smallest things for no reason, but it’s definitely self-aware about the fact that I’m doing this all to myself.”</p>
<p>Following their 2019 <em>Nothing Happens</em>, the new album is out on March 25 and is available for <a href="https://wallows.lnk.to/TMTIO">pre-order</a> now. The 10-track record was produced by the multi-Grammy-Award-winning Ariel Rechtshaid (Vampire Weekend, HAIM, Adele). <em>Tell Me That It’s Over</em>‘s second song, “I Don’t Want To Talk,” released this past September.</p>
<p>Also in September, the rock band announced their <a href="https://www.wallowsmusic.com/tour">2022 tour</a>, and today, they added on UK, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand dates. Special guests joining them on the road include Spill Tab, Jordana, May-A, and Hatchie.</p>

<p>Ahead of its premiere at the Berlin Film Festival later this month, the trailer for the upcoming <a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/nick-cave">Nick Cave</a> and Warren Ellis’ documentary has been revealed. Titled <em>This Much I Know To Be True</em>, it explores the inner workings behind their most-recent albums, <em>Ghosteen </em>and <em>Carnage</em>.</p>
<div class="ast-oembed-container"><iframe style="width: 699px; height: 393px;" title="THIS MUCH I KNOW TO BE TRUE - LAVENDER FIELDS CLIP" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/kWivlKQyxjU?feature=oembed" width="699" height="393" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p>“I would have defined myself as a musician or a writer,” Cave says at the beginning of the new clip, “and I’m trying to wean myself off those definitions of myself that are about my occupation, and see myself as a person. … As a husband, and father, and friend, and citizen that makes music and writes stuff. Rather than the other way around.”</p>
<p>Directed by Andrew Dominik, <em>This Much I Know To Be</em> <em>True</em>, has yet to receive an official release date. It will premiere sometime between February 10-20 at the <a href="https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwi96fzl-OP1AhXPjYkEHdzeDzAQFnoECAoQAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.berlinale.de%2F&usg=AOvVaw0BxoK_SV5YAIcWlp5S23a8">festival</a>. <em><a href="https://www.spin.com/2021/02/nick-cave-and-warren-ellis-release-carnage/">Carnage</a> </em>was Cave and Ellis’ first record together, which was released last February. In 2019, Cave & The Bad Seeds released their most recent album, <em>Ghosteen</em>.</p>
<p>The long-time collaborative duo has been busy since the release of <em>Carnage. </em>Cave announced a<a href="https://www.spin.com/2021/09/nick-cave-announces-memoir-faith-hope-carnage/"> memoir</a>, the two detailed a <a href="https://www.spin.com/2021/11/nick-cave-and-warren-ellis-detail-spring-tour/">spring tour</a> that kicks off in March, and they teamed up for the soundtrack of another upcoming <a href="https://www.spin.com/2021/11/nick-cave-and-warren-ellis-team-up-for-french-nature-documentary-soundtrack/">documentary about French nature</a>.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/sasami">Sasami</a> has a new album on the way titled <em>Squeeze</em>. Today, she revealed its latest track, “Call Me Home.”</p>
<div class="ast-oembed-container"><iframe style="width: 698px; height: 393px;" title="SASAMI - Call Me Home (Official Audio)" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ghCr5C2ukIU?list=PLQqH9ipP84QlmZVOA-N3-f0c9b4c8Jj1B" width="698" height="393" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p> </p>
<p>“‘Call Me Home’ is dedicated to anyone who has blown up their life just to remember what it’s like to feel something,” Sasami said in a statement. “It’s about the darkness of feeling nothing and the creeping ache of apathy that can swallow you whole if you let it. It’s about skipping town, driving all night and knowing you’ll always have a home to come back to.”</p>
<p>In addition to the release of “Call Me Home,” Sasami also detailed her spring headlining tour which includes supporting dates for Haim in the U.S. and Mitski in the EU. Sasami’s own tour kicks off in early March at The Stone Church in Brattleboro, Vermont, and concludes in mid-April at the Teragram Ballroom in Los Angeles.</p>
<p><em>Squeeze </em>is set to release February 25 via Domino. The entirety was produced by Sasami herself, while Ty Segall lent a hand c0-producing a handful of tracks. Other notable contributors on <em>Squeeze </em>include Hand Habits’ Meg Duffy, King Tuff’s Kyle Thomas, Christian Lee Hutson, Barishi, Moaning’s Pascal Stevenson, Jay Bellerose and No Home.</p>
<p>Sasami already released “Say It,” “The Greatest,” “Skin A Rat,” and “Sorry Entertainer” off <em>Squeeze</em>. The upcoming record follows her self-titled debut which was released on March 8, 2019.</p>

<p>Listen to <a href="http://spin.com/tag/blu-detiger">Blu DeTiger</a> for 30 seconds and you’ll know exactly what defines the young artist’s music.</p>
<p>It’s the bass.</p>
<p>Not those thumping samples found on any modern pop track, but slinking lines plucked and slapped from a real bass guitar — sounds of a bygone, much funkier era.</p>
<p>For 22-year-old DeTiger (her real name), the bass has been an obsession since she was 7 years old.</p>
<p>“I remember thinking ‘So many girls play guitar and sing,’” DeTiger tells <em>SPIN</em>, taking a break from working on new music to call in from Los Angeles. “I was like, ‘I want to be different. I want to do something unique.’ And I’ve never looked back.”</p>
<p>DeTiger’s commitment to the bass as the centerpiece in her songwriting has launched the Manhattan native as one of the most exciting — and genuinely singular — new artists to ascend during the pandemic. Her debut EP, last March’s <em>How Did We Get Here?</em> has notched more than 80 million well-deserved streams. The pop-funk project oozed a cool, sexy confidence, providing a disco-rific soundtrack for getting lost in the city (or as lost as you can get in 18 minutes, anyway).</p>
<p>Last month, DeTiger hit “some bucket list stuff” when she <a href="https://www.spin.com/2022/01/jack-antonoffs-bleachers-make-saturday-night-live-debut/">performed</a> on <em>Saturday Night Live</em>. She was just filling in on bass for <a href="http://spin.com/tag/bleachers">Bleachers</a>, but she’s already manifesting her next appearance on the show for her own project.</p>
<p>But before the network TV exposure, DeTiger amassed more than 1 million followers on TikTok with her blend of original music and live bass covers. It’s the platform that first gave her a boost thanks to her fresh, virtuosic bass lines over everything from Baby Keem and Lil Nas X to Beyoncé and Justin Timberlake.</p>
<p>“[TikTok] gave me a lot more confidence in owning the bass, because I would post these videos and they would just randomly go super viral,” she says. “I was like, ‘Oh, people actually do like this. I’m going to lean into it.’”</p>
<figure id="attachment_378849" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 683px;" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-378849"><img src="https://static.spin.com/files/2022/02/blu-studio-184-683x1024.jpg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="Blu DeTiger" height="952" width="635" />
<figcaption id="caption-attachment-378849" class="wp-caption-text">(Credit: Abby Orons)</figcaption>
</figure>
<p>The covers started around spring 2020, just as DeTiger’s European tour opening and playing bass for alt-pop star Fletcher was axed due to <a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/coronavirus">COVID</a>. That tour was supposed to be the follow-up to DeTiger’s busy 2019, which consisted of pulling double duty (as an opener and then bassist) for The Knocks, Fletcher and Caroline Polachek. That success forced the busy teenager — who’d also taken on session work in between DJing in New York’s underground club scene — to drop out of New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts.</p>
<p>“One leave of absence turned into another leave of absence,” she says. “I was ready to go for it.”</p>
<p>All of the success earned DeTiger a deal with Capitol Records in November, and she dropped her major-label debut single that same month. The addictive “Blondes” delivered big hooks and her signature bass all tied around a darker underside. “They say that blondes, they have more fun, get what they want / Why am I so different, I’m just sitting at home, feeling dumb and alone?” DeTiger sings in the chorus.</p>
<p>“[It’s] piggybacking off of the pandemic and just wanting to feel alive again — getting out of those routines and mundaneness,” she says of the song, which was written with veteran songwriter Teddy Geiger (Shawn Mendes, Niall Horan). “It’s kind of just about doing something, or anything, to make you feel sort of extreme.”</p>
<p>More music is on the way, with a new track coming “in a few weeks” as she works toward her eventual debut LP. She’s hoping to get that out later this year, but until then, she’s booked for a list of shows and festivals, including Governor’s Ball and Bonnaroo, as well as her first headlining gigs in Europe. Of course, the European gigs will also be a bit of a throwback to when she was playing tight rooms before her more mainstream popularity kicked in.</p>
<p>“You only really do that once, when you’re coming up,” she says. “With everyone jumping in small, sweaty, 200 cap rooms in Berlin. I’m just really excited to do that sort of thing.”</p>
<p>But DeTiger assures that if she can do it, anyone can. And as she’s seen during her ascent, plenty are trying. The artist’s rise has led a crop of young fans to pick up the perennially less-loved instrument.</p>
<p>“A lot of people hit me up saying they bought a bass in the pandemic because they’ve seen some of my videos,” she says. “That means a lot to me because ultimately what I want to do is inspire other people.”</p>

<p>In solidarity with bandmate Neil Young in his <a href="https://www.spin.com/2022/01/neil-young-spotify-joe-rogan/">battle</a> with Spotify, <span style="font-size: 16px;">David Crosby, <a href="https://www.spin.com/2022/02/graham-nash-and-india-arie-pull-music-from-spotify/">Graham Nash</a>, and Stephen Stills (you know, CSN) are removing their discographies from Spotify. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 16px;">Although CSN has a lengthy history of disagreements, they have chosen to put them aside in support of on-again, off-again bandmate Young’s protest of Spotify’s practices. Young removed his music last week after <a href="https://www.spin.com/2022/01/neil-young-joe-rogan-spotify/">Spotify</a> refused to stop platforming The Joe Rogan Experience, a podcast that has spread COVID-19 and <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/vaccine-benefits.html?s_cid=10466:should%20i%20vaccinate:sem.ga:p:RG:GM:gen:PTN:FY21">vaccine</a> misinformation. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 16px;">Nash has already begun removing his solo music from the platform, with Crosby’s and Stills’ solo projects soon to follow. </span><span style="font-size: 16px;">Recordings from CSNY and <a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/csn">CSN</a> will also be removed shortly. Several other artists have pulled their music from the streaming platform amid the controversy including Joni Mitchell, </span>India.Arie, Failure and <a href="https://www.spin.com/2022/01/nils-lofgren-pulls-music-spotify/">Nils Lofgren</a>.</p>
<p>The controversy started about COVID-19 misinformation but has become an opportunity for artists to protest Spotify as a whole. Artists have called Spotify’s business model exploitative to artists, as they earn only a fraction of a cent per stream.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 16px;">“We support Neil and we agree with him that there is dangerous disinformation being aired on Spotify’s Joe Rogan podcast,” the band members said in a joint statement. “While we always value alternate points of view, knowingly spreading disinformation during this global pandemic has deadly consequences. Until real action is taken to show that a concern for humanity must be balanced with commerce, we don’t want our music – or the music we made together – to be on the same platform.”</span></p>

<p>Earlier this morning, the <a href="https://www.spin.com/2022/02/rock-hall-of-fame-2022-noms/">Rock and Roll Hall of Fame</a> announced Duran Duran is on the ballot for its Class of 2022. The British New Wave band is nominated alongside a class of a variety of iconic names in the industry including Dolly Parton, Carly Simon, Kate Bush, A Tribe Called Quest, and others.</p>
<p>“What a surprise and an honor! To be nominated by such a highly esteemed organization is truly special in this, our fortieth, year,” John Taylor, the bass guitarist said. “For decades now Duran Duran have been inspired by the incredible support of our beautiful and diverse fanbase around the world. To be considered by the Hall of Famers is truly next level. Let’s hope we make the cut!”</p>
<div>Simon Le Bon added, “Just to make it onto the nominations list is an honor that I never expected to experience… But for sure, this distinction is due in large part to the fact that we have an army of fans around the world who have unwaveringly supported us for the past four decades. We are all extremely grateful to all of you for making this happen.”</div>
<p>In 2019, Taylor and Le Bon inducted Roxy Music into the Hall of Fame, with a heartfelt <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=40AH1AiYYqc">speech</a> about the influence of Roxy Music had on their personal and professional lives.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/lucy-dacus">Lucy Dacus</a> released a new single “Kissing Lessons” along with an accompanying video calling back to her childhood. The new single explores Dacus’ experiences with a childhood friend as they disguise their innocent childhood romance as practice for the day weʼd start breaking hearts and taking names.” The upbeat nature of the song and narrative lyrical style conveys the sweet and innocent, yet infatuated, nature of the friendship.</p>
<p>“Rachel was a year older when I was in the second grade, I thought she might know everything. I took her word like a golden ring,” Dacus sings.</p>
<p>“Kissing Lessons” was recorded and mixed alongside Dacus’ acclaimed 2021 album<em><a href="https://www.spin.com/2021/12/lucy-dacus-home-video-interview-2021/"> Home Video</a>. </em>The shakey home video-esque filming style of the accompanying video brings out the song’s continuation of <a href="https://www.spin.com/2021/11/lucy-dacus-fallon-vbs/">childhood</a> themes that Dacus began sharing on <em>Home Video</em>.</p>
<p>The video, directed by Mara Palena acts like a video scrapbook, incorporating shots of polaroids, hand-drawn graphics and craft projects. The beloved 2021 album cemented Dacus’ status as a staple in indie rock and won over new fans with an exceptional, stripped-down collection of songs that detailed her coming of age from early childhood into her late teenage years.</p>

<p> </p>
<p>The single was first announced through a series of flyers that appeared in several U.S. cities with tear-off tabs for a “Kissing Lessons” hotline, which lead to a recording of Dacus’ new song. Now, the single is available everywhere to the public.</p>

<p>Hidden gems can often find listeners at the strangest times. That includes when they’re out walking their dog, like <a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/jenevieve">Jenevieve</a> was in a Los Angeles-area park back in July, before the 24-year-old vocalist stumbled on an abandoned box full of albums.</p>
<p>“There’s some CDs. I wasn’t gonna touch it because it was on the ground,” she says. “And then I just looked through, and I saw an Aaliyah CD. And I kind of got chills. I was like, ‘Why would anybody do this?’”</p>
<p>It’s a fair question.</p>
<p>There’s no logical conclusion to make as to why any somewhat-reasonable person would leave a copy of Aaliyah’s <em>One in a Million</em>–a CD that was out-of-production at that point for over two decades–in a box in the park. But nevertheless, Jenevieve found something precious when she was least expecting it, which is exactly what it feels like to come across her music for most who’ve been keeping up with her.</p>

<p>Her debut album, Division, dropped in September on the same day a certain music heavyweight decided to put out his own long-awaited LP, <em>Certified Lover Boy</em>. While Drake dominated charts for a couple months as he does, and while most artists would fear being outshined by such a big release, Division has still continued to be that box-in-the-park for listeners who’ve recognized Jenevieve’s breezy neo-soul and dangerously addictive pop last year. Now, the LP has given Jenevieve enough material and buzz to take on her first two proper headlining gigs ever at The Echo in Los Angeles and Cafe Du Nord in San Francisco this month.</p>
<p>When we catch up on the phone in late January, Jenevieve has wrapped up practicing her set with her live band, making sure everything runs accordingly–from perfecting the ‘80s punch of title track “Division” to very likely ensuring her voice dazzles on dreamy R&B kicker “Baby Powder,” her breakthrough single responsible for nearly 40 million streams on Spotify.</p>
<div class="ast-oembed-container"><iframe style="width: 696px; height: 392px;" title="Jenevieve - Baby Powder (Official Video)" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/O1Qh7j1yD8Y?feature=oembed" width="696" height="392" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p> </p>
<p>While the Interscope-backed blossomer is still waiting to properly hear her music on the radio–which has been a long-term goal for her–she’s already recognized it in public, and has seen it soundtracking some pretty high-profile hangouts. Hell, even Kanye West, Antonio Brown, Floyd Mayweather, Julia Fox, and Madonna were all bumping it in an Instagram clip just a few weeks ago. “Shoutout to whoever was DJing at the SoHo House,” she shares.</p>

<p>“I’ve heard my songs enough in stores, just shopping. There was somebody driving and then they were playing it,” she recalls. “But you know, just the fact that people are listening, that’s great. But radio’s like, you know, that’s like a whole other thing.”</p>
<p>Radio may very well become the next home for Jenevieve’s vast musical IQ, which is thanks in part due to her childhood roots and early love for dance, in no time. As she’s shared, she began dancing the moment she could walk and credits much of her music taste–which began with a draw to acts like Sade–to those formative years surrounded by everything from flamenco to hip-hop.</p>
<p>“There was a lot of Cuban music around me growing up,” Jenevieve says. “So it was like the live music and feeling of music with dance as well. It was just a mixture of like, you know, hip-hop, Britney Spears, or like Michael Jackson. And then like, I’ll go to salsa class, or just hear the instrumental flamenco music.”</p>
<p>As for the Jacksons, the comparisons have certainly been tossed around over the last couple of years. Some of the poppier cuts off <em>Division</em> have seen nods to Michael or Janet, and Jenevieve’s music video for “No Sympathy” has a similar pop-arty animated flair as Jackson’s 1987 track “Leave Me Alone.” She credits Al Jarreau for inspiring that visual in particular, too, and says plenty of what you see on the screen is also a reflection of her admiration of cinema.</p>
<div class="ast-oembed-container"><iframe style="width: 700px; height: 394px;" title="Jenevieve - No Sympathy (Official Music Video)" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/bBS35sn5qHs?feature=oembed" width="700" height="394" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>

<p>“A movie definitely has inspired me to get emotional to write a song. Or, like, sometimes a song will remind me of a movie,” she says. “And I’m trapped in the feeling that maybe that movie reminded me of something in my life or like. If I’m watching a movie, and I’m feeling a certain way, maybe I’d want to put that feeling that I felt in a song.”</p>
<p>Visuals aside, Jenevieve’s future is looking bright in the months ahead. Not just in terms of her upcoming headlining gigs, but for her own artistic growth following the release of her debut. <em>Division</em> may have established her as a hidden gem of sorts for some fans this past year, but for her, it’s time for more listeners to discover that box in the park.</p>
<p>“I still feel like I have more to show,” she says. “So it is a good introduction. But I still feel like I<br>have more to introduce”</p>

<p>When it was released in 2016, <em>UNCHARTED 4: A Thief’s End</em> pretty much redefined adventure video games. The end of Nathan Drake’s journey won dozens of awards, was nominated for dozens more and set a standard that wouldn’t soon be surpassed.</p>
<p>As of last week, <em>UNCHARTED 4</em> has been remastered and re-released for PS5 (and soon for PC) alongside its spinoff, <em>UNCHARTED: The Lost Legacy</em>, meaning that a whole new audience will get to experience the spectacular titles in higher resolution, better framerates, improved audio, and a whole bunch of other upgrades. While some may believe the original titles hold up just fine in 2022, the <em>Legacy of Thieves Collection</em> really does show off the power of the PS5, much like how the first releases displayed what was possible on PS4.</p>
<p>To learn about some of the ins and outs of the new collection, <em>SPIN</em> spoke with Shaun Escayg, Naughty Dog’s creative director, about both the latest release and the impact of the <em>UNCHARTED</em> series as a whole.</p>
<div class="ast-oembed-container"><iframe style="width: 699px; height: 393px;" title="Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection – Launch Trailer | PS5" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/F3Wl-OiZCO4?feature=oembed" width="699" height="393" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p><strong><em>SPIN</em>: What were the primary goals for the <em>Legacy of Thieves Collection</em>?</strong><br><strong>Shaun Escayg:</strong> One of the biggest goals for <em>UNCHARTED: Legacy of Thieves Collection</em> was to enhance how players experience the world of <em>UNCHARTED</em>, these stories, our complex characters and their struggles. On the PS5, the amazing environmental storytelling of <em>UNCHARTED 4: A Thief’s End</em> and <em>UNCHARTED: The Lost Legacy</em> is taken to a whole new level with increases in overall polygon count, object density, and massive upgrades to lighting and full-resolution textures. Even our characters — both playable and in cinematics — are utilizing our highest quality assets. We’re hoping when fans discover (or re-discover) these environments, they’ll be overwhelmed by how much we can do with this new technology.</p>
<p>In terms of sound, we took full advantage of the new audio architecture available with the PS5 to include 3D audio, which brings a whole new broadened sound experience to players that brings them into a living, breathing world. Haptic support has also been introduced for combat, traversal, cinematics, and vehicles, and adaptive triggers give all combat weapons a unique feel and “weight.” Whether you’re driving in a 4×4, scaling a mountain, or engaging in combat, the addition of haptic support and adaptive triggers make these experiences feel even more tactile and gratifying.</p>
<p>On the visual side, there is “Fidelity Mode,” which brings the experience into 4K. There’s also “Performance” and “Performance+ Modes,” which target 60 and 120 [frames per second] respectively. We seek to make our games as cinematic as possible, so we’re thrilled to have implemented ultra hi-res in-game character models and leveraged the PS5’s ultra-high-speed SSD to implement instant load times for a seamless, movie-like experience.</p>
<p><strong>Given the legacy — no pun intended — of the series, what was it like to bring some new life into the two most recent titles, particularly for the audience that never got to play them on PS4?</strong><br>At the core of every game we work on, we aim to make character-driven, cinematic stories, and it’s humbling to hear from fans how deeply the <em>UNCHARTED</em> series’ humor, unique cast, and adventure have resonated with them.</p>
<p>For those who haven’t experienced <em>UNCHARTED</em>, we hope that these remasters will give new players a chance to enjoy these games on the latest console generation. While we’ve gotten to know the characters of <em>UNCHARTED</em> intimately, we’re excited that even more people now have the chance to meet this complex and charismatic cast we’ve grown so fond of over the years. <em>UNCHARTED</em> holds an incredibly special place in our heart, and sharing our love of this world and its characters with a new audience is an awesome privilege.</p>
<p><strong>Seeing as <em>UNCHARTED</em> has been a PlayStation staple for so long, how does it feel to bring these games to PC as well?</strong><br>It’s been fantastic to partner with the incredible developers at Iron Galaxy to bring <em>UNCHARTED: Legacy of Thieves Collection</em> to PC. It’s a thrilling opportunity to share the characters and stories with the passionate PC audience and further expand the access to these games that we’re truly proud of. It also feels awesome since players have been asking for <em>UNCHARTED</em> on PC for a while now.</p>
<p><strong>All of these years, games and now a movie later, what’s it like to look back on the overall impact that <em>UNCHARTED</em> has maintained since the beginning?</strong><br>It’s fascinating to look at the entire <em>UNCHARTED</em> series and see how much Nathan Drake and, later, Chloe Frazer, have grown. Both are incredibly intrepid and charismatic protagonists who are immensely capable in a firefight and while navigating perilous situations. However, despite their age and experience, they struggle with their pasts and their emotions, just like the rest of us. In <em>UNCHARTED 4</em>, Nathan fundamentally grapples with his values in life. In <em>Lost Legacy</em>, Chloe is still unpacking unresolved grief and loss. For many players who experienced <em>UNCHARTED</em> when they were younger, it’s been remarkably refreshing to revisit Nathan and Chloe’s stories in adulthood and empathize with their struggles and triumphs.</p>
<p>It can’t be understated how humbling it’s been for the entirety of Naughty Dog that Nathan Drake has become such an identifiable character, even to people who never played an <em>UNCHARTED</em> game. <em>UNCHARTED</em> has forged a look and feel that’s so unique and lighthearted, and it’s always fun for us to see people revisit, replay and share their love of <em>UNCHARTED</em> year after year. It truly puts into perspective how significant <em>UNCHARTED</em> was and continues to be — both as a game and as a story.</p>
<p><strong>Is there anything else you would want to add about <em>Legacy of Thieves Collection</em>?</strong><br>We’re proud of the games we’ve made and staying true to our vision, and <em>UNCHARTED 4</em> and <em>UNCHARTED: The Lost Legacy</em> are so special to our history as a game studio. <em>UNCHARTED 4</em> kicked off so many new horizons for game development, such as facial tracking for mocap. It still holds up, and this collection was an opportunity to see how we could leap forward into the future and continue innovating. <em>Lost Legacy</em> bloomed from a DLC into a full-length game, and we had the opportunity to deeply explore a really complex and charismatic character from the series, fan-favorite Chloe Frazer, giving her the standalone adventure she deserved. Making <em>UNCHARTED</em> was a special adventure, and we’re so happy we had the chance to have another adventure with <em>UNCHARTED: Legacy of Thieves Collection</em>.</p>

<p>says singer, guitarist, producer and two-time Grammy Award winner Eric Krasno. “I remember seeing my brother’s band practice in my basement and thinking…‘I wanna do THAT!’” He played along with Led Zeppelin tracks to hone his craft.</p>
<p>“I used to sit and play along with Jimmy Page for hours on end. Jimi Hendrix too, I had a mini shrine in my bedroom growing up.”</p>
<p>He hasn’t stopped since. In addition to co-founding the bands Soulive and Lettuce, his expansive career includes three solo albums, four with Lettuce, 12 with Soulive, having produced and/or written songs for Norah Jones, Robert Randolph, Pretty Lights, Talib Kweli, 50 Cent, Aaron Neville, and Allen Stone. As a performer, he’s shared stages with a few bands you may have heard of: The Rolling Stones, Dave Matthews Band, John Mayer, and The Roots. At the end of the day, he’s a masterful musician and soulful guitarist who creates a style he describes as: “rock ‘n roll, blues, soul and hip-hop all mixed in there somewhere.”</p>
<p>His new solo album <em>Always</em> releases on February 4, and he reflects: “I often come up with a riff or chord progression and the let the melodies, words form to that. I also record voice memos all the time on the road and write words in my phone. I’ll revisit these ideas when I’m home or in the studio and flesh them out into songs.”</p>
<p><em>Always </em>reflects his journey as a husband and new father during the pandemic, and the surprising beauty through those changes. “I wrote a lot of the songs on <em>Always </em>during lockdown and while my wife was pregnant. I’d say the album is about silver linings in a dark time and appreciating what I have.”</p>
<p>Here’s a day in the life of Eric Krasno.</p>

<p><strong>Time I woke up </strong> 7:00 a.m. (I have a baby! Lol)</p>
<p><strong>Every day starts with </strong>Making coffee, making breakfast for Lewis (when I’m home).</p>
<p><strong>Breakfast </strong><strong>consists of </strong>Eggs or cereal.</p>
<p><strong>To get going I always </strong>Drink coffee and hopefully get a workout in.</p>
<p><strong>I don’t feel dressed without </strong>A hat:)</p>
<p><strong>Before I start working I must </strong>Coffee (again).</p>
<p><strong>Currently working on </strong>Finishing an album project called <em>King Canyon </em>and writing new songs for my next LP.</p>

<p><strong>But I’d really love to be </strong>Hiking in Yosemite.</p>
<p><strong>Book I’m reading </strong>The new Stephen King book <em>If It Bleeds</em>.</p>
<p><strong>I don’t know how anyone ever </strong>Works at a cubicle every day.</p>
<p><strong>If I had to play one album on repeat, it would be </strong>Jimi Hendrix–<em>Axis: Bold as Love</em>.</p>
<p><strong>The perfect midday consists of </strong>I love being outside in nature, I am big into walking my dog and taking the family to the park. We love going to Huntington Gardens in Pasadena.</p>
<p><strong>To help get through the day I need </strong>Music. I listen to music all the time, I become obsessed with certain artists’ albums. I also listen to mixes and demos of things I’m working on.</p>
<p><strong>No ta day goes by without speaking to </strong>I talk to my dad almost every day. He’s always incredibly supportive with my music and my career. When I’m on the road I FaceTime my son and wife all the time. FaceTime has been a game-changer for the touring parents.</p>

<p>“This year’s ballot recognizes a diverse group of incredible artists, each who has had a profound impact on the sound of youth culture,” said John Sykes, chairman of the <a href="https://www.spin.com/2021/10/rock-and-roll-hall-of-fame-induction-ceremony-2021/">Rock and Roll Hall of Fame</a> Foundation. “Their music not only moved generations but also influenced the sound of countless artists that followed.”</p>
<p>The Rock Hall’s voting pool consists of roughly 1,000 musicians, academics, journalists, and music industry professionals. Fans also have a say in which artists get inducted. Starting today through the end of April, fans can make their selections for the class of 2022 by going to <a href="https://www.rockhall.com/?gclid=Cj0KCQiA0eOPBhCGARIsAFIwTs79-0GWm5WDSWPpuuPrgTLhT9MtrLtM_ValevOWr7HI3cFvoAIwZoMaAvJ8EALw_wcB">rockhall.com</a> or by visiting the <a href="https://www.rockhall.com/?gclid=Cj0KCQiA0eOPBhCGARIsAFIwTs79-0GWm5WDSWPpuuPrgTLhT9MtrLtM_ValevOWr7HI3cFvoAIwZoMaAvJ8EALw_wcB">Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Museum in Cleveland</a>. Fan votes are counted together as one large ballot, which will be factored in with the other votes.</p>
<p>The artists with the highest votes will be announced in May with an induction ceremony in the fall. The induction ceremony for last year’s class of 2021 took place in <a href="https://www.spin.com/2021/10/rock-and-roll-hall-of-fame-induction-ceremony-2021/">Cleveland’s Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse, where inductees included the Foo Fighters, Jay-Z, and Carole King</a>. The location of the 2022 ceremony has not been announced.</p>

<p>Following a recent string of artists announcing their departure from Spotify, <a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/failure">Failure</a> is the latest group to remove their music from the popular streaming platform. Similar to <a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/neil-young">Neil Young</a> and Joni Mitchell’s departure, Failure cited COVID-19 misinformation as their primary reason for removing their music from the platform.</p>
<p>Additionally, the band also cited Spotify’s lack of payment of artists as a cause for their music’s removal. This has been a long been an issue for artists since the streaming giant’s inception and has become an even bigger talking point in the past week.</p>
<p>“Until now, our ambivalence about Spotify has been based on their draconian royalty calculation which essentially gives artists a microscopic fraction of the money being generated by their music on the platform,” the band wrote. “We’ve all seen the stories of just how little Spotify pays artists whose product powers their entire business model. It’s been a scam for artists since the beginning, following in the tradition of the major label model which preceded it.”</p>
<p>Multiple artists are following suit as <a href="https://www.spin.com/2022/02/graham-nash-and-india-arie-pull-music-from-spotify/">Graham Nash and India.Arie</a> also pulled their music from Spotify.</p>
<p>Failure’s entire catalog can be found on Bandcamp. Their latest album, <em>Wild Type Droid</em>, was released last year and is also featured. They were recently a guest on SPIN Presents Lipps Service, which you can listen to <a href="https://www.spin.com/2022/01/spin-presents-lipps-service-with-failure/">here</a>.</p>
<p><iframe style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FFailureband%2Fposts%2F469239004573568&show_text=true&width=500" width="500" height="706" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<p>See the full statement below:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>“Failure have wrestled with the question of Spotify and whether to have our newest music, which we control, on the platform. Until now, our ambivalence about Spotify has been based on their draconian royalty calculation which essentially gives artists a microscopic fraction of the money being generated by their music on the platform. We’ve all seen the stories of just how little Spotify pays artists whose product powers their entire business model. It’s been a scam for artists since the beginning, following in the tradition of the major label model which preceded it.</p>
<p>But artists who want to have their music heard by the most ears possible have had an tough decision to make. Do we give our music to a company that devalues our product to the point where royalty checks from Spotify have become the butt of humorous memes, or do we withhold our music from the platform and supposedly miss out on an “entire generation of music listeners?”</p>
<p>That is exactly where Failure have been since 2015 when we released our first album since reuniting. Acquiescing to the desire for more ear holes. But now, with Spotify’s recent policy shift that allows COVID vaccine misinformation to thrive on their platform, Failure have decided that enough is enough.</p>
<p>Beyond the moral issues raised by Spotify’s COVID decision, the issue of vaccine misinformation and how it directly affects the current situation in the live music space is simply untenable. Right now, Failure have a 31-date US tour booked for June. The last tour we had booked in 2019 was canceled because of COVID, which was a massive financial blow to the band. The vast majority of venues on our upcoming tour are requiring proof of vaccination or a negative test to see our show. We simply cannot square Spotify’s insistence on spreading misinformation about something that directly endangers our band’s supply chain, namely, human beings in a room with big speakers. There are multiple layers, and reasons for our decision, but looking at the capitalistic, free market angle, this band, like any other small business, is cutting ties with a partner that continues to cut into our bottom line. On that level, this problem is really that simple.</p>
<p>Of course, no system or business is perfect, but we have alternatives to Spotify that allow the band to be compensated in a more sustainable way, and without the need to associate ourselves with dangerous lies about public health policy.</p>
<p>If you want to buy lossless digital versions of our entire catalogue, we encourage you to purchase our music on Bandcamp: failureband.bandcamp.com</p>
<p>If you want to stream our music, we continue to offer our music through Apple and other streaming services.<br>We encourage other artists who want to be paid better for their music, and who don’t want to be in business with a company who is comfortable jeopardizing the industry to which they owe their entire business model, to join us.</p>
<p>Sincerely,<br>Failure”</p>

<p>Back in 2020, Lady Antebellum changed its name to <a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/lady-a">Lady A</a> due to its racial overtones. In doing so, the band didn’t realize there was already a blues musician named Lady A (Anita White) performing with that name. A back-and-forth ensued before the case eventually ended up in court.</p>
<p>Now, that case is settled.</p>
<p>In paperwork viewed by <em>SPIN</em>, Lady A the and Lady A the singer filed a joint request in U.S. District Court in Tennessee for the case to be dismissed. The terms of the settlement between the band and singer were not disclosed.</p>
<p>In July 2020, Lady A the band <a href="https://www.spin.com/2020/07/lady-a-the-band-files-trademark-suit-against-anita-lady-a-white/">sued</a> White after claiming that she asked for $10 million to give up her performing name. White <a href="https://www.spin.com/2020/09/lady-a-anita-white-sues-lady-a-the-band-for-trademark-infringement/">countersued</a> the band in September of that year for trademark infringement.</p>
<p>At the time of the band’s suit, the Seattle-based singer told <a href="https://www.vulture.com/2020/07/lady-a-lawsuit-interview-anita-white.html">Vulture</a> that “You don’t get to just come and take because you have that privilege,” she said. “We don’t have that luxury or that privilege, so we need somebody to help us and lift us up.”</p>
<p>In the same interview, she said that “The first contract they sent [on June 30] had no substance,” she said. “It said that we would coexist and that they would use their best efforts to assist me on social-media platforms, Amazon, iTunes, all that. But what does that mean? I had suggested on the Zoom call that they go by the Band Lady A, or Lady A the Band, and I could be Lady A the Artist, but they didn’t want to do that.”</p>
<p>Prior to the suit, White said that she couldn’t put her new music on streaming services due to the name discrepancy.</p>
<p><em>SPIN</em> has reached out to the band’s rep for comment.</p>
<p><em>Pamela Chelin contributed to this report.</em></p>

<p><a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/the-linda-lindas">The Linda Lindas</a> won over our hearts last year with their <a href="https://www.spin.com/2021/05/tom-morello-thurston-moore-linda-lindas/">viral performance</a> of “Racist, Sexist Boy,” and now they’re gifting us with a full collection of coming of age, punk rock classics. The quartet’s debut album is aptly titled <em>Growing Up</em>, and its cover art appropriately pays homage to the girls’ <a href="https://www.spin.com/2021/12/linda-lindas-nino/">love for cats</a> — featuring illustrated versions of each member rocking out as a feline-human hybrid.</p>
<p>Speaking of cats, the band also shared a video for the album’s title track that stars their animal companions. The clip was directed by Humberto Leon, co-founder of fashion brand Opening Ceremony and owner of Los Angeles restaurant CHIFA, and was shot on an iPhone 13 Pro Max.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Directing my first video for The Linda Lindas was a dream come true because I love the message and voice the girls have, and I am a true fan,” Leon said in a statement. “I was really inspired by the girl’s love of cats and wanted to take that to the next level and so the video is a conversation about turning points in their lives all being viewed through the gaze of their cats. It creates a narrative of whether the cats want to trade places with the girls or vice-a-versa. This video was extra special because I worked with the girls on designing the outfits with Batsheva, styling the looks with Rodarte and Warby Parker. The entire video was a collaboration between me and the girls. By shooting the video on iPhone 13 Pro Max, it created an intimacy with the video that felt like we were listening in on a day in the life of The Linda Lindas.”</span></p>

<p>In support of her record that was <a href="https://www.spin.com/2021/09/tori-amos-announces-new-album-ocean-to-ocean/">released</a> last year, <a href="http://spin.com/tag/tori-amos">Tori Amos</a> will embark throughout North America on tour.</p>
<p>Amos is slated to kick off the tour on April 27 in Dallas and will run through June. General tickets go on sale at 10 am local time this Friday, February 4, on <a href="https://girlieaction.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=1d59aca4aeedaab429816159e&id=8498a0cd9b&e=dd6bb61383">Amos’ website</a>.</p>
<p><em>Ocean to Ocean</em>, Amos’ 16th studio record, was released last October.</p>
<p><em>SPIN</em>‘s <a href="https://www.spin.com/2021/10/tori-amos-ocean-to-ocean-on-the-record-interview/">Liza Lentini went on the record</a> with Amos: “<em>Ocean to Ocean</em> feels like something stylistically new—big, sweeping, mythic—with a nod to her Little Earthquakes-esque earlier work.”</p>
<p>Lucky for Amos’ fans abroad—these are just the U.S. dates she announced today. Amos also plans to go from Ocean to Ocean and will tour in the UK and Ireland later this year.</p>

Arie Pull Music From Spotify<!--[CDATA[<p-->
<p><a href="http://spin.com/tag/graham-nash">Graham Nash</a> and <a href="http://spin.com/tag/india-arie">India Arie</a> are the latest artists to pull their music from Spotify due to Joe Rogan. However, their reasoning for doing so is very different.</p>
<p>Nash said in a statement that he “completely agrees” with his Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young bandmate <a href="http://spin.com/tag/neil-young">Neil Young</a> after “having heard the COVID disinformation spread by Joe Rogan on Spotify. I am requesting that my solo recordings be removed from the service.”</p>
<p>Young was the first of various artists to remove their music from the streaming giant, because of Rogan’s alleged spreading of COVID misinformation, but also in <a href="https://www.spin.com/2022/01/joni-mitchell-removes-music-from-spotify/">protest against</a> the unfair ways Spotify pays musicians. <a href="http://spin.com/tag/joni-mitchell">Joni Mitchell</a> and <a href="http://spin.com/tag/nils-lofgren">Nils Lofgren</a> followed Young <a href="https://www.spin.com/2022/01/nils-lofgren-pulls-music-spotify/">not longer after</a>.</p>
<p>Arie shared a statement on Instagram that she is removing her work off Spotify because Young “opened a door that I must walk through,” and that she finds Rogan problematic because of his “language about race.”</p>

<p><br>“What I am talking about is respect,” Arie continued, “who get it and who doesn’t. Paying musicians a fraction of a penny? And him $100 [million]? This shows the type of company they are and the company that they keep. I’m tired.”</p>
<p>Rogan faced controversy last month after saying it’s “very strange” that anyone would call themselves Black unless they’re from the “darkest place” of Africa in his interview with podcast guest Jordan Peterson. Their debate was about what it means to be Black, and Rogan continued with: “There’s such a spectrum of shades of people. Unless you’re talking to someone who is, like, 100% African, from the darkest place, where they are not wearing any clothes all day and they’ve developed all that melanin to protect themselves from the sun. You know, even the term Black is weird. When you use it for people who are literally my color, it becomes very strange.”</p>
<p>Yesterday, following Young and Mitchell’s exit from Spotify, Rogan took to his own Instagram <a href="https://www.spin.com/2022/01/joe-rogan-neil-young-spotify-covid/">an 11-minute video explaining</a> that he isn’t upset with the Godfather of Grunge, and that he wants to interview various medical experts from all sides on his show.</p>
<p>On Sunday, Spotify CEO Daniel Ek<a href="https://www.spin.com/2022/01/spotify-content-advisory-label-podcasts-covid/"> issued a statement surrounding the backlash</a> of COVID misinformation being shared on the streaming giant, which explained Spotify will now add a “content advisory” label to podcasts that discuss the virus.</p>

<p>A massive <a href="http://spin.com/tag/bright-eyes">Bright Eyes</a> project has been underway, and is finally coming to the surface throughout this year. Today, the band detailed the extensive reissuing of all nine of their studio records as a <em>Companion</em> series, which will see the release of 54 new recordings.</p>
<p>The re-recording project will release via Dead Oceans, and it will include additional recordings created by Bright Eyes at their own ARC Studios in Omaha, Nebraska. Each reissue will be accompanied by a <em>Companion </em>EP of five new Bright Eyes recordings of tracks from the original release and one cover that felt of “the era” to the band while recording the original. Receiving the reissue treatment first are the band’s first three records—<em>A Collection of Songs Written and Recorded 1995-1997 </em>(1998), <em>Letting Off The Happiness </em>(1998), and <em>Fevers and Mirrors</em> (2000). All three reissued records (available for <a href="https://bright-eyes.ffm.to/companions">pre-order</a> now) are out on May 27, and you can watch the band’s announcement trailer for the series now.</p>

<p>“It’s a meaningful way to connect with the past that doesn’t feel totally nostalgic and self-indulgent,” Conor Oberst said of the <em>Companion </em>series. “We are taking these songs and making them interesting to us all over again. I like that. I like a challenge. I like to be forced to do something that’s slightly hard, just to see if we can.”</p>
<p>Lucky enough for eager Bright Eyes fans—today, the band released three of the <em>Companion </em>series recordings: “Falling Out of Love At This Volume,” “Contrast And Compare” (featuring Waxahatchee), “Haligh, Haligh, A Lie, Haligh” (featuring Phoebe Bridgers).</p>

<p>Dilla, the highly influential rap producer, died in 2006. “In the 15 years since his death, journalists and academics have written about him, and musicians have extolled his work,” Charnas says. “But no one had put it all together in a definitive statement: That this beatmaker who worked out of a basement in Detroit literally pioneered a new rhythmic time-feel, one that traditional musicians and electronic producers around the world now use. So, I felt a sense of urgency to recount that story, that innovation, and make that argument so he can have his rightful place in history.”</p>
<p>Charnas began his work on <em>Dilla Time </em>in 2017 with a course he taught at the Clive Davis Institute at NYU. “The reporting and research started for me during the creation of that class, and continued until I submitted the manuscript in 2021,” he tells us. He conducted more than 200 interviews.</p>
<p>Charnas chronicles Dilla’s journey from gifted, Detroit-born James DeWitt Yancey to Grammy-nominated hip-hop producer, his work with acts like D’Angelo and Erykah Badu and how he influenced superstars like Michael Jackson and his sister Janet. When Dilla died of a rare blood disease at 32, he had never had a pop hit.</p>
<p><em>Dilla Time </em>is a portrait of a complex genius taken too young, as well as a glorious study of the music and culture he created.</p>

<p> </p>
<p><strong>SPIN: What would the world of hip-hop have been like without him? How did he revolutionize the genre?</strong><br><strong>Dan Charnas:</strong> Before J Dilla, musicians perceived time in two ways: straight time, where every beat is felt evenly; and swing time, where the beats are uneven. J Dilla on his drum machine collided these two feels, straight and swung, putting them in conflict with each other, which people often called “drunken” or “limping” or “sloppy.” Dilla used that new feel in the music his group Slum Village [did], and with MCs like Common in the late 1990s. But it was quickly adopted and amplified in the 2000s by artists like D’Angelo, in the artists coming out of Philadelphia like Musiq Soulchild and Floetry, and soon made its way onto songs by Brandy, Michael Jackson, and many more. Now that “Dilla feel” is ubiquitous in genres from hip-hop to jazz to pop, from Anderson .Paak to The 1975.</p>
<p><strong>Did you know him personally?</strong><br>I worked with him only once, back in 1999, when I went to Detroit with an artist I signed to Warner Bros. Records named Chino XL. We spent the weekend in the D and recorded two songs. I wasn’t even conceiving of that trip as something I needed to document, so I didn’t, much to my regret! We never connected in person after that, but the experience stayed with me as, of course, a huge fan of his music. It wasn’t until about a decade later, when I became an author and professor—and also married into a family from Detroit—that the pieces of my Dilla study started coming together.</p>
<p><strong>What would you like everyone to take away from the book?</strong><br>A lot of folks reduce his method to being simply “loose” and his technique to “not quantizing” on his drum machine (which means to turn off the mechanism that corrects little timing errors made by the fingers when programming the machine). Both of these are huge oversimplifications and really miss what made him a genius. He had <em>several</em>key techniques to achieve rhythmic conflict, and that conflict isn’t just about being “loose” and making mistakes, but about <em>intention</em>.</p>
<p><strong>Which of the legends are actually myths?</strong><br>Other than the quantization thing, there are other fables. I think there was a part of me that actually <em>wanted </em>to find some confirmation that Jay Dee had really produced “Got ‘Till It’s Gone” by Janet Jackson, or that Dewitt Yancey, his father, had ghostwritten “It’s a Shame” for The Spinners on Motown, which is a thing we’ve seen promulgated on websites. In four years, I could find no confirmation of either, and instead found evidence and testimony to the contrary.</p>
<p><strong>What were your big discoveries when writing the book?</strong><br>For me, it was the little discoveries that fascinated me: His Citizen Kane “rosebud” moment for his time-feel and obsession with error while watching the movie <em>A Piece of the Action </em>as a kid; or the story of how his budding solo career and deal with MCA came together and fell apart.</p>
<p><strong>Speculatively, what do you think J Dilla’s life would have been like if he hadn’t passed away in 2006?</strong><br>It’s so hard to say. For years before he got sick in 2003 with TTP, a rare blood disease, Dilla was dedicated to remaking himself, to relentless revision. So, it is very likely that he would have kept reinventing his sound. There’s a likelihood that his influence on jazz players would have pulled him closer to that world. Mostly when I think about James living, it is about how he would have gotten to know his two daughters, who are both talented and lovely people, and had the pleasure of being a father.</p>
<p><strong>What do you believe is the heart of J Dilla’s life story?</strong><br>One of James’ central themes was his struggle for credit—to be known and acclaimed for his work, and also the frustration at seeing his sonic signatures adopted by others with more commercial success. In some way, I hope this book can redeem that oversight. But more profoundly James Yancey’s story is one about how to be in the world, no matter what you might be facing. Dilla’s disposition was one of singular dedication to creating beauty, throughout a difficult illness, until the day he died. That’s what made him, in a real way, immortal.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/nirvana">Nirvana</a> has filed another motion to dismiss in their ongoing legal dispute with Spencer Elden, who is <a href="https://www.spin.com/2021/08/nirvana-sued-by-nevermind-baby-for-child-pornography/">accusing</a> them of sexually exploitive imagery on the <em>Nevermind</em> cover.</p>
<p>In the filing obtained by <em>SPIN</em>, Nirvana’s counsel makes their stance clear: “This case must end.” Nirvana is asking the court “for an order dismissing this action, with prejudice” and, once again, “on the ground that it is barred by the statute of limitations.”</p>
<p>Based on Elden’s allegations, Nirvana says that “no amendment is possible to salvage the claim.” Continuing, the motion says “In his ever-shrinking pleading, Elden has now dismissed all but one of the myriad state- and federal-law claims he previously attempted to charge against Defendants.” It also said that the 10-year statute doesn’t cover when Elden was a minor (he would have been 18 at the time and turned 28 in 2019).</p>
<p>Nirvana also hit back at Elden by stating that he capitalized on his fame as the <em>Nevermind</em> baby. “Indeed, Elden, long before 2011, celebrated and found his own ways to monetize his fame as the ‘Nirvana Baby.’ Thus, the 10-years-from-discovery-of-violation-that-occurred-as-a-minor provision does not save his claim.”</p>
<p>Earlier this month, Nirvana successfully had the case <a href="https://www.spin.com/2022/01/nirvana-nevermind-naked-baby-lawsuit-dismissed/">dismissed</a> due to Elden’s legal team missing a December 30 deadline to file an opposition to Nirvana’s motion to dismiss the lawsuit. The judge gave Elden’s team two weeks to file paperwork which they <a href="https://www.spin.com/2022/01/nirvana-child-pornography-lawsuit/">submitted</a> on January 12. The suit is seeking “damages arising out of each Defendant’s violations during the 10 years preceding the filing of this action and since, of federal child pornography and commercial child exploitation statutes.”</p>
<p>A hearing is scheduled to take place on February 24 at 10 am in Los Angeles.</p>

<p>If you’ve been a fan of <a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/david-bazan">David Bazan</a>’s music for the past few decades, you know that releasing a surprise album is a sign of personal growth and acceptance. The veteran indie rocker has released numerous albums — both under the Pedro the Lion moniker and as a solo artist — that have dealt with his messy break with Christianity and the psychological damage the Church caused him.</p>
<p>Keeping close tabs on his emotional state both with himself and his fans is something that he has always valued. But when it came time to release his new <a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/pedro-the-lion">Pedro the Lion</a> album, <em>Havasu </em>(which he spent the past year quietly recording), the idea of presenting this batch of songs all at once without advance singles seemed like the right thing to do.</p>
<p>Since reviving Pedro the Lion after nearly 15 years, <em>Havasu</em> marks his second entry in a proposed five-album project that examines each of his childhood hometowns. Understandably, the thought of doing the typical promotion cycle to air out his wounds seemed less than ideal.</p>
<p>“That part of the process of teasing the record and putting singles out and having people respond can be great,” Bazan tells <em>SPIN</em> over the phone. “But with this particular record, I do think it’s served a lot more by people just getting to hit play and get immersed and hear the songs in order.”</p>
<figure id="attachment_378768" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 1024px;" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-378768"><img src="https://static.spin.com/files/2022/01/pedrothelion_rr_highres_0376-1024x683.jpeg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="Pedro the Lion" height="465" width="698" />

</figure>
<p>Listening to the album, it’s easy to understand why.</p>
<p>Narratively, the album picks up right where 2019’s <em>Phoenix</em> left off. A young Bazan and his family packed up their belongings and found a new home nearly 200 miles away in the town of Lake Havasu. A God-fearing 12-year-old Christian, Bazan grappled with complicated feelings of faith and understanding of his true self. Having to be the “new kid” in school didn’t make things any easier. As he puts it on <em>Havasu</em>’s “Too Much,” sometimes there is “too much desperation for a casual conversation.” In many ways, the performative defense mechanism of being a “people pleaser” around new faces has followed him throughout his entire life.</p>
<p>But maintaining a family life and friendships has proved to be difficult as a touring artist. In 2020, Bazan announced on <a href="https://twitter.com/davidbazan/status/1300871243709652992?s=20">Twitter</a> that he and his wife of 20 years would be separating. Finding an understanding of where the trouble all started is exactly why Bazan feels the need to dig deep into his past throughout these records.</p>
<p>“I really did believe that once I stopped moving — once we settled down — that I would be able to be more revealing about the struggles that I had previously,” he says. “I did stay transient in a way that has been deeply painful, and part of these records is trying to get at why. I mean, there’s obviously therapy and all kinds of other ways to do that — and I have — but there’s something about this process [where] it’s the only way that I’ve ever been able to organize my intelligence, my energy and my actions.”</p>
<p>On <em>Havasu</em>, Bazan explores cringe-inducing moments like his first awkward forays into dating (“Teenage Sequencer” and “My Own Valentine”) and the ultimate shame he felt having to answer for his mistakes in that department to a higher power (“Old Wisdom”).</p>
<p>Years after his first over-the-phone therapy session while on tour in 2017, Bazan now understands that he’d been dealing with unresolved grief and trauma for years and had only been processing it through his own work.</p>
<p>“These records feel unique to me — and this one more than any other one — because it’s the first time that I think I’m specifically admitting how much I was masking,” he explains. “There was a lot of discomfort in my body which was just like, ‘No, man. Don’t do this. You know this is gonna hurt everybody that you love.’ But I did it anyway, for other reasons that I think ultimately were important and are better for all the people that I love — especially my kids.”</p>
<p>There are also good memories on <em>Havasu</em>. The song “My First Drumset” tells the story of how he first became obsessed with music after taking up the drums for his school band. In the song, Bazan explains how music gave him an outlet to “play sports about my feelings.” It’s a passion that he feels saved him from letting out his pain and aggression in toxic ways as a young white male.</p>
<p>“I do think that that’s where all of us tend to get into debt first, is to our feelings,” Bazan says of his family, whom encouraged him to pursue his music. Those early days of practicing drums gave him a positive way to lose himself in repetition. It has been a helpful routine that has continued to center him to this day. “I think I just looked for those moments more often and realized that to participate [in music] is to participate in something bigger than yourself, even if you don’t have a concept of God or transcendence or something like this. Those moments create a kind of reverence and a wonder that you want to have again.”</p>
<p>As Bazan closes the book on <em>Havasu</em>, the next Pedro the Lion record will follow his family as they moved to Santa Cruz, California. Bazan feels a new pit in his stomach each time he approaches one of these trips into the past. But as he sees it, the results have been worth the pain he has to relive.</p>
<p>“I can see a perspective where this isn’t for everybody,” Bazan says. “Or maybe I’m sensitive to criticism that I’ve heard whispers of over time that doing public processing of trauma or a therapeutic kind of art-making isn’t the highest form of art. But for me, after having done these two — and feeling the effects of them on me and my psyche and just how I feel about them as records of mine — I’m excited to finish the project that I have envisioned.”</p>

<p>Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo has crafted a new streaming platform as a home for thousands of the iconic alternative rock band’s demos, cleverly named “Weezify.” The demos range from Cuomo’s early solo work from decades ago to <a href="https://www.spin.com/2017/10/weezer-pacific-daydream-album-stream/">Weezer</a> demos as recent as 2017’s <em>Pacific Daydream</em>.</p>
<p>In all the recent controversy surrounding <a href="https://www.spin.com/2022/01/joni-mitchell-removes-music-from-spotify/">Spotify</a>, maybe it’s time for a new platform to take over. Cuomo certainly seems to think so. Yesterday morning he <a href="https://twitter.com/RiversCuomo/status/1487839161075654656?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1487839161075654656%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nme.com%2Fnews%2Fmusic%2Fweezers-rivers-cuomo-has-built-his-own-streaming-platform-weezify-3150618">tweeted</a>, “Tired of Spotify? Come on over to Weezify” along with the link to the platform.</p>
<p>The app store description describes the platform as “a Spotify-like player for all of Rivers Cuomo’s demos (1975 – 2017).” It details that the platform holds close to 3,500 demos. Within it, users can create, share and follow playlists.</p>
<p>“I made this app myself,” Cuomo said in the description. “It took me all of 2021 to make. I hope you enjoy it.”</p>
<p>Weezify is available for download on the <a href="https://apps.apple.com/us/app/weezify/id1598140531?itsct=apps_box_badge&itscg=30200">Apple App Store</a> and through <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.riverTube">Google Play</a>.</p>
<p>In addition to Cuomo’s contributions to the music streaming world, Weezer continues working on their multiple-albums project called “Seasons” to be released across 2022.</p>
<p>There are a total of four albums in the “Seasons” anthology, each with its own distinct style and inspirations. An album will be released on the first day of each season in 2022.</p>

<p>Today marks the 50th anniversary of the Bloody Sunday massacre that inspired <a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/u2">U2</a>‘s hit, “Sunday Bloody Sunday,” and the band commemorated the date with an <a href="https://twitter.com/U2/status/1487823990592782336">acoustic rendition</a> of the song. The black and white clip features Bono and the Edge performing, and near the end footage from the horrible atrocity that took 14 lives flashes on the screen.</p>
<p>In the last verse, Bono changes the lyrics, singing: “Here at the murder scene / The virus of fiction, reality TV/ Why so many mothers cry/ Religion is the enemy of the Holy Spirit guide/ And the battle just begun/ Where is the victory Jesus won?”</p>
<p>On January 30, 1972, 13 civilians were shot and killed by members of the British Army’s Parachute Regiment at a march protesting internment without trial in the Northern Ireland town of Derry. A 14th victim later died from injuries sustained during the protest.</p>
<p>“Sunday Bloody Sunday” is the opening track on U2’s 1983 album <em>War</em>. See Bono and the Edge’s acoustic performance below.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/katy-perry">Katy Perry</a> took the <em><a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/saturday-night-live">Saturday Night Live</a> </em>stage for the fourth time last night. New York City and the rest of the northeast was walloped by a bomb cyclone, the show went on as planned. Perry performed, “When I’m Gone,” her new single with Alesso that was released last month. In addition to the DJ joining her, the pop star was flanked by some interesting-looking dancers.</p>
<p>Perry also performed “Never Really Over” from her latest album, 2020’s <em>Smile</em>.</p>

<p>The performance comes on the heels of Katy Perry’s first run of residency shows in Las Vegas. In fact, her <em>PLAY </em>show has been so successful that she recently revealed she was adding 16 more dates to the residency, which will now run March 2nd-19th and May 27th-June 11th.</p>
<p>The <em>SNL </em>episode, which saw Willem Dafoe make his hosting debut, was the third of 2022. It followed <a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/maneskin">Måneskin</a> making an <a href="https://www.spin.com/2022/01/maneskin-saturday-night-live-performance/">electric debut</a> last week and <a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/bleachers">Bleachers</a> ensuring their first time on the show was a <a href="https://www.spin.com/2022/01/jack-antonoffs-bleachers-make-saturday-night-live-debut/">memorable one</a> by bringing out some special guests, including Jack Antonoff’s dad during “How Dare You Want More.”</p>
<p><em>SNL </em>will air next on February 26. John Mulaney will host for the fifth time and LCD Soundsystem will be the musical guest.</p>

<p>And now it’s three. E Street Band and Crazy Horse guitarist <a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/nils-lofgren">Nils Lofgren</a> is the latest musician to pull music off Spotify. In a statement posted on Neil Young’s <a href="https://neilyoungarchives.com/news/3/article?id=Viewpoint-A-Message-From-Nils-Lofgren">website</a>, he detailed his decision.</p>
<p>“A few days ago, my wife Amy and I became aware of Neil and Daryl standing with hundreds of healthcare professionals, scientists, doctors, and nurses in calling out Spotify for promoting lies and misinformation that are hurting and killing people,” Lofgren said.</p>
<p>“When these heroic women and men, who’ve spent their lives healing and saving ours, cry out for help you don’t turn your back on them for money and power. You listen and stand with them,” the guitarist continued. “As I write this letter, we’ve now gotten the last 27 years of my music taken off Spotify. We are reaching out to the labels that own my earlier music to have it removed as well. We sincerely hope they honor our wishes, as Neil’s labels have done, his. We will do everything possible towards that end and will keep you posted.”</p>
<p>Lofgren joins Young, his friend of 53 years, and Joni Mitchell to pull their music off Spotify mainly to protest <em>The Joe Rogan Experience</em>. Young threw down the gauntlet on Monday declaring that Spotify choose between “Rogan or Young. Not both.” On Wednesday, the veteran rocker had his music taken down. On Friday evening, Mitchell <a href="https://www.spin.com/2022/01/joni-mitchell-removes-music-from-spotify/">joined</a> Young by having her label pull her music off Spotify.</p>
<p>We caught up with Lofgren in December where he <a href="https://www.spin.com/2021/12/nils-lofgren-neil-young-bruce-springsteen/">spoke</a> about Young and Crazy Horse’s new album, <em>Barn</em>, and hinted at Bruce Springsteen’s return to the road sometime soon.</p>

<p>Make it two. In a letter titled “I Stand With Neil Young!” posted on her website Friday evening, <a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/joni-mitchell">Joni Mitchell</a> announced that she’s joining Neil Young in pulling her music from Spotify.</p>
<p>Mitchell expressed her discontent about the platform’s willingness to spread “lies” that she says are costing people their lives.</p>
<p>“I’ve decided to remove all my music from Spotify,” Mitchell’s <a href="https://jonimitchell.com/">note</a> said. “Irresponsible people are spreading lies that are costing people their lives. I stand in solidarity with Neil Young and the global scientific and medical communities on this issue.”</p>
<p>Additionally, Mitchell shared a letter that was written to Spotify by a number of doctors who were critical of an episode of the <em>Joe Rogan Experience </em>where he had Dr. Robert Malone on. You can read that <a href="https://jonimitchell.com/library/view.cfm?id=5101">here</a>.</p>
<p>On Monday, Young made his proclamation on his website in a now-deleted letter that the streaming giant choose between him and podcaster Rogan. Ultimately on Wednesday, Young requested that his music be pulled from the platform and it was. Mitchell is now following him.</p>
<p>Young detailed his decision in <a href="https://www.spin.com/2022/01/neil-young-joe-rogan-spotify-2/">another letter</a> on his website on Friday. He said that he wasn’t pro-censorship and went on to rip the quality of Spotify’s audio as well.</p>
<p>A rep for Mitchell confirmed that her statement is accurate and that there will be no further statements on the issue.</p>
<p><em>SPIN</em> has reached out to Spotify for further comment.</p>

<p>Mustafa Sheikh can still remember the damp smell of his middle-school classroom on rainy days. It wasn’t the typical scent of wet weather – that kind of earthy, metallic odor one would expect. Instead, it was the smell of soggy t-shirts and moist pants, sweat and skin. The classroom air was humid and hard to breathe. That smell never left the New Zealand native’s mind, and neither did the memories of his impoverished classmates who couldn’t afford raincoats or umbrellas, lunches or laundry detergent. As Sheikh grew older, his desire to affect change grew stronger. Years after those middle-school days, he graduated from Auckland University with a degree in honors chemistry – a subject so complex, even Google sometimes didn’t have the answers he sought. Luckily, science merely served as a catalyst – a metaphor at most – because Sheikh was interested in an alternate kind of alchemy: helping disadvantaged youth find and follow their dreams.</p>
<p>In 2017, burdened by student debt and in need of some quick cash, the then-22-year-old took a job at a local KFC. It was there that he conceived of his charity, <a href="https://breadcharity.com/">Bread</a> – an organization that assists disadvantaged children with career guidance, goal setting, and positive mindset building. Weeks later, powered by a combination of good karma and hard work, Bread’s first charity fundraising event was in full effect: 30 supercars – Lamborghinis, Ferraris, and the like – were being police-escorted down the main street in Auckland with a Bread emblem across each hood.</p>
<p>Throughout the years, the charity has contributed mentorship, gift drives, clothing donation, and so much more. Then, in 2020, when the dreaded lockdowns limited just about everything Bread – which comes from <strong>Br</strong>ave, <strong>Ea</strong>ger and <strong>D</strong>etermined – had built, Sheikh decided to use his love of music, specifically hip hop, to continue the cause and raise awareness. He released <a href="https://youtu.be/GRjKDKNMLxA">a rap</a> under his pseudonym, Lil Mussie, about the struggles he’d seen firsthand. These days, in addition to making <a href="https://youtu.be/wyBtgXMcxsM">music</a> with Kanye’s team, Sheikh is busy building <a href="https://breadcharity.com/bread-studios">Bread Studios</a>, mini youth centers equipped with state-of-the-art recording technology that the kids can use for free.</p>
<p><em>SPIN</em> spoke with Lil Mussie to further dive into what Bread is all about and how he plans to help disadvantaged children take over the world.</p>
<p> </p>
<div class="ast-oembed-container"><iframe style="width: 701px; height: 395px;" title="One Minute with Mussie | Bread" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/C0ciOzq-_-M?feature=oembed" width="701" height="395" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p> </p>
<p><strong><em>SPIN</em>:</strong> <strong>How do Bread Studios work? Are they available to all children?</strong></p>
<p><strong>Lil Mussie:</strong> We built the first Bread Studios within an already existing youth shelter, so that studio is currently only available to children who are in the system. The other studio is inside Edwin Markham Middle School [in Los Angeles]. We’re hoping that these studios will be a beacon of hope for the many kids who have been abused, neglected, abandoned and disadvantaged. I wanted to create a space for these kids that feels disconnected from the rest of the world, a place where the problems they’re facing can be forgotten. All that matters within those walls is them investing in themselves, following their dreams, and creating something.</p>
<p>We also invested a lot of money to make the studios look brand new. We wanted to give these kids the highest quality stuff. I want the space to help them realize that they can reach their dreams. It’s all about breaking the cycle. Not only can the kids make music in the studios, they can exchange knowledge and creativity. They can even do podcasts and create videos on the computers. It’s such a powerful space, and it teaches kids the fundamentals of life. If they want to start a business, it’s the exact same thing as making a song. You start with an idea, you put it down on paper, you market it, you get the right people involved, you collaborate.</p>
<p><strong>Between the Bread events and Instagram, it seems like there’s a lot of focus on supercars. Why supercars instead of showing some of the kids you’re helping?</strong></p>
<p>Like the quality of the studios, the supercars are so important. I want the kids to see that these things are real, they are right in front of them, and they can have them too. I never want the kids to see themselves and suddenly think, “Do we live in poverty? Are we poor?” Some of these kids are facing significant problems, and they don’t yet notice the severity of things – they just want to play on the playground with their friends – so I don’t want to distort their reality by exposing them in any way. Yes, we’re helping, but I’d rather show <em>how</em> we’re raising all this money than who we’re raising it for.</p>
<p><strong>How does the charity function? Where does the money raised go?</strong></p>
<p>The supercar events are our main fundraising component. The drivers pay a fee to register their vehicles, and we use that money for student mentoring, clothing and uniform donations, police work like our annual Christmas giveaway, and constructing these studios. I don’t take a cut for myself. I’m not about to take food out of their mouths. We’ve also been lucky enough to have some really great sponsors, like Fender, Home Depot, and Focusrite, to name a few.</p>
<p><strong>How can people get involved?</strong></p>
<p>Attend the events, support the cause, and spread the word.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/bloc-party">Bloc Party</a> revealed their latest single, “The Girls Are Fighting,” the second track from their upcoming album, <em>Alpha Games</em>. This will be their sixth studio album and their first full-length release since their 2016 album <em>Hymns</em>.</p>
<p>In this single, frontman Keke Okereke sings of a night gone wrong, detailing disastrous events he witnesses. The song evokes the very physical nature of fighting as rhythmic chanting and pounding instrumentals create suspense in the track. Okereke states the track is inspired by ’70s glam rock and Adam Ant. This single continues a trend in Bloc Party’s discography as they attempt to return to their classic sound.</p>
<div class="ast-oembed-container"><iframe style="width: 696px; height: 393px;" title="Bloc Party - The Girls Are Fighting (Official Video)" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/RHTavrDgDYg?feature=oembed" width="696" height="393" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p>“There was no specific incident that inspired this song – it was more a composite of lots of things I’ve seen over the years when being in clubs and seeing violence erupt with feuding love rivals. I’ve always had a slight obsession with those sorts of moments; like a fuse being lit, when actions turn from words into violence. You can learn a lot about who people really are in those moments,” Okereke said in a statement about the high-energy track.</p>
<p>The new single is also accompanied by a <a href="https://blocparty.lnk.to/GirlsAreFightingPR">video</a> taking place in the Repton Boxing Club, a Victorian Bath House that was converted into a boxing gym in East London’s Bethnal Green.</p>
<p>Alpha Games is set for release on April 29 via Infectious/BMG. The album is available for pre-order <a href="https://blocparty.lnk.to/alphagamesPR">here</a>.</p>

Spotify: Where Do We Go From Here?<!--[CDATA[<p-->
<p>On Monday, rock legend <a href="http://spin.com/tag/neil-young">Neil Young</a> published an open letter to his label and management on his own <a href="http://NeilYoungArchives.com">website</a> asking that all his music (over 40 studio albums and many more live albums and compilations) be removed from the streaming service Spotify. Citing Spotify-exclusive podcast <em>The Joe Rogan Experience</em> and Rogan’s role as a voice of <a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/coronavirus">COVID-19</a> misinformation and vaccine skepticism, Young made an ultimatum: “They can have Rogan or Young. Not both.”</p>
<p>The letter has since been deleted from Young’s website, but it appears that he’s sticking to his guns. By the end of the day on Wednesday, his albums were all gone from Spotify. All that remains on his artist page are a scattered array of collaborations and compilation tracks, the most popular of which is a 1992 live recording of Young, <a href="http://spin.com/tag/bob-dylan">Bob Dylan</a>, <a href="http://spin.com/tag/tom-petty">Tom Petty</a> and other stars singing Dylan’s “My Back Pages” from the 1992 Dylan 30th anniversary concert, which has over 9 million streams.</p>
<p>“We regret Neil’s decision to remove his music from Spotify, but hope to welcome him back soon,” a Spotify spokesperson said in a statement on Wednesday.</p>
<p>Neil Young is one of the most respected musicians alive, both for his prolific and influential musical output as well as his personal integrity and outspoken activism. In the 1980s, Young and Geffen Records engaged in a <a href="https://ultimateclassicrock.com/neil-young-geffen-records-infamous-rock-lawsuits/">historic legal battle</a> over the “uncharacteristic” and “not commercial” albums he recorded for Geffen. Label owner David Geffen ultimately apologized to Young for the lawsuit, forever enshrining the rocker as an advocate for artists’ rights and creative freedom.</p>
<p>In 1985, Young also co-founded Farm Aid with <a href="http://spin.com/tag/john-mellencamp">John Mellencamp</a> and <a href="http://spin.com/tag/willie-nelson">Willie Nelson</a>, an annual concert to benefit family farmers across America. Beyond that, Young has written several notable protest songs and topical lyrics throughout his career, from his response to the 1970 Kent State shootings in Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young’s “Ohio” to his 2006 anti-George W. Bush song “Let’s Impeach the President.”</p>
<p>The bottom line is that when Young speaks, many listen.</p>
<p>On paper, he may be the ideal candidate for a musician who can stand up to a huge corporation like Spotify and enact positive change. Throughout the week, countless fans and musicians have voiced support for Young’s letter and posted the hashtag #DeleteSpotify on social media. What we have not seen, however, is a domino effect with any more stars of Young’s stature delivering the same ultimatum to Spotify. And if Young continues to stand alone, will it make a difference?</p>
<p>Young isn’t the first major artist to pick a public fight with Spotify.</p>
<p>In November 2014, <a href="http://spin.com/tag/taylor-swift">Taylor Swift</a> pulled her catalog from Spotify, citing the low rates at which Spotify pays artists per stream. But while Swift’s 2015 open letter to Apple Music about not paying royalties on streams from free trial periods got an immediate next-day response from Apple changing its policy, Spotify was much slower to budge. Swift eventually brought her music back to Spotify in 2017, and it’s been hard to tell whether she got what she wanted from Spotify or eventually caved. In 2018, Spotify announced a “Hateful Content & Hateful Conduct Policy,” which removed the music of alleged abusers like <a href="http://spin.com/tag/r-kelly">R. Kelly</a> and <a href="http://spin.com/tag/xxxtentacion">XXXTentacion</a> from official Spotify playlists and algorithmic recommendations. But Spotify walked back the policy after <a href="http://spin.com/tag/kendrick-lamar">Kendrick Lamar</a>’s label, Top Dawg Entertainment, threatened to remove music from Spotify over what they saw as “censorship.”</p>
<p>Swift and Lamar may be able to lean on Spotify in their hit-making prime, but an artist like Young (who peaked commercially almost 50 years ago) may have less leverage. Young’s 1972 hit “Heart of Gold” had 236 million streams on Spotify before it was taken off the service this week, but the most popular track from his latest album, December’s <em>Barn</em>, has just 1.7 million streams and his last top 10 album was 2012’s <em>Psychedelic Pill</em>.</p>
<p>The truth is that Young has stuck his neck out before, and sometimes his missions have wound up feeling quixotic and aimless. In 2012, Young founded PonoMusic in an attempt to provide a digital music format with superior sound quality compared to MP3s, iTunes and streaming services. Young promoted Pono on network television, got backing from major labels and raised millions on Kickstarter for an iPod-style device called the PonoPlayer. But the products never caught on, and PonoMusic was unceremoniously discontinued in 2017.</p>
<p>While Young has inspired countless musicians to fight unpopular battles, he hasn’t always had their backs either. <a href="http://spin.com/tag/pearl-jam">Pearl Jam</a> boycotted Ticketmaster around the same time they backed Young on 1995’s <em>Mirror Ball</em>. But Young continued selling tickets through Ticketmaster, and Pearl Jam eventually ended their battle with the ticketing giant after several years of it impeding their ability to tour, with few other major acts ever joining their boycott.</p>
<p>The latest battle began with Spotify’s major push into podcasting in 2019, with its $100 million acquisition of <em>The Joe Rogan Experience</em> in 2020 representing one of its biggest investments. Spotify’s decision to spend large sums on podcasters (after building its platform on the catalogs of countless musicians and fighting tenaciously to keep royalty rates low) has made it especially divisive among artists, even compared to competitors like Apple Music and Tidal. As predicted, Rogan’s enormously popular podcast has become Spotify’s biggest magnet for controversy, due largely to the political views and medical advice that he and his guests have espoused.</p>
<p>In 2021, Spotify removed 42 <em>Rogan</em> episodes from its platform, so it’s possible that Rogan or one of his guests will say something so inflammatory that Spotify will no longer stand by him. Earlier this month, 270 healthcare professionals wrote an open letter calling on Spotify to take action against the COVID-19 misinformation on <em>Rogan</em> and other podcasts. Just this week, Rogan’s comments about race in an episode with psychologist Jordan Peterson created a new wave of outrage wholly separate from the pair of open letters.</p>
<p>For now, Spotify seems committed to its investment in Rogan and his enormous audience. Neil Young gave Spotify a choice, and its response is crystal clear. if they can’t have Young and Rogan, they choose Rogan.</p>

<p>In anticipation of <a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/charli-xcx">Charli XCX</a>’s upcoming album, <em>CRASH</em>, she released her new single “Beg For You” featuring Rina Sawayama. Charli and Rina have reigned over the pop world in recent years, producing fun and futuristic pop records that expand upon the ever-growing genre of hyperpop. Their years-long friendship seemed to indicate that a studio collab was always a possibility and here we are.</p>

<p>The track evokes the bubblegum sweetness of early 2000s pop that Sawayama and Charli are known to bring to their tracks. A dance sample from September’s “Cry For You” is featured on the song alongside production from Digital Farm Animals.</p>
<p>Charli’s highly-anticipated album, <em>CRASH</em>, is set to be released on March 18th. It has been two years since her last full-length album release, <em>how i’m feeling now</em>. This will be her fifth studio album and the final album in her record deal. To coincide with the album release, Charli will begin her North American tour in late March followed by her UK and European tour starting in May.</p>

<p>January has been a busy time for bands looking to call it quits. First, Every Time I Die split, pretty acrimoniously. Today, it’s ’90s ska outfit <a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/mighty-mighty-bosstones">Mighty Mighty Bosstones.</a></p>
<p>The group announced their decision to split on their Facebook page on Thursday afternoon. The Bosstones had been together for nearly 40 years and released 11 studio albums.</p>
<p>You can see their statement regarding the break up below.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>After decades of brotherhood, touring the world and making great records together, we have decided to no longer continue on as a band.<br>Above all, we want to express our sincere gratitude to every single one of you who have supported us.<br>We could not have done any of it without you.<br>Love Always,<br>The Mighty Mighty BossToneS</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Last year, the Bosstones released their final studio album, <em>When God Was Great</em>, in 2021 via Hellcat Records.</p>
<p>The Mighty Mighty Bosstones formed in Boston in 1983. The band featured most of the same lineup throughout their lengthy career.</p>
<p>The band shot to fame in the 1990s when they inked a deal with Mercury Records. Beginning in 1993, the group went on a tear, releasing <em>Don’t Know How to Party</em>, <em>Question the Answers</em>, and their mainstream breakthrough with 1997’s <em>Let’s Face It</em>. From that last album, they released their biggest hit, “The Impression That I Get,” which remains a staple on rock radio to this day. The song peaked No.1 on the <em>Billboard</em> Modern Rock Tracks chart. The album also featured singles “The Rascal King” and “Royal Oil.”</p>
<p>Following their run of success, the band also took a hiatus between 2004 and 2006. They’d get back together in 2007 and would go on to release four more albums between 2009 and 2021.</p>

<p>Stacked heels, glam Gucci ensembles and delightfully lascivious asides, <a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/maneskin">Måneskin</a>’s <em>Saturday Night Live</em> <a href="https://www.spin.com/2022/01/maneskin-saturday-night-live-performance/">debut</a> stunned. It was tamer than the quartet’s club show at New York City’s Bowery Ballroom gig in October, where bassist Victoria De Angelis played with only black electrical tape over her nipples and frontman Damiano David spat water (Iggy Pop-style) into the eager mouths of the rabid young female crowd. De Angelis and David then gleefully leaped into the arms of their adoring acolytes to crowd-surf, before David invited the entire audience on stage.</p>
<p>They accepted.</p>
<div class="ast-oembed-container"><iframe style="width: 699px; height: 394px;" title="Maneskin at The Bowery Ballroom" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/73Bfhaprq2E?feature=oembed" width="699" height="394" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p> </p>
<p>Everyone who could fit clambered onto the stage and squeezed in next to the band as they played. Dozens of thrilled, disbelieving women shimmied onstage.</p>
<p>Possessed of the smolder of Elvis Presley (whom David shares a January 8 birthday with, along with David Bowie) and style and energy of Perry Farrell, David is seated side-by-side with his bandmates on a sofa in a Times Square hotel on a freezing January afternoon before they hit Stage 8A. With fuzzy coats, pointy boots, animal prints and frilly lavender shirts — and that’s the guys — the band look runway-ready. Måneskin are attentive and, barely of legal drinking age, shine with a fresh-faced decadence that smacks of ‘70s European jet setters.</p>
<p>The band’s cri de Coeur… the song “Zitti E Buoni,” sung in their native Italian, celebrates individuality, championing that “Your difference is your strength.” It won the 2021 Eurovision Song Contest — yes, the competition that Will Ferrell and Rachel McAdams jabbed at comedically with 2020’s <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7q6Co-nd0lM&ab_channel=Netflix"><em>Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga</em></a>. But jokes aside, Eurovision is a huge deal, and the 2021 broadcast was watched by a <a href="https://deadline.com/2021/05/eurovision-song-contest-2021-183-million-viewers-1234766929/">total</a> of 183 million in 36 European markets.</p>
<p> </p>

</figure>
<p>After collectively returning from a quick cigarette break, Måneskin acknowledged that although they’ve been playing together since high school (2015, for those who want to feel old), life has become BE and AE – before and after Eurovision. Actually, they clarify, it was winning Italy’s biggest music competition, Sanremo, last March that launched their wild ride and set the stage for Eurovision.</p>
<p>Only a few years ago, they were busking on the streets of Rome in tie-dye shirts and jean jackets. On <em>Saturday Night Live</em>, as <a href="https://www.gucci.com/us/en/st/stories/advertising-campaign/article/gucci-aria-campaign-maneskin">stars</a> of a Gucci ad campaign that celebrates the “joyful impetus of eros,” they’re on stage with Kristen Wiig, Pete Davidson and Willem Dafoe following the band’s sexually charged performance of “I Wanna Be Your Slave.” But being born 25 years after the show first aired, <em>Saturday Night Live</em> was not on Måneskin’s radar.</p>
<p>“Like we never watched it live as an appointment [television], but we saw plenty of sketches and tapes on YouTube and social media,” David says matter-of-factly. “Like, every cool person goes there.”</p>
<p>And despite Will Forte’s “Moan-a-skin” live TV pronunciation on <em>SNL</em>, it’s “Mon-e-skin,” a word tossed out by their half-Danish bassist as a potential band name in 2016. It means “moonlight.”</p>
<p>With millions in sales both in the U.S. and Europe, it seems that Americans are either oblivious to the charmingly upstart Italians or obsessed with them. “Beggin,'” their commanding cover of the Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons gem, went viral on TikTok. The song first appeared on Måneskin’s 2017 album, and it currently has 884,708,565 Spotify streams.</p>
<div class="ast-oembed-container"><iframe style="width: 699px; height: 394px;" title="Måneskin - Beggin’ (Official Video)" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Xg72z08aTXY?feature=oembed" width="699" height="394" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p>Covers of Iggy Pop’s “I Wanna Be Your Dog” and the Killers’ “Somebody Told Me” cement Maneskin’s place as rhythmically propulsive rockers — think Franz Ferdinand channeled through Hanoi Rocks and Marc Bolan. Thomas Raggi is a baby-faced guitar god, while drummer Ethan Torchio’s long black hair and buff physicality peg him as a goth Fabio.</p>
<p>Despite their insouciant charm, not a single band member is immune to their stratospheric success. “We all freak out.” a smiling De Angelis says. They managed to keep semi-cool upon opening for the Rolling Stones in Las Vegas on November 6, 2021, where the Italians decked out in matching red, white and blue stars and stripes sequined outfits.</p>
<p>And si, they met Keith Richards and Mick Jagger.</p>
<p>“The moment with Keith was amazing,” David says, his unbuttoned shirt showing off his <em>Il ballo della vita</em> (the title of the band’s 2018 debut that means “the dance of life”) chest tattoo. “He comes toward us, and he says, [David does a Richards drawl] ‘Hello, guys. I have no idea who the fuck you are. But I’ve been told that you’re doing great. So good job. I see you’re a real band with guitars and stuff. So keep doing like that. And good luck.’”</p>
<p>Jagger was more effusive.</p>
<p>“In the dressing room with Mick was completely different,” David remembers. “It was, ‘Oh, guys, I know you. You’re amazing. Thank you for being here. It’s gonna be an amazing night.’ And he’s super energetic, and I don’t know how he managed to do that because he’s 73 [actually 78], But yeah, he’s like a demigod.”</p>
<figure id="attachment_378685" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 1024px;" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-378685"><img src="https://static.spin.com/files/2022/01/Maneskin-024-Orzziontal-1024x878.jpeg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" height="599" width="698" />
<figcaption id="caption-attachment-378685" class="wp-caption-text">(Credit: Courtesy of Måneskin)</figcaption>
</figure>
<p>Playing in front of an audience where they were mostly unknown was a challenge the band accepted.</p>
<p>“It was fun, but hard at the same time,” DeAngelis says. “When we got on stage at first, people didn’t know us, of course. And they didn’t really react to what we were doing. So…”</p>
<p>“It took five or six songs to get them into the mood,” David says, talking over his bassist. “But we had eight songs.”</p>
<p>“When we were done, we went down in the pits, looking at the gig and it was fun, because everyone was like, ‘Fuck, I didn’t know you, and you’re amazing, guys,’” DeAngelis says. “Like, older people, the age of our grandparents.”</p>
<p>Måneskin’s next major American show will be at <a href="https://www.spin.com/2022/01/coachella-2022-lineup/">Coachella</a> in April, where the audience won’t be boomers. It’s safe to say there won’t be any new music by then, but David says he’s got tons of lyrical ideas — due in part to the success of the past 10 months.</p>
<p>“Basically, our lives changed and our careers changed,” he says, “So it feels very natural for me to describe what happened [and] what’s happening in my head with the music. Sometimes, it actually helps me understand what I’m going through, what makes me happy and what is not making me happy.”</p>
<p>But the frontman is coy about sharing details. “I started writing music even before Måneskin. My first lyrics are [when I was] 12 years old. But sometimes it gets hard, because you don’t have the time to settle down and just go through your mind.”</p>
<p>That said, David smiles. “Let’s say I’m talking a lot about myself, which I always do.”</p>

<p> </p>
<p>Like everything, however, this just may be a lofty goal. In the not-so-recent past, West has changed and adjusted album dates and songs on the fly.</p>
<p>Last year, <em>Donda</em> was released in August (after some back-and-forth with West’s label Def Jam). It was ultimately nominated for a number of Grammys, including Album of the Year and Best Rap Album. Prior to its release, West hosted a number of release parties, most controversially, the one in Chicago that included Marilyn Manson and DaBaby.</p>
<p>Earlier this month, Kanye West was a suspect in a battery incident that took place in downtown Los Angeles. According to <a href="https://www.foxla.com/video/1022967"><em>Fox 11 Los Angeles</em></a>, West was accused of punching a male fan who asked him for an autograph.

</ul>
<p>Directed by Jane Campion, the western drama film follows charismatic rancher Phil Burbank (Cumberbatch), who torments his younger brother George (Jesse Plemons) when he brings home his new wife Rose Gordon (Kirsten Dunst).</p>
<p>Speaking an interview with Nihal Arthanayake on <em>BBC Radio 5 Live</em>, the actor said he received a surprise at the end of filming the last scene, by which point <a href="https://www.nme.com/news/film/benedict-cumberbatch-pissed-off-jesse-plemons-with-his-method-acting-3137140" target="_blank" rel="noopener">he’d already “pissed off” Plemons with his method acting</a>.</p>
<p>“I embodied him for a more intense and locked in period of time than any other character I’ve played to date and that took a while to unravel,” he told Arthanayake.</p>
<p>“The last scene in the picture was my scene of shooting, and at the end of it… I heard this clinking of glasses, the lights came up and <a href="https://www.nme.com/artists/jeff-buckley">Jeff Buckley</a>’s ‘Hallelujah’ was playing.</p>
<p>“I looked up and I was surrounded by the crew with champagne and candles and they were raising a glass to say goodbye to him and hello to me because they hadn’t met me! I’d been the character with them for every minute.”</p>
<p>You can <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0013rdt" target="_blank" rel="noopener">listen to the interview in full here</a> from 1:03:00, and watch the official trailer for <em>The Power Of The Dog</em> below, which is out now on <a href="https://www.nme.com/tag/netflix" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Netflix</a>.</p>

<p>Cumberbatch also opened up about the challenge of playing Phil in the film. “I’m very keen [on how] this film looks under the hood of toxic masculinity,” he explained. “We’re living in an era where survivors of toxic masculinity are able to speak out… and I think that’s incredibly important.</p>
<p>“Strength is actually about feeling able to express your emotions. To give, as an adult, the space to hold a child who is expressing their emotions and not try to stop that or restrict it and to talk about people with respect, love and equanimity.</p>
<p>“It’s trying to create the kind of conversation where people grow up understanding their privilege of life, no matter what societal level it begins at, and more importantly to understand the need other have for respect and understanding of equality, and to raise sons as feminists.”</p>
<div id="jwplayer-video-8JLW7W8C"></div>
<p>On the subject of future roles, the actor added that he would “still don the cloak of levitation as <a href="https://www.nme.com/reviews/doctor-strange-film-review-1759778" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Doctor Strange</em></a> with great glee,” but values “variety” in his projects.</p>
<p>“I will still work with very script-heavy and smart, bright and warm Wes Anderson projects with a completely different set of requirements, expectation and skillset needed,” he said.</p>

<p>“Are you ready for a bit of Echo Victor?” a reverberating <a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/eddie-vedder">Eddie Vedder</a> announces at the top of his third solo album <em>Earthling</em>, invoking the radio alphabet code for “EV.” And all at once, it’s clear this is the Pearl Jam frontman’s 13-song transmission from beyond our world, our time, our lives, and our dimension.</p>
<p>He is calling out into the universe with his own Voyager Golden Record to share what it is to be human here on our planet. Or is it nakedly in a dreamlike alternate timeline where the ‘90s are in the future, and everything all is a warm, analog avocado-and-harvest-gold rave-up visited by legends like Elton John, Stevie Wonder, Ringo Starr, and touched by love and loss equally?</p>
<p>This is Major Tom beyond ground control, the man who fell from Earth.</p>
<p>In the capsule out in the cosmic ocean with Vedder is a most iconoclastic crew. Grammy-winning producer Andrew Watt, who has <a href="https://www.spin.com/2020/12/andrew-watt-producer-interview/">worked</a> with folks including Ozzy Osbourne, Post Malone and Miley Cyrus, has been a Pearl Jam fan since way back but doesn’t wear it on his sleeve here as co-writer and multi-instrumentalist on many songs, helping steer Vedder within himself. Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith and multi-instrumentalist Josh Klinghoffer form the rest of the core Earthling band.</p>
<p>Vedder has never been shy about naming his influences, and here they form a buoyant cloud lifting the enterprise up among the stars. <em>So</em>-era Peter Gabriel floats through the soaring opener “Invincible.” Mellow Petty-esque lead single “The Long Way,” shares DNA with Tom Petty (and a thematic extension from Pearl Jam’s own “Parting Ways,” perhaps). Why yes, that is Heartbreaker Benmont Tench on the organ. There are X-by-way-of-the-Clash moments like “Good and Evil,” and a winking Mike Watt name check on “Rose of Jericho” (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77ZmpOCqkOA">Econo</a>!).</p>
<div class="ast-oembed-container"><iframe style="width: 697px; height: 393px;" title="Eddie Vedder - Long Way (Official Lyric Video)" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/sHqd5Q7pYo0?feature=oembed" width="697" height="393" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p>When you reach the rockabilly love song “Try,” that wild harmonica announces Stevie Wonder has entered the airlock. The Beatles vibes command “Mrs. Mills,” which even features Ringo Starr on drums, wherein EV tells the story of an Eleanor Rigby-like singer he would have saved from loneliness if he could. Fab Four elements on “Picture” (which includes Paul McCartney’s latter-day drummer Abe Laboriel Jr.) soon give way to full-on “Philadelphia Freedom” stadium boogie as Sir Elton John takes the center mic, and Vedder duets in a humbler, breathy tenor. Love, naturally, is the throughline, of this <em>Earthling</em>’s transmission, but being Vedder, there is a dip into darkness and “hearts fit together because they’re broken.”</p>
<p>Third single “Brother The Cloud,” a semi-tropical mid-tempo rocker, comes close to focusing in sharply from hopeful macrocosm to darker microcosm. Is the blue-eyed brother that is suddenly gone Vedder’s real-life brother Chris Mueller, who died in a 2016 climbing accident? Is it his musical “brother” Chris Cornell, who died in 2017? Is it neither? Either way, he “would bleed out my knees and pray if I could give all that I have to bring back yesterday.”</p>
<p>Indeed, the most metaphysical moments in this life intergalactic examining human be-ing are Vedder’s family cameos. His teenage daughters sing backing vocals on one song each, “Try” (Olivia) and “Long Way” (Harper). And Earthling closes with the eerie, bittersweet “On My Way,” which features Vedder duetting with his actual late father, oh he of partially autobiographical Pearl Jam hit “Alive.” It is a stunning contronym in many ways. “I’ll be on my way” his crooning, long passed ‘70s singer dad Edward Louis Severson, Jr. croons ethereally, as if from light years away, atop a sad piano refrain. Is he suggesting departures or return? “Can you hear?” hopeful the son, father-of-two Vedder, replies urgently. “It’s Echo Victor.” “When we love, invincible,” Vedder says as the last line of his dad’s “I’ll be on my way,” floats away into space.</p>

<p>Speaking to the<a href="https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/awards/story/2022-01-26/nicolas-cage-on-pig-elvis-dracula-and-his-career" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em> Los Angeles Times</em></a>, the actor revealed that his crow – named Hoogan – lives in a geodesic dome at Cage’s Las Vegas residency.</p>
<p>He also spoke about his cats Merlin and Teegra, and said that the bird had “taken to calling me names,” adding that it was “comical” to him. “When I leave the room, he’ll say, ‘Bye,’ and then go, ‘Ass.’”</p>
<p>“Crows are very intelligent. And I like their appearance, the Edgar Allan Poe aspect,” Cage added, presumably in reference to the 19th century American writer’s famous poem, <em>The Raven</em>, which does not feature a crow. “I like the goth element. I am a goth.”</p>
<p>Last month (December 14), the first trailer for <em>The Unbearable Weight Of Massive Talent</em> was released, showcasing Cage playing a version of himself – watch the clip below.</p>

<p>Directed by Tom Gormican, the action comedy film stars Cage as a fictionalised interpretation of himself who is “creatively unfulfilled and facing financial ruin”.</p>
<p>Alongside Cage, Pascal and Haddish, the film also stars Sharon Horgan (<em>Catastrophe</em>) as Cage’s ex-wife, Lily Sheen as Cage’s daughter and Neil Patrick Harris (<em>Gone Girl</em>) as Cage’s agent.</p>

<p>There’s no shortage of video games that want to bring music to the forefront, but few (or none) of them do it quite like <em>The Artful Escape</em>.</p>
<p>With a storyline centered around music, gameplay that intentionally feels more like the badassery of a concert than the challenge of a video game, and enough classic rock references to please your burnout uncle who thinks video games are for children, <em>The Artful Escape</em> is almost music-focused to a fault.</p>
<p>Of course, a title that unique (and published by the indie giant Annapurna Interactive) couldn’t be made by traditional developers. Instead, it was directed by Johnny Galvatron (of Australian rock band, The Galvatrons) and his crew at Beethoven & Dinosaur, while the music was put together by producer/writer/artist Josh Abrahams and guitarist Eden Altman.</p>
<p>With <em>The Artful Escape</em>’s recent release on PlayStation and Switch (it already earned multiple award nominations for its 2021 release on Xbox and PC), SPIN spoke with the Australian trio about what went into bringing rock music and video games together like never before.</p>
<p> </p>
<div class="ast-oembed-container"><iframe style="width: 699px; height: 394px;" title="The Artful Escape - Announcement Trailer - Nintendo Switch" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/5ibv-_MlI5g?feature=oembed" width="699" height="394" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p> </p>
<p><em><strong>SPIN</strong></em>: Seeing as <em>The Artful Escape</em> released on PlayStation and Switch this week, what was it like to bring it to people this time around compared to the first release?</p>
<p><strong>Johnny Galvatron:</strong> Instead of a mad dash, it’s more of a moonwalk across the finish line this time. All the reviews are out and everyone already has a view of the game, so I feel like this is just walking into another garden. I’m totally fine with it. It’s been really easy — especially for the art team where you don’t have to do anything. I’m totally excited for people to play it on PlayStation and Switch, and I think it’s going to be a good title for both. It’s lovely to see it on the ridiculous specs in the PS5, and it’s good to see it in the cool little handheld screen of the Switch.</p>
<p><strong>A lot of games like to talk about the importance of music, but few actually center around music like <em>The Artful Escape</em> does. How did you go about fusing the music world into a video game so thoroughly?</strong></p>
<p><strong>Galvatron:</strong> It’s something that sits in between an album, a game and a film for me. It’s something that hovers about in a weird space, which I think is why people on the musical spectrum of things really got into it. There’s a lot of music games I really enjoy, but I don’t know if any of them really feel like playing music. When you’re playing music, there’s a list of songs that you can play effortlessly — like you don’t really think about what you’re playing when you play “Smells Like Teen Spirit” — and there’s a sense of power in there. I think what’s cool about <em>The Artful Escape</em> is being able to contribute to the music and be that virtuoso within big, epic symphonic tracks, and I think there’s something immensely satisfying about that.</p>
<p><strong>Considering that you all come from a musical background, how did that connection affect your work together on this project?</strong></p>
<p><strong>Galvatron:</strong> Well, Josh and I have worked together since I was a wee child. He walked up to my door one day and said, “I heard you making some weird Van Halen shit.” I was like “What are you doing here, Josh Abrahams of ‘Addicted to Bass’ fame?” Josh had this big worldwide hit and was this big superstar, so it was so dope to hang out. Josh has been my favorite collaborator through my whole artistic career. We have a really amazing working relationship. Just to be able to sit for weeks on end in a studio and come up with this crazy alien music was an absolute treat, an honor and a privilege.</p>
<p><strong>Josh Abrahams:</strong> Mainly because I make such a great toasted cheese sandwich. The music is all just like sprinkles on top. But we also had pretty much the Excalibur of session musicians in Eden, who really made the job easy for us. It’s effortless when he comes in, you give him the track and it’s “Off you go. Go and do your magic.” He plugs in his guitar and there’s this [<em>sword unsheathing noise</em>] and it becomes a sci-fi adventure.</p>
<p><strong>Eden Altman:</strong> I’ve been collaborating with Josh since I was a wee child too, so it’s not hard at all when you’ve known the people for so long. There are no precious moments with anybody because our egos are left behind.</p>
<p><strong>In addition to the music, you’ve got some huge names doing voice acting in the game. How did it feel to bring in people like Carl Weathers and Lena Headey for this?</strong></p>
<p><strong>Galvatron:</strong> It was weird and slightly terrifying, but ultimately an experience that I’ll always treasure. Annapurna obviously has a lot of ties in the film world, so they were like “Who do you want to play Lightman?” I’m like “Well who can I have? What’s the ceiling?” They said if I could have anyone, and I said Carl Weathers. A week later, they called us up like “Carl’s in,” and then Carl’s in the studio booth saying all this nonsense that you wrote, never thinking you would have to show it to some quality actors. All of the actors we worked with were just joys to work with. I mean, Carl Weathers is intimidating. I thought if anyone could punch you through a webcam, it’s probably Carl. But he was just adding lines and helping me to use a better lexicon for funk and jazz artists from the ‘70s. Then Lena Headey comes in — and I’m obviously still very intimidated — and she just did like 15 accents and asked us which ones we want. I’m a huge fan of Jason [Schwartzman], and I got to hang out with him and just talk for a couple of hours about Bob Dylan and David Bowie. It was just absolute dream stuff.</p>
<p><strong>From a gameplay perspective, <em>The Artful Escape</em> probably involves more focus on guitars than anything since <em>Guitar Hero</em>. What went into bringing the guitar to life like this within a video game?</strong></p>
<p><strong>Altman:</strong> I think a lot of it has to do with Johnny’s direction. He would call me up and say, “Today, we’re going to do this or be like this amazing artist.” As the guitar player, it started to sink in about two years into the project where I realized that the guitar and I were going to be the star of the show. Johnny was saying that to me the whole time, but it didn’t really sink in right away. There were times — like during the final solo — where we had to watch the footage and sort of just feel what to play whilst watching, almost like doing a traditional score.</p>
<p><strong>There are a lot of rock and roll references within <em>The Artful Escape</em> even beyond the base gameplay. How did you decide what to stuff in there?</strong></p>
<p><strong>Galvatron:</strong> I spent my whole life listening to all this crazy music and watching the associated visuals, so it felt to me like a trolley dash. It was just like running through the store like, “I’m gonna have some Van Halen. I’m gonna add some Joe Satriani. I’m gonna put some KISS in there.” I have so much love for them and have been on so many crazy rock and roll adventures of my own that it was a joy to come up with that stuff. Josh and I have very similar stories actually, and I think all of the heartfelt stuff in there about how hard it is to create and everything was just what we had seen in the music scene and how strange the expectations are.</p>
<p><strong>Abrahams:</strong> As far as adding other music, a lot of the backing tracks and the references Johnny brought to me were orchestral film scores that we then inserted Van Halen over.</p>
<p><strong>Galvatron:</strong> People don’t Van Halen enough over film scores enough — that’s what I think. There’s an operatic side to rock and roll, which is something that I was always drawn to. One of the main themes of the game is the satellite aspects that surround your creative medium. It’s not just the music, but how you dress, the imagery and videos associated with it. Also, there’s a shop in the game that sells plants and books. It’s called “Plant and Page,” and no one ever notices it. Please look at my little Led Zeppelin easter egg. It brings me great joy.</p>

<p>The band told <a href="https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/interpol-new-album-interview-1245690/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Rolling Stone</em></a> back in November that <a href="https://www.nme.com/news/music/interpol-on-their-upcoming-new-album-this-might-be-super-fucking-different-3094115">their upcoming LP is “super fucking different”</a>.</p>
<p>“It definitely feels like us,” Banks explained about the new material. “It’s the heart and soul of our band – like, there’s a DNA to our sound.</p>
<p>“Another part of me thinks, ‘This might be super fucking different’.”</p>

<p><a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/josh-klinghoffer">Josh Klinghoffer</a>, under the moniker <a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/pluralone">Pluralone</a>, embraced the desolation of the pandemic to create the opposite.</p>
<p>The ex-Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist spent the past year working on new music. Before he heads out on the road as part of Eddie Vedder’s Earthlings next week, Klinghoffer shared a new Pluralone single titled “Claw Your Way Out.”</p>
<p> </p>
<p><iframe src="https://open.spotify.com/embed/track/3HjohYDsYZg2KLhYjto8Hq?utm_source=generator" width="100%" height="380" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<p> </p>
<p>“Claw Your Way Out” features former Jane’s Addiction bassist Eric Avery and Dot Hacker bandmate Eric Gardner on drums. The song was produced by another Dot Hacker bandmate, guitarist Clint Walsh.</p>
<p>Its dreamy synths surround sharp beats and Klinghoffer’s high-pitched drawl, and as a whole, renders his growth in musicianship as a solo artist. The chorus allows the synths to trickle over Klinghoffer’s persuasive croon, “claw your way out, claw your way out.”</p>
<p>Klinghoffer released his first solo record, <em>To Be One With You</em>, in late 2019, which was the same year he landed a supporting slot on Pearl Jam’s <em>Gigaton </em>world tour. When the pandemic struck, Klinghoffer went on to release his second full-length album, <em>I Don’t Feel Well</em>, partly inspired by his friend, bassist Juan Alderete, who was seriously injured in a biking accident that left him in a coma right before Klinghoffer was set to record the album.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/kim-gordon">Kim Gordon</a> is ready to roll. The ex-Sonic Youth bassist will be hitting the road for a short string of U.S. dates before embarking on her first-ever international headlining tour. The itinerary includes a trio of festival stops at Treefort in Boise, Big Ears in Knoxville and later this summer, Primavera in Barcelona.</p>
<p>“I can’t believe the tour is finally happening! Looking forward to playing with my band who are amazing and bringing the music to you. You are the ones gonna make it sizzle,” Gordon said in a statement.</p>
<p>In 2019, Gordon released No Home Record. The album was her first as a solo artist and was produced by Justin Raisen. She was set to hit the road on a tour in 2020, and we all know what happened after that.</p>
<p>The two-week March run will kick off in Boston before ending at Boise’s Treefort. She’ll hit the road again in Europe at the end of May that will take into early June.</p>

Generally, dispatches from LA’s most careworn alt-pop outfit have acted as windows on the turbulent, nose to the romantic grindstone life of Mark ‘E’ Everett – 2020’s ‘Earth To Dora’ traced the parabolic rise and fall of a relationship in full, shortly after Everett’s second divorce. ‘Extreme Witchcraft’, however, is set in the uncertain hinterland following a major life upheaval, finding E a little lost and unsure of himself. A track like ‘Learning While I Lose’ might be the most personal of outpourings, but lines like <em>“Yesterday’s another day/I wish it’d gone another way/Now today I’m trying to see just what’s ahead for me”</em> could be printed on a magnet and stuck to the fridge of 2022.</p>
<p>It certainly doesn’t sound like an album recorded remotely in collaboration with <a href="https://www.nme.com/artists/pj-harvey">PJ Harvey</a> foil John Parish, with E adding his parts at 4am while trying not to wake his son. The first half of the record throws back somewhat to the pair’s last collab on 2001’s abrasive ‘Souljacker’ – fuzzed up retro garage rock dominates the opening run of ‘Amateur Hour’ and ‘Good Night On Earth’. ‘Nuggets’ is speckled with psychedelia and trademark E self-deprecation, and hosts an extremely belated kiss-off to Colin Firth for delivering the line “I can’t stand Eels” in <em>Love, Actually</em>.</p>
<p>A tone of post-traumatic optimism is struck: ‘Strawberries And Popcorn’ lauds the benefits of being a post-divorce slob: eating junk dinners in your pants with “nobody here to pester me”. Another relatable image, in this brave new world of working from home.</p>
<p>However, like its centrepiece ‘Stumbling Bee’ – a piece of cranky, throwaway jazz pop about feeling aimless – the record loses direction as it ventures away from its invigorating garage rock and Motown opening. ‘Grandfather Clock Strikes Twelve’ mashes hip-hop, classic funk, vocoder backing vocals and a frank depiction of steamy parent sex (“<em>Lock the door, we’re on the floor, the starving will be fed</em>”) into something resembling a divorcee <a href="https://www.nme.com/artists/prince">Prince</a>, but the funk and jazz touches of ‘So Anyway’ and ‘I Know You’re Right’ slow the record to a dispiriting crawl.</p>
<p>More uplifting is the handclap country folk ditty ‘Learning While I Lose’, and the uncharacteristically confident bar rocker ‘The Magic’. “<em>Try me,” </em>E spiels, sidling seductively up to a stranger. Spoiler: she doesn’t. Meanwhile, schizophrenic incel anthem ‘What It Isn’t’ flicks from serene <a href="https://www.nme.com/artists/the-beach-boys">Beach Boys</a> twinkling to furious brass punk as E finally cracks in the face of another goddamn rejection.</p>
<p>It’s the most adventurous moment on a record of fluctuating magic. Rather than a fresh blast of wizardry, ‘Extreme Witchcraft’ is more of a feet-finder for our times.</p>

<p>Calendar years have never felt more meaningless. It’s 2022? Hooray. This will be the year I…stay inside a lot.</p>
<p>But we can still count on music lists to help us organize our calendars. So here’s our latest: 22 Artists to Watch in 2022. (See what we did with the numbers there? Embrace the chaos.) This year, like last year, will be weird for everyone in the industry — it’s too soon to know how many of these emerging musicians we’ll be able to “watch” in the literal sense.</p>
<p>But for one reason or another — an acclaimed 2021 debut, a flurry of under-the-radar singles, a star-making guest verse — everyone below has us eagerly awaiting their next moves. Hopefully, they happen soon. But what’s “soon” anyway? – <em>Ryan Reed</em></p>
<h2><strong>Baby Keem </strong></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">With two phones, an immeasurable number of flows, and some inseparable family ties, Baby Keem made 2021 the year of the “range brothers,” shapeshifting throughout his commercial debut LP, </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Melodic Blue.</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Just two years removed from initial breakthrough, </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Die For My Bitch</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">, the 21-year-old inspired Pulitzer-winning cousin Kendrick Lamar to be as outrageous as possible, complained about OnlyFans with Don Toliver on “cocoa,” and got apologetically melodic on the standout anthem “16.” It’s been his defiant entrance into the mainstream — and while critics can’t seem to agree on Keem’s long-awaited debut, one thing is for certain: Baby Keem is here, and he’s already got us talking…and investing in a second phone. – </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Brenton Blanchet</span></em></p>
<div class="ast-oembed-container"><iframe style="width: 699px; height: 394px;" title="Baby Keem - 16 (Official Audio)" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/s529iTY777w?feature=oembed" width="699" height="394" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p> </p>
<h2><strong>Los Bitchos</strong></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Through their snotty moniker and oddball visual antics, London’s Los Bitchos wear their sardonic sense of humor on their sleeves. But beneath the winking exterior, the band’s intricate surf rock instrumentals are eclectic well beyond familiar lo-fi garage cassette fare — a swirling, guitar-driven psychedelia with elements of dream pop, funk, and cumbia. The band recruited Franz Ferdinand’s Alex Kapranos to produce their debut, </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Let the Festivities Begin!</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;"> (out February 4 via City Slang), and its early singles highlight the diversity of Los Bitchos’ musical ecosystem, from the dance-punk groove of “Las Panteras” to the tropical noir of “The Link Is About to Die.” – <em>Jeff Terich</em></span></p>
<div class="ast-oembed-container"><iframe style="width: 697px; height: 393px;" title="Los Bitchos - Las Panteras" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ZGHMAuYqdpE?feature=oembed" width="697" height="393" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<h2><strong>Blue Lab Beats</strong></h2>
<p>London’s Blue Lab Beats are widely described as “jazztronica” — a fitting label for any band that combines the classic instrumentation and harmonic vocabulary of jazz with the choppy, beat-driven aesthetic of modern electronica. But that description also feels a bit limiting: On February’s <em>Motherland Journey</em>, their debut album for venerated jazz label Blue Note, the duo touch on funk, soul, hip-hop, psychedelia, even Afrobeat (a sample of the late, great Fela Kuti appears on the title track). After a while, the distinctions dissolve and you’re left with the only thing that matters: exquisite feel and atmosphere. – <em>Ryan Reed</em></p>
<div class="ast-oembed-container"><iframe style="width: 696px; height: 393px;" title="Blue Lab Beats - Motherland Journey ft. Fela Kuti, KillBeatz, Kaidi Akinnibi, Poppy Daniels" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/my9NF_BHs6E?feature=oembed" width="696" height="393" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<h2><strong>Sophia Chablau e Uma Enorme Perda De Tempo </strong></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Think tropical jazz meets neo-bossa meets indie-pop — and you’re still not even close. The Brazilian quartet, led by vocalist and composer Sophia Chablau, made quite a splash last spring with their </span><a href="https://sophiachablaueumaenormeperdade.bandcamp.com/album/sophia-chablau-e-uma-enorme-perda-de-tempo"><span style="font-weight: 400;">self-titled debut album</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, a nine-track wonder produced by 2020 Latin Grammy nominee Ana Frango Elétrico and released on independent label Selo Risco. Coming from the great São Paulo rock tradition (Os Mutantes, Legião Urbana, Cansei De Ser Sexy), Sophia Chablau e Uma Enorme Perda De Tempo may have considerable shoes to fill; yet the appeal of their exhilarating sound lies exactly in echoing everything while imitating nothing. – </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ana Leorne</span></em></p>
<div class="ast-oembed-container"><iframe style="width: 697px; height: 393px;" title="Sophia Chablau e Uma Enorme Perda De Tempo - Delícia/Luxúria (Clipe)" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/_Ezj_7WGUrY?feature=oembed" width="697" height="393" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<h2><strong>Indigo De Souza </strong></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Love is a pulsing universe, and North Carolina singer-songwriter Indigo De Souza pulls from it without reservation, in all of its dark and its light. In 2021, she signed to Saddle Creek; released her second album, </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Any Shape You Take</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">; re-issued her first, 2018’s</span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;"> I Love My Mom</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">; and announced a run of upcoming dates opening for Lucy Dacus</span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">. </span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">On </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Any Shape…</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">, she affixed funk, pop, and R&B to her grungy indie-rock; she grappled with a breakup, by turns optimistic and heartbroken, but always with love radiating through the cracks. “Love might go, but it’s not gone; I still know you,”</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">she sings on “Real Pain,” before the song breaks into a cathartic chorus of fan-submitted screams. – </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Mia Hughes</span></em></p>
<div class="ast-oembed-container"><iframe style="width: 697px; height: 393px;" title="Indigo De Souza - Real Pain [Official Audio]" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/VUe4zYAZsMg?feature=oembed" width="697" height="393" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<h2><strong>Blu DeTiger</strong></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Blu DeTiger would have one of the most glamorous stage names in music today — if it wasn’t her real name. (Her brother Rex DeTiger plays drums in her band.) A New York City native and a School of Rock alumnus, Blu dropped out of NYU to be the touring bassist for both Caroline Polachek and Fletcher, and she also played on the Bleachers hit “Stop Making This Hurt.” As a singer-songwriter, DeTiger’s danceable but emotionally fraught aesthetic is best summed up by one song title: “Disco Banger But You’re Crying In The Bathroom” from her EP, </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">How Did We Get Here?</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;"> And her latest single “Blondes” — released in November, shortly after she signed with Capitol Records — captures that vibe in a killer chorus: “They say blondes / They have more fun, get what they want / Why am I so different? / I’m just sitting at home, feeling dumb and alone.” </span><strong>– </strong><em>Al Shipley</em></p>
<div class="ast-oembed-container"><iframe style="width: 697px; height: 393px;" title="Blu DeTiger - Blondes" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/oIgl7nok_kY?feature=oembed" width="697" height="393" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<h2>
<strong>Foushe</strong><strong>é </strong>
</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">New Jersey singer Foushe</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">é sold hundreds of her voice recordings as an open-source sample pack a few years ago, but she didn’t know that Brooklyn rapper Sleepy Hallow made a song with her vocals until “Deep End Freestyle” went viral on TikTok. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Foushe</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">é eventually got her credit on Sleepy Hallow’s track, and in 2021 her haunting solo version of “Deep End” </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">became the first top 10 hit on alternative radio by a Black woman since Tracy Chapman over 30 years ago. In 2021, Foushe</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">é</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> had enough juice to work with Lil Wayne on the single “Gold Fronts” but not include it on her debut, </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Time Machine</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">. Instead, the omnivorous album features funhouse mirror interpretations of Depeche Mode and Carole King classics, along with a jammy, seven-minute collaboration with The Internet’s Steve Lacy. In more recent months, Fousheé has kept her dance card full, becoming the only guest on Vince Staples’ self-titled LP and appearing on King Princess’ single “Little Brother.” – </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">A.S.</span></em></p>
<div class="ast-oembed-container"><iframe style="width: 699px; height: 394px;" title="Fousheé - candy grapes (Audio) ft. Steve Lacy" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/1HARa6WJ-AA?feature=oembed" width="699" height="394" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<h2><strong>Girl in Red </strong></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">During the bedroom pop Soundcloud boom of the late 2010s, Marie “Girl in Red” Ulven was Norway’s answer to Billie Eilish, a teenager whose uncomfortably honest songs about depression and sexuality made her a burgeoning zoomer icon. In 2021, the singer-songwriter’s early single “We Fell In Love In October” went platinum, and she released her full-length debut </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">If I Could Make It Go Quiet</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">. The album’s alt-rock radio singles “Serotonin” and “I’ll Call You Mine” put a festival rock gloss on Girl in Red’s lo-fi sound, helping her land a spot on the 2022 Coachella lineup. But there’s still an engaging, offbeat sensibility in songs like “hornylovesickmess” and “Rue,” which serenades Zendaya’s character from HBO’s </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Euphoria</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">. – </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">A.S.</span></em></p>
<div class="ast-oembed-container"><iframe style="width: 699px; height: 394px;" title="girl in red - hornylovesickmess (official audio)" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Ugi7CJFZUM8?feature=oembed" width="699" height="394" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<h2><strong>Georgia Harmer</strong></h2>
<p>For Georgia Harmer, it’s a matter of when, not if. The Toronto songwriter’s serene debut single, “Headrush,” displays a rare skill for wrestling obvious emotion — in this case, naked nostalgia — into sound. “Hours go by / Let’s drink up the sky,” she sings over a distorted, palm-muted chug. “And spend some time / Being little kids.” The fact that she’s 22 adds another layer of soft sadness — proof that we can long for the past, even when we’re not far removed from it. But the vocal here is the key: Harmer, a former backup singer for Alessia Cara, twists the melody around like a pretzel — adding swoops and vibrato with phrasing that draws more from soul and jazz than the indie-rock her guitars suggest. – <em>R.R.</em></p>
<div class="ast-oembed-container"><iframe style="width: 699px; height: 525px;" title="Georgia Harmer - Headrush (Official Video)" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/1t9HLL8oq5Q?feature=oembed" width="699" height="525" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p> </p>
<h2><strong>Horsegirl</strong></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The members of Chicago trio Horsegirl are still in their teens: young enough not to be weighed down by music industry cynicism, old enough to revel in ecstatic noise-pop swathed in guitar fuzz. The group is off to an auspicious start: They signed to Matador Records on the strength of their first two singles, and their third — the dense and gauzy, Sonic Youth-like “Billy,” recorded at Electrical Audio with John Agnello (Kurt Vile, Waxahatchee) — showcases their massive growth in just a year’s time. “Billy” alone displays talent well beyond their years; the fact that they’ll likely release their debut album before any of the band members finish their sophomore year of college just seems like showing off. – <em>J.T.</em></span></p>
<div class="ast-oembed-container"><iframe style="width: 699px; height: 525px;" title="Horsegirl - " src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Tsip3FReatE?feature=oembed" width="699" height="525" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<h2><strong>Mustafa</strong></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Mustafa was always around; at first, the spoken-word poet recounted a lifetime spent in Toronto’s Regent Park neighborhood before founding the rap collective Halal Gang alongside Mo-G, Puffy L’z, Safe, and Smoke Dawg. His debut project, </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">When Smoke Rises</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">, recounts another lifetime’s worth of experiences since, wrapping grief, glory, truth, and light into pensive folk that grapples with moving forward in times of loss. Mustafa’s voice warms the words with reverence, revealing </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">When Smoke Rises </span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">as a compelling series of revelations that refuse to dim in the waking hours. Mustafa’s been quiet on future plans regarding a tour or follow-up, though he did <a href="https://twitter.com/MustafaThePoet/status/1453728805932003333/photo/3">tweet</a> in October that he recently visited Egypt and “wrote some songs with local musicians”). This simply can’t be the end, right? – </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Jibril Yassin</span></em></p>
<div class="ast-oembed-container"><iframe style="width: 699px; height: 394px;" title="Mustafa - The Hearse" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/8F4pITS9fXs?feature=oembed" width="699" height="394" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<h2><strong>Gabe ‘Nandez </strong></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Gabe ‘Nandez raps like he’s lounging on brownstone steps next to the bodega. There’s something distinctly New York about being conversational yet, lyrically, jumping off the stoop when on the attack. His pointed writing and even most left-field production mark him as a student of Nas and the like, but this is new and not atavistic rehash. His voice is a booming rasp that grants gravity to each word while still sounding like a crisp wind is cutting through the syllables. ‘Nandez, the son of UN diplomats, also has an incisive intellectual streak: There are times where he seems to spit from behind the lectern, as though delivering a dissertation on the cumulative psychological effects of an itinerant childhood. His 2021</span><a href="https://powrecordings.bandcamp.com/album/ox"> <em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ox</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;"> EP</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> may be the best distillation of his talents yet. ‘Nandez balances original and cutting boasts, intertextual rap allusions, and revelations about his mental health. And he never sounds like he’s breaking a sweat. – </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Max Bell</span></em></p>

<h2><strong>Genesis Owusu </strong></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Genesis Owusu’s 2021 debut, </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Smiling With No Teeth</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">,</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">is a deliriously fun mix of soul, hip-hop, funk, jazz, and industrial sounds. The Ghana-born, Australia-based chameleon is like Outkast for outcasts: He never skimps on melody, but the album’s central image is a black dog used to comment on both depression and racism — that golden grin plastered on his album cover hides some serious darkness. “Don’t Need You” is a pseudo-playful single battling against mental illness, but “Black Dogs!” is much more forceful punk-rap throttle. </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">No Teeth</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;"> is an ambitious triumph that should propel the 23-year-old toward further acclaim — and his ongoing, first-ever U.S. tour should help. This feels like just the beginning. – </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Bobby Olivier </span></em></p>

<h2><strong>PinkPantheress </strong></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Punchy, internet-damaged, and usually under two minutes long, the songs on PinkPantheress’s debut mixtape, </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">to hell with it</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">, seem made for TikTok. The effervescent “Break It Off” felt destined to take off when the 20-year-old started uploading her self-produced music to the video-sharing site. It probably helps that she created one of 2021’s freshest sounds: Her chief innovation is dialing drum & bass and garage beats down to a hyperactive shuffle, making room for bedroom pop hooks and airy vocals. The BPMs are high, but tune in and you’ll hear lyrics as sharp and original as her DIY production work. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">– </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Beverly Bryan</span></em></p>

<h2><strong>Pom Pom Squad </strong></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Oh, wow, Olivia Rodrigo wore a cheerleader costume for three whole minutes in a music video to subvert standards of adolescent beauty and social structure? News flash: 23-year-old Mia Berrin has a whole fucking band bound to the skirts, cheers, and stomping the idiotic norms. Pom Pom Squad’s 2021 debut, </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Death of a Cheerleader</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">, is a nuanced meld of punk, indie-pop, and grunge with a coat of ‘60s polish — imagine Leiber and Stoller getting good and emo in the Brill Building. The Brooklyn group even covered Tommy James and the Shondells’ “Crimson and Clover.” But stay for the delicious petulance of “Head Cheerleader” and My Chemical Romance-y “Shame Reactions.” Berrin’s sharp perspective is destined to spawn many more cutting tunes, as evidenced her recent Spotify Single “Until It Stops.” – </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">B.O.</span></em></p>

<h2><strong>S. Raekwon </strong></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">S. Raekwon — short for Steven Raekwon Reynolds — spent his lockdown between suburban Illinois and the East Village of New York, writing his debut album, </span><em>Where I’m At Now</em><span style="font-weight: 400;">. His music lives in that tension between serenity and vitality; between the soft contentment of being in love and the urging questions that accompany it. He wanders between R&B, folk, touches of musical theatre, even salsa. He sings both of devotion and uncertainty, but always infused with aching romance. The undercurrent of the LP is Reynolds’ connection with the Black side of his family for the first time since childhood, and midway track “T.D.T.K.A.” is an arresting meditation on the exhaustion of racism. – </span><em>M.H.</em></p>
<div class="ast-oembed-container"><iframe style="width: 697px; height: 393px;" title="S. Raekwon - " src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/acmDMrn-Bm0?feature=oembed" width="697" height="393" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<h2><strong>Remble</strong></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Remble is San Pedro’s first rap star. The Southern California port city is miles from Los Angeles proper, but Remble’s string of grave yet hilarious singles led to his rap ascent in L.A.’s street rap ranks. His punchlines have shades of late idol-turned-collaborator Drakeo the Ruler, though Remble is a stylist who distinguishes himself from the city’s hordes of Drakeo clones. He enunciates every line, subtly modulating his voice to move from deadpan to feigned surprise as he delivers rhetorical disses: “Are you willing to die for those Christians? Do you really feel fly in True Religion?” (“Gordon R Freestyle”). The effect is somewhere between a PowerPoint (or </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Ted Talk”</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">) on L.A. gang life and Joe Pesci’s “What do you mean, I’m funny?” bit in </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Goodfellas</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">. Whether it’s his delivery or the tension between comedy and emptied clips, Remble will likely draw more fans outside of L.A. in 2022. – </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Max Bell</span></em></p>
<div class="ast-oembed-container"><iframe style="width: 701px; height: 395px;" title="REMBLE - " src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/biG3iUCrHaQ?feature=oembed" width="701" height="395" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p> </p>
<h2><strong>Rome Streetz </strong></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Some artforms are forever. Criminology rap descended from Kool G Rap and Raekwon will remain potent as long as someone somewhere weighs powders on the triple-beam. Rome Streetz knows his history and that life. As such, he’s one of the sharpest writers to emerge from the shadows of the Griselda camp. In a distinctly New York accent, he delivers retrospectives on hand-to-hand sales in desolate projects, the ounces that tipped the scale, and the hours behind bars plotting his next move. He balances those narratives with hard-won wisdom and wordplay about his dexterous wordplay. Rome released four excellent projects in 2021, including the DJ Muggs-produced </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Death & The Magician</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;"> produced by DJ Muggs. He may never exhaust the form. – </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">M.B.</span></em></p>

<h2><strong>Seafoam Walls</strong></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In this line of work, a PR pitch occasionally works its magic with grabby adjectives, leaving you no choice but to click play. Often these albums are like awkward Thanksgiving turkeys: all dressing, no meat. Sometimes, though, you have a “holy shit” moment — and for me, my biggest 2021 discovery was Seafoam Walls, a self-described “Caribbean jazz-gaze” band that somehow flew way under the radar with their 2021 debut, </span><a href="https://www.spin.com/2021/11/seafoam-walls-interview/"><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">XVI</span></em></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. The South Florida quartet, led by singer-guitarist </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Jayan Bertrand, achieve exactly what that quirky pull-quote suggests: pairing jazzy chord voicings and spacey effects with tranquil Afro-Caribbean grooves. Will they blow up in 2022? Given the volatility of our current industry, will anybody? But I’m betting on it anyway. – </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">R.R.</span></em></p>

<h2><strong>To Bloom</strong></h2>
<p>While their fluid arpeggios and metallic crunch may echo other modern post-hardcore-meets-prog bands, Portland’s To Bloom have a not-so-secret weapon: singer Bruno Lopez-Vargas, whose flashy, melismatic phrases seem to draw more from R&B than anything from, say, the Sumerian roster. As of this writing, they’ve only officially released two songs, but the expressive reach of 2021 single “Wander” is enough to make my “must-watch” list. (As of November 2021, they were <a href="https://www.facebook.com/tobloomband/videos/244192657631031/">workshopping</a> “Dat mf-ing New New,” and they recently <a href="https://www.facebook.com/tobloomband/posts/674907340550551">promised</a> new music “preeeeeetty soon.”) – <em>R.R.</em></p>

<h2><strong>Wet Leg</strong></h2>
<p>We need new energy in 2022 — something to shake the sheets and move our feet. Wet Leg might be the band to get us there. The Isle of Wight duo, Rhian Teasdale and Hester Chambers, are dropping their self-titled Domino Records debut in our laps on April 8 — right when we need it the most. A drunk punk dance party for the masses, lead single “Chaise Longue” has sunk its teeth into everyone who’s heard it, conjuring both a blurry night out and the hazy morning after. Maybe “horny, chaotic post-punk record” is the mood we’re finding ourselves in this year. Trust Wet Leg to set the vibe proper.<span style="font-weight: 400;">– <em>Niko Stratis</em></span></p>

<h2><strong>Remi Wolf </strong></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Remi Wolf’s 2020 breakout hit, “Photo ID,” became a peak pandemic-era soundtrack staple thanks to TikTok. But with her debut LP, 2021’s </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Juno, </span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">the 25-year-old Californian proved that the staying power of her distorted, whimsical pop far exceeded that of futile rollerskating attempts and awkward Zoom parties. Toeing the line between ultra-trendy hyperpop melody and well-worn funk groove, Wolf’s music feels like being transported into a surreal cartoon, fueled by her versatile voice. Her world is one where everything is hyper-saturated, blissfully surreal, and — most importantly — fun. – </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Abby Jones</span></em></p>

<p> </p>
<p>Krasinski will write, direct and produce the project via his company, Sunday Night, through Paramount Pictures. Reynolds, Allyson Seeger and Andrew Form will also serve as producers.</p>
<p><em>IF</em> is scheduled to be released on November 17, 2023.</p>
<p>This will be Krasinski’s third outing as director following 2018’s <em>A Quiet Place</em> and its 2020 sequel, <em>A Quiet Place Part II</em>.</p>
<p>Based on the BBC series of the same name, <em>The Office</em> first aired in the US in March 2005 and spanned nine seasons in total, concluding in May 2013.</p>
<div id="jwplayer-video-YmzeVytv"></div>
<p>Alongside Carell and Krasinski, the show starred Rainn Wilson, Jenna Fischer, B.J. Novak, Mindy Kaling, Melora Hardin, David Denman, Leslie David Baker, Brian Baumgartner, Kate Flannery and Angela Kinsey.</p>
<p>Last year, <em>The Office</em> US creator Greg Daniels said a <a href="https://www.nme.com/en_asia/news/tv/the-office-us-creator-reunion-more-likely-now-than-ever-2851714" target="_blank" rel="noopener">potential reunion is looking “more likely now” than ever</a> – although there’s no official plans.</p>

<p>From the U.S. Army’s <a href="https://twitter.com/USArmy/status/1485025247199997956">Twitter</a> account posting a quote of Del Rey’s to Pusha T making jokes about her on his <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CZGBcLSIJFw/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading">Instagram</a>, Del Rey has certainly had an interesting week on social media.</p>
<p>While dropping in at Nikki Lane’s show in Austin (as pointed out by <a href="https://www.stereogum.com/2174026/lana-del-rey-nikki-lane-sierra-ferrell/news/"><em>Stereogum</em></a>), Del Rey performed a new song titled “Prettiest Girl In Country Music.” In addition to Del Rey and Lane, Sierra Ferrell joined them around a single mic to perform the song.</p>
<p>Ahead of it, Del Rey told the audience that it was inspired by an uncomfortable interaction Lane had with an older man. “Nikki told me a little story about him about he had a little meeting with her and he crept a little too close to her, and he said, ‘How does it feel to be the prettiest girl in country music?’ and I was like, ‘Bleh!’ So immediately I wrote a little chorus and then we expanded,” she said.</p>

<p>“The Road Goes On Forever, and the Party Never Ends,” sang roots-rocker Robert Earl Keen. And for over two decades, it’s been an apt summation of the <a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/greensky-bluegrass">Greensky Bluegrass</a> life, on and off the stage — until 2021, when the road ended, and the party caught an early Uber. For chief songwriter/mandolinist Paul Hoffman, who turned 40 last month, COVID cancellations forced the self-proclaimed “life of the party” to turn insular, facing a future no musician should have to contemplate: What if this is the end of concert-going as we know it?</p>
<p>In their 22nd year, Greensky has been doing it longer and harder than most. In 2000, the band formed in Michigan as a three-piece with Hoffman, guitarist Dave Bruzza and banjo player Michael Arlen Bont, adding bassist Mike Devol and dobroist Anders Beck several years later. The collective was never strictly bluegrass, or married to any rigid descriptor of it. What they took from the genre was more about spirit, as Hoffman’s often dark, hard-bitten lyrics, crossed with hootenanny-styled live shows, exuded an all-are-welcome, dance-our-cares-away vibe. It’s a party they rode hard, maxing out at 180 shows a year once upon a time. The road dog dedication — and penchant for stretching songs out live — caught on with the jam band scene in the late 2000s, and the guys established an unquestionably loyal and rowdy base.</p>
<p>For the band that’s not bluegrass, not jam, but not exactly rock, the formula works (Greensky regularly sells out multiple dates at Red Rocks) and continues to work on Stress Dreams, their eighth studio album. The lyrics repeatedly touch on loss of time and regret, but foot-stomp picking, joyous harmonies, and an optimistic lust for life lead the band home. We spoke to Hoffman about <em>Stress Dreams</em>, the music that has shaped his life, and skateboarding to the <em>Dirty Dancing</em> soundtrack.</p>

<p><strong>SPIN: What’s the first song or album that made you truly fall in love with music?</strong><br><strong>Paul Hoffman:</strong> Man, the first tapes I owned were Tiffany and Wilson Phillips. I was really into pop music as a kid. I also used to make my mom mixtapes of all her Beatles records, as I was the tech-savvy millennial who taught them how to use their stereos. The record that I really remember loving was Counting Crows’ <em>August and Everything After</em>. It came out when I was 12, which is when I started playing guitar. I had the printed chords to every single song on that record. During quarantine I started listening to it again, so I was rocking out to “Round Here” around the house. When I listen to it now, I feel like I hear some of my songwriting tricks. “Mr. Jones” is on that record, and that’s the song that’s kind of embarrassing to like, but is still really great.</p>
<p><strong>Are you still rocking out to Tiffany or some of that sugary ‘80s pop?</strong><br>I was into some really embarrassing soundtracks as a kid too. I joke with my friends about this, so if you print it, it’ll be really funny. I have memories of skateboarding in my basement, listening to the <em>Dirty Dancing</em> soundtrack. I guess it makes sense because I was also a theater kid, but if there’s something to really humble me, skateboarding to “Hungry Eyes” is right up there. The first CD I remember buying was <em>The Bodyguard</em> soundtrack. I was a sucker for the showtunes!</p>
<p><strong>Growing up in Michigan, was there stuff you were basically forced to listen to, that you can’t stand to this day?</strong><br>Kid Rock annoys me now, but I liked that first album. I’m pretty eclectic, and it’s hard for me to outright hate something. My dad was really into Cat Stevens and Fleetwood Mac, so I got a lot of good influences from them. I didn’t know what bluegrass was until I bought a mandolin and joined a bluegrass band. Even when I was a teenager and started seeing Phish and got into the Grateful Dead, I’ve never been a snob about pop music. You’ll catch me in a guilty moment today listening to One Direction or Nick Jonas. The pop sensibility to some of that music is undeniable, and I just love it. We recently played Madonna’s “Borderline” at a show, and who can deny that it’s a great friggin song?</p>
<p><strong>Did you have a “romantic/make-out” mix as a teenager?</strong><br>The Wallflowers! “One Headlight.” That was some good neckin’ music. I remember being in a basement with the lights off, on the floor, listening to that song: “We can drive it home…with one headlight!” That’s a damn fine album too. When I write songs, before the band touches them, they’re probably a lot like that rootsy, alt-folk stuff that hit hard in 1994-95. Those great melodies and chord structures are ingrained in me.</p>
<p><strong>As a teenager, were you more into rowdy drinking songs or spaced-out, trippy albums?</strong><br>In high school, I was getting high and listening to tons of Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin’s <em>BBC Sessions</em>. I attribute Pink Floyd to a lot of my songwriting style, which is dark, depressing lyrics with psychedelic vibes. Looking back, it seems so uncool, me going out to lunch in my high school car, blasting <em>The Final Cut</em>. It’s even more depressing than <em>The Wall</em>.</p>
<p><strong>So, you were a brooding teen? Did you go emo at any point?</strong><br>Very emo. I was really into theater, and to this day, my concept of a good performance or piece of music is more based on emotion than style. My music is cathartic, and a way for me to emote feelings. Theater is very in line with that. I recorded an album in high school that was really emo-pop and dark. It’s pretty cliche, but I was really into Jim Morrison and his poetry. That stuff is obviously really dark and filled with death. I wore fake leather pants to high school. I pictured myself as the romantic, tortured artist emo kid, not the makeup-wearing, Marilyn Manson type. Shit, I used to carry around a Keats novel between classes and was reading William Blake for fun. Very tortured. [<em>Laughs</em>.]</p>
<div class="ast-oembed-container"><iframe style="width: 699px; height: 394px;" title="Greensky Bluegrass - Stress Dreams (Official Music Video)" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/c8p7vsjUz_M?feature=oembed" width="699" height="394" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p><strong>How did you find the jam band scene?</strong><br>It’s hard to remember how it happened, but one day I was just in the Jam Band Club. Trading shows and all that. My first Phish show was in the Fall of ’98. I had a pretty tight, raging, musical group of friends, and we’d hit Deer Creek and Alpine Valley in the summer. It was six of us who did everything together. We were basically told that we were supposed to trip together and listen to <em>Dark Side of the Moon</em>. I remember being in school, taking a test high on acid, and listening to this really psychedelic version of “St. Stephen” by the Grateful Dead. I’m almost afraid to admit that I was tripping in school, but I did it a couple times. Now I can’t let my mom read this interview. I remember whiteboards were new at the time, and in math class, my teacher liked to use all kinds of different colors, so that was pretty psychedelic. It should be noted that I failed that Civics test, listening to “St. Stephen,” while on LSD.</p>
<p><strong>What song can always bring you back from the brink of existential despair?</strong><br>Phish doing “2001.” I’ve been at shows where shit started to get all weird and heavy, but a Phish jam/funk party to “2001” can always bring me out. It never fails to get me out of that dark mental hole. The whole crew starts to get down, my muscles start to relax, and I shake it off. If I’m clenching my jaw, or holding my neck funny, I just spring out of it. I need an instrumental to come out of it. I can’t not dance to that jam.</p>
<p><strong>As a band, are you still bursting with creativity, or does it come harder with age?</strong><br>It’s a skill to be creative at this age, as I’ve obviously used a lot of my ideas for songs over the years. I don’t think it’s how old we are, but how long we’ve been doing it. We’re not trying to reinvent the wheel every time because we always want to be ourselves. But there are only so many notes and pleasing chord progressions. Unless we decided to go totally avant-garde, I have that pop sensibility and don’t wanna just do a bunch of weird shit for the sake of being different. Just because I’m not in agony in my basement, pouring my heart out into my newest song like I did 10 years ago, doesn’t mean that I can’t create art from a different place. It’s a skill, like woodworking or architecture.</p>
<p><strong>A glance at the titles on Stress Dreams — including “Absence of Reason,” “Give a Shit,” “Stress Dreams,” and “Get Sad” — read like a songwriter coming unglued. </strong><br>We went through a lot in 2021: losing all our gigs and the stress of running our business. It became a business when we weren’t just out playing shows and having a great time. There’s been a lot of change. So much of what we were doing for so long felt momentum-based. It’s like running downhill, with so much inertia. Then we had to stop, for the first time ever. The most time we’d taken off in the last 15 years was maybe five weeks, and that included the births of our kids. People would ask if I was scared that music wouldn’t come back. I was more afraid of reflecting on myself.</p>
<p>I’d never spent that much time away from my bandmates, or off the road. I’d simultaneously miss it while reflecting on the choices I’d made in my life. The contemplation of having to do something different with my life was the scariest thing.</p>
<div class="ast-oembed-container"><iframe style="width: 699px; height: 394px;" title="Greensky Bluegrass • " src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/APWm3ywMRfw?feature=oembed" width="699" height="394" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p><strong>Are you comfortable being alone?</strong><br>I wasn’t alone much because I have a toddler. But I’ve put myself out there as the center of attention, or life of the party, for so long. Having that part of my identity taken away was pretty hard to reconcile. It was also inspiring, and I had to do some work on myself that needed to be done. I just turned 40, so staying up all night and doing wild things had already become less appealing. Naturally, I’m not an up-at-7, asleep-by-9 kinda guy, but I’ve learned how to become that guy. Out of necessity, man. My child wakes up, and she’s like a sponge for energy and information. It’s inspiring but downright exhausting.</p>
<p><strong>Do you still get a giddy thrill with every album release or every time you step onstage? Or have you grown jaded?</strong><br>I’m still completely in love with it. There’s so many new factors with COVID and touring, like I can’t see all my friends or go out to eat. I can’t go to a bar and meet strangers. I love meeting people after the show and hearing about what our music means to them. Sure, there’s some ego to that, but nobody can deny that great feeling. I love getting onstage, stoking people out, and being the center of attention. There’s nothing like that feeling in the world.</p>

<p>The actor, who will reprise his role as private detective Benoit Blanc in the sequel to the 2019’s<a href="https://www.nme.com/reviews/knives-out-review-rian-johnson-2555077"><em> Knives Out</em></a>, said in a new interview that the film is in the editing stage.</p>
<p>He told <a href="https://variety.com/2022/film/news/daniel-craig-javier-bardem-skyfall-bond-dune-1235157954/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Variety</em></a>: ‘We did the second one [in 2021] in Greece, and then we filmed studio work in Serbia. It’s in the can. Rian [Johnson – director] is editing now, and it’ll be out, I think, in the fall of this year.”</p>
<p>Kate Hudson, Dave Bautista, Edward Norton, Janelle Monáe, Kathryn Hahn, Leslie Odom Jr., Madelyn Cline, Jessica Henwick and Ethan Hawke will also star in the film.</p>

<p>Last year Craig said that he thinks the sequel is “very different” from the original. In an interview with <a href="https://www.empireonline.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Empire</em></a> he also said that he was “lucky” to have Johnson “in my life”.</p>
<p>“He’s such a great writer. That script arrived and I was literally like, ‘Are you kidding me?’ I couldn’t believe that he wanted me to play it. I was going, “It says Southern accent you went here. ‘Really?’ And he’s like, ‘Yeah?’</p>
<p>“We’ve just finished the second one, literally weeks ago,” Craig added in reference to the sequel. “They’ve just wrapped up in Serbia. Dare I say it’s better? We’ll see. I don’t want to tempt fate. It’s different, and that’s the amazing thing.”</p>
<p>The news follows the actor realising only at the end of the same <em>Variety</em> interview (the latest edition of its<em> Actors On Actors</em> segment, with his <em>Skyfall</em> co-star Javier Bardem), <a href="https://www.nme.com/news/film/daniel-craig-does-entire-interview-without-realising-his-head-is-bleeding-3145158">that his head was bleeding</a>.</p>
<div id="jwplayer-video-jb24fdFu"></div>
<p>At the end of the conversation, Bardem noticed that Craig was bleeding. “Let me ask you this last question my friend: what happened to you here?” Bardem said, pointing to the <a href="https://www.nme.com/tag/james-bond"><em>James Bond</em></a> star’s head.</p>
<p>“Where? Have I just got sandwich on my head?” Craig replied, before going to look in the mirror. He then laughed and explained the reason for the wound: “They’ve sent me this wonderful ring flash that I’ve set up with an iPad in the middle of it.. and it just fell on my head just before [the interview].”</p>

<p>At his show in Athens, Georgia last night, <a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/jason-isbell">Jason Isbell</a> invited one of the town’s own legends, R.E.M. bassist Mike Mills, onstage at the Georgia Theatre for a rendition of the classic rock band’s “Driver 8.” Isbell covered the song on last year’s <em>Georgia Blue </em>covers album. In November 2020, he promised to cover a song from an artist from the Peach State if Joe Biden won Georgia.</p>

<p>Isbell has been a longtime fan of the band and has noted R.E.M. as one of his musical influences. He played alongside Mills with his own band, The 400 Unit, in honor of not only the classic rock band, but for the music of the South and that of Georgia.</p>
<p>“R.E.M. had a very specific type of southernness that aligns with my own experience in so many ways. A ‘southern rock’ that isn’t that at all,” Isbell <a href="https://twitter.com/JasonIsbell/status/863983097309786112?s=20">tweeted back in 2017</a> of his relationship with the band’s music.</p>
<p>“Driver 8” is off R.E.M.’s 1985 <em>Fables Of The Reconstruction</em>, which Isbell covered on his newest record, <em>Georgia Blue</em>. Isbell’s record features tracks by other Georgian artists, including James Brown, the Black Crowes, and Otis Redding, and is bookended with two by R.E.M.</p>

<p>“His melodic take on ‘Driver 8’ … the way he rephrases certain lines, it makes me actually jealous,” R.E.M. singer Michael Stipe said in a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-C3XTt0Vcg">November 2021 interview</a>. “I’ve never met Jason, but I wrote him a note to tell him how grateful we were that he had done such a beautiful job with those songs.”</p>
<p>“It’s very exciting,” Mills said in the same interview. “It’s really cool to see your stuff reimagined by an entire new generation of musicians.”</p>

</ul>
<p>The <a href="https://www.nme.com/tag/ozark"><em>Ozark</em></a> actor and director explained in a new interview that he used the time to catch up on what he called “inabilities” that stemmed from missing out on normal parts of growing up, thanks to his early stint as a child actor in <em>Little House On The Prairie</em>.</p>
<p>“It was a combination,” he told <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2022/jan/24/i-stayed-at-the-party-too-long-ozark-jason-bateman-on-arrested-development-smiling-villains-and-his-lost-decade" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>The Guardian</em></a> about the factors in his decision to trade acting for hedonism. “Me stopping everything on purpose, to catch up with all these inabilities I had as a kid, because I was always working.</p>
<p>“I wanted to get the wiggles out,” he added, referring to the need he felt to live-out his so-called “lost” childhood and teenage years.</p>
<figure id="attachment_3139696" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 2000px;" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-3139696"><img src="https://www.nme.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/Ozark_Season_4.jpg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="Ozark" height="443" width="698" /></figure>
<p><em>The Guardian</em> noted that in the past the <em>Arrested Development</em> star’s wife, Amanda Anka, had given him an ultimatum about his partying in his 20s.</p>
<p>Bateman added of his partying decade: “Having thought, ‘This is really fun,’ and staying at the party a little bit too long, I’d lost my place in line in the business; it was a case of trying to claw that back towards the end of the ’90s, and not getting a lot of great responses.”</p>
<p>US sitcom <em>Arrested Development</em>, which first aired in 2003, ended the actor’s dry spell after the turn of the century, with roles following in <em>Juno</em> (2007) and elsewhere.</p>
<p>In <em>Ozark</em> news, <a href="https://www.nme.com/reviews/tv-reviews/ozark-season-4-part-1-review-netflix-3139654">part one of the fourth and final season has now launched on Netflix</a>, with part two slated for release later this year.</p>

<p>Ivory Aquino, known for her TV roles in <em>Tales Of The City</em> and <em>When We Rise</em>, has been cast as Alysia Yeoh in <a href="https://www.nme.com/brands/hbo-max">HBO Max</a>‘s forthcoming feature film <em>Batgirl</em>. Yeoh is the best friend of the titular superhero, aka Barbara Gordon, portrayed by Leslie Grace.</p>
<p>Both Aquino and Yeoh are transgender, which marks the first time that a live action film adaptation of a DC Comics title will feature an openly trans character. Yeoh’s character was debuted in a 2011 issue of <em>Batgirl</em> written by Gail Simone and penciled by Ardian Syaf.</p>
<p><a href="https://variety.com/2022/film/news/batgirl-ivory-aquino-alysia-yeoh-trans-character-dc-1235162262/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Variety</em></a> reports that Aquino’s casting has now been confirmed after the news leaked earlier this month. Grace posted a photo seemingly from the set of the film to her Instagram story and tagged Aquino in it with the caption “Barbara and Alysia <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/13.1.0/72x72/1f60d.png" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="😍" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/13.1.0/72x72/1f987.png" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="🦇" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />”.</p>

<p>The CW series <em>Supergirl</em>, which premiered in 2015, was the first production to have a trans superhero on TV (the Dreamer, played by Nicole Maines).</p>
<p><em>Batgirl</em> will see J.K. Simmons (Barbara’s father, Gotham City police commissioner Jim Gordon), Brendan Fraser (unspecified main villain), Michael Keaton (reprising his role as Bruce Wayne/Batman) and Jacob Scipio (unknown role) join Aquino and Grace in the film.</p>
<p>The Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah-directed movie is expected to release this year, although no date has been set. Javicia Leslie as Ryan Wilder / Batwoman</p>
<p>In other DC news, <em>The Batman</em> theme has been unveiled by composer Michael Giacchino – you can listen to the track <a href="https://www.nme.com/news/film/listen-the-batman-theme-michael-giacchino-3143390">here</a>.</p>
<p>As teased in the trailers, the theme is both sombre and soaring, with soft orchestral stabs building to a triumphant finale.</p>
<p>Giacchino has frequently collaborated with <em>The Batman</em> director Matt Reeves, scoring the end credits on 2008’s <em>Cloverfield</em>, along with tracks for films <em>Let Me In</em>, <em>Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes</em> and <em>War For Planet Of The Apes</em>.</p>

<p>Florida rap icon <a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/denzel-curry">Denzel Curry</a> is back on the scene with a video for Walkin,’ his new single off of his forthcoming album <em>Melt My Eyez See Your Future.</em></p>
<p>The video, directed by Adrian Villagomez, follows Curry walking through a desert village. He walks in solitude as dust from the sand blows around him, setting a scene of sci-fi western dystopia. The image of a burning building illuminates a shot of children playing on a swing set, a symbol on Curry’s commentary on the tainted changing nature of everyday life as the state of the world decays in climate anxiety, wealth inequality, and a pandemic without an end in sight.</p>
<p>The sharp and melodic flow of verses is juxtaposed with mesmerizing background vocals. The track delivers several instances of hard-hitting social commentary, Curry raps “the selfish are constantly profitin’ off the helpless” as the background of the tracks provides a subdued element to the song. This contrast draws attention to the distance between conducting normal activities of everyday life and Curry’s feelings on the state of the world. The track overall conveys Curry’s attempt to focus on himself and make it through difficult days as these overarching political struggles loom over him.</p>
<p>The struggles are ultimately personified in a cinematic battle between Curry and his rival John Wayne in an epic, climactic ending to the video.</p>

<p>After hinting at the project since 2020, Curry released a <a href="https://www.spin.com/2022/01/denzel-curry-to-release-new-album-melt-my-eyes-see-your-future/">trailer</a> for <em>Melt My Eyez See Your Future</em> earlier this month. The album follows Curry’s collaboration with Kenny Beats on their 2020 album <em>Unlocked</em>. The album follows Curry’s latest solo album <em>Zuu</em> from 2019.</p>
<p>In a statement, the rapper commented on what audiences can expect from the forthcoming album, “I like traditional hip-hop, I like drum and bass, I like trap, I like poetry, so a lot of that is going to be interwoven in this album, including jazz and a lot of genres that I came up on as a kid and just being in my parents’ house.”</p>
<p class="p3">Several notable <a href="https://www.spin.com/2021/06/denzel-curry-shares-bad-luck-collab-with-playthatboizay/">names</a> are listed as features on the forthcoming album including T-Pain, 6lack, Rico Nasty, JID, Slowthai, Thundercat, Robert Glasper, and JPEGMAFIA.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> Tickets will be available for presale starting Tuesday, January 25 on <a href="https://www.ticketmaster.com/denzel-curry-tickets/artist/1960272">Ticketmaster</a>.</span></p>

<p>Goldsmith has been teasing a reunion for several days on his <a href="https://www.instagram.com/w_goldsmith/?hl=en">Instagram feed</a>, where he’s shared videos of him rehearsing drum parts for a variety of Sunny Day Real Estate songs and a screenshot of a text message exchange with Hoerner. A new Instagram account, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/sdretour/">@SDREtour</a>, also appeared last week but has yet to post any content.</p>
<p>Sunny Day Real Estate formed in Seattle in 1992 and released the hugely influential Sub Pop albums <em>Diary</em> (1994) and the colloquially named <em>The Pink Album</em> (1995), but disbanded amid internal tensions before the second album was even released. The group was beloved for its emotionally resonant music and intense live performances, which directly led to Sub Pop offering them a record deal during the alternative rock explosion of the early 1990s.</p>
<p>“It was literally like watching U2 in 1980 and was one of the five best shows I’ve ever seen in my entire life,” Sub Pop publicist Nils Bernstein <a href="https://www.fiftygrande.com/oral-history-of-the-crocodile-cafe/">told <em>Fifty Grande</em></a> of Sunny Day’s May 1993 gig at Seattle’s Crocodile Cafe, which drew a very sparse crowd. “Imagine that first record being played exactly like it sounds on the record, except more intense and emotional. We signed them instantly, or at least told them that we would.”</p>
<p>After Sunny Day’s initial split, Mendel and Goldsmith joined Dave Grohl in Foo Fighters in time for that band’s maiden tour in spring 1995, while Enigk recorded a well-regarded Sub Pop solo album, <em>Return of the Frog Queen</em>. Goldsmith left the Foos in 1997, but Mendel has remained in the band to this day and was inducted into the Rock and Roll of Fame with them last year.</p>
<p>In 1998, Sunny Day reunited for the first time (without Mendel) and released a final Sub Pop album, <em>How It Feels To Be Something On</em>, and then a one-off for now-defunct Time Bomb Records, “The Rising Tide,” in 2000. The group broke up again the following year, but reassembled shortly thereafter with Mendel and without Hoerner in a new band, The Fire Theft, which was active until 2004.</p>
<div class="ast-oembed-container"><iframe style="width: 699px; height: 523px;" title="Rain Song" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/l5H8bfNmtvk?feature=oembed" width="699" height="523" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p>Spurred by a Sub Pop reissue campaign around the first three albums, the original Sunny Day Real Estate quartet got back together for a tour in 2009-2010, when a break in Foo Fighters activity made it possible for Mendel to participate. Some new music was recorded after the trek ended, but tensions flared again and the project was abandoned. A lone new song, “Lipton Witch,” was released in 2014 on a split seven-inch single with Circa Survive for Record Store Day.</p>
<p>Enigk had been scheduled to join Thursday, Cursive and The Appleseed Cast on a North American tour this winter, but recently pulled out of all but the Seattle and Portland stops for unspecified reasons. Goldsmith is working on a new album with his band Assertion, which will be the follow-up to last year’s debut release, “Intermission.” Mendel will be back on tour with Foo Fighters starting at the <a href="https://www.spin.com/2021/10/foo-fighters-and-tame-impala-set-to-headline-innings-festival-2022/">Innings Festival</a> in Arizona on Feb. 26, the day after the group’s horror film <a href="https://www.spin.com/2022/01/foo-fighters-studio-666-trailer/"><em>Studio 666</em></a> hits theaters.</p>

</ul>
<p>It’s the culmination of a partnership that’s lasted six-decades and will see the entirety of Dylan’s work since 1962 pass to Sony.</p>
<p>The agreement, which was concluded last year but was only announced today (January 24), will see everything from Dylan’s self-titled debut to his last album ‘<a href="https://www.nme.com/reviews/bob-dylan-rough-and-rowdy-ways-album-review-2688344">Rough And Rowdy Ways</a>‘ jump over to Sony in a deal that’s reportedly worth millions.</p>
<p>Dylan will continue to collaborate with Sony on a range of future projects including catalogue reissues and more.</p>
<figure id="attachment_3130418" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 2000px;" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-3130418"><img src="https://www.nme.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/bob-dylan-sexual-abuse-accuser-amends-lawsuit@2000x1270.jpg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="Bob Dylan sexual abuse accuser amends lawsuit time frame" height="444" width="699" /></figure>
<p>Speaking about the deal, Dylan said: “Columbia Records and Rob Stringer have been nothing but good to me for many, many years and a whole lot of records. I’m glad that all my recordings can stay where they belong.”</p>
<p>Rob Stringer, the chairman of Sony Music Group, added: “Columbia Records has had a special relationship with Bob Dylan from the beginning of his career and we are tremendously proud and excited to be continuing to grow and evolve our ongoing 60-year partnership. Bob is one of music’s greatest icons and an artist of unrivalled genius.</p>
<p>“The essential impact he and his recordings continue to have on popular culture is second to none and we’re thrilled he will now be a permanent member of the Sony Music family. We are excited to work with Bob and his team to find new ways to make his music available to his many fans today and to future generations.”</p>

<p>Dylan is the latest in a long line of artists to sell their music rights recently.</p>
<p>Earlier this month, <a href="https://www.nme.com/artists/john-legend">John Legend</a> reportedly sold the rights to his music to the companies KKR and BMG.</p>

</ul>
<p>Herrera, who plays Javi Elizonndro the nephew and successor of kingpin Omar Navarro (Felix Solis), shot dead newlyweds Darlene (Lisa Emery) and Wyatt (Charlie Tahan) in episode seven.</p>
<p>Speaking about the scene, Herrera told<a href="https://ew.com/tv/ozark-final-season-postmortem-alfonso-herrera/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em> Entertainment Weekly</em></a> : “When I read that, as a fan, I was in shock. But, as the actor playing Javi, I was very excited to see the arc of this character. That last scene, it’s very potent, it’s very explosive.”</p>
<p>Herrera went on to say the scene was so harrowing that prior to filming, he felt the need to take Emery and Tahan into his arms.</p>
<p><iframe title="Ozark: Season 4 | Part 1 Trailer | Netflix" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/SB3xj2BKgHs?feature=oembed" width="696" height="392" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" loading="lazy"></iframe></p>
<p>“That was hard, man, because when I arrived to set, it was the first time I was meeting them both,” he explained. “And I remember I just hugged them, and they said, ‘This is going to be tough,’ and I said, ‘I don’t know if I have to say this is an honour, or I’m just sad, but it’s a complete pleasure to work with you and to be with you in this process.'”</p>
<p>He continued: “They were very generous, and it was emotional when we finished. Not just for me, but for the whole cast and crew. They’ve been there since the beginning, so it was a very heartfelt goodbye from everyone to them.”</p>
<p>He also promised more surprises in the second half of<em> Ozark</em>‘s final season.</p>
<p>“What’s going to happen afterwards, it’s going to be mind-blowing,” Herrera added. “If you think that Javi is someone that you cannot read and you do not expect how he’s going to react, what’s going to happen next is that times 20.”</p>
<p><em>NME </em>awarded part one <a href="https://www.nme.com/reviews/tv-reviews/ozark-season-4-part-1-review-netflix-3139654">of the final season four stars</a> and described it as “the beginning of the end for the Byrdes.”</p>
<div id="jwplayer-video-b7nRdzep"></div>
<p>It added: “<a href="https://www.nme.com/reviews/ozark-season-3-review-2634775" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Season three was a highpoint</a> – and its cliffhanger genuinely stunning. Season four part one (another seven episodes arrive later in 2022) keeps up that momentum, but occasionally runs out of ideas.”</p>
<p><em>‘</em>Ozark’ season four part one is out on Netflix now.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/maneskin">Måneskin</a> have quickly and not-so-quietly taken the rock world be storm ever since winning the Eurovision Song Contest last spring. Last night they etched one more notch on their belts by making their <a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/saturday-night-live"><em>Saturday Night Live</em></a> debut during an episode that was hosted by <em>SNL </em>alum Will Forte.</p>
<p>For their first song, the Italian quartet performed their cover of Four Seasons’ 1967 song “Beggin.'” The song, which initially caught fire on TikTok last year, showcased Måneskin’s talents as a magnetic live act. They also performed “I Wanna Be Your Slave.”</p>

<p>Legendary SoCal rappers <a href="http://spin.com/tag/cypress-hill">Cypress Hill</a> have just announced that they’re releasing their 10th album <em>Back In Black </em>on March 18 via MNRK.</p>
<p>The album is their first since 2018’s <em>Elephants on Acid </em>and only their second in nearly 12 years. To mark the momentous occasion, the group released a brand new single, “Bye Bye,” as a follow-up to last year’s “Open Ya Mind” and “Champion Sound.” The latest song from the album also happens to include Dizzy Wright as one of only two features on the entire release.</p>
<p><iframe src="https://open.spotify.com/embed/track/1gltrFINFAUduehbBjSexB?utm_source=generator" width="100%" height="380" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<p>“In Cypress Hill tradition, we always try to make a dark song,” B-Real said in a statement about the new track. “It’s what we’ve been known for, especially on our first three albums. This song is a statement. In a roundabout way, we spoke to the politics of today. Being lulled into this dreamworld by the government. Trying to blind us from the separation that they created, to put us to sleep while they do whatever they want.”</p>
<p>As if the new album wasn’t enough, the crew is also working on a documentary, an NFT collection, and partnerships with names like Stance and Z2 Comics. It’s going to be a busy 2022 for B-Real, Sen Dog, and everyone else involved.</p>

The artist’s family confirmed the news in a statement posted on his Facebook <a href="https://www.facebook.com/MeatLoaf/posts/483327946483936">page</a> early Friday morning.</p>
<p>No cause of death was given.</p>
<p>See their statement below:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Our hearts are broken to announce that the incomparable Meat Loaf passed away tonight surrounded by his wife Deborah, daughters Pearl and Amanda and close friends.<br>His amazing career spanned 6 decades that saw him sell over 100 Million albums worldwide and star in over 65 movies, including “Fight Club”, “Focus”, “Rocky Horror Picture Show” and “Wayne’s World.”<br>“Bat Out of Hell” remains one of the top 10 selling albums of all time.<br>We know how much he meant to so many of you and we truly appreciate all of the love and support as we move through this time of grief in losing such an inspiring artist and beautiful man.<br>We thank you for your understanding of our need for privacy at this time.<br>From his heart to your souls…don’t ever stop rocking!</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Born as Marvin Lee Aday in Dallas, Texas, on September 27, 1947, Meatloaf (which was a family nickname) came from a family of singers. His career started in musical theater. Beginning with a spot in the Los Angeles production of <em>Hair</em>, Meatloaf would go on to feature in More Than You Deserve and As You Like It, before landing a role in <em>The Rocky Horror Picture Show</em> as Eddie.</p>
<p>It was on the set of <em>More Than You Deserve</em> where he met Jim Steinman. The two would join forces for <em>Bat Out of Hell</em>, the 1977 album would become both’s seminal work. <em>Bat Out of Hell</em>, produced by Todd Rundgren, would go on to sell more than 40 million albums worldwide. Singles “Paradise by the Dashboard Light” and “Bat Out of Hell” remain staples on rock radio to this day. During this time, Meatloaf’s live shows got a reputation as over-the-top spectacles</p>
<p>Meatloaf’s career would taper off after that. He’d have a contentious split with Steinman that would lead to legal issues. However, the two would reunite in the early 1990s for <em>Bat Out of Hell II: Back Into Hell</em>. The album would kickstart one of the most unlikely comebacks in music history, especially during the alternative era. The album was by lead single, power ballad, “I Would Do Anything for Love (But I Won’t Do That),” which became Meatloaf’s only song to land on the Billboard 100 singles chart. The song also won a <a href="https://www.grammy.com/grammys/artists/meat-loaf/12027">Grammy</a> in 1994 for Best Rock Vocal Solo Performance.</p>

<p>Later, Meatloaf and Steinman (who <a href="https://www.spin.com/2021/04/jim-steinman-meatloaf-and-bonnie-tyler-songwriter-dies-at-73/">died</a> last year), would release <em>Bat Out of Hell III: The Monster Is Loose </em>in 2006. Meatloaf’s last album was 2016’s <em>Braver Than We Are</em>.</p>
<p>He is survived by his wife Deborah, daughters Pearl and Amanda.</p>

It’s <em>Lord of the Flies</em> meets <em>Lost</em> meets <em>Pretty Little Liars</em>. Or how about <a href="https://www.nme.com/reviews/film-reviews/the-craft-legacy-review-2802284" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>The Craft</em></a> meets <em>Mean Girls</em> meets <em>Bear Grylls</em>. Seen <a href="https://www.nme.com/features/the-wilds-5-things-you-need-to-know-about-amazons-new-teen-centric-lost-2835984" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>The Wilds</em></a>? It’s that meets <a href="https://www.nme.com/tag/riverdale" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Riverdale</em></a> meets <a href="https://www.nme.com/reviews/teenage-bounty-hunters-review-netflix-2727296" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Teenage Bounty Hunters</em></a>. All of these references points work to a degree, but really, there’s nothing on TV like it.</p>
<p>If you’re unaware, <em>Yellowjackets</em> is a show principally set in 1996, about a high school girls soccer team whose plane crashes in the Canadian wilderness en route to the national championships. Some of the team die in the crash. Most of them survive. Their adult coach loses a leg. Then they get hungry and start to go insane. Somewhere in-between all of this there are wolf attacks, ill-advised teenage fumblings, seances and a truly bonkers evening on magic mushrooms. The season starts with one of the girls having their throat slit and their flesh served up in a stew. After that, a split timeline follows four of the characters 25 years later, cutting back to the ’90s for shocking reveals of who’s dead and who did the killing.</p>
<figure id="attachment_3141825" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 2000px;" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-3141825"><img src="https://www.nme.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/Yellowjackets_Finale_Sky.jpg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="Yellowjackets" height="444" width="699" /></figure>
<p>There’s much that’s brilliant about <em>Yellowjackets</em>. The soundtrack, mostly plucked from ’90s pop and alt rock is thrilling (and a reminder that ‘Informer’ by reggae/rap hybrid Snow, is a stone cold classic). There are breakout performances in the 1996 timeline (Liv Hewson as goalkeeper Van, Sophie Thatcher as the grungy Natalie). In the adult one, there are career revivals for some of the ’90s most iconic faces (Juliette Lewis as Natalie, Christina Ricci as unhinged and complicated yet often heroic Misty). And as a mystery, it’s hugely gripping. It’s never clear whether the strange events taking place in the wilderness are supernatural, or if mental illness, hunger, superstition, and immaturity are making events seem so.</p>
<p>If this is sending a chill down the spine of anyone who sat through six seasons of <em>Lost</em>, only to learn that the passengers of fight 815 were [redacted], worry not. Not only has <em>Yellowjackets</em> already been green-lit for a second season, creators Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson have said that they’ve plotted the entirety of the girls’ story to conclude three seasons after that. This is a show that knows where it’s going, and how it’s going to get there. You might have some reservations about whether the ‘visions’ of ‘off-her-meds’ Lottie (Courtney Eaton) is ultimately going to romanticise and misrepresent mental illness, but narratively, there’s no making it up as they go along here.</p>
<figure id="attachment_3141824" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 2000px;" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-3141824"><img src="https://www.nme.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/Yellowjackets_Episode_Two_alamy.jpg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="Yellowjackets" height="445" width="699" /></figure>
<p>But where <em>Yellowjackets</em> also excels is as a passport to the decade that’s been most mythologised and most misunderstood. Tonally, it hits the right beats throughout. The otherwise touching scene between teenage Natalie and her best friend Kevyn makes a brief pitstop at Cringe Country when they debate whether <a href="https://www.nme.com/artists/nirvana" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nirvana</a> “sold out after ‘Bleach'” or not, but otherwise the pop culture references are sound. Any viewer of an age will recall the moment at every house party when the living room would suddenly become a platform for a dance-off, soundtracked by Montell Jordan’s ‘This Is How We Do It’. Similarly, it was <em>actual law</em> that every school disco end with a slow dance to Seal’s ‘Kiss from A Rose’ – and <em>Yellowjackets</em> obliges in its ninth episode.</p>
<p>And yet, <em>Yellowjackets</em> exposes many of the myths that have been built up around the ’90s too. It is an era that’s often held up as a time of great freedoms. I should know. I was there. In the relationship of Natalie and Travis (one of three males to survive the crash, played by Kevin Alves) we see problematic boy-girl sexual politics that are still being thrashed out today. When Natalie screams that she has desires too, it’s an utterance that echo’s through the ages. Then, in Assistant Coach Ben Scott (Steven Krueger), Van and Taissa (Jasmin Savoy Brown), we have three characters who are only comfortable with revealing their sexuality when the plane has crashed and their community is small, with bigger dangers to face than someone knowing who they like to fuck.</p>
<p>It’s worth remembering that in the real world, two years after the earlier timeline of <em>Yellowjackets</em> was set, in an event which kickstarted the long fight for the hate crime legislation present in law today, gay university student Matthew Shepard was tied to a barbed wire fence in Wyoming, tortured and left to die. We liked to think we had things worked out in the ’90s. A democrat in The White House, Downing Street swathed in red. With hindsight, the gloss obscured the lack of substance, like a cake made out of icing and no sponge.</p>
<p>In fact, before the girls go and get a bit feral (no spoilers here), there’s an argument that their new home in the wilderness is everything you heard about the ’90s: tolerant, supportive, idealistic, a right laugh. Sadly, that wasn’t really the case.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/pedro-the-lion">Pedro the Lion</a> dropped a surprise new album on Thursday titled <em>Havasu</em>. Similarly to their 2019 release, <em>Phoenix</em>, Pedro the Lion’s David Bazan found himself looking to his earliest childhood experiences to inspire the album. The title, Havasu, refers to a community in Arizona he grew up in.</p>
<div class="ast-oembed-container"><iframe style="width: 697px; height: 393px;" title="Pedro The Lion - Havasu [FULL ALBUM STREAM]" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/7cPbI6ck484?feature=oembed" width="697" height="393" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p>Bazan emphasizes that this album is a product of childhood nostalgia. Upon visiting Lake Havasu, Bazan was struck by inspiration related to his upbringing and the kindness he would like to show his younger self. “It gave me the ability to make vulnerable choices, and connect with a part of my younger self that I didn’t want to turn my back on,” he said in a statement. “I worked through a lot of self-judgment, and was kinder to myself on this record than I have been before in any songs.”</p>
<p>The album is carried by Bazan’s wistful storytelling chalked full with lyrics of schoolyard angst and retrospective observations of a childhood past. The melancholic nature of many of the songs powerfully translates the message of Bazan’s yearning for validation as a child. Havasu strives to be a celebration of adolescence despite prevailing pain from the past always seeping through.</p>
<p>Pedro the Lion is going on tour throughout North America starting April 2022.</p>

<p>An extravagant trailer for the upcoming <a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/super-bowl">Super Bowl LVI</a> Halftime Show has just been released.</p>
<p>Deemed “The Call,” this year’s Super Bowl Halftime Show will feature Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige, and Kendrick Lamar.</p>
<p> </p>
<div class="ast-oembed-container"><iframe style="width: 699px; height: 394px;" title="The Call | Pepsi Super Bowl LVI Halftime Show OFFICIAL TRAILER" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/h3NhX6-5mO0?feature=oembed" width="699" height="394" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p> </p>
<p>Jay-Z’s company Roc Nation has booked the halftime performances for the last three years. So, in his good taste, it makes sense that Jay-Z could pull together some of hip hop’s biggest, era-spanning stars for one of the nation’s favorite sporting events—and definitely music events—of the year. The highly anticipated performance follows when The Weeknd’s <a href="https://www.spin.com/2021/02/the-weeknd-super-bowl-performance/">set</a> last year.</p>
<p>In the trailer, all the artists are in the middle of something—Eminem tries to come up with lyrics, Snoop is cruising down the highway, Blige poses for a photoshoot, Lamar is re-writing something over and over <em>The Shining</em>-style—when the only and only Dr. Dre makes “The Call” to them. The ante-upping, bougie visual leaves us hoping the star-studded performance will be exactly that.</p>
<p>The trailer is backed by a compilation of iconic tracks from all of this year’s performers, including “Rap God,” “The Next Episode,” “Family Affair,” “HUMBLE,” “Still D.R.E.,” and “California Love.” It was directed by <em>Straight Outta Compton </em>auteur F. Gary Gray.</p>

</ul>
<p>Speaking to <a href="https://www.nme.com/tag/euphoria"><em>Euphoria</em></a>‘s Hunter Schafer on the <a href="https://a24films.com/notes?f=Podcast" target="_blank" rel="noopener">A24 podcast</a>, Lorde revealed that she’d been “totally obsessed” with Antartica throughout her childhood and that obsession grew as she “started to engage more with our planet”.</p>
<p>“I felt like I needed to go there. I had this reaction, people call it ‘last chance tourism’ which is going somewhere before it’s too late and that was my first thought.”</p>
<p>Despite calling the trip “the best five days of my life” and saying she’d “never do anything like it again, it was so crazy from start to finish,” Lorde revealed that “going there and actually having that experience made me realise, ‘oh no, you can’t go around doing this’. This is the opposite of what you’re supposed to do. I probably shouldn’t have gone to Antartica, it was naughty to use my pop star resources and burn that jet fuel to go there.”</p>

<p>She then added: “I wrote <a href="https://www.nme.com/news/music/lorde-to-release-100-page-photo-album-documenting-antarctica-trip-2824405">this (100-page) book</a> and the proceeds went to a couple of scholarships for people doing their doctorates in climate science, so that felt like a good way to give back.”</p>
<p><a href="https://www.nme.com/news/music/lordes-third-album-title-is-inspired-by-her-trip-to-antarctica-2840210">Speaking about her trip to New Zealand’s <em>Newshub</em>, Lorde said</a>: “It’s such an alien environment and it’s so dazzling, straight away. I had this very distinct moment of thinking, ‘This is the coolest your life will ever get. Like, this is it.’ I actually decided on the album name right around that trip. Just coming back from that trip I thought: ‘This is what it is.’”</p>

<p>Lorde <a href="https://www.nme.com/news/music/lorde-calls-for-urgent-action-on-climate-change-after-visit-to-antarctica-2826637">called for immediate action on climate change from global leaders</a> following her visit. “I envisioned Antarctica slowly turning to slush, flooding the Southern ocean. The urgency I had once felt about making the trip south returned,” she wrote in an essay for New Zealand’s <em style="font-family: Verdana, BlinkMacSystemFont, -apple-system, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;">Metro</em> magazine. “I made phone call after phone call, got several dozen booster shots, and then it was happening – this dreamy musician was hitching a ride to the end of the world.</p>
<p>“Being in Antarctica has clarified how deeply vulnerable, how in need of protection, it is. But it took coming here for that knowledge to galvanise – and in coming here, I have also been a small part of its deterioration.”</p>

<p><a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/taylor-swift">Taylor Swift</a> was named Record Store Day’s first-ever Global Ambassador for 2022.</p>
<p>Aside from moving lots of her own vinyl, Swift has a <a href="https://www.stereogum.com/2078828/taylor-swift-nashville-record-store-grimeys/news/">history of supporting</a> independent record stores.</p>
<p>In past years, Jack White, Dave Grohl, Pearl Jam, St. Vincent, and Run The Jewels have all been appointed ambassadors, but Swift marks the first Global one. She is also the third female RSD ambassador, following St. Vincent and Brandi Carlile, who was 2020’s selection.</p>
<p>In the statement on <a href="https://recordstoreday.com/NewsItem/9949">Record Store Day’s</a> website, Swift said:</p>
<p><em>I’m very proud to be this year’s Global Ambassador for Record Store Day. The places where we go to browse and explore and discover music new and old have always been sacred to me. Record stores are so important because they help to perpetuate and foster music-loving as a passion. They create settings for live events. They employ people who adore music thoroughly and purely. Those people and shops have had a rough few years and we need to support these small businesses more now than ever to make sure they can stay alive, stay eccentric, and stay individual. It’s been a true joy for me to watch vinyl sales grow in the past few years and we, the artists, have the fans to thank for this pleasant surprise. Happy Record Store Day, everyone! Stay safe out there.</em></p>
<p>Record Store Day is scheduled to take place on April 23 this year. Due to the pandemic, Record Store Day has been pushed to “Drops” spread across two months.</p>

<p>During a recent conversation on the bassist’s Apple Music Hits show, <a href="https://music.apple.com/us/station/the-canada-rock-show/ra.1603723859" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>After School Radio</em></a>, the Canadian singer-songwriter said: “I was really excited to work with you. I mean, to be honest, you’re one of my favourite artists.”</p>
<p>Lavigne continued: “[1997 Blink album] ‘Dude Ranch’ and ‘Enema Of The State’ [1999] … those were the records I was listening to in high school, and as a teenager and I feel like they were really impactful on me as I was coming into my own musical identity.</p>
<p>The ‘Sk8er Boi’ artist went on to say that the pair worked on ‘All I Wanted’ together remotely “over Zoom, which was different”.</p>
<p>“I mean, I was so excited and I was really impressed with how efficient you are in the studio,” she recalled. “You write, you record yourself, you can engineer, you sing, you’re playing.</p>

<p>“And so having you on the album is a huge honour for me. So I’m really excited about our collaboration.”</p>
<p>Set for release via <a href="https://www.nme.com/artists/travis-barker">Travis Barker</a>‘s label <a href="https://www.nme.com/news/music/avril-lavigne-travis-barker-record-label-new-single-teaser-3087168">DTA Records</a>, ‘Love Sux’ will see Lavigne return to her pop-punk roots.

<p>Elsewhere in her chat with Hoppus, the musician said it’s “a type of album I’ve wanted to make for a long time” as well as being her “most alternative record sonically”.</p>
<p>“My last album [2019’s <a href="https://www.nme.com/reviews/avril-lavigne-head-above-water-review-2446726">‘Head Above Water’</a>] was very introspective and deep and this one is just rocking all the way through,” Lavigne explained. “And I’m really excited to take this out and play these songs live.”</p>

<p><a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/every-time-i-die">Every Time I Die</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/deathoftheparty/status/1483721043562975233/photo/1">wrote a four-page account</a> of the band’s breakup from his perspective. Keith said that in early December, he overheard his bandmembers talking about plans to “replace him.” Communication between the band devolved from there.</p>
<p>Keith’s message comes in response to a statement from Every Time I Die’s other four members — one of whom is Keith’s younger brother, guitarist Jordan Keith — announcing the band’s dissolution.</p>
<p>“There has been no direct communication with Keith, because it’s either impossible for direct communication with him solely or we’ve been cut off to any and all communication by him himself,” <a href="https://twitter.com/JordanETID/status/1483225253052518406/photo/1">said the statement</a> by “Andy, Jordan, Steve, and Goose.”</p>
<p>In December, Keith announced that he was taking a break from Every Time I Die’s tour due to what he described as taking care of mental health issues. The band continued their tour without him before Keith rejoined his bandmates for a pair of shows in the band’s hometown of Buffalo.</p>
<p>Keith, in his statement, said his bandmates didn’t reach out to him before those Buffalo shows. He also said that he found out about them continuing on without him like everyone else did: on Twitter.</p>

<p>On paper, <em>After the Fall</em> is yet another zombie apocalypse-based virtual reality game. In 2022, that’s not exactly newsworthy. Hell, the title’s Dutch developers at Vertigo Games have even already released one of the genre’s earliest defining games with 2016’s <em>Arizona Sunshine</em>.</p>
<p>But in (virtual) reality, <em>After the Fall</em> is greater than the sum of its parts.</p>
<p>Aside from providing an action-heavy blizzard-filled festival of violence that feels straight out of your favorite ‘80s action movies, <em>After the Fall</em> provides one of the rarest commodities in the entire gaming industry: a fleshed-out VR co-op experience. Perhaps it’s because the Vertigo Games team didn’t have to focus on how to do VR zombies, so they were able to put the emphasis on how to make squad-based VR gameplay that’s actually fun to play and works like it’s supposed to (most of the time).</p>
<p>Of course, no ‘80s-themed zombie spectacular would be complete without a soundtrack straight out of a classic horror film, and that’s where Jonathan van den Wijngaarden’s score comes into play. Inspired by John Carpenter, the veteran composer delivered arguably his finest work to date on the new title.</p>
<p><em>SPIN</em> spoke with van den Wijngaarden and the community manager for Vertigo Games, TamTu, about their latest adventure in re-dead-ing the undead.</p>
<div class="ast-oembed-container"><iframe style="width: 699px; height: 394px;" title="After the Fall | Launch Trailer [ESRB]" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/k0UCPkB6WOA?start=7&feature=oembed" width="699" height="394" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p> </p>
<p><strong><em>SPIN</em>: Now that <em>After the Fall</em> is finally out, how does it feel to see the fan reaction?</strong></p>
<p><strong>TamTu:</strong> For the dev team, it’s been quite a roller coaster, and it was a huge sigh of relief to finally get it out there. We’ve been talking about the game for such a long time — ever since we released a demo back in 2019 — and it was met with huge anticipation. Musically, we were able to sample some of the tracks in the trailers that we’ve released over time, so the response to that was really great. Seeing people react really positively to the trailers was really affirming for us, and it really motivated the team to keep going up to the release. The response post-launch has been pretty amazing too.</p>
<p><strong>Jonathan van den Wijngaarden:</strong> I wholeheartedly agree with TamTu there. I always feel that music gets a spotlight of its own when it comes to game launches, and composers are always on the frontline. It’s always super scary to read the first few reviews, but as the hours went by, I saw more and more positive responses. People actually mentioned the soundtrack so much that I even saw a reviewer stop talking over his video just to showcase the music.</p>
<p><strong>How different was making <em>After the Fall</em> as opposed to your previous zombie VR game, <em>Arizona Sunshine</em>?</strong></p>
<p><strong>Jonathan:</strong> Generally speaking, this game felt like starting all over again, because we were doing something different. We were focused on getting a multiplayer title out. The game is also a lot faster paced, which is reflected in the music. I hadn’t done music before for this adrenaline-pumping gameplay. It was a lot of trying different iterations on stuff to see if it would work with the game, because obviously VR is a very sensory-based experience. You get a sensory overload pretty quickly. Our background in VR gave a bit of a reassurance, but it still feels like every single project is going out there in the woods and making sure you come out alive.</p>
<p><strong>TamTu:</strong> From a development standpoint, it was very interesting to keep innovating. <em>Arizona Sunshine</em> was a pretty big title for us, so we all sat together and asked “What can we do to take it to the next level and really innovate in certain aspects?” There were a lot of new things that we learned over the course of development, like Jonathan using dynamic music in the levels. The pacing is a lot more action-focused, but when there’s no action in those moments between, we had to dynamically slow down and adjust the music as well.</p>
<p><strong>Considering that VR is all about immersion, what goes into building that VR atmosphere rather than a flat game?</strong></p>
<p><strong>Jonathan:</strong> I’m a huge fan of John Carpenter and his music, so I instantly felt that working that dreadfulness into the music would give users this nostalgic feel to match our ‘80s and ‘90s setting. It’s hard to explain, but if you listen to John Carpenter’s music on stuff like <em>The Fog</em> or <em>The Thing</em>, it has this dreadfulness to it with a certain kind of quality to it. That was something that I wanted this to have.</p>
<p><strong>Speaking of horror movies, what do you think it is about zombie games that work so well for VR?</strong></p>
<p><strong>TamTu:</strong> I think everyone has that fantasy or question of what it would be like to be in the apocalypse, and I think zombies represent one of the most realistic outcomes that could happen. It’s just not too far off from what could really happen, because the enemies themselves are still very human-like. I think that’s what really helps with the imagination and immersion of the concept of zombies — especially in VR. When you go into VR, you really experience a different reality, and in the case of <em>After the Fall</em> and <em>Arizona Sunshine</em>, that reality is the zombie apocalypse.</p>
<p><strong>What was it like putting together a full co-op VR game with <em>After the Fall</em>? It seems like there’s not a ton of co-op VR experiences out there.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Jonathan:</strong> Getting responses from the players is the best reward for doing this kind of work — even if it’s not aimed at me directly. The best reward I can have is seeing people tweet stuff and be very enthusiastic, seeing them laughing and having fun or being scared when they go through a specific area. So with a multiplayer game in VR as big as this one, it means that a lot of people will play it, and there’s going to be a lot of feedback. Obviously, there’s always going to be criticism too, which is totally fine. I take that stuff to heart as well and learn from it.</p>
<p><strong>TamTu:</strong> We absolutely felt like there was a certain void in VR for this genre as well. After seeing how popular the co-op experience was in <em>Arizona Sunshine</em>, it was something that we really latched on to. We said “Let’s make a four-player cross-platform co-op game for VR, and let’s make it work.” I think it’s important to be a front-runner on something like that, really innovate on it and set the bar for other developers.</p>
<p><strong><em>After the Fall</em> isn’t really your normal take on the zombie apocalypse either. What went into building a fairly unique take on a classic idea?</strong></p>
<p><strong>TamTu:</strong> I think the development team had a lot of fun trying to come up with something new for the zombie genre. The team is full of people who were big fans of the ‘80s and ‘90s action movies, so we gave ourselves a blank canvas after <em>Arizona Sunshine</em> to figure out what we really wanted to do. I think <em>After the Fall</em> really delivers on that whole action hero power fantasy. You’re the ones with the guns, so the enemy should be afraid of you, not the other way around. It’s a new take on the zombie genre, and we’re really happy we took that gamble and went for it.</p>
<p><strong>Jonathan:</strong> Normally in a zombie movie or a zombie game, you would be avoiding zombies as enemies. You would run away and try to make it out alive. But in this game, you actually go in there to hunt the Snowbreed because you can harvest the stuff you need from them. You can’t just go sit in your house, barricade the doors and wait for the apocalypse to happen. You have to go out into the blizzard and hunt down those creatures.</p>
<p><strong>What kind of message do you want to send to players about <em>After the Fall</em> going forward?</strong></p>
<p><strong>TamTu:</strong> The launch is only the beginning of <em>After the Fall</em>. We’ve got so much more in the pipeline. We’re coming out with new levels, new modes, and we’re just really excited to expand upon this world further than what we’ve set up so far.</p>
<p><strong>Jonathan:</strong> It’s going to be an interesting exercise for me, because I haven’t worked on a project like this before. I’ve been doing this kind of work for 17 years now, but I’ve never worked on a project that is scheduled to have a long run like this. Usually it’s just a release, getting it out there, and then pre-production starts for the next title. It’s really exciting to have the ability to grow, expand and try new things, ideas and approaches from a musical perspective now that the basic sound is established.</p>

<p>Indie-rock veterans <a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/superchunk">Superchunk</a> released a new single from their highly anticipated album<em> Wild Loneliness</em>. The record will be released on February 25 on Merge Records.</p>
<p>Previously, the band released “<a href="https://www.spin.com/2021/12/superchunk-announce-upcoming-album-wild-loneliness-share-first-single-endless-summer/">Endless Summer</a>,” their first single in support of <em>Wild Loneliness</em>. It has been nearly four years since the band’s previous full-length record was released, titled <em>What a Time to be Alive</em><em>. The album is available for preorder here.</em></p>
<p>“This Night” features a refreshingly upbeat indie-pop tune coupled with warm guitar tones and sickly sweet romantic lyrics. Superchunk’s Mac McCaughan states that pop bands like Camera Obscura inspired the track. This single was recorded in the band’s homestate of North Carolina during the <a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/coronavirus">COVID</a> lockdown alongside the rest of the tracklist. Strings by Owen Pallet and vocals by Tracyanne Campbell of Camera Obscura are featured on the single.</p>

<p>“Like much of <em>Wild Loneliness</em>, this song was written in the mode of “let’s look around and be thankful for what we have rather than focusing on what Republicans have taken from an entire generation”; it’s nostalgic but in a way that tries to capture what’s still relevant and positive about long relationships,” McCaughan said about the single.</p>
<p>Last year, McCaughan released a solo album titled <em>The Sound of Yourself</em>. We spoke with him about it, which you can read <a href="https://www.spin.com/2021/09/mac-mccaughan-the-sound-of-yourself-interview/">here</a>.</p>
<p>Superchunk is touring in North America in support of <em>Wild Loneliness</em> starting in late February. Tickets are currently on sale.</p>

<p>In the trailer for documentary <em>Will Smith: The Best Shape of My Life</em>, the actor discusses his mental health struggles.</p>
<p>“When I started this show, I thought I was getting into the best shape of my life, physically,” he said. “But, mentally, I was somewhere else. I ended up discovering a whole lot of hidden things about myself.”</p>
<p>“That was the only time in my life that I ever considered suicide”, Smith tells his family of hitting rock bottom, although the clip doesn’t provide further context.</p>

<p>The <a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/grammys">Grammys</a> have a new date. After being originally scheduled to take place in Los Angeles on January 31, the Grammys are headed to Sin City. The ceremony will now take place at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on April 3 at 8 pm EST.</p>
<p>This is the first time that the ceremony won’t take place in music hubs New York City, Los Angeles or Nashville. Another fun fact: this will be the latest the Grammys have taken place in any calendar year. The previous latest time was April 13, 1965. For those of you keeping score, that was before <em>Highway 61 Revisited </em>came out and Bob Dylan was merely the target of scorn by all folkies.</p>
<p>Now back to the present day, Trevor Noah will host the ceremony just as he did in 2021.</p>
<p>Here’s what Grammys boss Harvey Mason, Jr said in a statement:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>We are excited to take the GRAMMYs to Las Vegas for the very first time, and to put on a world class show. From the moment we announced the postponement of the original show date, we have been inundated with heartfelt messages of support and solidarity from the artist community. We are humbled by their generosity and grateful for their unwavering commitment to the GRAMMY Awards and the Academy’s mission. We appreciate the leadership CBS and our production partners at Fulwell 73 have shown during these challenging weeks and the flexibility of everyone who worked toward this solution.</p>

<p>Bardem explained that he and Cruz were having dinner at Prince’s home in London with Jordi Mollà before one of Prince’s shows.</p>

<p>“So I step out of the room and I say, ‘Hey, we are here.’ ‘Are you finished?’ ‘Yes.’” Then Prince came and said, ‘Are you done?’ ‘Yes.’”</p>
<p>The actor said Prince then sent Bardem and Cruz to their seats, and started the show very quickly afterwards. “We were like, ‘Oh my god, they’ve been waiting an hour for us to finish the dinner,’” Bardem said.</p>
<p>“So that’s my Hollywood star story – I made people wait for an hour. I’m so sorry… I didn’t know. I swear to god, I didn’t know.”</p>

<p>It’s official: the 2000s emo revival is here. On Tuesday, <a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/when-we-were-young-festival">When We Were Young fest</a> revealed its lineup and its all emo bands that first arrived 20 years ago.</p>
<p>My Chemical Romance, Paramore, Jimmy Eat World, Avril Lavigne, Bright Eyes AFI and Dashboard Confessional feature. Additionally, some more recent additions to When We Were Young’s lineup include Wolf Alice, Car Seat Headrest, jxdn and Palaye Royale.</p>
<p>When We Were Young fest takes place October 22 at the Las Vegas Festival Grounds. Tickets go <a href="https://www.whenwewereyoungfestival.com/">on sale</a> at 10 am PST this Friday, January 21. Ticket prices start at $224 for weekend GA passes and rise to $499 for VIP.</p>
<p>If nothing else, it looks like this is going to be an active year for many of the emo bands on the bill. My Chem has been sitting on a reunion tour since their ballyhooed <a href="https://www.spin.com/2019/12/my-chemical-romance-la-reunion-show-live-review/">return</a> in 2019. Paramore recently said that they’re working on their first new album in quite some time as well.</p>
<p>Originally, the festival took place in Orange County and has been dormant since 2017. So get ready to bust out your favorite Hot Topic gear, chain wallets and eyeliner. If this feels like this is inspired by the Warped Tour from that, maybe, it kinda sorta is.</p>

<p>Toronto punk rockers <a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/pup">PUP</a> detailed their fourth studio record, <em>The UNRAVELING OF PUPTHEBAND</em>, and released its latest single, “Robot Writes A Love Song.”</p>
<p>The track itself, the band says, was written in 15 minutes with its vocals recorded in the backseat of Babcock’s car. The song’s video was directed by Whitney McConnaughy.</p>
<div class="ast-oembed-container"><iframe style="width: 697px; height: 393px;" title="PUP - Robot Writes A Love Song (Official Music Video)" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/IuUjidzRhtI?feature=oembed" width="697" height="393" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p><em>The Unraveling </em>is out April 1 (and available for <a href="https://pup.lnk.to/TUOPTB">pre-order</a> now), which band members Stefan Babcock, Nestor Chumak, Zack Mykula, and Steve Sladkowski recorded and mixed over five summer days in 2021. Grammy-award-winning producer Peter Katis hosted the band in his own home studio to create the album, and with more allotted time to do so because of the pandemic, PUP had the time to experiment and use instruments like piano, synths, and horns for the first time. Also while stuck in isolation, the band remotely teamed up with Sarah from Illuminati Hotties, Kathryn from NOBRO, Mel from Casper Skulls, and Erik from Remo Drive on the album.</p>
<p>The band has long been a favorite of ours, landing on our past <a href="https://www.spin.com/2020/07/the-50-best-rock-bands-right-now-2020/">two</a> <a href="https://www.spin.com/2021/10/best-rock-bands-2021/">lists</a> of the best rock bands.</p>
<p>Yes, PUP is going on tour! Tickets are <a href="https://www.puptheband.com/#tour">on sale now</a> for the band’s world tour, which includes festival stops at Coachella and Shaky Knees. The tour is set to take off in February with several dates throughout Canada, and after a couple of months performing in small venues in the U.S., PUP will return to Canada prior to their final dates in the UK, Australia, and Spain.</p>

<p>During an appearance on the <a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/5VWbD8DdT4lYstIqE4yREy?si=725476a9fda14dd8" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Awards Chatter </em></a>podcast (via <a href="https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/951026c6-784d-11ec-a9ac-7b4ca33c4cb4?shareToken=5ea6af9d240e2c5caebabb2be3ecdf54" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>The Times</em></a>), the frontman explained that he turns off the radio when the group’s tracks are played because he can’t listen to his vocals.</p>
<p>He also claimed that he had only learnt how to sing “recently”.</p>
<p>Bono – real name Paul Hewson – went on to admit that he’s “still” doesn’t like U2’s band name. “I really don’t. But I was late into some kind of dyslexia,” he said. “I didn’t realise that <a href="https://www.nme.com/artists/the-beatles">The Beatles</a> was a bad pun either.</p>
<p>“In our head it was like the spy plane, U-boat, it was futuristic – as it turned out to imply this kind of acquiescence, no I don’t like that name. I still don’t really like the name.”</p>
<p>He continued: “Paul McGuinness, our first manager, did say, ‘Look, it’s a great name, it’s going to look good on a T-shirt, a letter and a number’.”</p>
<p>Explaining that most vocal performances “make me cringe a little bit”, Bono said that U2’s 2004 single ‘Vertigo’ is “probably is the one I’m proudest of”. “It’s the way it connects with the crowd,” he added.</p>
<p><iframe title="Spotify Embed: Bono and The Edge - 'Sing 2'" src="https://open.spotify.com/embed/episode/5VWbD8DdT4lYstIqE4yREy?si=1fa4e0faeb6a4b1e&utm_source=oembed" width="100%" height="152" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" loading="lazy"></iframe></p>
<p>“I’ve been in the car when one of our songs has come on the radio and I’ve been the colour of, as we say in Dublin, scarlet. I’m just so embarrassed.”</p>
<p>Although he believes “the band sound incredible”, the 61-year-old frontman said his voice is now “strained”.</p>
<p>Looking back to the ’80s, Bono went on to recall how the late <a href="https://www.nme.com/artists/robert-palmer">Robert Palmer</a> told U2 bassist Adam Clayton: “‘God, would you ever tell your singer to just take down the keys a little bit, he’d do himself a favour and he’d do us all a favour who have to listen to him.’</p>
<p>“But I was thinking out of my body. I wasn’t thinking about singing. I didn’t really think about changing keys. Did we ever change a key?”.</p>
<p>He added: “I do think U2 pushes out the boat on embarrassment quite a lot and maybe that’s the place to be as an artist, you know right at the edge of your level of embarrassment.”</p>
<figure id="attachment_3086729" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 2000px;" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-3086729"><img src="https://www.nme.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/U2-Helena-Christensen-Rio-2017.jpg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="U2" height="445" width="699" /></figure>
<p>Bono said that U2’s 1980 debut record ‘Boy’ contained “very unique and original material” in terms of lyrics, as did some “other albums” that followed.</p>
<p>“But I don’t think I filled in the details,” he continued, “and I look back and I go ‘God’.”</p>

<p><a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/weird-al-yankovic">“Weird Al” Yankovic</a> is finally getting his own biopic, <em>Weird: The Al Yankovic Story</em>, with none other than <em>Harry Potter</em> star Daniel Radcliffe playing the “Eat It” singer.</p>
<p>Yankovic penned the screenplay alongside Eric Appel, who is also directing and executive producing the movie. The film will be available exclusively on The Roku Channel, with Funny Or Die and Tango producing, and filming begins in February in Los Angeles. Funny enough, Funny or Die, Yankovic, and Appel produced a fake trailer back in 2010 for <em>Weird: The Al Yankovic Story</em>, and instead of Radcliffe, <em>Breaking Bad</em> star Aaron Paul was set to star as Yankovic.</p>
<div class="ast-oembed-container"><iframe style="width: 697px; height: 393px;" title="Weird: The Al Yankovic Story" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/vcNuiri2dV0?feature=oembed" width="697" height="393" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p>“When my last movie <em>UHF</em> came out in 1989, I made a solemn vow to my fans that I would release a major motion picture every 33 years, like clockwork. I’m very happy to say we’re on schedule,” Yankovic said in a statement. “And I am absolutely thrilled that Daniel Radcliffe will be portraying me in the film. I have no doubt whatsoever that this is the role future generations will remember him for.”</p>
<p>The description for the biopic says it “holds nothing back, exploring every facet of Yankovic’s life, from his meteoric rise to fame with early hits like ‘Eat It’ and ‘Like a Surgeon’ to his torrid celebrity love affairs and famously depraved lifestyle. <em>Weird: The Al Yankovic Story</em> takes audiences on a truly unbelievable journey through Yankovic’s life and career, from gifted child prodigy to the greatest musical legend of all time.”</p>
<p>“When Weird Al first sat me down against my will and told me his life story,” Appel said, “I didn’t believe any of it, but I knew that we had to make a movie about it.”</p>
<p>“There clearly aren’t enough biopic movies about famous musicians and we were excited to shine a light on the incredibly true, unexaggerated story of Weird Al,” Roku’s head of original scripted programming, Colin Davis said. “This is sincerely the ultimate combination of talent, creativity, and friends, coming together to make something genuinely funny and we could not be prouder to call this film a Roku Original.”</p>
<p>Yankovic <a href="https://www.spin.com/2021/12/weird-al-yankovic-tour/">recently announced</a> his upcoming, 133-date The Unfortunate Return Of The Ridiculously Self-Indulgent, Ill-Advised Vanity Tour, which he is opening on April 26.</p>

<p>Williams’ residency at Las Vegas’ Encore Theater was cut short in 2020 due to the <a href="https://www.nme.com/tag/coronavirus">coronavirus</a> pandemic, with his last UK date taking place in London in December 2019 (via <em><a href="https://www.setlist.fm/search?query=robbie+williams" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Setlist.FM</a>)</em>.</p>
<p>During a recent interview, the ‘Rock DJ’ artist said: “Hopefully I’m going to go on tour at the end of this year.

<p>Referring to the ongoing impact of COVID restrictions on the music industry, he explained: “I think every summer we’re going to think it’s over and then every winter it’s going to come back.</p>
<p>“Every time I’ve had a guess that this is going to be over, I’ve been completely wrong.”</p>

<p>Williams continued: “It’s terrifying for many, many reasons but personally and selfishly I haven’t been able to gig, I haven’t been able to do a tour.”</p>
<p>Elsewhere, a source told <em>The Sun</em>‘s ‘Bizarre’ column: “Robbie’s dream of getting back out on the road is something he wants to make a reality.</p>
<p>“This year could be tough, but knowing Robbie, anything is possible.”</p>
<p>Williams will return for a gig at Vale Park Stadium in Stoke-on-Trent in June. He’s due to play another <a href="https://www.nme.com/news/music/robbie-williams-to-play-one-of-his-biggest-ever-shows-next-year-in-munich-3062121">outdoor concert in Munich, Germany</a> this August.

<p><a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/sonic-youth">Sonic Youth</a> have a mountain of unreleased material that they’ve been <a href="https://www.spin.com/2021/11/sonic-youth-texas-live-albums-abortion-rights/">sifting through</a> for years. Their latest archival release is <em>In/Out/In</em>, a collection that focuses on the band’s post-2000 material.</p>
<p>The five-track album features “Basement Contender” and “Machine” from <em>The Eternal </em>sessions, “Social Static” from the 2000 Chris Habib/Spencer Tunick short film of the same name, and “In & Out” and “Out & In,” which both were originally exclusively available on a Three Lobed box set of various artists from 2011 called <em>Not the Spaces You Know, But Between Them.</em></p>
<p>“When you’re in the middle of a tour and all of the musical cylinders (musicians, crew + equipment) are warmed up and firing on 10, and if the room/theater/venue and its acoustics allow, you can sometimes catch magic or maybe a basic track,” Sonic Youth’s Steve Shelley explained in a statement. “This magic/music/inspiration doesn’t always occur when you’d like it to show up (you know, during the show!) -however, it sometimes can be caught in small unspoken moments during soundcheck when you least expect it.”</p>
<p>“‘In & Out’ was caught in such a situation – during soundcheck in Pomona, CA at the Fox Theatre in 2010 – Kim and I were waiting for our bandmates to arrive and our linechecks turned into a jam session turned into recording a basic track,” he continued. “Recorded surreptitiously by long-time SY engineer Aaron Mullan and tucked away for guitar overdubs later in 2010, and then submitted to Cory Rayborn for his Three Lobed multi-artist box set ‘Not The Space You Know, But Between Them.’ The two SY songs that debuted and were exclusively available on that box set are now available in one standalone collection – In/Out/In – plus three (mostly) instrumental Sonic Youth jammers from 2000-2010.”</p>
<p><em>In/Out/In </em>is slated for a March 18 release via Three Lobed and can be pre-ordered <a href="https://threelobed.bandcamp.com/album/in-out-in-2">here</a>. Listen to “In & Out” below.</p>

<p>“And, I was like, ‘I don’t know what you’re talking about.’ She was like, ‘Shut up, just tell me.’ I’m like, ‘I honestly don’t know.’ I kept it going, even with her. It was hilarious. Then, she saw it, and she was like, ‘You’re a jerk.’”</p>
<p><a href="https://www.nme.com/news/film/andrew-garfield-says-it-was-very-fun-to-lie-about-spider-man-no-way-home-3134326">Andrew Garfield recently said it was “very fun” to lie about appearing in the film</a>, calling the experience “rather stressful but also weirdly enjoyable”.</p>

<p>“It was like this massive game of Werewolf that I was playing with journalists and with people guessing, and it was very fun,” he added, referring to a party game about concealing your identity.</p>
<p>“There were moments where I was like, ‘God, I hate lying.’ I don’t like to lie and I’m not a good liar, but I kept framing it as a game. And I kept imagining myself purely as a fan of that character, which is not hard to do.</p>
<p>“I placed myself in that position of, Well, what would I want to know? Would I want to be toyed with? Would I want to be lied to? Would I want to be kept on my toes guessing? Would I want to discover it when I went to the theatre? Would I want to be guessing, guessing, guessing?”</p>

<p>A little month after singer Keith Buckley said he was taking time from the band due to mental health issues and that he felt “<a href="https://metalinjection.net/shocking-revelations/every-time-i-die-frontman-announces-hiatus-from-band-says-he-feels-ostracized-from-bandmates">ostracized</a>” from the group, <a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/every-time-i-die">Every Time I Die</a> announced that they are no more. The band, which formed in 1998, put out their 10th studio album, <em>Radical</em>, last year on Epitaph Records.</p>
<p>After Buckley announced his hiatus, Every Time I Die finished up their 2021 tour without him.</p>
<p>In a statement posted on his social media on Monday afternoon, guitarist Jordan Buckley explained the reason for Every Time I Die’s split.</p>
<p>“Andy, Jordan, Steve and Goose’s last show with Every Time I Die was on Dec 11, 2021,” he began. “While we hoped to come to an agreed upon legal statement that outlined the truth, we were informed today of something planned to be released not mutually agreed upon that consists of inaccuracies and controls a narrative to benefit one.”</p>
<p>Continuing, he said the four members hadn’t spoken with Keith. He blamed it on being “impossible for direct communication with him” and that they’ve been cut off to any and all communication” to him.</p>
<p>Buckley went on to rule out that band continuing in its current form with the Every Time I Die name without Keith.</p>
<p>“Every Time I Die was these 5 members, and we were never budging or accepting any changes,” he continued. “Simply, there is zero truth about the band continuing on with a new singer. Lastly, we wouldn’t be where we are today without every single person that’s backed the band in any & all ways. While we’re extremely disappointed in how this was played out online in front of you, your support and the memories we have because of you all will always be cherished.</p>
<p>Here’s the full statement:</p>

</blockquote>
<p> </p>
<p>After a fan said that the four of them should continue, Buckley responded, “That’s the plan. I hope I never stop getting in a room with these 3 to write rippers.”</p>
<p>So far, Keith Buckley hasn’t issued a statement of his own.</p>

<p>The Detroit Cobras singer Rachel Nagy has died. Her bandmate Greg Cartwright broke the sad news via the band’s <a href="https://www.facebook.com/detroitcobras/posts/10159736779255498">Facebook page</a> last night.</p>
<p>“It is with a heavy heart and great sadness that we announce the loss of our beloved friend and musical colleague, Rachel Lee Nagy,” he wrote. “There are no words to fully articulate our grief as we remember a life cut short, still vital and inspirational to all who knew and loved her. With the Detroit Cobras Rachel Nagy carried the torch of Rock, Soul and R&B to fans all over the world. More than just a performer, she embodied the spirit of the music itself and vaulted it to new heights with her own deeply affecting vocal power. I know that I am not alone when I say that I was inspired by her vitality, her fierce intensity and her vulnerability. Once plans have been finalized by the family we will post more information regarding further details to memorialize Rachel and pay tribute to her life. Until then, please know that if you are as devastated by this news as we are, you are not alone. We are with you in your grief. Rachel is survived by her brother Tony Nagy and her mother Marge Nagy.”</p>
<p>Nagy co-founded the Detroit Cobras in 1994 with guitarist Mary Ramirez and released their debut album, <em>Mink, Rat Or Rabbit</em>, in 1998. In 2001, they released <em>Life, Love And Leaving</em>, and joined the <span class=""><a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/white-stripes">White Stripes</a></span> in the city’s garage-rock revival scene. Both those albums were full of covers from acts like the Shangri-Las, Otis Redding, the Ronettes, the Marvelettes, Irma Thomas, and Ike and Tina Turner.</p>
<div class="ast-oembed-container"><iframe style="width: 698px; height: 524px;" title="THE DETROIT COBRAS " src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/LRlqTNAkj5g?start=44&feature=oembed" width="698" height="524" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p> </p>
<p>After signing to Rough Trade, the Detroit Cobras released the <em>Seven Easy Pieces </em>EP in 2003 and 2004’s <em>Baby, </em>which featured an original song called “Hot Dog (Watch Me Eat).” They released their final album, <em>Tied & True,</em> in 2007. <a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/jack-white">Jack White</a>‘s Third Man Records reissued their first two albums in 2016.</p>
<p>The label also paid tribute to Nagy via Instagram.</p>
<p>“<span class="">In both her voice and personality, Rachel Nagy was the perfect balance of tough badass and absolute sweetheart,” the message begins. “From the earliest White Stripes shows at the Magic Stick in Detroit through the Third Man 10th anniversary show in Nashville, Rachel and the Detroit Cobras have been a consistent inspiring presence in our world for nearly 25 years. We will truly miss the sound of her room-filling laughter, her no bullshit honesty, and her true friendship. Rest in power.”</span></p>

<p>In a new interview with <a href="https://hiphopdx.com/news/id.67209/title.soulja-boy-has-some-advice-for-young-rappers-you-cant-be-in-the-streets-be-a-rapper-at-the-same-time" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>HipHopDX</em> </a>Soulja Boy said that he forgave Ye once he reached out to him, largely due to the principle of him acknowledging he’d done something wrong.</p>
<p>“Kanye, Kanye, Kanye,” Soulja Boy told the publication. “Aw man. Shoutout to Kanye, man. Know what I’m saying? Kanye out there living life. I see he outside now. He moving around, he doing his thing, man. I got nothing but love for Kanye. You know what I’m saying? At least he kept it real. Kanye is the type of artist where he don’t give a fuck.</p>

<p>“He ain’t have to text me and say shit, you know what I’m saying? So even for the fact to him to hit me up and be like, ‘Oh bro, woo, woo, woo.’ I’m like, ‘Man, that just speaks … that speaks volumes.’ Kanye came a long way. I fuck with Kanye. For sure. We good.”</p>
<p>In a since-deleted Instagram post from November 2021, Ye extended an olive branch to Soulja via text message, writing: “Love you bro. I should have told you I wasn’t gonna use the verse.”</p>
<p>Soulja appeared to accept Ye’s apology, replying: “Love you too bro. That’s all I wanted.”</p>

<p>When Roddy Ricch was forced to cancel his <em><a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/saturday-night-live">Saturday Night Live</a> </em>performance after getting exposed to COVID-19, <a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/bleachers">Bleachers</a> were more than happy to jump in and take his spot as musical guest. It was <a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/jack-antonoff">Jack Antonoff</a>‘s band’s first time playing <em>SNL </em>(it was hosted by <em>West Side Story</em>‘s Ariana DeBose), and they made their debut a memorable one.</p>
<p>Bleachers played “How Dare You Want More” and “Chinatown”<strong> </strong>from their third album <em>Take the Sadness Out of Saturday Night</em>, which was released last year. For the first song, Antonoff brought out his father, Rick Antonoff. Bruce Springsteen features on the studio version of “Chinatown,” but did not appear. Additionally, Bleachers were joined by guests Blu DeTiger and Claud.</p>

<p>Bleachers may not be nominated for any Grammys this year; however, Antonoff’s work as a producer has him up for <a href="https://www.spin.com/2021/11/grammy-nominations-2022-kanye-west-gets-surprise-nom-jon-batiste-leads-with-11/">two golden gramophones</a>: Producer, Non-Classical and Album of the Year (Taylor Swift’s <em>Evermore</em>). He was originally listed for Olivia Rodrigo’s <em>Sour</em>, which is also nominated for Album of the Year, but was <a href="https://www.spin.com/2021/12/taylor-swift-jack-antonoff-and-st-vincent-are-no-longer-grammy-nominated-for-olivia-rodrigos-sour/">taken off</a> for not directly contributing to the project.</p>
<p>The 2022 Grammys were supposed to take place on Jan. 31 but have been<a href="https://www.spin.com/2022/01/recording-academy-postpones-the-grammys-indefinitely/"> postponed indefinitely</a> due to the current rise in COVID-19 cases.</p>

<p>According to the group’s <a href="https://www.facebook.com/FiveSatins/posts/335850565213762" target="_blank" rel="noopener">official Facebook page</a>, Parris died after a “brief illness”.</p>
<p>“The Five Satins family is devastated by this loss but appreciative of having shared Fred’s music with thousands of fans and friends,” part of the announcement read. Details on memorial plans were not available, although they are expected to be shared in due course.</p>
<p>Parris wrote and sang the band’s most famous hit, ‘In The Still Of The Night’, which has been covered by <a href="https://www.nme.com/artists/boyz-ii-men">Boyz II Men</a> and <a href="https://www.nme.com/artists/the-beach-boys">The Beach Boys</a>, among others. The doo-wop classic has also featured in films including <em>Dirty Dancing,</em> <em>The Buddy Holly Story</em> and <a href="https://www.nme.com/reviews/the-irishman-review-martin-scorsese-robert-de-niro-2556585"><em>The Irishman</em></a>.</p>
<p>The late singer grew up in New Haven, Connecticut and wrote the lyrics for ‘In The Still Of The Night’ while he was on guard duty at a US Army base near Philadelphia.</p>

<p>He later recorded the song in the basement of a church in 1956 while on leave in his hometown.</p>
<p>The song returned to the Billboard Hot 100 on three separate occasion (in 1956, 1960 and 1961). ‘In The Still Of The Night” is sometimes stylised as ‘In The Still Of The Nite” to avoid confusion with a 1937 Cole Porter song with the same title.</p>
<p>Parris continued to perform throughout the years, fronting groups such as Fred Parris And The Restless Hearts and Black Satin.</p>

<p>The acclaimed new Showtime series follows a group of high school football players stranded in the wilderness in the mid-1990s after a plane crash. It also follows their present-day selves, with many twists and turns along the way.</p>
<p>During last night’s (January 16) finale, viewers were given a big twist as it was confirmed that Lottie (Courtney Eaton) is alive in 2021, and is the one who empties Travis’ (Kevin Alves) bank account.</p>
<p>Her followers also kidnap Natalie in the present day (Juliette Lewis), and in the past we see Lottie emerge as a dark cult leader.</p>

<p>Speaking to <a href="https://ew.com/tv/yellowjackets-season-1-finale-postmortem-lottie-cult-season-2/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Entertainment Weekly</em></a>, series creators Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson teased how season two will bring things back to the show’s opening scene, which sees a girl brutally killed and eaten by a cult.</p>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>“We absolutely will get to that part of this story over the course of the series, I will say that,” Lyle explained.</p>
<p>“That was always intended to be sort of the crux of their time out there and so the question that we wanted to pose was not so much what happens exactly — although the exact nature of what’s happening there is ideally mysterious and poses some questions for the audience that we can eventually answer — but, it was always a question of how they got there.</p>
<p>“So we will ideally answer both: How they got there and what exactly it was we were seeing in that opening scene.”</p>

</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Nickerson added: “We are definitely building back up to that. What we’re seeing will represent a bit of a climax of sorts but not the end. The plan is for the story to continue after that as well. We will be seeing adult Lottie in season 2. Buckle up!”</p>
<p>Showrunner Jonathan Lisco teased that they have been dream casting Lottie’s older self “non-stop”, though remained tight-lipped on which actor they had in mind: “I don’t think we can in the sense that gets to be such a mess when you’re actually then trying to have conversations with a performer.”</p>
<div id="jwplayer-video-dwcBjO2L"></div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Further teasing the themes of the next season, Lyle explained: “We are very much interested in exploring the theme and concept of belief and what that means for us in terms of our worldview — the way that we interact with the world around us, the way that we interact with other people, and forge those relationships.</p>
<p>“That is absolutely something that we will be investigating by means of this growing belief that has started to emerge amongst the girls in the wilderness and what that might mean in the present day.”</p>

<p>A concert shooting in Eugene, OR has left six people hospitalized. The incident occurred in the WOW Hall parking lot at 9:30 PM on Friday while rappers Lil Bean and Zay Bang were performing inside the venue. One of the victims is currently in critical condition and undergoing surgery.</p>
<p>Eugene Police Chief Chris Skinner said in a <a href="https://vimeo.com/666243268?embedded=true&source=vimeo_logo&owner=10272666">press conference</a> that police arrived on the scene less than three minutes after the shooting. “What law enforcement found when they came on scene is what you would exactly expect when six people just got shot. People are just trying to get out of here, their friends are on the ground, they’re trying to help,” he said.</p>
<div class="ast-oembed-container"><iframe style="width: 699px; height: 394px;" title="Chief Chris Skinner News Briefing Wow Hall" src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/666243268?h=c245c7cd95&dnt=1&app_id=122963" width="699" height="394" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p> </p>
<p>“You may have heard that there was a shooting outside the WOW Hall tonight at the ‘Lil Bean + Zay Bang’ concert. There is not much information currently available however we heard gunshots in the back parking lot. The motives are not yet known. We do know that some people were injured, but we do not know the extent of the injuries, and we do not want to speculate,” WOW Hall interim Executive Director Deb Maher and Board Chair Jaci Guerena said in <a class="external-link" href="https://www.wowhall.org/news/jan-14-2022-shooting-outside-wow-hall" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" data-offer-url="https://www.wowhall.org/news/jan-14-2022-shooting-outside-wow-hall" data-event-click="{">a statement</a>. “We at the WOW Hall want to thank all first responders who came so quickly to ensure everyone’s safety and administer first aid. We believe all staff and volunteers are safe and accounted for. This is unprecedented at the WOW Hall. The police are investigating.”</p>
<p>The suspect is still at large and police don’t have much information. “We have a male in a hoodie that was seen running westbound on 8th (Avenue) right after the shooting,” Skinner said. “We think that’s our suspect, but we really don’t have a lot of information.” He also noted that witnesses were not initially cooperative with authorities.</p>
<p>The Eugene Police Department is asking anyone with information on the concert shooting or shooter to call 541-682-5111.</p>

<p><strong>Name </strong>Justin Furstenfeld</p>
<p><strong>Best known for </strong>Frontman of Blue October</p>
<p><strong>Current city </strong>San Marcos, TX</p>
<p><strong>Really want to be in</strong> My dream city would be Prague or New York City. New York to live and work as a musician/poet/actor/playwright. Prague, I would love to own a loft where I can go to unwind and be inspired with romance and architecture.</p>
<p><strong>Excited about</strong> I’m excited about the new songs Blue October is currently working on. We’ll be in the studio in January and February recording this new album. I’m also excited about touring overseas next March and then coming back home to tour with the Goo Goo Dolls next summer.</p>
<p><strong>My record collection</strong> Is packed full of old jazz and classical like Dave Brubeck, Chet Baker and Mendelssohn. I love sampling jazz and classical vinyl to relevant beats while writing new material. I’m also a huge fan of Cigarettes After Sex so I’m drowning in romantic art.</p>
<p><strong>You wouldn’t catch me listening to </strong>Reggae music. I got nothing against it, but it just doesn’t move me.</p>
<p><strong>Preferred format </strong> When I’m home I have a vinyl collection that I love to listen to while having an espresso and writing lyrics. I sit back and just close my eyes and sink into legends from all types of music. From Kanye West to Frank Ocean, P.I.L., Peter Gabriel, Cowboy Junkies, The Smiths, The Cure, opera, Ella Fitzgerald, Nina Simone and Roberta Flack. When I’m on the road I stream Apple Music always.</p>
<p> </p>

<h2><strong><u>5 Albums I Can’t Live Without</u></strong></h2>
<h2><strong>1<br><em>Disintegration</em>, The Cure</strong></h2>
<p> </p>
<p><img src="https://static.spin.com/files/2021/12/Disintigration-The-Cure-300x300.jpg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" height="300" width="300" /></p>
<p>This album opened up a musical world that I never knew could exist. Sadness and love are both expressed in their most vulnerable dark and dreamlike ways. The production is huge and sounds as big as the ocean at night. Robert Smith’s lyrics are some of the most profound and poetic words to ever be written to music. My number one album always.</p>
<p> </p>
<h2><strong>2<br><em>OK Computer</em>, Radiohead</strong></h2>
<p> </p>
<p><img src="https://static.spin.com/files/2021/12/OK-Computer-Radiohead-300x300.jpg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" height="300" width="300" /></p>
<p>Musically, this album showed me how a band could almost abandon their identity as a rock act and transform themselves into literal audio painters. This album changed my life both personally and creatively. The production is out of this world boundless. Every song was written like it would be hung in a gallery. Timeless songs and instrumentation.</p>
<h2><strong>3<br><em>Us</em>, Peter Gabriel</strong></h2>
<p> </p>
<p><img src="https://static.spin.com/files/2021/12/Us-Peter-Gabriel-300x300.jpg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" height="300" width="300" /></p>
<p>Every Peter Gabriel album is genius, but this one start to finish is a masterpiece. Peter has a way of describing heartbreak and grief like no other.</p>
<p> </p>
<h2><strong>4<br><em>Year After</em> <em>Year</em>,</strong></h2>
<p> </p>
<p><img src="https://static.spin.com/files/2022/01/Year-After-Year-Idaho-2-300x300.jpg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" height="300" width="300" /></p>
<p>This band is the most underrated band in the world. This album is the soundscape of everything that is dark nostalgia. Desperation floating is what this album feels like. The guitar work is like no other player. Soaring feedback creating comet-like waves that just drench your soul with heartache and solitude.</p>
<h2><strong>5<br><em>Strange Ways Here We Come</em>, The Smiths</strong></h2>
<p> </p>
<p><img src="https://static.spin.com/files/2021/12/Strangeways-Here-We-Come-The-Smiths-297x300.jpg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" height="300" width="297" /><br>The absolute best work from this legendary band. There is no one better than Morrissey when it comes to telling a story. Johnny Marr and Morrissey are the most avant garde pair of genius writers. I found this album when I was ten and never stopped listening. This album and band taught me the more honest and brutal you are with your music and words the more impact it has on the heart and soul.</p>

<p>The singer shared a statement on Twitter yesterday (January 13) following Jamie Lynn’s appearance on <em>Good Morning America</em>, where she spoke about Britney’s controversial conservatorship, <a href="https://www.nme.com/news/music/britney-spears-conservatorship-has-been-terminated-following-court-hearing-3094412">which was terminated last year</a>.</p>

</ul>
<p>In the interview, Jamie Lynn was asked about a section from her forthcoming memoir <em>Things I Should Have Said </em>where she describes Britney’s behaviour before her conservatorship as “erratic,” “paranoid” and “spiralling.”</p>
<p>“I can’t really speak to anyone else’s state of mind, I don’t think that’s fair,” she said when asked for her opinion on Britney’s “state of mind, currently”. “But I’m allowed to say how I felt in those [years], because that matters. It matters that I was in pain.”</p>
<p>Jamie Lynn later added in the interview, which you can watch below, that she’s “only ever loved and supported” Britney, saying “I don’t know why we’re in this position right now” in regards to their current rift.</p>

<p>Britney issued her response, which revealed that she watched her younger sister’s interview while suffering from a fever, on Twitter yesterday, writing: “It was actually kind of nice having a fever so high cause I had to surrender to not caring. I just couldn’t give a fuck…</p>
<p>“The two things that did bother me [were] that my sister said how my behaviour was out of control. She was never around me much 15 years ago at that time. So why are they even talking about that unless she wants to sell a book at my expense??? REALLY ???”</p>
<p>Britney also claimed in her statement that, in contrast to her own singing career, her sister has “never had to work for anything” and that “everything was always given to her”.</p>
<p>Britney later added: “My family ruined my dreams 100 billion per cent and try to make me look like the crazy one while I have a 104 degree fever, not being able to move in my bed. My family loves to pull me down and hurt me always so I am disgusted with them.”</p>

<p> </p>
<p>In response to Britney’s statement, Jamie Lynn <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CYsxPn-r1zf/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">shared a post on Instagram</a> overnight in which she told her sister that she was “always here” for her.</p>
<p>“It’s become exhausting when conversations, and texts we have in private, don’t match what you post on social media,” Jamie Lynn wrote, addressing Britney directly. “I know you’re going through a lot and I never want to diminish that, but I also can’t diminish myself.”</p>
<p>She added that “after a lifetime of staying silent”, she “may have to set the record straight myself in order to protect mine and my family’s wellbeing”.</p>
<p>Jamie Lynn also said that her memoir is “not about” Britney: “I can’t help that I was born a Spears too, and that some of my experiences involve my sister.</p>
<p>“There are no sides, and I don’t want drama,” Jamie-Lynn concluded. “But I’m speaking my truth to heal my traumas, so I can close this chapter and move forward, and I wish my sister could do the same.</p>

<p> <em>Fear of the Dawn</em> on April 8 and <em>Entering Heaven Alive</em> on July 22 — and today brings the release of “Love Is Selfish,” the first single from the latter project. White directed the video for the track.</p>
<p>“Love Is Selfish” is a surprisingly mellow change-of-pace for White, especially on the heels of the fuzzed-out “Taking Me Back,” the lead single from <em>Fear of the Dawn</em>. The artist largely accompanies himself on acoustic guitar here; in the video, he’s alternately performing alone on stage at an empty American Legion Hall or sitting at the bar nursing a can of Narragansett beer. Lyrics like “I’ve got a sailboat with her name painted on it / but I don’t know how to sail” underscore the loneliness at the heart of the song.</p>

<p>In his first headlining shows in four years, White will kick off his Supply Chain Issues tour with two <em>Fear of the Dawn</em> release celebrations on April 8-9 at Detroit’s Masonic Temple Theatre. The trek will continue through Aug. 29 in Kansas City, Mo.</p>
<p>Five special vinyl variants of Fear Of The Dawn have also been announced: a midnight blue vinyl version with a screen-printed jacket available to Third Man Records Vault Members in the <a href="http://thirdman.world/fotd-vault">Vault Novelties store</a>, astronomical blue vinyl at select <a href="https://orcd.co/fearofthedawnindie">independent record stores</a>, moon glow white vinyl at Target and a split moon glow white and astronomical blue LP with an 11”x11” screen printed poster and Third Man Records compilation CD at <a href="https://orcd.co/fearofthedawnrt">Rough Trade Records</a>. An exclusive slip mat is available with the album through Urban Outfitters.</p>

<p>Over 40 figures from the world of film have since released a joint statement, organised by <a href="https://artistsforpalestine.org.uk/category/all/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Artists For Palestine UK</a>, to endorse Watson’s original post. Figures include directors Jim Jarmusch, Asif Kapadia, Ken Loach, composer <a href="https://www.nme.com/artists/brian-eno" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Brian Eno</a>, along with actors Steve Coogan, Charles Dance, Stephen Dillane, Maxine Peake, Gael Garcia Bernal, Ralf Little, and Miriam Margolyes.</p>
<p>The statement reads: “We join Emma Watson in support of the simple statement that ‘solidarity is a verb’, including meaningful solidarity with Palestinians struggling for their human rights under international law. We oppose justice anywhere in the world and stand with all those seeking an end to oppression.</p>
<p>“We stand against ongoing Israeli attempts to forcibly displace Palestinian families from their homes in the East Jerusalem neighborhoods of Sheikh Jarrah, Silwan and elsewhere in the occupied Palestinian territory.</p>
<p>“We recognise the underlying power imbalance between Israel, the occupying power, and the Palestinians, the people under a system of military occupation and apartheid.”</p>
<p>They added: “We condemn all forms of racism, including antisemitism and Islamophobia. Opposition to a political system or policy is distinct from bigotry, hatred and discrimination targeting any group of humans based on their identity. We see the former as legitimate and necessary form of political and ethical expression and the latter as racism – pure and simple.”</p>

<p>Other supporters include actors Julie Christie, Liam Cunningham, Art Malik, Dominic Rains and Michael Malarkey.</p>

<p>Earthling, including Elton John on the track “Picture” and Stevie Wonder, Ringo Starr and Vedder’s own father, the late Edward Severson Jr., on as-yet-unspecified songs. As tipped <a href="https://www.spin.com/2022/01/eddie-vedder-earthling-track-list/">here</a> Tuesday, Vedder has also released the third single from the project, “Brother the Cloud,” which he co-wrote with album producer Andrew Watt as well as multi-instrumentalist Josh Klinghoffer and Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith.</p>
<div class="ast-oembed-container"><iframe style="width: 699px; height: 394px;" title="Eddie Vedder - Brother the Cloud (Official Lyric Video)" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/5bMAg3juSPY?feature=oembed" width="699" height="394" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p>A multi-faceted rock track with a powerful finish, “Brother the Cloud” is already generating discussion as to the identity of its subject. Speculation centers around the song being about Vedder’s brother Chris, who died in an accident in 2016, as well as late Soundgarden vocalist Chris Cornell, who died by suicide in May 2017. Vedder broke his silence about both incidents during a November 2020 interview with Howard Stern, when he admitted he was still struggling to process the losses.</p>
<p>“There’s no previous reference for this level of pain / I can’t feign indifference, can’t look away,” Vedder sings. “The years they go by / The hurt I still hide / If I look okay, it’s just the outside.” The song builds to a gripping conclusion, with Vedder intoning, “But should you ever leave this earth before me / I doubt this highly / Do for me, what I’d do for you / Put your arms round my brother, my friend / Say for me … for me … fuck you.”</p>
<p><em>Earthling</em> will be released on February 11 by Seattle Surf/Republic and can be pre-ordered here. John’s contribution on “Picture” was preceded by Vedder’s guest appearance on the track “E-Ticket” from John’s October 2021 album <em>The Lockdown Sessions</em>, which was also produced by Watt.</p>
<p>Vedder is scheduled to begin a short North American tour in support of Earthling on February 3 in New York, backed by his new solo band the Earthlings, which features Watt, Klinghoffer, Smith, multi-instrumentalist Glen Hansard and bassist Chris Chaney.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.nme.com/news/music/judge-to-receive-cardi-bs-medical-records-in-highly-offensive-std-libel-lawsuit-3104792">The rapper brought a libel case against blogger Tasha K</a> – real name Latasha Kebe – for uploading videos about her having herpes and HPV in 2018 and early 2019.</p>
<p>Cardi claims that Kebe ran a “malicious campaign” to taint her reputation, making what the star calls “highly offensive” claims that she cheated on her husband <a href="https://www.nme.com/artists/offset">Offset</a>, had herpes and HPV, worked as a prostitute and used cocaine.</p>
<p>Speaking during the fourth day of the trial yesterday (January 13), the New York artist said that “I felt extremely suicidal” (via <a href="https://www.billboard.com/business/legal/cardi-b-testifies-libel-trial-she-felt-suicidal-1235018728/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Billboard</em></a>).</p>
<p>Cardi went on to say that she felt “helpless” as Kebe continued to broadcast alleged lies to her almost-1million YouTube followers. Cardi said she had also developed fatigue, anxiety, weight loss and migraines as a result.</p>
<p>“Only an evil person could do that shit,” she told the court.</p>
<p>Elsewhere in her testimony, Cardi told jurors that said she had never felt suicidal before, struggled to be intimate with her husband and eventually decided to see a therapist due to the distress caused.</p>
<figure id="attachment_3070710" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 2000px;" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-3070710"><img src="https://www.nme.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/cardi-pfw-getty.jpg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="Cardi B" height="444" width="699" /></figure>
<p>When questioned by Cardi B’s attorneys earlier in the trial, Kebe reportedly told jurors that she knowingly published lies about the rapper in order to generate income for her business (via <a href="https://www.law360.com/articles/1455085/lying-about-cardi-b-is-my-business-youtuber-tells-ga-jury" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Law360</em></a>).</p>
<p>The case cited one online post that referred to Cardi B as “Herpes B”. Per <em>Billboard</em>‘s report, Cardi “flatly denied” that she has herpes.</p>
<p>She also recounted a time she shared an image of herself kissing her daughter Kulture on the lips. Cardi said this led to some fans expressing their concern in the comments section due to the herpes rumour.</p>
<p>The trial has been adjourned until next Tuesday (January 18).</p>
<p>Speaking previously to <a href="https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/cardi-b-std-libel-lawsuit-blogger-1262690/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Rolling Stone</em></a>, Cardi’s lawyer said: “My client does not have HPV and herpes. Two of the defamatory statements at issue are the vile, false, and highly offensive statements by the defendant that my client has herpes and HPV, and we provided these [STD testing] records 14 months ago in support of my client’s claims.”</p>
<p>Cardi’s lawsuit added: “None of the aforementioned statements about plaintiff are true. Plaintiff was never a prostitute or a user of cocaine. Plaintiff has never, and does not now, have herpes, nor has she had herpes outbreaks on her mouth.”</p>

<p>It’s been a long time since <a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/muse">Muse</a> released a proper new song, over four years to be exact. But that all changed today. The British prog veterans returned with “Won’t Stand Down,” a new anthemic track where singer Matt Bellamy sings about taking the power back.</p>
<p>“’Won’t Stand Down’ is a song about standing your ground against bullies, whether that be on the playground, at work or anywhere,” Bellamy said of the song in a statement. “Protecting yourself from coercion and sociopathic manipulation and to face adversity with strength, confidence and aggression.”</p>
<p>The song was produced by Muse and mixed by Dan Lancaster. The band also released a theatrical music video to accompany “Won’t Stand Down.”</p>

<p>Their last album, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Simulation-Theory-Muse/dp/B07FQ6GTK5"><em>Simulation Theory</em></a>, was released in 2018. It was their eighth album overall.</p>

<p>of speculation, this year’s <a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/coachella-2022">Coachella</a> lineup has finally arrived. Over the past few weeks, information trickled out that Billie Eilish and Kanye West (or Ye) would headline. They’re replacing Travis Scott (for somewhat obvious reasons) and Rage Against the Machine, respectively. Harry Styles is the third headliner, which <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/concerts/coachella-2022-lineup-harry-styles-kanye-billie-eilish-1235016428"><em>Billboard</em></a> reported on Wednesday morning.</p>
<p>Swedish House Mafia, which was <a href="https://www.spin.com/2021/10/swedish-house-mafia-to-play-coachella-2022/">confirmed</a> last year, are also billed in a top slot. Megan Thee Stallion, Doja Cat, Phoebe Bridgers, King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard, Flume, Run the Jewels, Vince Staples and Fatboy Slim also feature.</p>
<p>Coachella’s lineup is usually announced the first week of January. But, with the moving target that is COVID and the lineup availabilities, the lineup took place today.</p>
<p>If you’re still longing for 2020’s bill, well, you’ll have to wait until next year for Frank Ocean to perform. Last summer, it was <a href="https://www.spin.com/2021/08/rage-against-the-machine-travis-scott-to-headline-coachella-2022-frank-ocean-bumped-to-2023/">announced</a> that Ocean will headline in 2023. Coincidentally, that same interview with Goldenvoice boss Paul Tollett said that Scott and Rage would headline this year. How things have changed.</p>
<p>As usual, Coachella will take place during the second and third weekends of April at the Empire Polo Fields in Indio, California.</p>

Directed by Joe Wright and fronted by <a href="https://www.nme.com/series/game-of-thrones" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Game of Thrones</em></a> actor Peter Dinklage, this version of the 19th-century play is a curiously old-fashioned musical to arrive in 2022. And, though Dinklage is superb in the role, the whole thing feels strangely unnecessary.</p>
<p>Cleaving pretty close to the original, <em>Cyrano</em> is the story of how man of words Cyrano de Bergerac helps fellow soldier Christian woo Roxanne, the woman they both love, by writing love letters for him. In scenes that are sometimes comic but more often tragic, the pretence becomes difficult to maintain; Christian (Kelvin Harrison Jr.) finds himself increasingly frustrated at his ineloquent manner, and Cyrano falls more and more deeply for Roxanne (Haley Bennett), a woman who doesn’t realise he loves her.</p>
<p>The film’s origins in theatre are evident, and Wright embraces them. Dinklage played the role in New York when his wife Erica Schmidt first wrote the play (she also wrote the screenplay), and perhaps not enough care has been taken to ensure that the film feels like a distinct entity. Movie musicals can have this problem, especially if the writer doesn’t change. It isn’t easy to solve. Though the <a href="https://www.nme.com/reviews/film-reviews/cats-review-2588816" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Cats</em></a> film had countless other problems – the line “<em>so first your memory I’ll jog/and say: ‘a cat is not a dog’</em>“, for example – one of its flaws was that it didn’t feel like a film. What it felt like, and what <em>Cyrano</em> feels like, is the recording of a stage show.</p>
<figure id="attachment_3137035" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 2000px;" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-3137035"><img src="https://www.nme.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/Cyrano_Bennett_Harrison_Jr.jpg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="Cyrano" height="444" width="699" /></figure>
<p>In the case of a film like <em>Mamma Mia</em>, this problem is surmountable with enough tongue in enough cheek. <em>Cyrano</em>, however, is played straight, and feels bereft of the wink that Dinklage brought to the inescapable Tyrion Lannister. Dinklage’s casting is interesting in that it seems to invite a parallel between Cyrano de Bergerac’s off-putting nose and Dinklage’s height. He is not a traditional romantic lead, and has to escape the ‘freak’ label that has convinced him he is unworthy of Roxanne’s love.</p>
<p>But the actor’s casting is interesting for another reason. He basically doesn’t sing. While the other actors seem to have musical training or experience, Dinklage chooses to deliver his songs in something close to his speaking voice. His star power would have helped green-light the film but he is oddly out of place here. His character’s vocal problems aren’t there for any comic purpose, Dinklage seems to have simply decided he can’t reach the high notes.</p>
<p>This doesn’t mean he isn’t pleasant to listen to. And the film’s flaws don’t prevent it from boasting a stirring soundtrack – written by <a href="https://www.nme.com/artists/the-national" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The National</a> brothers Bryce and Aaron Dessner, with lyrical help from frontman Matt Berninger and Carin Besser. ‘Wherever I Fall’, although it is almost comically out of place, is moving. Go and find it on Spotify. When its indulgent but spine-tingling six minutes are over, <em>Cyrano</em> returns to being even more of a confusing mix because of its presence. It’s a well-intentioned film with some good songs which, despite having more than two hours to come together, doesn’t quite do so.</p>

<p>died Wednesday after a battle with cancer. She was 78.</p>
<p>“Our beloved earth angel, Ronnie, peacefully left this world today after a brief battle with cancer,” the family said in a <a href="https://www.ronniespector.com/">statement posted on her website</a>. “Ronnie lived her life with a twinkle in her eye, a spunky attitude, a wicked sense of humor, and a smile on her face. She was filled with love and gratitude.”</p>
<p>Born on August 10, 1943 in Brooklyn as Veronica Greenfield, Spector formed The Ronettes in 1957 with her older sister Estelle Bennett and cousin Nedra Talley. After initially signing with Colpix Records, the group joined with Phil Spector, who signed them to his Philles Records. They had instant success with smash hits like “Be My Baby,” “Baby, I Love You,” “The Best Part of Breakin’ Up,” “Do I Love You?” and “Walking in the Rain.” She would go on to marry Spector in 1968 following an affair that began when they started working together.</p>
<p>The Spectors’ relationship was marred by years of psychological and physical abuse inflicted by Phil on to Ronnie. In 1972, Spector detailed that she fled their Los Angeles-area mansion out of fear for her life, which she described the abuse in her 1990 memoir <em>Be My Baby</em>. They would divorce in 1974.</p>
<p>She’s been cited as a major inspiration for a number of artists. Spector has appeared songs by Southside Johnny, The Raveonettes, Patti Smith, Keith Richards, and most famously, Eddie Money’s 1986 hit, “Take Me Home Tonight.” Her final solo album was released in 2016.</p>
<p>Spector was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2007 as a member of the Ronettes. In 2020, it was announced that Zendaya would be portraying in her an upcoming biopic based on <em>Be My Baby.</em></p>

<p>“Oh My God.” Directed by Sam Brown, who directed her 2019 video for “Rolling In The Deep,” the video captures the raw vindication of the lyrics. “I know that it’s wrong,” the singer coos, “But I want to have fun.”</p>
<p align="justify">Speaking of Adele’s breakthrough hit, “Rolling In The Deep,” its track record of five weeks as a No. 1 U.S. hit was just bested by her recent song, “Easy On Me,” which is spending its sixth week in the top spot. The strength of these singles has made<em> 30</em> the fast-selling album of 2021.</p>
<p align="justify">Adele will begin her previously announced Las Vegas residency, <em>Weekends With Adele</em>. The first show is on January 21 at the Colosseum of Caesars Palace Hotel.</p>

You can grab <a href="https://www.ticketmaster.com/jimmy-eat-world-tickets/artist/779154">pre-order tickets</a> now.</p>
<p>The tour will take place in the midwest and south. For Dashboard Confessional, the timing of the tour couldn’t be better. Chris Carrabba is conveniently releasing a new album, <em>All The Truth That I Can Tell</em>, on February 25. Last year, Jimmy Eat World celebrated the 20th anniversary of their breakthrough album <em>Bleed American</em>. We spoke with singer Jim Adkins about the importance of that album on the band’s career, which you can read <a href="https://www.spin.com/2021/07/jimmy-eat-world-bleed-american-jim-adkins-interview-20th-anniversary/">here</a>.</p>

<p>The track sees Stromae candidly sing: “<em>Sometimes I’ve had suicidal thoughts and I’m not proud of it / </em><em>Sometimes you feel it’d be the only way to silence them</em>.</p>
<p>“<em>All these thoughts putting me through hell</em>.”</p>
<p>The official video for Stromae’s ‘L’enfer’ is set to arrive this evening.</p>

<p>The rollout has felt like forever (the first single “Working for the Knife” was released in October), but every song has been worth it. The latest one, “Love Me More,” which was released today, joins that club.</p>
<p>The song is an upbeat, new wave-infused that really takes off. Yet at the same time, the song has the same wrenching lyrics that’s made Mitski a favorite in the first place.</p>
<div class="ast-oembed-container"><iframe style="width: 697px; height: 393px;" title="Mitski - Love Me More (Official Video)" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/P4J3Z9xgjWQ?feature=oembed" width="697" height="393" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p>“As ‘Love Me More’ was written pre-pandemic, lyrics like ‘If I keep myself at home’ had different meanings than what they would now, but I kept them on the album because I found that some of the sentiments not only remained the same, but were accentuated by the lockdown,” she sad in a statement.</p>
<p>“‘Love Me More’ went through the most iterations out of all the songs on the album. It’s been too fast, too slow, and at some point, it was even an old style country song. Finally, I think because we had watched The Exorcist, we thought of Mike Oldfield’s ‘Tubular Bells’ and experimented with floating an ostinato over the chorus. As we steadily evolved the ostinato to fit over the chord progressions, we began to hear how the track was meant to sound.”</p>
<p>In addition to “Love Me More” and “Working for the Knife,” Mitski has released “The Only Heartbreaker” and “Heat Lightning” from <em>Laurel Hell</em>. The <a href="https://mitski.deadoc.co/laurel-hell">album</a> is out on February 4 through Dead Oceans.</p>
<p>If you’re trying to see Mitski live, it’s going to be a challenge as most dates are sold out.</p>

<p>In February 2021, a first documentary about Spears’ conservatorship – <a href="https://www.nme.com/reviews/tv-reviews/framing-britney-spears-review-2881634"><em>Framing Britney Spears</em></a> – aired on FX and Hulu in the United States. After its premiere, Britney criticised the film, saying: “I didn’t watch the documentary but from what I did see of it I was embarrassed by the light they put me in. I cried for two weeks and well … I still cry sometimes !!!!”</p>
<p>She also wasn’t a fan of its follow-up, September’s <a href="https://www.nme.com/reviews/tv-reviews/controlling-britney-spears-review-3056900" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Controlling Britney Spears</em></a>, of which she said: “It’s really crazy guys … I watched a little bit of the last documentary and I hate to inform you but a lot of what you heard is not true !!! I really try to disassociate myself from the drama.”</p>
<p>Another documentary, <em>Britney vs Spears</em>, <a href="https://www.nme.com/news/music/netflix-britney-vs-spears-trailer-release-date-watch-3052500" target="_blank" rel="noopener">launched on Netflix in September</a>. The film has also come under fire and received negative reviews, with <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2021/sep/28/britney-vs-spears-review-netflix-doc-is-schlocky-trashy-and-deeply-uncomfortable" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>The Guardian</em></a> labelling it “schlocky, trashy and deeply uncomfortable”.</p>

<ul class="post-content-read-more">

</ul>
<p>Martin was appearing on <em>The Kelly Clarkson Show</em> and discussing his favourite cover versions that Coldplay have performed on stage over the years.</p>
<p>The frontman then spoke of his pride of having the 1985 film’s star Michael J. Fox joining Coldplay on stage at the MetLife Stadium in New York in 2016 to perform songs from the film.</p>
<p>“My No. 1, probably, is Michael J. Fox came and played two of the songs from <em>Back to the Future</em> with us. … That was really wonderful,” he told <a href="https://www.nme.com/artists/kelly-clarkson">Clarkson</a>. “Him coming to play ‘Johnny B. Goode’ and stuff, that was wonderful.”</p>
<p>Discussing Fox’s performance of <a href="https://www.nme.com/artists/chuck-berry">Chuck Berry</a>‘s ‘Johnny B. Goode’ in <em>Back To The Future</em>, Martin added: “That’s what made me want to be in a band, you know? That scene, yeah.</p>
<p>“I grew up in real farmland of England, before the internet. So any music on TV … The first thing I ever recorded was, there was a show called <em>The A-Team</em>. And I had a cassette recorder and held it against the TV to record the theme tune.”</p>

<p>Elsewhere, Martin has said that <a href="https://www.nme.com/news/music/chris-martin-says-coldplay-will-stop-making-music-in-2025-3125014">Coldplay will stop writing new music as a band in 2025</a>. “Well I know I can tell you: our last proper record will come out in 2025 and after that I think we will only tour,” Martin told BBC Radio 2 presenter Jo Whiley last month. “Maybe we’ll do some collaborative things but the Coldplay catalogue, as it were, finishes then.”</p>
<p>The band released their ninth studio album, <a href="https://www.nme.com/reviews/album/coldplay-music-of-the-spheres-review-3070711">‘Music Of The Spheres’</a>, earlier this year. <a href="https://www.nme.com/big-reads/coldplay-cover-interview-2021-music-of-the-spheres-3070999" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Speaking to <em>NME</em> in October</a>, Martin said: “We’re going to make 12 albums. Because it’s a lot to pour everything into making them. I love it and it’s amazing, but it’s very intense too.</p>
<p>“I feel like because I know that challenge is finite, making this music doesn’t feel difficult, it feels like, ‘This is what we’re supposed to be doing’.”</p>
<p>He added: “I don’t think that’s what we’ll do. I know that’s what we’ll do in terms of studio albums.”</p>
<div id="jwplayer-video-9c1IN4UF"></div>
<p>The band are set to head out on a pioneering eco-friendly tour this year, with Martin recently admitting that <a href="https://www.nme.com/news/music/coldplays-chris-martin-says-theres-still-a-long-way-to-go-in-sorting-out-eco-friendly-touring-3113839">there’s still “quite a long way to go”</a> when it comes to finding a completely eco-friendly way to tour.</p>
<p>In October, the band announced that they were going to make their 2022 world stadium tour <a href="https://www.nme.com/news/music/coldplay-announce-details-of-sustainable-2022-world-stadium-tour-dates-tickets-3070629">as ecologically friendly as possible</a>.

<p>The Weeknd released a new video for “Gasoline,” the second track off his most recent album, <em>Dawn FM</em>.</p>
<div class="ast-oembed-container"><iframe style="width: 699px; height: 394px;" title="The Weeknd - Gasoline (Official Music Video)" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/iOa7uE23qc4?feature=oembed" width="699" height="394" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p> </p>
<p>The Weeknd only released <a href="https://www.spin.com/2022/01/the-weeknd-dawn-fm-album-review/"><em>Dawn FM</em></a> a few days ago on January 7, and the “Gasoline” video is the second of a song off the new album. A video for “<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VafTMsrnSTU">Sacrifice,</a>” the fifth song on the record, <a href="https://www.spin.com/2022/01/the-weeknd-sacrifice-video/">premiered</a> the day of <em>Dawn</em>‘s release. Matilda Finn directed the eccentric “Gasoline” video, which features The Weeknd portraying his character off the cover of <em>Dawn</em>—a really old version of himself. Just like his other videos, things take a dark turn here.</p>
<p>Interestingly, in a tweet yesterday, the artist also known as Abel Tesfaye hinted that <em>Dawn FM</em> could be part of a trilogy.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">

<p> </p>
<p><em>Dawn FM </em>is the Grammy-winning musician’s fifth studio album, and it features a string of notable collaborators including Oneohtrix Point Never, Quincy Jones, Tyler, the Creator, Lil Wayne, and Jim Carrey. In <em>SPIN</em>‘s <a href="https://www.spin.com/2022/01/the-weeknd-dawn-fm-album-review/">review</a>, Bobby Olivier said “<em>Dawn FM</em> is his finest work since <em>Beauty Behind the Madness</em> (2015), thematically hinging on regret and shedding grudges.”</p>
<p>The Weeknd is set to embark this summer on a stadium tour, supporting both <em>After Hours </em>and <em>Dawn FM. </em>Prior to <em>Dawn</em>‘s release, the Canadian singer-songwriter teamed up with Swedish House Mafia for their new collaborative track, “<a href="https://www.spin.com/2021/10/swedish-house-mafia-and-the-weeknd-join-forces-on-new-song-moth-to-a-flame/">Moth to a Flame</a>,” and even released a video with Post Malone for “One Right Now.”</p>

<p>Two suspects are in police custody in connection with the murder of Memphis rapper <a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/young-dolph">Young Dolph</a>. According to <a href="https://www.wreg.com/news/local/young-dolph/justin-johnson-captured-by-u-s-marshals/">WREG</a> in Memphis, 23-year-old Justin Johnson (who raps under the name Straight Drop) was apprehended in Indiana on Tuesday by U.S. Marshals. Previously, Marshals offered a $15,000 reward leading to his capture. Last month, 32-year-old Cornelious Smith was arrested on Dec. 9 in Mississippi on an auto-theft warrant involving the Mercedes Benz that was used as a getaway in Young Dolph’s murder. The Mercedes was reported stolen on November 10, a week prior to the murder.</p>

<p>The film stars Zoë Kravitz as an agoraphobic tech worker in Seattle who discovers evidence of a violent crime while reviewing a data stream – only to be met with resistance when she tries to report her findings to her company.</p>
<p><em>KIMI</em> also stars Byron Bowers, Jaime Camil, Erika Christensen, Derek DelGaudio, Robin Givens, Charles Halford and Rita Wilson. You can watch the trailer below.</p>

<p>The film is set to be released on February 10, 2022 on <a href="https://www.nme.com/brands/hbo-max" target="_blank" rel="noopener">HBO Max</a> in the US. A UK release date is yet to be announced.</p>
<p><em>KIMI</em> is directed by Soderbergh from a script written by David Koepp, who also served as a producer alongside Michael Polaire.</p>
<p>Soderbergh’s previous film, <em>No Sudden Move</em>, was also released exclusively on HBO Max last year. The American period crime thriller starred Don Cheadle, Benicio Del Toro, David Harbour, Jon Hamm, Brendan Fraser, Kieran Culkin and Ray Liotta.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.nme.com/news/film/don-cheadle-hints-steven-soderbergh-working-new-oceans-movie-2981260">Cheadle hinted last year that Soderbergh is working on a new <em>Ocean’s</em> movie</a>. Speaking to <a href="https://ew.com/movies/new-oceans-movie-don-cheadle-steven-soderbergh/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Entertainment Weekly</em></a>, he said: “We were talking about it [after <em>Ocean’s Thirteen</em>], and then Bernie [Mac] passed, and very quickly we were like, ‘No, we don’t want to do it.’</p>
<div id="jwplayer-video-6OWvlijs"></div>
<p>“But I just did a movie with Steven and he said, ‘I think there may be a way to do it again. I’m thinking about it.’ And it didn’t go much further than that. But I don’t know; I don’t know who would be in it. I imagine the main group of us would be in. It would be interesting to see.”</p>
<p>Soderbergh directed the original film <em>Ocean’s Eleven</em> in 2001 before he released two sequels: <em>Ocean’s Twelve</em> in 2004 and <em>Ocean’s Thirteen</em> in 2007. In 2018 an all-female spin-off <em>Ocean’s Eight</em> was released, which was produced by Soderbergh.</p>

<p>Last month, <a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/foo-fighters">Foo Fighters</a> announced they were releasing a long-in-the-works horror-comedy titled <a href="https://www.spin.com/2021/11/foo-fighters-to-star-in-horror-comedy-studio-666/"><em>Studio 666</em></a>. Now, you can see what Dave Grohl and company have in store for the big screen.</p>
<p>In the first <em>Studio 666 </em>trailer, the band hunker down in a San Fernando Valley house to record a new album (that would eventually (?) in this fictitious world become <em>Medicine at Midnight</em>). Of course, hijinx ensue from there. Grohl battles supernatural forces (and is even possessed) that threaten to derail the whole process and could sink the band as well.</p>
<div class="ast-oembed-container"><iframe style="width: 695px; height: 392px;" title="Studio 666 (Official Trailer)" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/UEDkqOBhPis?feature=oembed" width="695" height="392" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p><em>Studio 666 </em>stars the Foo Fighters (Grohl, Taylor Hawkins, Pat Smear, Chris Shiflett, Nate Mendel and Rami Jaffee) as well as Whitney Cummings, Leslie Grossman, Will Forte, Jenna Ortega and Jeff Garlin. <em>Studio 666</em> is directed by BJ McDonnell.</p>
<p>Last month, the group shared a <a href="https://www.spin.com/2021/12/foo-fighters-studio-666-film-trailer/">teaser</a> that gave a glimpse of what was to come. This is a more expansive view of that.</p>
<p>“After decades of ridiculous music videos and numerous music documentaries under our collective belts, it was finally time to take it to the next level…,” Grohl said in a statement at the time. “Like most things Foo, Studio 666 began with a far fetched idea that blossomed into something bigger than we ever imagined possible.”</p>
<p>The trailer debuted on <a href="https://ew.com/movies/studio-666-foo-fighters-trailer/">EW</a>.</p>
<p>The film will be released on February 25 in theaters.</p>

</ul>
<p>The rapper made the comments while picking up new custom pieces at the Atlanta-based jewellery store Icebox, which released a clip from his visit.</p>
<p>“My new album is a non-rap album,” he said in footage captured at the store. Yachty added that it was the first time he’d publicly addressed the project: “It’s alternative, it’s sick.”</p>
<p>When asked who or what inspired him to go in a different musical direction, he answered: “I’ve always wanted to [make an alternative album] but now I’ve met all these amazing musicians and producers” [quotes transcribed by <a href="https://www.complex.com/music/lil-yachty-next-album-non-rap-alternative" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Complex</em></a>].</p>

<p>He continued: “It’s like a psychedelic alternative project. It’s different. It’s all live instrumentation…I’ve changed my dynamic…I’m creating music a whole lot differently.”</p>
<p>Yachty commissioned the jewellery makers to produce his new Concrete Boys and Working Man pieces, the latter of which is from his Concrete Boys company logo.</p>
<p>Lil Yachty last released an album in 2020, ‘<a href="https://www.nme.com/news/music/lil-yachty-releases-deluxe-version-of-latest-album-lil-boat-3-2827111">Lil Boat 3</a>‘, which had guest spots from <a href="https://www.nme.com/artists/drake">Drake</a>, <a href="https://www.nme.com/artists/tyler-the-creator">Tyler, the Creator</a>, <a href="https://www.nme.com/artists/aap-rocky">A$AP Rocky</a>, <a href="https://www.nme.com/artists/future">Future</a>, <a href="https://www.nme.com/artists/young-thug">Young Thug</a>, <a href="https://www.nme.com/artists/tierra-whack">Tierra Whack</a>, <a href="https://www.nme.com/artists/lil-durk">Lil Durk</a> and others.

<p>In other recent news, the rapper stars alongside <a href="https://www.nme.com/artists/rosalia">Rosalía </a>and <a href="https://www.nme.com/artists/vampire-weekend">Vampire Weekend</a>‘s Ezra Koenig <a href="https://www.nme.com/news/tv/lil-yachty-rosalia-ezra-koenig-hbo-chillin-island-3116445">in HBO’s new series </a><em><a href="https://www.nme.com/news/tv/lil-yachty-rosalia-ezra-koenig-hbo-chillin-island-3116445">Chillin Island</a>.</em></p>

<p>The series is based on the <a href="https://soundcloud.com/user-673615825" target="_blank" rel="noopener">radio series</a> of the same name, which, according to production company Elara Studios, was like “hanging out with rappers and Howard Stern if he was on K”.

<p>Bonnaroo is back.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://bonnaroo.com">festival</a>, which was <a href="https://www.spin.com/2021/08/bonnaroo-2021-canceled/">canceled</a> in 2021 due to inclement weather, just revealed this year’s lineup of musical performances, set to take place over the weekend of June 16-19 on the Bonnaroo Farm.</p>
<p>Located around 60 miles southeast of Nashville in Manchester, TN, Bonnaroo will host the four-day event across 10 stages with a wide-ranging bill cutting across all genres. The festival’s headliners include Gryffin, J. Cole, The Chicks, Illenium, Tool, Flume, 21 Savage, Stevie Nicks, Machine Gun Kelly, and Roddy Ricch.</p>
<p>Other notable scheduled artists include Robert Plant & Alison Krauss, Disclosure, Lord Huron, The War On Drugs, King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, Billy Strings, $uicideboy$, Porter Robinson, Marc Rebillet, Chvrches, Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night, Sweats, Rezz, and Herbie Hancock, among others.</p>
<p>This year’s superjam will be curated by producer/Bleachers musician Jack Antonoff. Knowing his eclectic personal tastes and who he’s worked with in the past, the theme of 1984 could be quite interesting. Just think about all of the amazing albums that were released that year…</p>
<p>As an interesting side note for Tool fans, singer Maynard James Keenan is set to perform twice at Bonnaroo—joining Tool for their heading slot (obviously) and Puscifer for another.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.bonnaroo.com/tickets">Tickets go on sale</a> at 12 pm central on Thursday, Jan. 13, exclusively on Bonnaroo’s website.</p>
<p>This year’s fest will present fest-goers with an assortment of improved camping options, including an updated campground layout for more accessible camping closer to Centeroo. They will also feature hubs of curated activities and convenience, including showers, information booths, and of course, free public Wi-Fi.</p>

<p>The final episode saw Dexter’s son Harrison kill his father, after discovering he had killed Sgt. Logan. Chief of Police Angela Bishop later told Harrison to leave Iron Lake, giving him money to skip town.</p>
<p>Asked by <a href="https://tvline.com/2022/01/08/dexter-new-blood-season-2-renewal-clyde-phillips-interview/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>TVLine</em></a> whether the show now might be able to continue with Harrison as the lead character, Phillips said: “As you can imagine, that’s not the first time I’ve been asked that.</p>
<p>“It’s all in Showtime’s hands,” he added. “If they were to call me and say, ‘We want to do Harrison. We want you to figure it out,’ I’m pretty busy, but I would drop everything I’m doing and jump right into it. I would love to do it, but it’s really up to Showtime.”</p>

<p>In <a href="https://www.nme.com/reviews/tv-reviews/dexter-new-blood-review-3086400">a four-star review of <em>Dexter: New Blood</em></a>, NME wrote: “The narrative goes that producers left <em>Dexter</em>’s original ending ambiguous because they couldn’t justify permanently extinguishing a hit show.</p>
<p><em>“Dexter: New Blood</em> is an opportunity for the character to end his arc with a finale worthy of the viewer’s time. It’s also an opportunity for some moral complexity and much needed edge to infuse pop culture within an increasingly homogenous time.”</p>

<p>Prince died of a fentanyl overdose at his home in April 2016, leaving no will.</p>

<p>Last October, the estate shared <a href="https://www.nme.com/news/music/prince-estate-shares-previously-unheard-demo-of-do-me-baby-3071367">a previously unheard demo</a> of ‘Do Me, Baby’, released to coincide with the 40th-anniversary celebrations of the original release of Prince’s fourth album from 1981, ‘Controversy’.</p>
<p>Back in July, Prince’s “lost” <a href="https://www.nme.com/news/music/princes-notorious-lost-2010-album-welcome-2-america-to-be-released-this-year-2916578">‘Welcome 2 America’</a> album was released. <em>NME</em>‘s <a href="https://www.nme.com/reviews/album/prince-welcome-2-america-review-3004397">four-star review of the album</a> said it was one that “speaks to today’s problems and demands to be heard. It’s better to have it now than never.</p>
<p>“His name was Prince and he was funky, and it seems he has so much more to tell us.”</p>

<p>Musicians often bristle at being compared to other bands, but not <a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/bad-mothers">Bad Mothers</a>.</p>
<p>“I think the Queens of the Stone Age reference makes all of us pretty happy,” singer/guitarist Matt Dalton says about recent write-ups on Bad Mothers’ liberating but masterful brand of dirty rock ‘n’ roll. “We’re pretty big Queens fans, but honestly, [the band’s sound] really is an amalgamation of a huge swath of influences.”</p>
<p>He looks to drummer Brian Chiappinelli, perched next to him on the sofa. “Like Brian is heavily into hip hop. Me, what I listen to changes a lot. Our other guitarist [Patrick Flores], he’s very into neo-soul right now. Our bass player, Kevin [Bohen], is very much into bands like IDLES and heavier metal and punk and hardcore. When we get together and make music, it sounds like us, a heavier, grungy kind of sound.”</p>
<p>There’s a hypnotic dance groove to some of the rhythms both on December’s <a href="https://badmothersband.bandcamp.com/">self-titled debut LP</a> and their tracks in progress. The rockers, who hail from New York’s capital city of Albany, have a ‘90s Seattle sound reminiscent of bands like Gruntruck and faster Soundgarden songs like “My Wave” and a dash of Royal Blood on tracks like “Everything Is Alright” and “Wasted,” two of Bad Mothers’ irresistibly catchy singles.</p>
<p> </p>
<div class="ast-oembed-container"><iframe style="width: 699px; height: 394px;" title="Bad Mothers - Wasted [Official Music Video]" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/P5XCiekthOA?feature=oembed" width="699" height="394" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p>The tunes on their album serve up lyrics of an often-satirical nature.</p>
<p>“I don’t know [if] the album intentionally has a theme, but there is a common occurrence of that satirical take on whatever topic is for that song,” Dalton says. “But each song really takes its own form. This record is definitely very different from our EP, which was kind of a snapshot of how we were back in 2017. This is definitely an accurate snapshot of the sound we’re exploring right now.”</p>
<p>As proof of Bad Mothers’ diversified appeal, they’ve shared the stage with such disparate bands as Quiet Riot, Quicksand and Crazy Town. That’s not counting the times they’ve gotten floors shaking — quite literally — at punk rock-style basement house parties. And then there’s the backing of their new label, Black Country Rock, the <a href="http://spin.com/tag/shooter-jennings">Shooter Jennings</a>-led company with a motto of “To Hell With Music.”</p>
<p>At first, Dalton admits with a laugh that he couldn’t believe that it was that Shooter — solo artist, producer extraordinaire and country royalty — who wanted to put out their record. In fact, he insisted to his dad that it was someone named “Scooter” Jennings. But no, it was Shooter who heard the seven-song <em>Bad Mothers</em> (completed by the band during the 2020 lockdown) and put it out through BCR in conjunction with the band’s own Almost Never Dead label.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 16px;">Bad Mothers have come a long way since meeting at Albany’s College of St. Rose, where they released their first EP in 2017 through the school’s Rose Record Label Group. In fact, they launched with a different band moniker. For the first six months or so, they “were named after a friend of ours, Bonnie Mason,” Dalton explains. Turns out being called the Bonnie Masons wasn’t so great, as she was a musician and visual artist herself. “Why we thought that wouldn’t cause conflict, I don’t know.”</span></p>
<p>“Yeah, I already spray-painted my bass drumhead with a BM logo!” Chiappinelli adds. So the band sought to at least keep the BM initials, which was accomplished by choosing their existing name.</p>
<p>As Bad Mothers work to launch themselves during ever-changing pandemic regulations, each member contributes to different facets of the band business.</p>
<p>“I didn’t finish college,” Chiappinelli admits. That said, he’s a go-getter who thrives on cold-calling and emailing potential business contacts. “What I took away from school was networking,” the drummer says. “I was able to have a mentor through an internship who taught me that you have the most amazing tool in the world in your hand, and that’s your phone.” His takeaway? “You can be on it at all times, hustling, making new connections who are relevant and moving things forward.”</p>
<p>While his drummer is schmoozing, Flores focused on the visuals, creating commercial-quality videos. “All three of our music videos, he shot with his own gear and edited himself,” says Dalton. Meanwhile, Bohen, who handles business around the band’s rehearsal space and studios to record demos in addition to creating promotional material with Photoshop and Illustrator.</p>
<p>“We’re lucky that we can kind of slice [the duties] up. No matter where we are, we’re busy. And Brian’s always got something going on,” Dalton affirms. “He’s not playing Candy Crush. He is making moves all the time. If you’re not making moves, you’re standing still.”</p>

</ul>
<p>The band <a href="https://www.nme.com/news/eels-announce-new-album-extreme-witchcraft-and-share-single-good-night-on-earth-3051122">announced details of new record ‘Extreme Witchcraft’ last year</a>, which is due to be released on January 28 via PIAS and their own E Works Records.</p>
<p>‘Amateur Hour’ is the album’s upbeat and bouncy opening track, and follows previously released singles ’The Magic’, ‘Steam Engine’ and <a href="https://www.nme.com/news/music/watch-eels-intergalactic-new-video-for-good-night-on-earth-3068485">‘Good Night On Earth’</a> – the latter of which arrived first with the album announcement.</p>
<p>Frontman Mark ‘E’ Oliver Everett co-produced ‘Extreme Witchcraft’ with PJ Harvey and producer and guitarist John Parish. It marks the first time E and Parish have worked together since the band’s ‘Souljacker’ album in 2001.</p>
<p><iframe title="EELS - Amateur Hour (official audio) - from EXTREME WITCHCRAFT - out January 28, 2022" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/lz02UFsc6pE?feature=oembed" width="696" height="392" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" loading="lazy"></iframe></p>
<p>Speaking of working on the new record, E said: “John Parish is one of the most even-tempered, polite people I’ve ever met. A true gentleman. Actually he’s probably THE most polite person I’ve ever met. But when he gets into the studio he becomes a mad scientist.</p>
<p>“If you make music with John Parish, you get stuff no one else does. He has a really unique toolbox and musical outlook. Perhaps his politeness is a coping mechanism to keep Mr. Hyde under control when he’s out of his laboratory.”</p>
<p>‘Extreme Witchcraft’ can be pre-ordered <a href="https://ffm.to/extremewitchcraft" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a>.</p>
<p>Eels are also set to <a href="https://www.nme.com/news/music/eels-announce-uk-and-european-tour-for-2022-2992250">head to the UK and Ireland in March for a tour in support of their new LP</a>.

<p>Starring Hamm as “a typical Eels fan finding solace in Eels’ music”, the Greg Barnes-directed one-take video features the actor getting lost in the music – so much so that he become oblivious to a robbery that is taking place directly behind him.</p>

<p>The frontman said he has already made a start on the follow up to 2005’s ‘Tyranny Of Souls’ with long term collaborater Roy ‘Z’ Ramirez but he is still some way off completing the record.</p>

</ul>
<p>He went on to say that he is planning on finishing the record after he has completed his <a href="https://www.nme.com/news/music/iron-maidens-bruce-dickinson-announces-spoken-word-uk-tour-2927974">spoken word tour</a> in the US.</p>
<p>“I am obviously coming over to [America to] do the one-man [spoken-word] show [beginning in late January],” he told <a href="https://loudwire.com/bruce-dickinson-work-on-solo-album-2022/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Loudwire</em></a>.</p>
<figure class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 2000px;"><img src="https://www.nme.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/bruce-dickinson.jpg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" height="444" width="699" /></figure>
<p>“When I get to the end of the one-man show thing at the end of March, then the idea is I’ve got about three weeks cooling my heels somewhere. I’ll lie down in a darkened room for a couple of days and recover from the tour and then put my singing head on and go and have a chat with Roy, because we’ve already got a bunch of material, but we need to organise it a little bit.</p>
<p>“We have demos and everything, but we need to organise it a bit more properly and be a bit more serious about it – maybe write a few more tunes. And then basically leave it down to Roy. [Once] we’ve got what we wanna do, he can go off and start doing backing tracks and things like that.”</p>
<p>Dickinson also said his work on the record <a href="https://www.nme.com/news/music/iron-maiden-announce-legacy-of-the-beast-2022-north-american-tour-3109027">won’t affect Maiden’s forthcoming 2022 tour plans</a>.</p>
<p>He added: “Obviously, I’m gonna be going out on tour with Maiden [later in the year], but we made ‘Tyranny Of Souls’ that way. ‘Tyranny Of Souls’ was done not exactly remotely – well, kind of remotely in that I wasn’t physically present when some of the backing tracks were done but he sent me the backtracks and I listened to them and went, ‘These are cool.’ And some of them I wrote the words to the backtracks, and the tunes and everything.</p>
<div id="jwplayer-video-Z1yBRBhq"></div>
<p>“And some of them we had already done. So mixing and matching like that sometimes gets great results.”</p>
<p>Meanwhile, Dickinson <a href="https://www.nme.com/news/music/iron-maidens-bruce-dickinson-doesnt-really-get-drake-3128101">recently admitted he doesn’t “really get”</a> <a href="https://www.nme.com/artists/drake">Drake</a> after Iron Maiden went head-to-head with the rapper in a chart battle earlier this year.</p>

</ul>
<p>The actor plays a young version of Nathan Drake opposite Mark Wahlberg as Sully in the upcoming film, based on the series of video games from developer Naughty Dog.</p>
<p>Speaking to <a href="https://www.gamesradar.com/tom-holland-explains-how-his-failed-james-bond-pitch-turned-into-the-uncharted-movie/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Total Film</em></a>, Holland explained that the decision to explore the origins of Nathan Drake came from his own pitch of a young James Bond film.</p>
<p>“I had a meeting, after or during <em>Spider-Man 2 [Far From Home]</em>, with Sony to pitch this idea of a young Bond film that I’d come up with,” Holland said.</p>
<p><iframe title="UNCHARTED - Official Trailer (HD)" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/eHp3MbsCbMg?feature=oembed" width="696" height="392" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" loading="lazy"></iframe></p>
<p>“It was the origin story of James Bond. It didn’t really make sense. It didn’t work. It was the dream of a young kid, and I don’t think the Bond estate were particularly interested.</p>
<p>“The idea of a young Bond film sparked this idea, in turn, that you could do a Nathan Drake story as a origin story, rather than as an addition to the games. And that opened a conversation.”</p>
<p>His <em>Spider-Man</em> co-star Jacob Batalon, who plays Ned, has <a href="https://www.nme.com/news/film/tom-holland-wants-to-play-james-bond-he-talks-about-it-a-lot-3099850" target="_blank" rel="noopener">previously spoken about</a> how Holland is very keen to play James Bond.</p>
<p>“He talks about being James Bond a lot,” Batalon told <a href="https://www.gq.com/story/tom-holland-superhero-of-the-year-2021?utm_source=twitter&mbid=social_twitter&utm_brand=gq&utm_social-type=owned&utm_medium=social" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>GQ</em></a>. “A lot a lot.”</p>
<p>Directed by Ruben Fleischer (<em>Zombieland</em>, <em>Venom</em>), Uncharted also stars Antonio Banderas as treasure hunter villain Moncada, Sophia Ali as Nathan’s love interest Chloe Frazer and Tati Gabrielle as Braddock.</p>
<p>A synopsis reads: “In an action-adventure epic that spans the globe, the two go in dangerous pursuit of ‘the greatest treasure never found’ while also tracking clues that may lead to Nathan’s long lost brother.”</p>
<div id="jwplayer-video-tD1BjMfS"></div>
<p>The <em>Uncharted</em> video game series consists of four mainline games, concluding with 2016’s <em>Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End</em>. There’s spin-offs too, including 2017’s <em>Uncharted: The Lost Legacy</em> which marked the first game to not feature Nathan Drake.</p>
<p><em>Uncharted</em> is scheduled to be released in UK cinemas on February 18.</p>

<p>For the first time in her over 50-year-long career, <a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/judy-collins">Judy Collins</a> announced a new album that is unlike anything she’s done in the past. Titled <em>Spellbound</em>, the album will feature all original songs written entirely by Collins herself.</p>
<p><em>Spellbound</em> is Collins’ 29th album and her sixth in the past six years. With the announcement, she released its first single, “When I Was A Girl In Colorado,” today. The record is out on February 25 and is available for<a href="https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0012b06GqrcPLxwrICA-LCUxKDa3EkcWvcsOS_8OBqKLqc2ubJUsvq88BxWRv1PypjS_reYUOX9C8mcAwfIVz4NW8raoBEbP3MIV2e8jJrBMlzx5LnBiho1meoQV3LHiPkVIlh1Xi1jUj76OB_m_85ZsHnN0b9BaNUtr2xrRp6hjkgw489mu3mmyyQCa_HuqifU&c=DEpIDihjlHTjXqj7-xyZ-C5qejFF_Qo7DR4eUayOdMN8ssu-KKB4DQ==&ch=lUtoTQATwvouDnCmJPGU0Q9wtOABcy0lhzwIR32Tf3MXI09qGeZiUg=="> pre-order</a> now.</p>

<p>“They say after the plague came the Renaissance,” Collins said in a statement. “Now felt like the perfect time to make this record because, after all that’s happened in the world, we need something beautiful and inspirational to lift us up.”</p>
<p>Co-producer Alan Silverman and singer-songwriter-guitarist Ari Hest joined Collins for the creation of the record, and Collins and Hest had previously been nominated for the Best Folk Album Grammy in 2016 for their duet record, <em>Silver Skies Blue</em>. The record’s core musicians include multi-instrumentalist Thad DeBrock, bassist Zev Katz, and drummer Doug Yowell.</p>

<p>In early celebration of the late legend <a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/david-bowie">David Bowie</a>‘s 75th birthday, <a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/spoon">Spoon</a> unveiled a cover of “I Can’t Give Everything Away” off Bowie’s final record, <em>Blackstar</em>.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><iframe id="AmazonMusicEmbedB09P4FJ8MY" style="border: 1px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.12); max-width: 500px;" src="https://music.amazon.com/embed/B09P4FJ8MY/?id=MzFtD6J688&marketplaceId=ATVPDKIKX0DER&musicTerritory=US" width="100%" height="290px"></iframe></p>
<p> </p>
<p>The new cover was released as part of Amazon Music’s month-long [RE]DISCOVER campaign, which throughout January Bowie is the Artist of the Month. Spotlighted with a curated playlist, this month’s campaign is further honoring Bowie’s birthday on Saturday, January 8. Spoon recorded the version live of the track in December 2021, and will appear on [RE]DUX 036: David Bowie, Amazon’s playlist series that presents legendary musician’s best works, influences, and inspirations.</p>
<p>“‘I Can’t Give Everything Away’ is a tune Alex and I have been playing since we learned it for an acoustic and piano show in Mexico City in 2016,” Britt Daniel said in a statement. “It’s just a fantastic song, and as the last song on Bowie’s final album it doesn’t disappoint.”</p>

Accompanying the announcement, the band gave us a sneak-peek into the album by releasing its first, spur-banging single “The Hardest Cut.”</p>

<p>It’s been almost three years since <a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/denzel-curry">Denzel Curry</a> last released an album. In the interim, he’s released a pair of Record Store Day singles. The 2020 edition featured Curry covering Rage Against the Machine’s “Killing in the Name.”</p>
<p>On Wednesday, Curry shared a trailer for his fifth studio album. Titled <em>Melt My Eyes See Your Future</em>, the teaser sees Curry roaming through a desert, with clues to who will collaborate with him. Those names include T-Pain, Slowthai, 6lack, Rico Nasty, Kenny Beats, JPEGMAFIA, Thundercat, Robert Glasper (who joined forces with Curry on his 2021 RSD single) and more.</p>
<p>Curry didn’t share information on a release date. However, the captain to the YouTube video read as follows: MELT MY EYEZ SEE YOUR FUTURE… COMING TO A STEREO NEAR YOU.</p>

<p>His previous solo album was 2019’s <em>Zuu</em>. In 2020, Curry collaborated with Beats on <a href="https://denzelcurry.com/"><em>Unlocked</em></a> and later, the remix album <em>Unlocked 1.5</em>. In addition to the RSD singles, he also dropped “Bad Luck” for DC Comics’ <em>Dark Knights: Death Metal</em> soundtrack and “The Game” for the <em>Madden NFL 22</em> soundtrack.</p>

<p><em>NME</em> readers might think of <a href="https://www.nme.com/artists/tom-waits">Tom Waits</a> as a singer-songwriter first and an actor second, but you can bet the average movie-goer could point to a Tom Waits cameo more easily than they could hum one of his tunes.</p>
<p>Waits is choosy about the films he does, but he’s pretty prolific, too – often working with the same directors and actors, choosing self-contained small parts and displaying range that runs from playing himself to playing Satan.</p>
<p>Here we look at the apparent chaos of Waits’ cinematic enterprises to find the patterns.</p>
<figure id="attachment_3123218" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 2000px;" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-3123218"><img src="https://www.nme.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/licorice-pizza-tom-waits-2.jpg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" height="443" width="698" /></figure>
<h2><strong>The reluctant horror guy</strong></h2>
<p>Something of a dark soul outwardly, Waits is a good fit for horror – but it’s a genre he’s clearly wary of. Following an early cameo as ‘Drunken Bar Owner’ in <em>Wolfen</em>, a 1981 movie about murderous wolf spirits, he quickly swerved from the horror genre into stuff that might be deemed a bit more serious.</p>
<p>But Waits couldn’t wait to get his teeth into a role in Francis Ford Coppola’s 1992 take on <em>Dracula</em>, alongside a jaw-dropper cast of Gary Oldman, Winona Ryder, Keanu Reeves and Anthony Hopkins. Since then, his policy seems to be that if one of his pet directors is doing a horror, Waits will consider it. See his role in Jim Jarmusch’s 2019 zombie oddity <em>The Dead Don’t Die</em>.</p>
<p><iframe title="The Dead Don't Die - Official Trailer (Universal Pictures) HD" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Pf7yaOmQo6Q?feature=oembed" width="696" height="392" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" loading="lazy"></iframe></p>
<h2>Coppola’s go-to guy (1983-1984)</h2>
<p>Francis Ford Coppola first engaged his friend Tom Waits for his musical talent, commissioning a soundtrack for his 1982 movie <em>One From The Heart</em>. The result, a duet with country star Crystal Gayle, was nominated for an Oscar.</p>
<p>Following a cameo in the accompanying movie, Coppola went on to cast Waits in pretty much everything he was working on at the time: <em>The Outsiders</em> (1983), about clashing gangs of ‘greasers’ and ‘socials’, <em>Rumble Fish</em> (1983) and jazz-based crime drama <em>The Cotton Club</em> (1984).</p>
<p>These movies – typically hard-edged and representing Coppola in an imperious phase – coincided with Waits’ musical shift towards the experimental, eccentric and heavy evolution of his jazz and blues-influenced sound epitomised by ‘Rain Dogs’ (1985), ‘Big Time’ (soundtrack) and ‘The Black Rider’.</p>
<figure id="attachment_3123219" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 2000px;" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-3123219"><img src="https://www.nme.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/licorice-pizza-tom-waits-3.jpg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" height="443" width="698" /></figure>
<h2><strong>The undisputed king of the anthology movie</strong></h2>
<p>At some point in time, it was clearly decided that the ideal amount of Tom Waits in a movie is about 10 minutes. Is it Tom’s busy schedule, balancing movies with recording, TV, touring and, you know, being Tom Waits? Possibly. But you’d have to look to Jim Jarmusch to see how Waits became the master of anthology movies – those which tell often interwoven, equally-weighted plots about multiple characters. This is a place of meetings in coffee houses, monologues and introspection.</p>
<p><iframe title="Coffee and Cigarettes Official Trailer #1 - Steven Wright Movie (2003) HD" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/mM6Mpn0-eyQ?feature=oembed" width="696" height="522" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" loading="lazy"></iframe></p>
<p>Waits and Jarmusch’s association began with 1989’s crime comedy <em>Mystery Train</em>, in which the former appeared as a radio host in voice only. But it came of age in 2003’s <em>Coffee & Cigarettes</em> in the segment titled <em>Somewhere In California</em>, where Waits was seen having a painfully stilted conversation with <a href="https://www.nme.com/artists/iggy-pop">Iggy Pop</a>, smoking and noting how their music is absent from the jukebox.</p>
<p>In the meantime, Tom Waits had worked with yet another revered director, Robert Altman, as one of the 22 principal leads in the acclaimed anthology movie <em>Short Cuts</em>. Waits won a Golden Globe for his performance as Earl Piggot, an alcoholic limo driver. That’s Tom Waits, then – the ultimate team player.</p>
<h2><strong>The master of the surprise cameo</strong></h2>
<p>Few remember <em>Mystery Men</em>, the comedy superhero movie starring Ben Stiller as an angry man leading a motley crew of have-a-go heroes – which may be to the liking of Tom Waits, who, for some reason, pops up in a bright yellow suit at a superhero party where he propositions an elderly woman.</p>
<p><iframe title="Tom Waits in 'Mystery Men' - Party Scene (1999)" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/TIr0FYGC_Sk?feature=oembed" width="696" height="522" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" loading="lazy"></iframe></p>
<h2><strong>The voice-over guy</strong></h2>
<p>With those gruff tones and a singer’s vocal control, Waits is a gift for animators – but he still doesn’t get the cute roles. He played Virgil, a “terrifying giant pitch-black swallow” in 2011’s <em>The Monster Of Nix</em>. “Tom Waits was always the main inspiration for the dark and theatrical appearance of Virgil,” said director Rosto.</p>
<p>More recently, Waits narrated 2021’s very silly stop-motion animation series <em>Ultra City Smiths</em>, which stars Paul Thomas Anderson regular John C Reilly. Fans of Tom Waits and cartoons looking for a real curio should check out the animated 1979 short <em>Tom Waits for No One</em>, which, aside from being a great pun, is a great example of the rotoscoping technique of animating over real footage.</p>

<h2><strong>Terry Gilliam’s devil</strong></h2>
<p>Imagine the conversation where Terry Gilliam, Monty Python man-turned-celebrated director, calls Tom Waits and tells him he has a part for him in a movie called <em>The Imaginarium Of Dr Parnassus</em> – and it’s the devil.</p>
<p>Waits’ music suggests he’s something of a minimalist, a traditionalist and a realist rather than an Imaginariumist. Yet he was willing to take Gilliam’s hand into crazy cuckoo world, building on an association that began in 1991 with the grittier territory of <em>The Fisher King</em>’s semi-fantastical New York, in which Waits played a downtrodden Vietnam vet. Waits makes a fine devil, or Mr Nick as the film has him, in a story co-written with Gilliam’s <em>…Baron Munchausen</em> collaborator Charles McKeown.</p>

<h2><strong>One psychopath</strong></h2>
<p>So it turns out that having a face like a Styrofoam sculpture of Keith Richards typecasts an actor in a certain type of role – but that’s not a bad thing when it’s Martin McDonagh who comes calling. Waits took a lead performance in 2012’s <em>Seven Psychopaths</em>, a movie about the bungled kidnapping of a miniature dog, and one whose cult is ever-growing.</p>

<p>As the Omicron variant of <a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/coronavirus">COVID</a> has wreaked havoc on society, the Recording Academy has announced that it is pushing <a href="https://www.spin.com/2021/11/grammy-nominations-2022-kanye-west-gets-surprise-nom-jon-batiste-leads-with-11/">this year</a>‘s <a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/2022-grammys">Grammy</a> Awards. This is the second year in a row that the ceremony has been pushed back on account of COVID.</p>
<p>In a statement sent out on Wednesday, the Academy outlined its decision, which you can see below.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>After careful consideration and analysis with city and state officials, health and safety experts, the artist community and our many partners, the Recording Academy and CBS have postponed the 64th Annual GRAMMY Awards Show. The health and safety of those in our music community, the live audience, and the hundreds of people who work tirelessly to produce our show remains our top priority.</p>
<p>Given the uncertainty surrounding the Omicron variant, holding the show on January 31st simply contains too many risks.</p>
<p>We look forward to celebrating Music’s Biggest Night on a future date, which will be announced soon.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>As for the nominations itself, Jon Batiste led all <a href="https://www.spin.com/2021/11/grammy-nominations-2022-kanye-west-gets-surprise-nom-jon-batiste-leads-with-11/">nominees</a> with 11 nods. Justin Bieber, Doja Cat, and H.E.R. have eight nominations while Billie Eilish and Olivia Rodrigo picked up seven apiece.</p>
<p>Last year, the ceremony was pushed to March at what was then known as Staples Center. This year, the event was supposed to place at the same venue, now called the Crypto.com Arena, on January 31 in Los Angeles.</p>
<p>A new date has yet to be announced.</p>

<p>Speaking to <a href="https://www.instyle.com/celebrity/gal-gadot/february-2022-cover" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>InStyle</em></a>, Gadot said: “With the whole ‘Imagine’ controversy, it’s funny. I was calling Kristen [Wiig] and I was like, ‘Listen, I want to do this thing.’ The pandemic was in Europe and Israel before it came here [to the US] in the same way. I was seeing where everything was headed. But [the video] was premature.”</p>
<p>She added: “It wasn’t the right timing, and it wasn’t the right thing. It was in poor taste. All pure intentions, but sometimes you don’t hit the bull’s-eye, right?”</p>
<p>Speaking in the cover video after six days of self-quarantine, the <em>Wonder Woman</em> actress said: “These past few days got me feeling a bit philosophical. You know this virus has affected the entire world, everyone. It doesn’t matter who you are, where you’re from. We’re all in this together.”</p>

<p>Last October, <a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/david-lee-roth">David Lee Roth</a> announced “I am throwing in the shoes. <a href="https://www.spin.com/2021/10/david-lee-roth-announces-retirement/">I’m retiring</a>.” The Van Halen frontman had scheduled his final five live shows at House of Blues in Las Vegas’ Mandalay Bay that would have taken place early this year. The frontman had previously canceled his New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day shows, and announced on December 30 that the shows would be rescheduled for Feb 11-12. They attributed it to the “unforeseen circumstances related to COVID and out of an abundance of caution for those working and attending the shows.”</p>
<p>Now, Roth has canceled the entire residency due to the rapid spread of the Omicron COVID-19 variant. Thus (at least as of now) ending his 50-year performing career earlier than expected.</p>
<p>Roth initially revealed the news of his retirement in an interview with the <a href="https://www.reviewjournal.com/entertainment/entertainment-columns/kats/david-lee-roth-im-throwing-in-the-shoes-im-retiring-2451302/"><em>Las Vegas Review-Journal</em></a>.</p>
<p><em>SPIN </em>reached out to Roth’s reps on the status of the shows and if they’ll be rescheduled or outright canceled. However, the shows are listed as “canceled” on the <a href="https://www.houseofblues.com/lasvegas/concert-events">venue’s site</a>.</p>
<p>On January 3, he posted a photo on his social media overlooking a city with the message, “a funny thing happened on the way to Las Vegas.”</p>

<p>Darryl “DMC” McDaniels is 57, but he still speaks with the boundless energy and commanding voice that he changed the music world with as a teenager. Whether he’s talking about the MCs that made him want to rap in the early ‘80s, his youth outreach work, or his upcoming single with Sebastian Bach, Travis Barker, Duff McKagan, and Mick Mars, DMC’s enthusiasm is infectious.</p>
<p>McDaniels founded Run-DMC in 1983 with his friends Joseph “Run” Simmons and Jason “Jam Master Jay” Mizell. Over the next few years, the trio became hip hop trailblazers, the first rap group with a gold album, then the first with a platinum album, and then a multi-platinum album. <a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/run-dmc">Run-DMC</a>, who we named <a href="https://www.spin.com/2020/11/the-most-influential-artists-7-run-dmc/">the 7th most influential artist of the last 35 years</a>, has been largely inactive since Mizell’s tragic 2002 death, but DMC has stayed busy, releasing a solo album, writing a memoir, and establishing his own comic book imprint.</p>
<p>On January 4, McDaniels is teaming with Random House and Nickelodeon to publish his first children’s book, <em><a href="https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/704151/darryls-dream-by-darryl-dmc-mcdaniels-shawnee-warfield-johnny-warfield-and-adam-padilla-illustrated-by-tristan-tait/">Darryl’s Dream</a></em>, which he co-wrote with Shawnee and Johnny Warfield and Adam Padilla. The book depicts a young McDaniels in 3rd grade, discovering a love of poetry and learning to love the glasses that would someday be an iconic part of his image. “A lot of kids wanna take the glasses off, a lot of kids don’t wanna express, ‘Y’know, I’m into coloring books and finger painting,’ stuff like that,” he says. “The things that I made powerful were actually things that I got teased, bullied and picked on. Ice-T said ‘Yo, DMC is the only MC that could rhyme about glasses, St. John’s University, chicken and collard greens and make it positivity gangsta.’ So that’s what I’m tryin’ to do with this book.”</p>

<p><strong>SPIN: Thanks for taking the time to talk so close to Christmas. I love hearing “Christmas In Hollis” this time of year.</strong><br><strong>Darryl “DMC” McDaniels:</strong> I mean it’s so crazy that it’s become a part of holiday tradition, I never thought it would. It was usually “Frosty the Snowman,” y’know, Bing Crosby, Nat King Cole, chestnuts and “White Christmas” and all of that.</p>
<p><strong>I know you’ve done a memoir and a graphic novel, was Darryl’s Dream was a matter of you looking for your next literary project?</strong><br>No, not at all, I just kind of fell into this. 95 percent of what I do, if I’m not onstage or at a Comic-Con, I’m visiting schools. So it started with me going into high schools. I would go to high schools and just speak, “Yo I’m DMC, this is how I grew up, whatever, whatever.” So there’s no tales of drugs and gangs in my story. So the high school kids is looking at me like “How did you become the king of it all?” Then the high school teachers was like “You need to take that into the middle schools.” So I go into the middle schools, not changing nothing, didn’t dumb anything down, didn’t overrate my masculinity or my street cred. Those teachers were like “You need to take this into the elementary schools.” So I would go into the schools, I’m talking about in front of kindergarteners and second graders and third graders. Y’know, I don’t go [slowly] “Hey, kids my name is Darryl.” No, I go “Yo, my name is Darryl McDaniel.” And the kids would ask me some amazing questions.</p>
<p>So long story short, I went to these two schools in Brooklyn, and I spoke to the third, fourth, and fifth graders. And the teachers were like “When you left, the attitudes of these kids changed.” So they invited me back the next year, same thing. So the teachers go, the two educators said, “You should write a book.” And I go no, I don’t feel like doing a book. So they bring me back a third year, same thing, “You should write a book.” I said OK, OK, here’s the deal, I’ll do a book, but you gotta help me, because the educators are the ones on the front lines every day with our children. And some of these teachers know the kids better than the parents. So I said OK, here’s my idea, here’s Darryl, a third grade talent show, the peer pressure that all young people go through, let’s make that part of it, the bullying, let’s make that a part of it.</p>
<p><strong>Run DMC was still very image-based and you guys kinda had the tough guy persona but this was before gangsta rap so it was a different thing.</strong><br>Right. I tell people, y’know, the reason why N.W.A. is wearing Raiders jackets is because of us. So if I can show a kid, yo, I’m the king of this hip hop thing, yes, that’s true, but I am no different from you, I tell the kids I’m not smarter than you, I’m not better than you, I’m not even more talented than you. But I am you when you take advantage of every educational artistic creative event or incident or thing in your life, and that’s what Darryl’s Dream represents. All of these kids have dreams. Two of the educators that helped me write the book are Shawnee and Johnny Warfield, who at the time were just teachers, they now are both principals in their respective school districts. So we realized that there are so many things that we are not tapping into with these children. So let’s allow them to dream, let’s allow them to be creative.</p>
<p><strong>I think one of the reasons hip hop keeps connecting with generation after generation is that rhyming is the most fun you can have with words, you see it in how kids react to Dr. Seuss books. </strong><br>Dr. Seuss is better than Eminem, Jay-Z, and LL, let’s keep it real! Dr. Seuss got the best bars in the history of hip hop, you hit it right on the nose. A lot of hip hop, the parents can’t listen to and the kids can’t listen to either. All my music from day one was never ageist, now I’m even more famous than I was in the ‘80s because the kids love the “Tricky” song.</p>
<p><strong>Yeah, it’s interesting that “It’s Tricky” wasn’t your biggest hit at the time but it’s become the one you hear the most now. </strong><br>Right, it’s everywhere, it’s in every Adam Sandler movie, <em>Road Trip</em>, it’s in every cartoon. It’s one of those songs that resonates with your total being. And I noticed that once I connect with the kids with the songs, I can talk to them.</p>
<p><strong>I’m curious, which Run-DMC album are you proudest of?</strong><br>Of course it’s <em>Raising Hell</em>. I think <em>Raising Hell</em> was just a complete presentation of what to do if you wanna do a hip-hop album, because remember, nobody believed hip-hop albums was gonna sell, because everything was singles. We took a gamble when we did the first album, and it was hugely successful because of “Rock Box,” where we combined hip hop and rock, because rock was some of the records we freestyled over in the streets. I was inspired by Grandmaster Caz from the Cold Crush, Melle Mel, DJ Daryll C. from the Crash Crew, whole bunch of hip-hop bands people never heard of. My rhyme style with the echo is from a girl, Sha Rock, the first greatest female MC ever, who’s better than 99% of the dudes rappin’ today. Sha Rock was from The Funky Four Plus One. Everybody wanted to know what the Plus One is, the Plus One was this dynamic female MC. And this was in the early days of hip hop was definitely dude-dominated, Sha Rock on the mic, some dudes left the party because you can’t be better than her.</p>
<p><strong>Even today with so many women rapping on the charts, you still don’t see a lot of male rappers saying one of their biggest influences is a woman, so for you to say that now is rare. </strong><br>Yes, yes, and she heard me, and reached out to me and said “No one has ever done that.”</p>
<p><strong>I know you’ve had some singles out recently, do you think you’ll ever do another solo album?</strong><br>Yes! I’m working on it right now, it’s gonna be called <em>America</em>. The single ”America” is out now, I just dropped a song called “Ghetto Metal,” it’s all rock/rap-based. The video’s out on YouTube, I pay homage to Eddie Van Halen, Jimi Hendrix, and to my man Slash who’s still runnin’ around slayin’ people.</p>
<div class="ast-oembed-container"><iframe style="width: 698px; height: 393px;" title="Darryl 'DMC' McDaniels 'Ghetto Metal' ( Official Video )" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ELaDL4UuM00?feature=oembed" width="698" height="393" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p>I’m putting out a vinyl EP in about four months, I got a song with Sammy Hagar, I got a song with Joan Jett. The next single we’re dropping in January or February is called “She Gets Me High” but it’s a remake of “Black Betty” by Ram Jam. It’s me on the mic, Sebastian Bach singing, Mick Mars from Motley Crue on guitar, Travis Barker on drums, and Duff McKagan from Guns N’ Roses on bass. So that’s dropping, and then Bumpy Knuckles aka Freddie Foxxx, one of the greatest underground lyricists in the history of hip hop, he’s also a great producer. He produced a song featuring the incomparable DJ Jazzy Jeff, Ice-T, and Chuck D of Public Enemy, all of us together.</p>
<p><strong>It’s cool that you have Travis Barker in there, because he’s really the person right now that is putting rock and rap together the most at a mainstream level right now. </strong><br>Yes! You know how he got on the record, I went to a party. Travis is there, he walks up to me and says “Most people jumped on the bandwagon with ‘Walk This Way,’ but I was there since ‘Rock Box.’ When I heard ‘Rock Box,’ I knew I could be a rock star.” And he said, “If there’s ever anything I could do for you,” I go oh, by the way, me and Sebastian are doing this thing, he’s like “I’m in.” That showed me that what I did in ’85 was resonating two generations below me. But we was always wholesome, we were dominant, we were Godlike, but you didn’t see a celebrity, you felt like you was down with us.</p>
<p><strong>Yeah, it kinda feels like Run-DMC was like The Rolling Stones or The Ramones, just these guys who grew up in the same neighborhood and had a cool look and happened to make music.</strong><br>When we first did our shows, when we played New York, it was always “Joey’s here, the Ramones are in the audience.”</p>

<p>Nearly 40 years ago (February 16, 1985, to be exact), the release of the first installment of <a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/karate-kid"><em>The Karate Kid</em></a> films brought combat sports to arguably its widest audience. Thanks to <a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/netflix/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">streaming services</a>, the legend continues today with <em>Cobra Kai</em>. The sibling franchises have spawned millions of attempted martial artists worldwide hoping to master Mr. Miyagi’s “wax on, wax off” technique and the infamous “crane kick” that Daniel LaRusso inflicts upon his rival Johnny Lawrence in the championship climax. In fact, Ralph Macchio (LaRusso) and William Zabka (Johnny Lawrence), then a pair of Hollywood babyfaces, were trying karate for the first time themselves during filming. And, thanks to a ton of movie magic – and perhaps more embellishment – they pulled off looking like pros marvelously.</p>
<p>Run down the rabbit hole on YouTube and you’ll find that for every one authentic martial arts film – those flicks that capture combat and culture tastefully – there are roughly 10,000 movies that are absolute pieces of trash. At worst, martial arts films have been filled with nonsensical haiku poems, illogical plot lines, bizarre villains, and cheap unrealistic gore. The best martial arts films capture the discipline and dedication needed to practice combat sports. But even films that aren’t quite as stupid are filled with exaggerated action.</p>
<p>At their core, many of the moves seen in martial arts films are based on some sort of authentic technique. Danny Anderson, owner of <a href="https://www.andersonsmartialarts.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Anderson’s Martial Arts</a> in New York City, says he was inspired to learn how to defend himself after seeing films starring the likes of legendary martial artists, such as Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan and Jean-Claude Van Damme. Yes, even the Muscles from Brussels is the real deal.</p>
<p>“Are there hokey, funny things out there? One hundred percent,” Anderson says. “It’s obviously subjective to whoever’s watching it and thinking that it’s completely unrealistic. And I’m going to say that there are a lot of completely unrealistic films out there.”</p>
<p>Season 4 of <em>Cobra Kai</em> premiered on December 31, 2021 on Netflix, so we spoke with Anderson to weigh in on how close the action seen in <em>The Karate Kid</em> franchise is to real-life martial arts combat.</p>
<h2> </h2>
<h2>Daniel LaRusso’s trademark crane kick</h2>
<p>In <em>The Karate Kid</em>, Daniel LaRusso delivers the All Valley Karate Championship winning blow via a devastating, yet questionable kick to the alpha dog Johnny Lawrence. A Hollywood take on the Mae Tobi Geri, the “crane kick” is sort of like the jump kicks that are common in karate, taekwondo and kung fu. Martial artist Darryl Vidal was tasked with <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tlV-KjoiQY" target="_blank" rel="noopener">creating an on-screen kick</a> that would heighten the drama, so he took a kick that is used in almost every system and focused on how to include his arms. While LaRusso – and kids who attempted it worldwide – did look dumb holding his arms like twin swans in the air above his head, Anderson says that the kick itself is rooted in actual martial arts.</p>
<div class="ast-oembed-container"><iframe style="width: 700px; height: 394px;" title="" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/5pL6uUYdWbU?feature=oembed" width="700" height="394" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p> </p>
<p>“If you look at the crane kick where Daniel LaRusso put his arms up and kicked Johnny in the face, it’s a little ridiculous, right? But take that same kick and you look at how <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1Ik4aI2PD0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Anderson Silva (delivered) it to Vitor Belfort</a> [at UFC 126 in February 2011]. He did the same exact thing. But his hands are in and his elbows are tucked. It’s the same kick though,” Anderson says.</p>
<p>“Sometimes for film they want to see these humongous and flowery, beautiful motions. Could it work? Maybe. Is it practical? Probably not. But you can take the same kick and make it work.”</p>
<p>Not practical and if applied to the face, totally illegal. In <em>The Karate Kid</em>, the referee instructs the fighters that strikes to the face are illegal. However, even before the “crane kick,” Johnny Lawrence should have been disqualified for his illegal elbow to LaRusso’s knee. But who wants to end the movie on a DQ?</p>
<h2>Mr. Miyagi’s ‘Wax On, Wax Off’</h2>
<p>Besides being one of the most echoed of all ‘80s movie catchphrases, Anderson says that Mr. Miyagi’s “wax on, wax off” training technique actually teaches Daniel a motion that is utilized in several different disciplines.</p>
<div class="ast-oembed-container"><iframe style="width: 700px; height: 394px;" title="Karate Kid - Daniel's Training " src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Bg21M2zwG9Q?start=7&feature=oembed" width="700" height="394" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p> </p>
<p>“Wax on, wax off is just a parry – an exaggerated parry. Similar to boxers parrying a punch or parrying their jab or a parry cross. But the hand movements are more subtle versus this really big, half circle motion,” Anderson explains. “There’s a wax on wax off type of motion in Muay Thai, and Muay Thai is extremely real and perfect for street fighting. You would make that wax on, wax off motion with your hands if someone front kicks you. That scooping motion is one hundred percent being done every day in real combat. You see it in Glory Kickboxing or any other organization; so it’s there.”</p>
<h2>Cobra Kai dojo vs. Miyagi Do</h2>
<p>Anderson says that both the Cobra Kai way and the Miyagi way have merit when preparing students for combat sports competition. Mr. Miyagi’s teachings encompass kata and the Gōjū-ryū style, both of which have roots in his hometown, the Japanese island of Okinawa. It embraces the deeply spiritual nature of the martial artist. Cobra Kai on the other hand, well, it’s centered around grit and ass-kicking.</p>
<div class="ast-oembed-container"><iframe style="width: 698px; height: 393px;" title="Cobra Kai - Season 1 - Strike First! Strike Hard! (HD Clip - 2020)" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/BRt61_YFz0U?feature=oembed" width="698" height="393" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p> </p>
<p>“Even before they launched the TV series, I would joke with my students that both philosophies are right. The Cobra Kai ‘strike first, strike hard, no mercy’ is like, ‘shut your mouth and do this and do a hundred of these. Just shut up and do it.’ That produces a really incredible fighter when you teach people like that,” Anderson says.</p>
<p>“Then there’s the Miyagi and LaRusso way that is more about philosophy, about being a better person and understanding when and where to use your martial arts. Now, it just sounds like the opposite of what a normal person wants to learn in martial arts.

<p>A few weeks ago, <a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/nirvana">Nirvana</a> <a href="https://www.spin.com/2021/12/nirvana-baby-lawsuit-spencer-elden/">fired back</a> at Spencer Elden over his <a href="https://www.spin.com/2021/08/nirvana-sued-by-nevermind-baby-for-child-pornography/">lawsuit</a> alleging child pornography on the <em>Nevermind </em>album art. The band’s estate sought to have the case dismissed, saying that Elden had “spent three decades profiting from his celebrity as the self-anointed ‘Nirvana Baby.'” In U.S. District Court in Central California on Monday, Judge Fernando M. Olguin dismissed the case “with leave to amend.”</p>
<p>In short, Judge Olguin dismissed the case because Elden’s legal team had until last Thursday (December 30) to file an opposition to the Nirvana estate’s request. Elden’s team missed that deadline. Now, they have until January 13 to refile a second complaint, which the court said it will “grant defendants’ Motion and give plaintiff one last opportunity to amend his complaint.”</p>
<p>However, if Elden’s team doesn’t make that deadline, which is in 10 days, then he won’t have the opportunity to refile. If they make the deadline, then Nirvana’s estate has until January 27 to reply to the refiled suit.</p>
<p>“Failure to timely file a Second Amended Complaint shall result in this action being dismissed without prejudice for failure to prosecute and/or failure to comply with a court order,” the ruling, in paperwork viewed by <em>SPIN</em>, said.</p>
<p>In their initial filing, and in addition to saying Elden profited from his celebrity, the Nirvana estate also said that the statute of limitations for the suit expired over a decade ago. They also argued that this isn’t a case of child pornography either.</p>
<p>“Elden’s claim that the photograph on the <em>Nevermind</em> album cover is ‘child pornography’ is, on its face, not serious,” the Nirvana estate also said. “A brief examination of the photograph, or Elden’s own conduct (not to mention the photograph’s presence in the homes of millions of Americans who, on Elden’s theory, are guilty of felony possession of child pornography) makes that clear.”</p>
<p>The initial suit filed by Elden came a month before <em>Nevermind</em>‘s 30th anniversary. There, Elden alleged that as a four-month-old baby, he could not give permission for his image to be used on the cover and that his legal guardians didn’t give consent for its use either.</p>
<p>Elden’s suit stirred emotions from many fans and pop culture personalities. Bill Maher on his HBO show <a href="https://www.spin.com/2021/10/bill-maher-nevermind-baby-lawsuit-reaction/">said</a> that Elden should “stop being such a fucking baby.”</p>

<p>Following the news, <a href="https://www.nme.com/artists/tame-impala">Tame Impala</a> frontman Kevin Parker <a href="https://www.nme.com/news/music/tame-impalas-kevin-parker-says-daft-punk-split-felt-like-when-someone-dies-2889764">likened the breakup to the emotional impact of a death.</a> “I mean, I guess I wasn’t expecting to be as emotional as I was. It was almost like when you hear about someone that’s died.“I know it’s obviously not nearly as tragic as when someone dies, but that kind of shock,” he said.</p>
<p>Since the split, it’s been announced that Daft Punk’s Thomas Bangalter is <a href="https://www.nme.com/news/music/daft-punk-thomas-bangalter-scoring-new-ballet-3007817">set to provide the score for a new ballet called <em>Mythologies</em>.</a></p>
<p><em>Mythologies</em> will be co-produced by Opéra National de Bordeaux and Ballet Preljocal. It will take place over 90 minutes and will, according to a translation, tackle the “founding myths that shape the collective imagination”.</p>
<p>It will run over July 1-10, 2022, at Bordeaux’s Grand Théâtre de Bordeaux and will be directed by Angelin Preljocal, the choreographer and founder of Ballet Preljocal. Bangalter’s score will be performed by the Orchestre National Bordeaux Aquitaine, while musical direction will come from Romain Dumas.</p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Joyous as the song sounds, Walton explained that she wrote the song as a kind of olive branch to her bandmate, Jenny Hollingworth “after a breakdown that lasted for a long period of time.” Walton said in a press statement that she hoped the song would convey how important their friendship is and how much faith she has in their ability to overcome any misunderstandings. </span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I used the setting of New Year as both an opportunity for reflection, looking back nostalgically through childhood memories that we shared, and to represent the beginning of a fresh chapter for us,” Walton said. “I’d been struggling to come to terms with the fact that our relationship had changed, but … [I’ve] come to accept that it couldn’t stay the way it was when we were kids forever, and start to view it as a positive thing — because now we have been able to grow into our own individual selves.” </span></p>

<p>One of the biggest (and best) surprises of 2021 was <a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/halsey">Halsey</a>‘s <em>If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power</em>. The <a href="https://open.spotify.com/album/3sq0hRtlT2SYeYajr5Cx22">album</a> consisted of 14 songs written by the artist and was produced by none other than Nine Inch Nails’ Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross. <em>If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power </em>scored a Grammy nod in the Best Alternative Music Album category.</p>
<p>Today, Halsey shared an extended edition of <em>If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power</em>. The collection features two new songs: “Nightmare Reprise” and “People disappear here.”</p>
<div class="ast-oembed-container"><iframe style="width: 699px; height: 524px;" title="Nightmare (Reprise)" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/lfKyzPDtBXg?feature=oembed" width="699" height="524" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>

<p> </p>
<p>The album debuted at No. 1 on <em>Billboard</em>’s Top Current Albums chart, which was Halsey’s third overall chart-topper.</p>
<p>In our <a href="https://www.spin.com/2021/08/halsey-if-i-cant-have-love-i-want-power-album-review/">review</a> around the time of the album’s release, we wrote that Halsey’s “<em>IICHLIWP</em> will satiate listeners who have yearned for a “rocksy” or “punksy” album and perhaps expand her already wide fanbase.” The album also landed our Staff Picks <a href="https://www.spin.com/2021/12/best-albums-songs-2021/">list</a> of the best albums and songs of 2021.</p>

<p>A few days before what would have been his 75th birthday, <a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/david-bowie">David Bowie</a>‘s estate has sold the Starman’s entire catalog to Warner Chappell. According to <a href="https://variety.com/2022/music/news/david-bowie-publishing-catalog-acquired-warner-chappell-1235145941/"><em>Variety</em></a>, which was first to report the news, the catalog is fetching “upwards of $250 million.”</p>
<p>The deal for the Bowie catalog includes all of the songs from the 26 studio albums that he released while alive and his upcoming posthumous studio <a href="https://www.spin.com/2021/09/unreleased-david-bowie-album-toy-will-be-released-next-year/">album</a> <em>Toy</em>. The deal also includes his works with Tin Machine as well as songs from soundtracks and additional projects.</p>
<p>David Bowie’s laundry list of hits doesn’t really need to be stated, but the deal includes songs like “Space Oddity,” “Changes,” “Starman,” “Young Americans,” “Heroes,” “Let’s Dance” and so many more.</p>
<p>Last year, the Bowie estate entered an agreement with Warner Music Group to license the worldwide rights to his catalog, beginning in 1968.</p>
<p>“All of us at Warner Chappell are immensely proud that the David Bowie estate has chosen us to be the caretakers of one of the most groundbreaking, influential, and enduring catalogs in music history. These are not only extraordinary songs, but milestones that have changed the course of modern music forever,” Warner Chappell Music CEO Guy Moot said. “Bowie’s vision and creative genius drove him to push the envelope, lyrically and musically – writing songs that challenged convention, changed the conversation, and have become part of the canon of global culture. His work spanned massive pop hits and experimental adventures that have inspired millions of fans and countless innovators, not only in music, but across all the arts, fashion, and media. We are looking forward to tending his unparalleled body of songs with passion and care as we strive to build on the legacy of this most extraordinary human being.”</p>
<p>“We are truly gratified that David Bowie’s body of music will now be in the capable hands of Warner Chappell Music Publishing. We are sure they will cherish it and take care of it with the greatest level of dignity,” attorney Allen Grubman said in a statement on behalf of the David Bowie estate and RZO.</p>
<p>As impressive as the $250 million deal seems, it is still about half of what Bruce Springsteen received last year for his catalog when he got around $500 million.</p>
<p>Bowie died on January 10, 2016, after releasing his final album, the lauded <em>Blackstar</em>. It was also two days after the Thin White Duke turned 69. He had been privately battling cancer.</p>

<p>Talk about starting the year off with a bang. After a fairly busy year that saw him feature on and drop some singles, <a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/the-weekend">The Weeknd</a> is kicking off 2022 in style.</p>
<p>On Monday morning, The Weeknd announced that his latest album will be released this Friday, January 7. Titled <em>Dawn FM</em>, the album will feature a slew of special guests including frequent collaborator Oneohtrix Point Never, Quincy Jones, Tyler, the Creator, Lil Wayne and Jim Carrey. Yes, your eyes don’t deceive you, the new Weeknd album will feature none other than Ace Ventura himself.</p>
<p>Back in August, the artist also known as Abel Tesfaye shared the album’s first single, “Take My Breath,” which was as strong as anything he’s released so far. In an Instagram post two days ago, Tesfaye explained why the time was right for the new Weeknd album to drop now.</p>

<p>Ahead of Friday’s release, The Weeknd dropped a brief teaser trailer.</p>
<div class="ast-oembed-container"><iframe style="width: 700px; height: 394px;" title="Dawn FM Trailer" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/u5IrGXTpSkc?feature=oembed" width="700" height="394" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p>This summer, he’ll be performing in stadiums as part of what now will be a dual <em>After Hours </em>and <em>Dawn FM</em> tour. If his Super Bowl halftime show <a href="https://www.spin.com/2021/02/the-weeknd-super-bowl-performance/">appearance</a> is any indication of what’s to come, then it should be pretty memorable.</p>
<p>In addition to his musical endeavors, The Weeknd has a show coming out on HBO titled <em>The Idol</em> with Euphoria creator Sam Levinson.</p>

<p>Since creating his Instagram account in 2013, the rock icon has posted a slew of pictures taken at unique spots while on tour with the Stones.</p>
<p>Attention to his account has since recently picked up, notably beginning in 2019, when the Stones began their ‘No Filter’ tour – thanks to images of Jagger visiting spots usually only frequented by locals. One incognito visit he made to a Charlotte, North Carolina establishment called the Thirsty Beaver Saloon made <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/mick-jagger-goes-unnoticed-n-c-bar-night-rolling-stones-n1280553" target="_blank" rel="noopener">US headlines</a> in October.</p>
<p>In a recent interview with <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/entertainment/music/mick-jagger-instagram-tour/2021/12/29/09f8d19c-6726-11ec-96f3-b8d3be309b6e_story.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>The Washington Post</em></a>, Jagger revealed how he picked unique places to visit while on the road. “Each town has something of great interest, whether it’s a beautiful park, or a lovely picture, or a museum that’s interesting to you, or some odd thing that you never thought of”, he said, adding that planning is key when the band’s time in a city is limited.</p>

<p>When asked specifically how he discovered the Thirsty Beaver, Jagger explained: “Local people tell me that that’s a popular dive bar when I get there. In normal times, I would go into the bar and spend time in there. But, you know, I didn’t want to do that because of covid. So I just went outside.”</p>
<p>He added that sometimes, he’ll do “the typical tourist thing like the St. Louis Arch” at “certain times of the day” when “there’s not so many people”.</p>

<p>Jagger has also made it a point to explore hiking trails, explaining: “Touring’s a pretty urban thing, so it’s nice to get out in nature and see a different perspective on things when you go to places like that. It’s wild. I went for some long hikes in some of these other places where I didn’t take any pictures.”</p>
<p>Jagger also shared that other members of the band don’t usually follow him on his adventures, saying that <a href="https://www.nme.com/artists/keith-richards">Keith Richards</a>, for instance, “has a different approach to how he handles being on tour. I mean, he does occasionally go out to eat. But I think the covid thing… people quite rightly got worried about what would happen if they ran into a crowd of people.”</p>

<p><a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/perfume-genius">Perfume Genius</a> rang in the new year with a <a href="https://vimeo.com/661641751">remix</a> of “Lightning Crashes,” the standout track from <a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/live">Live</a>‘s 1994 album <em>Throwing Copper</em>.

<p>“What if the angel never opened their eyes? What if the confusion never set in? Something to think about as we start this new year,” Hadreas wrote about the remix.</p>

<p>Last year threw us one last middle finger on Dec. 31 and took away Betty White, just weeks before her 100th birthday. Tributes to the beloved actress came pouring in immediately, including one from <a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/josh-klinghoffer">Josh Klinghoffer</a>. The former <a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/red-hot-chili-peppers">Red Hot Chili Peppers</a> guitarist shared a cover of the <em>Golden Girls </em>theme song on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/tv/CYLF3DnF-3B">Instagram</a> along with a thoughtful end-of-year message.</p>
<p>“Outside my window is the last dusk of 2021. Not quite sure what to say about this year. As always, it seems like it just begun and at the same time so much has happened this year, I guess,” he wrote. “I’ll keep it brief. I had to be poked to check in here because my tendency, as some might know, is to stay away from these awful websites.”</p>
<p>“There has been a lot of loss lately, a lot of endings,” Klinghoffer continued. “It’s happening all the time everywhere, but these past few weeks have seen the loss of a few important people in my life. I rarely feel like I have any wisdom to share, but the son of the creator of the show I have included the theme song to said this, and I think it’s just brilliant. He said (something like), ‘We are all experts at being exactly who we were the day before.'”</p>
<p>He then gave followers some ideas for potential resolutions. “As it’s a beginning of sorts, tomorrow, perhaps try and do something differently,” he suggested. “Make that call. Start that book. Go and breathe outside. Put an end to that fight. Feel. Try and mend some of the broken things you see around you, inside and out. Live life knowing you don’t have forever as all lives tend toward ending.”</p>
<p>For Klinghoffer, 2022 will bring a new album under his moniker <a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/pluralone">Pluralone</a>. See his tribute to Betty White below.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/miley-cyrus">Miley Cyrus</a> spent New Year’s Eve hosting a special in Miami to a crowd of fully-vaccinated party goers. During the festivities, the singer performed two songs with <a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/brandi-carlile">Brandi Carlile</a> — the singer-songwriter’s 2007 hit “The Story” and the <em>Hannah Montana </em>era anthem “The Climb.”</p>
<p class="p1">“How lucky am I that I get to ring in 2022 singing one of my favorite songs of all time with one of my favorite artists of all time,” Cyrus declared midway through “The Story.” “It’s chicks like her that make me want to do what I do.”</p>
<div class="ast-oembed-container"><iframe style="width: 698px; height: 393px;" title="Miley Cyrus and Brandi Carlile Perform “The Story” and “The Climb” | Miley’s New Year’s Eve on NBC" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/X_vdiP7GMKU?start=245&feature=oembed" width="698" height="393" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p> </p>
<p><em>Miley’s New Year’s Eve Party </em>also saw the host debut a new song called “You” and take on a cover of Dolly Parton’s “Jolene” with her sister Noah and Will Smith’s <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vbj_WbVb4gs&feature=emb_logo&ab_channel=NBC">“Miami”</a> with co-host Pete Davidson. Carlile also put her spin on Bonnie Tyler’s “Total Eclipse of the Heart.”</p>

<p> </p>
<p>But perhaps the most talked about part of the night was Cyrus’ wardrobe malfunction during “Party in the U.S.A.” After losing her top, the singer ran backstage and came back wearing a blazer with nothing under it.</p>
<p class="p1">“Everybody’s definitely looking at me now,” she said after coming back out and continuing the song. “I’m still in the most clothes that I’ve ever worn on stage.”</p>

<p class="p1">“Tonight’s show was all about being flexible, rolling with the punches, and making the best out of even the worst circumstances. And that resilience shouldn’t end here. Let’s bring that into the New Year with us,” Cyrus later told the crowd. “We’ve all learned how to expect the unexpected, and rather than see it as a problem, let’s see it as an opportunity. I wish everyone here in Miami and everyone watching from home a happy and healthy 2022. Thank you for making tonight possible. You were really all that I needed to have the ultimate party.”</p>

<ul>
<li><strong>READ MORE: <a href="https://www.nme.com/features/music-interviews/garbage-shirley-manson-no-gods-no-masters-billie-eilish-2962674">Garbage: “If you’re as successful as we were in the ‘90s, that is a burden”</a></strong></li>
</ul>
<p>The record, <a href="https://www.nme.com/news/music/garbage-announce-20th-anniversary-reissue-of-beautiful-garbage-3021385">which was recently reissued to mark its 20th anniversary</a>, “died on a vine” when it was first released according to the singer despite landing at Number Six in the Official UK albums chart.</p>
<p>“I honestly thought that was the end of my career and that we were never going to recover,” she told<a href="https://www.loudersound.com/news/shirley-manson-in-the-90s-i-was-described-as-a-crazy-angry-feminist" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em> Classic Rock</em></a> magazine. “It took a long time for us as a band to regain our equilibrium and our confidence and our joy.”</p>
<p>She added: “Joy is of monumental importance when you’re an artist, particularly in an industry that has become so hard. So to realise that you’ve regained something at this late stage in your life and career feels like unexpected treasure.”</p>
<p><iframe title="Garbage - Androgyny (Rough Mix)" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/VZlMOsP1_14?feature=oembed" width="696" height="392" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" loading="lazy"></iframe></p>
<p>Manson also said even now, the band always “expect the worst” when they release new material.</p>
<p>She continued: “We are always quite surprised when we get a positive reaction. It’s not something we really expect or are accustomed to.”</p>
<p>This year saw Garbage release their seventh studio effort, <a href="https://www.nme.com/reviews/album/garbage-no-gods-no-masters-review-2963417">‘No Gods No Masters’</a>. In a four-star review, <em>NME</em> hailed the project as the group’s “best album in 20 years – at least – but one that could only have been made now”.</p>
<div id="jwplayer-video-SNJMte4g"></div>
<p>It added: “Seven albums and nearly 30 years into their career, these veterans have pulled off a record that’s seductive in its sound and resonant in its message, as well as proving a triumph in showcasing not only the lineage that led to Garbage but also their mastery of alt-tinged dark-pop that led us the likes of <a href="https://www.nme.com/artists/chvrches">Chvrches</a> and <a href="https://www.nme.com/artists/lana-del-rey">Lana Del Rey</a> – with even newbies <a href="https://www.nme.com/artists/rina-sawayama">Rina Sawayama</a> and <a href="https://www.nme.com/artists/OLIVIA-RODRIGO">Olivia Rodrigo</a> counting them as influences.”</p>

<p>Timbaland took to Instagram to share the clip, captioning it: “Soon to come”, followed by four pairs of eyes.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/the-red-pears">The Red Pears</a> have a thing for authenticity.</p>
<p>Since 2014, Henry Vargas (vocals and guitar), Jose Corona (drums), and Patrick Juarez (bass) have been steadily pounding it out at packed house parties, backyard shows, and DIY venues around Southern California. Along the way, they’ve earned a reputation for intimate and intense performances, organically growing into one of the region’s most exciting live acts, playing SXSW, Tropicalia, and Coachella. Their brand of fiery garage rock is influenced by ‘90s alternative, grunge, and the early 2000s work of The Strokes, The White Stripes, The Black Keys, and Arctic Monkeys, but impressively manages to carve out its own unique identity based on honesty, humor, and hard work.</p>
<p>The Red Pears also have a thing for long album titles.</p>
<p>Their self-released 2015 debut is titled <em>We Bring Anything to the Table…Except Tables We Can’t Bring Tables to the Tables</em>. It was followed by 2018’s <em>For Today, for Tomorrow, for What Is, for What Could’ve Been</em>. Both were recorded by the band at Corona’s family home which is also a neighborhood daycare center. In October they released their third full-length. It’s called <em>You Thought We Left Because the Door Was Open but We Were Waiting Outside</em>. It’s also The Red Pears’ first album made in a proper studio setting but, despite the upgrades, they remained committed to keeping it real.</p>
<p>“We wanted it to sound how it would sound live,” Vargas told <em>SPIN</em> over the phone ahead of a November show at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco. “I didn’t want it to sound any different than we already sounded. I just wanted it to be captured better.”</p>
<p>And <em>You Thought We Left</em> delivers.</p>

</figure>
<p>The album is a lean, funny, compelling eight-song collection that smartly leaves listeners wanting more. It was recorded in a fevered five-day period at Sonic Ranch in the bordertown of Tornillo, Texas, with producers Kenny Tye and Manuel Calderon (El Cosmophonico). The resulting tracks are warm and raw. Songs like “Not in the Cards” and “Twisted Colours” are an excellent representation of the true essence of the band, in part because the band opted not to use any of the legendary studio’s fancy vintage gear. Instead, they relied on their own instruments like Vargas’ $200 Squire Telecaster and Corona’s well-worn drum kit. Even the all-acrylic instrument set up in the video for lead single “House of Mirrors,” directed by Justin La Turno, was purchased then quickly returned after the shoot. “That gear always worked for us,” said Vargas “So we never tried to improve or go for something more expensive.”</p>
<div class="ast-oembed-container"><iframe style="width: 699px; height: 394px;" title="The Red Pears - House of Mirrors (Official Music Video)" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/WIZvCAev4u0?feature=oembed" width="699" height="394" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p>The Red Pears definitely have a thing for their hometown. El Monte is a diverse, low-key community of roughly 120,000 near the northeast corner of Los Angeles County. The video for “House of Mirrors” was shot at Vargas and Corona’s alma mater, Mountain View High School. It’s not far from the former site of the El Monte Legion Stadium, a massive high school sports complex that became an important early R&B, doo-wop, and rock venue. It’s where syndicated radio DJ Art Laboe promoted racially integrated shows by acts like Ritchie Valens, Ike & Tina, Johnny Otis, Ray Charles, Sam Cooke, and the Grateful Dead. It was immortalized in The Penguins’ (“Earth Angel”) <a href="https://youtu.be/MZ0odI8W2U4">1963 oddity</a> “Memories of El Monte,” written and produced by a pre-Mothers of Invention Frank Zappa.</p>

<p>Now The Red Pears are regularly playing venues where just a few years ago they were seeing their heroes. This fall they completed a big tour including two sold-out nights supporting Beach Fossils and Wild Nothing at L.A.’s Wiltern Theater, where, as high school students they shared wristbands to sneak onto the floor to catch Arctic Monkeys touring on their album AM. The irony of this is not lost on the band who approached these shows, and their entire career, with a trademark humility. When asked if there was anything they’d like to share with their fans, the band’s message is full of gratitude: “Thank you so much for being here, for taking the time to be here,” said Vargas. “You could have been anywhere in the world, but you’re here at our show. You’re working and you’re spending your hard-earned money to be here, and it means a lot, you know?”</p>

<p>“We have to figure out how to move this franchise on without that character because we all feel so much of T’Challa in the MCU on the screen is tied to Chadwick’s performance,” he said before adding that “the challenge for <em>Black Panther: Wakanda Forever</em> is telling a story without T’Challa.”</p>
<div id="jwplayer-video-2xfknANc"></div>
<p>Despite this, <a href="https://www.nme.com/news/film/black-panther-fans-call-on-marvel-to-recast-the-films-lead-character-tchalla-3127255">a fan petition has called for the character to be recast</a> as has <a href="https://www.nme.com/news/film/chadwick-bosemans-brother-says-late-actor-would-want-black-panther-recast-3119365">Boseman’s brother Derrick. </a></p>
<p>According to<em> TMZ</em>, Derrick thinks that “there’s so much power in seeing a Black king” on screen in terms of the effect it has on the “African-American youth”. By not recasting the character, Marvel is “depriving Black kids of a role model”.</p>

<p>“I was geeked af. Everyone who knows me knows how obsessed I am with Uffie,” Miss Madeline says of their fall face-to-face at Uffie’s house. “She texted me asking for my drink of choice…I will save this screenshot forever.”</p>
<p>They bonded over Moscow Mules, chatting about all things music and even shared some unreleased tracks. And yes, they talked about boys. “A perfect evening if you ask me,” Miss Madeline adds.</p>
<p>“I really loved her nonchalance and don’t-give-a-fuck confidence, and had fun chatting about being women in the industry and past lovers,” Uffie says.</p>
<p>Miss Madeline’s first EP <em>Polo Perks</em>was released on December 7. “It’s been really exciting creating a cohesive collection/body of work….and rewarding!” she says, describing her sound as “provocative pop”. “I felt really inspired by my producer and collaborator, Chicken…and one of the first things we bonded over was our love for Uffie.”</p>
<p>When asked what it feels like to be a trailblazer, Uffie only says, modestly: “Always look forward, babes.” No doubt her artsy alt-electro-rap-dance sound and performances have bonded many over her decade-and-a-half-long career. “When I first started I was making music to have to play live, as I started touring so quickly; now my time is much more studio-focused,” she explains. “Although the aspect of bringing that world I created into a live setting is still a magical part of it.”</p>
<p>And what does Uffie love most about Miss Madeline’s new EP? “Her attitude,” Uffie says.</p>
<p>Here are two days in the lives of two pop star friends.</p>

</ul>
<p>As reported by <em><a href="https://www.reuters.com/business/media-telecom/us-reality-tv-star-paris-hilton-launches-metaverse-business-roblox-2021-12-28/?taid=61cb4f7692a8110001a63249&utm_campaign=trueAnthem:+Trending+Content&utm_medium=trueAnthem&utm_source=twitter" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Reuters</a>, </em>Hilton’s new media company 11:11 Media has launched the island, Paris World, inside of <em>Roblox. </em>Fans can visit the island for free where there is a replica of her Beverly Hills mansion and attached dog mansion, as well as a recreation of her neon carnival inspired wedding.</p>
<p>“For me, the metaverse is somewhere that you can do everything you can do in real life in the digital world,” Hilton said, “Not everybody gets to experience that, so that’s what we’ve been working together on over the past year — giving them all my inspirations of what I want in that world.”</p>
<figure id="attachment_3075059" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 2000px;" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-3075059"><img src="https://www.nme.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/roblox-edc-world-party.jpg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="World Party, EDC in Roblox" height="445" width="700" /></figure>
<p>Paris World will include microtransactions, where fans can pay in exchange for virtual outfits or for a ride on a jet-ski around the island. Hilton is hoping to attract fans to the island by performing a virtual set on New Year’s Eve. In the real world Hilton charges up to $1million (£750,000) per night for her DJ performances.</p>
<p>Hilton previously stepped into the NFT arena, working with designer Blake Kathryn to design and sell three unique art NFTs. Sold in an online auction, the most expensive piece sold for more than $1.1million (£820,000). Following this success 11:11 media looked into other forms of online income.</p>
<p>“The final piece of the digital space is the metaverse,” says Bruce Gersh, a veteran media executive working in collaboration with Hilton. “We think that there’s a real opportunity for Paris to influence, even at a younger level than who her core customer is. We’ve built a fantastic, whimsical world that we believe her fans and new fans will just love.”</p>

Now, in a new video, Motörhead’s longtime tour manager Eddie Rocha and production assistant Emma Cederblad can be seen getting new tattoos honouring Lemmy using ink mixed with his ashes.</p>
<p>“Motörhead means family for life,” a caption begins the video. Rocha and Cederblad are then seen sitting for tattoo artist Stina Nyman to receive their Motörhead-themed ink work. Rocha got a Lemmy portrait tattooed on his leg, while Cederblad had a ‘spade’ tattoo inked on her leg.</p>
<p>The tattoo tributes come during a period that celebrates Lemmy’s 76th birthday (December 24) and the anniversary of his death (December 28).</p>

<p><a href="https://www.nme.com/news/music/ozzy-osbourne-hails-motorheads-lemmy-kilmister-as-his-personal-rock-god-2948801">Ozzy Osbourne recently hailed Lemmy as his own “rock god” in a new tribute</a>. The <a href="https://www.nme.com/artists/black-sabbath">Black Sabbath</a> frontman opened up on his love of the Motörhead singer when asked about the artists who inspire him, in an interview with BBC Radio 2’s Johnny Walker back in May.</p>
<p>Osbourne followed it up in October with <a href="https://www.nme.com/news/music/watch-animated-video-for-ozzy-osbourne-and-lemmy-kilmisters-reworked-hellraiser-duet-3083212">a new version of ‘Hellraiser’ featuring a duet with Lemmy</a>.</p>
<p>Lemmy co-wrote ‘Hellraiser’ with Osbourne for the latter’s 1991 album ‘No More Tears’. Motörhead later recorded their own version of the song and released it as a single from their 1992 album ‘March Ör Die’.</p>
<div id="jwplayer-video-ueoM3vTB"></div>
<p>The track appears on the <a href="https://www.nme.com/news/music/ozzy-osbourne-announces-no-more-tears-reissue-for-30th-anniversary-3008367">expanded 30th anniversary reissue of Osbourne’s ‘No More Tears’ album</a>, which was released on September 17.</p>
<p>Osbourne explained in a statement that the new version was made in memory of his friend. “I hope everyone enjoys the song,” Osbourne said in a press release. “This is just a small way to honour my friend Lemmy. Sharon and I talk a lot about how much we miss him.”</p>

</ul>
<p>The hit <a href="https://www.nme.com/brands/hbo">HBO</a> drama, which premiered earlier this year, follows a small-town detective (Kate Winslet’s Mare) as she investigates the murder of teen Erin McMenamin. <a href="https://www.nme.com/news/tv/kate-winslet-celebrates-middle-aged-imperfect-mare-of-easttown-character-emmys-2021-3049601">Winslet went on to win Lead Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie at the 2021 Emmys</a> for the performance.</p>
<p>Though a second season of the show has yet to be confirmed, Winslet has previously spoken about the possibility, and opened up in a new interview with <em><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2021/dec/23/kate-winslet-i-feel-way-cooler-as-a-fortysomething-actress-than-i-ever-imagined" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the Guardian</a></em> about possible storylines for a second outing.</p>
<p>“I don’t know if I’m going to be playing Mare again,” Winslet said. “But if we were to do a second season, then for sure these atrocities which have existed in the police force here and in America will find their way into the stories we tell.</p>
<p>“One hundred percent. You can’t pretend these things haven’t happened. It’s horrible, isn’t it? This moment in time. It’s horrific.”</p>

<p>She added: “You can hear me, I can’t quite find the words because we all feel so betrayed and powerless. We have to turn this moment into something meaningful.</p>
<p>“We have to use our voices on behalf of people who don’t have one. That matters to me now in ways that hadn’t even crossed my mind in my 20s.”</p>
<p>Back in August, <a href="https://www.nme.com/news/mare-of-easttown-season-2-kate-winslet-creator-some-very-cool-ideas-3012184">Winslet spoke about the possibility of <em>Mare Of Easttown</em> returning for a second season</a>, saying the show’s creator Brad Inglesby had “some very cool ideas” about where it could go next. “Creatively, Brad has shared some very cool ideas. We will see what happens,” she said.</p>
<p>“I also have to figure out if I can do it. Can I go through it again? It did cost me a lot emotionally to be her, and I have to figure out if I can summon it all up again and do it again.”</p>
<div id="jwplayer-video-n1nAsVAr"></div>
<p>Mare Of Easttown was named among <a href="https://www.nme.com/features/nme-best-tv-shows-of-the-year-2021-3113636"><em>NME</em>‘s top 10 TV shows of 2021</a>, with <a href="https://www.nme.com/reviews/tv-reviews/mare-of-easttown-review-kate-winslet-2923609">a four-star review</a> writing: “Grumpy, bullish and beaten down after years of tragedy, Sheehan is one of Winslet’s bleakest characters yet. She’s also one of her best. Puffing on an electronic cigarette as the drama slowly unfolds (she faces losing custody of her young grandson, too), Mare has a special type of resilience needed to survive in a male-dominated line of work, where every one of her decisions is scrutinised more than a male colleague’s would be.</p>
<p>“Come for the smalltown mystery that grips as much as it depresses. Stay for the magnetic performance from a real screen legend.”</p>

<p>it was announced that <a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/brad-pitt">Brad Pitt</a> was going to reopen recording studio <a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/studio-miraval">Studio Miraval</a> on his winery, Chateau Miraval, in the South of France. At first glance, this may appear to some like another celebrity vanity project. However, this is anything but that.</p>
<p>In case you’re unaware, Studio Miraval is one of the legendary studios in music history. Albums like the Rolling Stones’ <em>Exile on Main Street</em> and Pink Floyd’s <em>The Wall</em> were recorded there. Studio Miraval has also hosted sessions by luminaries like The Cure, Sting, Sade and The Cranberries. Not too shabby.</p>
<p>What made this studio such an attraction at its height was its location on the French Riviera. The land by Studio Miraval consists of three houses where artists lived while recording, with both a swimming pool and chef on-site.</p>
<p>Studio Miraval is also huge (approximately 3,000 square feet) with a 650-square-foot control room, so it’s not like they were working with nothing.</p>
<p>Pitt and former partner Angelina Jolie bought Chateau Miraval in 2012. When they divorced, Pitt kept the wine business and studio.</p>
<p>For two decades, the studio sat dormant, until Pitt and French producer Damien Quintard jumpstarted the efforts for its reopening. Fortunately for the duo, all of the equipment was in good working order even after the time off, making it easy to push forward.</p>
<p>Studio Miraval will reopen next summer, so we spoke with Quintard to go inside the process of rebuilding the legendary space.</p>

<p><strong>SPIN: Why was the time right now?</strong><br><strong>Damien Quintard:</strong> I think that after nearly two decades, we both felt that it was the right time to revive the iconic studio. We were feeling that it was some kind of beast of creativity that was asleep and we had to wake it up! Hard to say exactly why, sometimes things just click together and you just have to do it, both professionally and personally.</p>
<p><strong>How much work went into building the studio? What needed rebuilding?</strong><br>At the time, it was a state-of-the-art recording studio, so much work had gone into making it acoustically and technologically efficient. Plus, they had the same challenges as we have now because the studio is in a historic building — one of the first reinforced concrete buildings in the world — so we want to preserve this unique heritage and also make it a functioning recording studio.</p>
<p>It was one of the most complicated decisions in my life: renovate or rebuild. What made the difference was that their design in the ’70s didn’t leave much space for natural light and the entire studio was bathed in darkness. Being in the South of France, the light is fantastic and we really wanted to use that as much as I could. We couldn’t build a studio for the future if it was going to be dark. So we took the time to preserve anything we could, from the precious gear to iconic structures, and we started the rebuilding of the entire studio in the search of a feeling of openness and a communion with nature.</p>
<p><strong>Did you consider replacing some of the equipment and modernizing it? Or was that never an option?</strong><br>So many great records were done there, so we really had to preserve the original microphones, the console, and anything that was used back then. It’s part of our history and being able to give artists of our day the possibility to record on the same mics that Roger Waters or George Michael used is part of what makes Miraval Studios so magical. Obviously, we had to review everything so we could insert the latest modern technology, but always with the intention of preserving all of that vintage goodness. When you play with an analog machine and notice that there’s an “AC/DC” preset, you know people had a good time there.</p>
<p><strong>Were there any challenges getting back to form while preserving its history?</strong><br>Absolutely. When you start testing vintage equipment after 20 years, you should prepare yourself for some big surprises! That’s what we’re dealing with right now and my team is on it 24/7 to get everything ready for the opening.</p>
<p><strong>How seriously do you take being the caretaker of the space’s legacy?</strong><br>It’s an honor and a privilege. It’s a difficult balance between respect and humility to this glorious past and, at the same time, not being too afraid to change things and innovate. I think the true legacy of Miraval is the will to move forward, and that’s what Brad and I are very attached to doing.</p>
<p><strong>Did you run into any technical difficulties with the space?</strong><br>Because the new design is based on light, I wanted to create a recording studio that doesn’t look like a bunker. One of our main challenges was to build an enormous glass separation between the control room and the live room. We worked for months on simulations and calculations to get a good-sounding control room that has a 180° field of view with full transparency! One of a kind!</p>
<p><strong>Who was the last artist to record there? Who will reopen it?</strong><br>One of the last bands to record there was Muse for some early recordings of their album <em>Black Holes and Revelations</em>. We’ll be announcing in 2022 on our social media who will be the first acts!</p>
<p><strong>How hands-on were you and Brad in the rebuilding process?</strong><br>I was lucky to have Brad’s eye and support during the whole phase of the design. He’s got such an eye for all those details that make something simple and great. We’re both hands-on in the rebuilding process and, because I’m in France and it’s my design, I obviously get to spend more time on site to make sure we’re going in the right direction.</p>
<p><strong>What will separate the revamped studio from potential competitors? What advantages will artists have to record there?</strong><br>It’s hard to put it in words. At this level, all the recording studios are expected to have top-of-the-line gear and historic equipment, and at Miraval Studios, we’ll be covering all these bases and more. I believe that what makes Miraval so unique is Miraval itself! The light, the air, the nature and this incredible domain. Overall, this fantastic feeling of inspiration you get when you set foot there — like a reservoir of feelings that you can draw upon to reach beautiful levels of creativity. Words just don’t do it any justice. Hopefully, the songs created and recorded there will give you a better sense of what Miraval is.</p>
<p><strong>How have some of the studio’s alumni responded?</strong><br>We’ve been overwhelmed by the positive response to the project! I think it’s a little piece of history people want to see come alive again and I’d like to thank everyone supporting us in this adventure.</p>
<p><strong>What are you most excited about when it comes to the reopening?</strong><br>The first take.</p>

<p>“The Legacy of T’Challa as the Black Panther shouldn’t end with Chadwick, it should start with him. Continue what he started,” one wrote.</p>

<p>Earlier this month, Derrick Boseman told <a href="https://www.tmz.com/2021/12/14/chadwick-boseman-tchalla-recast-black-panther-brother/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>TMZ</em></a> that he believes Chadwick would want his character, T’Challa, to live on in the MCU – despite Marvel bosses saying they didn’t want to recast him out of respect.</p>
<p>Boseman said that T’Challa “was bigger than one guy” and that Chadwick “knew the power of the character”.</p>
<p>Last month <a href="https://www.nme.com/news/film/chadwick-bosemans-tchalla-wont-be-recast-says-mcu-boss-3096043">Marvel’s VP of Development dispelled rumours that T’Challa would be recast</a>.</p>

<p>Moore went on to say that he had discussed potential decisions with <em>Black Panther: Wakanda Forever</em> director Ryan Coogler, but the pair had decided they “couldn’t do it”.</p>
<div id="jwplayer-video-2xfknANc"></div>
<p>“We have to figure out how to move this franchise on without that character,” he went on. “Because I think we all feel so much of T’Challa in the MCU on the screen…is tied to Chadwick’s performance.</p>
<p>“The challenge for <em>Black Panther: Wakanda Forever</em> is telling a story without T’Challa.”</p>

<p>The band were due to perform at the Caverns in Pelham, Tennessee on December 30 and 31.</p>
<p>But the gigs have now been put back to February 19-20 in 2022 due to the rise in <a href="https://www.nme.com/tag/coronavirus">COVID</a> cases in the US.</p>
<p>“The Flaming Lips and The Caverns are heartbroken to deliver this news, and we know you’re no doubt sad to read it, but the health and safety of guests, staff, crew and everyone on stage is of utmost importance,” the venue and the band announced on Instagram.</p>

<p>“The new dates for the New Year’s celebration are on President’s Day Weekend…. And yes, it will still be a New Year’s celebration of epic proportions! Wayne and the band feel strongly about ringing in the New Year with you!”</p>
<p>All tickets remain valid for the new shows.</p>
<p>The postponement comes after <a href="https://www.nme.com/artists/the-strokes">The Strokes</a> were also <a href="https://www.nme.com/news/music/the-strokes-postpone-new-years-eve-gig-in-brooklyn-due-to-omicron-spike-3126137">recently forced to postpone their New Year’s Eve show at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center in New York due to a spike in Omicron cases</a>.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, The Flaming Lips and young fan Nell Smith recently teamed up for <a href="https://www.nme.com/artists/nick-cave">Nick Cave</a> <a href="https://www.nme.com/news/music/the-flaming-lips-team-up-with-young-fan-for-new-nick-cave-covers-album-3035536">covers album ‘When The Viaduct Looms’</a>.</p>
<p>“It is always great to meet excited, young creative people. With Nell we could see she is on a journey and thought it would be fun to join her for a while and see if we could get things going,” Coyne said at the time.</p>
<div id="jwplayer-video-A9voX4QG"></div>
<p>“It was a great way to connect with her and help harness her cool attitude to making music.”</p>
<p>The band also recently performed <a href="https://www.nme.com/news/music/watch-the-flaming-lips-perform-mother-ive-taken-lsd-on-fallon-3060665">‘Mother I’ve Taken LSD’ from the group’s 2020 album, ‘American Head’, on <em>The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy </em><em>Fallon</em></a>.</p>

<p>“If I had to cast a ballot – no, not a ballot, a vote – I would say that Lana would not do another Matrix,” he added.</p>
<p>Producer James McTeigue also confirmed there are no plans for any more Matrix movies.</p>

<p>“At the moment, it’s just the movie you’ve seen,” he told <a href="https://collider.com/matrix-resurrections-sequels-meta-dialogue-james-mcteigue-interview-lana-wachowski/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Collider</em></a>. “We’ve got no prequel in mind. We’ve got no sequel in mind. We’ve got no further trilogy.”</p>
<p>It comes after the film struggled at the box office, taking in just $22.5million (£16.7million) by December 26 in the US. The latest box office figures for the UK are yet to be released.</p>
<p><em>The Matrix: Resurrections</em> was released in the UK on December 22. <a href="https://www.nme.com/reviews/film-reviews/the-matrix-resurrections-review-a-nostalgia-heavy-red-pill-of-a-blockbuster-3123106">In a three-star review of the film</a>, <em>NME</em> said: “The inventive fight scenes are definitely bracing if you’ve seen one too many toothless superhero movies, and there are some memorable performances.</p>
<p>“Along the way, Wachowski weaves in some timely ideas about human nature and complacency, and the fundamental importance of love. This doesn’t lead the film to an entirely satisfying climax, but it definitely gets you thinking.”</p>
<p><a href="https://www.nme.com/news/film/keanu-reeves-carrie-anne-moss-deeper-neo-trinity-the-matrix-resurrections-3123262">Speaking to <em>NME</em> ahead of the movie’s release</a>, Reeves said he wanted to return to the character Neo because of “life experience and all of [what] that entails, the highs and the lows and all of the in-betweens”.</p>
<p>“For me, I felt like the character and the journey of it is kind of an examination of the past; how do I feel about it and where am I now,” he said. “What does it mean? What’s important? So there was a lot of, not nostalgia, but a reflection and a yearning to understand.”</p>

<p>Meanwhile, Lana Wachowski recently <a href="https://www.nme.com/news/film/lana-wachowski-writing-the-matrix-4-helped-grieve-parents-3126616">said writing <em>The Matrix: Resurrections</em> helped her cope with grief after her parents died</a>.</p>

<p>As well as starring in and creating the hit TV show, Rae also runs a label called Raedio, an imprint of Atlantic Records, and curated <em>Insecure</em>’s tastemaking soundtrack.</p>
<p>In an interview with <a href="https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/music/story/2021-12-26/issa-rae-insecure-music-industry" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>the LA Times</em></a>, the star was asked if the music industry struck her “as a place where good ideas flourish”. “Absolutely not,” she replied. “It’s probably the worst industry that I have ever come across. I thought Hollywood was crazy.</p>
<p>“The music industry, it needs to start over. Conflicts of interest abound. Archaic mentalities. Crooks and criminals! It’s an abusive industry, and I really feel for artists that have to come up in it.”</p>
<figure id="attachment_2959248" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 2000px;" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-2959248"><img src="https://www.nme.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Isa-Rae-to-play-Spider-Woman-.jpg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="Issa Rae" height="443" width="697" /></figure>
<p>Rae called seeing that side of the industry “kind of shocking”. “I don’t want to get too specific, but even in crafting our own deals [for soundtracks] with labels or artists, it would be so convoluted,” she explained.</p>
<p>“And finding out how artists were treated at other labels… Being a creator myself and knowing what I want in terms of a relationship with a production company or a producer, I’d like to think that [at Raedio] we’re more artist-friendly than a lot of other labels and companies out there. I want to revamp things.”</p>

<p>In January, <a href="https://www.nme.com/news/tv/hbo-confirms-issa-rae-insecure-end-fifth-season-2856861">it was confirmed that the fifth season of <em>Insecure</em> would be its last</a>. The final episode aired in the US this weekend (December 26) and will be broadcast in the UK tonight (28).</p>
<p>“Issa [Rae] has turned insecurity into an iconic form of comedy,” Amy Gravitt, executive vice president of HBO programming, said when the show’s end was announced. “The show is as incisive as it is heartfelt, and it has resonated strongly with its audience because of the deeply personal work that Issa, [producers] Prentice [Penny], Melina [Matsoukas], the cast and the writers have put into it.”</p>

<p><em>Welcome to the latest edition of <a href="https://www.spin.com/new-music/difficult-fun/">Difficult Fun</a>! Each month, </em>SPIN<em> will spotlight the best punk on the planet and discuss it here, with the ambition of challenging preconceived notions of what the four-letter word actually means and, ideally, entertaining readers in the process. Purists, piss off! Everyone else, enjoy.</em></p>
<p>There was hope at the beginning of 2021, and then there was a slap in the face. <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/19/well/mind/covid-mental-health-languishing.html">We have languished</a>; we have endured an ever-mutating and unforgiving plague; we have survived insurrections from domestic terrorists; the Gulf of Mexico caught on fire. I’d say humanity has proven resilient over the course of the last 12 months, but that’s a word utilized to cast meaning on the meaningless, to make suffering some patriotic endeavor. You could call Sex Pistols’ “No Future” a revelant battle cry, but Johnny Rotten <a href="https://medium.com/the-riff/the-unlikely-connection-between-donald-trump-and-johnny-rotten-d4e7a486ae51">went MAGA</a>. To him we say, “The fascist regime / They made you a moron.”</p>
<p>Yet – and this is the most shallow transition of all time, but there’s no way around it – solace could be found on record. Some turned to pop music to exercise their demons, others found their way back to the pit, resolute to contort their vaccinated bodies because hell, who knew if they’d ever get the chance to do so again. There’s a reason even the most punk averse <a href="https://www.spin.com/featured/turnstile-artist-of-the-year-2021/">fell for the Turnstile</a> record in 2021; it’s a wonderful time to become hardcore-curious. The bands are alright.</p>
<p>And so, December 2021’s edition of Difficult Fun is dedicated to 30 releases that made this shit bearable. In an unusual decision, I’m keeping it as close to punk and its many subgenre offshoots as possible (like, I skipped out on Dark Entries Records’ <a href="https://darkentriesrecords.bandcamp.com/album/back-up-mexican-tecno-pop-1980-1989"><em>Back Up: Mexican Tecno Pop 1980 – 1989</em></a> knowing full well it is one of the year’s best releases, but when we get into the reissue space… that’s likely a second list.) I’ve also elected not to rank these. Flattening art into numbers – and pitting those numbers against one another – only serves to highlight the patriarchal nature of canonical systems, and I ain’t about that. In the music writing business, it is often considered a necessary evil, but this is my party and I’ll piss on tradition if I want to. Enjoy, freaks!</p>
<h2><a href="https://turnstile.lnk.to/GLOWON">Turnstile, <em>Glow On</em></a></h2>
<p>SPIN’s <a href="https://www.spin.com/featured/turnstile-artist-of-the-year-2021/">artist of the year</a> is the Baltimore hardcore band Turnstile and their life-affirming <em>Glow On</em>, and as such, you should already be well-aware of the release’s greatness and its surprises: long breakdowns, Latin rhythms, go-go influence, drum machines. But everyone who has told you this album eclipses the hardcore genre is wrong: instead, it takes familiar sounds into new territory, like all the releases on this list.</p>
<p> </p>
<h2><a href="https://thearmed.bandcamp.com/album/ultrapop">The Armed, <em>ULTRAPOP</em></a></h2>
<p><iframe style="border: 0; width: 350px; height: 470px;" src="https://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=1254413819/size=large/bgcol=ffffff/linkcol=0687f5/tracklist=false/transparent=true/" seamless=""><a href="https://thearmed.bandcamp.com/album/ultrapop">ULTRAPOP by The Armed</a></iframe></p>
<p>Let’s get the obvious picks out of the way first. <em>ULTRAPOP</em> was featured heavily in the <a href="https://www.spin.com/2021/04/difficult-fun-april-2021s-best-punk/">first edition</a> of Difficult Fun. I was enamored with the Detroit collective’s combination of strenuous feedback, chiptune-like MIDI, math-y shredding, and delicate and unrestrained melodies. I still am.</p>
<h2><a href="https://flatspotrecords.bandcamp.com/album/fsr58-how-flowers-grow">Scowl, <em>How Flowers Grow</em></a></h2>
<p><iframe style="border: 0; width: 350px; height: 470px;" src="https://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=2021120342/size=large/bgcol=ffffff/linkcol=0687f5/tracklist=false/transparent=true/" seamless=""><a href="https://flatspotrecords.bandcamp.com/album/fsr58-how-flowers-grow">FSR58 – How Flowers Grow by Scowl</a></iframe></p>
<p>Groovy, saxophone heavy hardcore fronted by the effortless toxicity (and at times, melodic) Kat Moss. If you don’t love them now, you will. And soon.</p>
<h2><a href="https://dollhousenyc.bandcamp.com/album/the-first-day-of-spring?from=embed">Dollhouse, <em>The First Day of Spring</em></a></h2>
<p><iframe style="border: 0; width: 350px; height: 470px;" src="https://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=3957661954/size=large/bgcol=ffffff/linkcol=0687f5/tracklist=false/transparent=true/" seamless=""><a href="https://dollhousenyc.bandcamp.com/album/the-first-day-of-spring">The First Day of Spring by DOLLHOUSE</a></iframe></p>
<p>The next block of bands hail from New York City – NYHC will never die. Dollhouse’s The First Day of Spring marries biting, steel wool hardcore with bright and shiny acoustic guitar melodicism. It’s frustratingly good and it offers a language for these times: “Not caring about yourself isn’t hard / It’s an art.”</p>
<h2><a href="https://sorrystaterecords.bandcamp.com/album/h-stler-ep">Hüstler, <em>Hüstler</em> EP</a></h2>
<p><iframe style="border: 0; width: 350px; height: 470px;" src="https://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=3965858023/size=large/bgcol=ffffff/linkcol=0687f5/tracklist=false/transparent=true/" seamless=""><a href="https://sorrystaterecords.bandcamp.com/album/h-stler-ep">Hüstler EP by Hüstler</a></iframe></p>
<p>Hüstler is death rock x hardcore punk for people who pledge allegiance to nothing (except maybe, like, Rudiementary Peni and Christian Death.) Goths rise up.</p>
<h2><a href="https://lavidaesunmus.bandcamp.com/album/asquerosa-humanidad?from=embed">Porvenir Oscuro, <em>Asquerosa Humanidad</em></a></h2>
<p><iframe style="border: 0; width: 350px; height: 470px;" src="https://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=1996116116/size=large/bgcol=ffffff/linkcol=0687f5/tracklist=false/transparent=true/" seamless=""><a href="https://lavidaesunmus.bandcamp.com/album/asquerosa-humanidad">Asquerosa Humanidad by Porvenir Oscuro</a></iframe></p>
<p>Spanish-language anarcho-punk that jolts up the spine, NYC’s Porvenir Oscuro’s <em>Asquerose Humanidad</em> is a snarling debut – 25 minutes of addictive hardcore venom.</p>
<h2>Anti-Machine, <em>Anti-Machine</em>
</h2>
<p> </p>
<div class="ast-oembed-container">
<iframe style="border: 0; width: 350px; height: 470px;" title="Anti-Machine - Self Titled 7" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/bTcnRyC8bIM?feature=oembed" width="700" height="525" frameborder="0" seamless="" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"><a href="https://lavidaesunmus.bandcamp.com/album/victory-belongs-to-those-who-fight-for-a-right-cause">Victory Belongs To Those Who Fight For A Right Cause by Taqbir</a></iframe>
<p>I said I wasn’t going to rank any of these releases, but if I did, Taqbir would be near the top. The Moroccan band’s Victory Belongs to Those Who Fight for A Right Cause is brilliant, static-y synth hardcore – critical of religion, of politics, of those who oppress in the name of their own power.</p>
<h2><a href="https://staticshockrecords.bandcamp.com/album/creeping-life">Sarcasm, <em>Creeping Life</em></a></h2>
<p><iframe style="border: 0; width: 350px; height: 470px;" src="https://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=2916907623/size=large/bgcol=ffffff/linkcol=0687f5/tracklist=false/transparent=true/" seamless=""><a href="https://staticshockrecords.bandcamp.com/album/creeping-life">Creeping Life by Sarcasm</a></iframe></p>
<p>The best English post-punk record of the year, bar none. (Sorry, Dry Cleaning stans, but you’re wrong.)</p>
<h2><a href="https://fakefruitmusic.bandcamp.com/album/fake-fruit">Fake Fruit, <em>Fake Fruit</em></a></h2>
<p><iframe style="border: 0; width: 350px; height: 470px;" src="https://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=3060143921/size=large/bgcol=ffffff/linkcol=0687f5/tracklist=false/transparent=true/" seamless=""><a href="https://fakefruitmusic.bandcamp.com/album/fake-fruit">Fake Fruit by Fake Fruit</a></iframe></p>
<p>Art-y, motorik post-punk from the Bay. Dissonant and delightful. For fans of Wire’s Pink Flag – which is to say, everyone.</p>
<h2><a href="https://howlinbananarecords.bandcamp.com/album/cant-wait-to-be-fine">We Hate You Please Die, <em>Can’t Wait to Be Fine</em></a></h2>

<p>We Hate You Please Die’s <em>Can’t Wait to Be Fine</em> is smiley, ADHD-informed French garage punk that I missed this summer and am correcting right now. The songs are written from a place ever aware of its own mortality, but like, in a fun way.</p>
<h2><a href="https://lysolpunx.bandcamp.com/album/soup-for-my-family">LYSOL, <em>Soup for My Family</em></a></h2>

<p>They’re built different in the Pacific Northwest – <em>Soup for My Family</em> makes me miss Brown Sugar – this is Seattle/Olympia excellence (reverbed to hell rock n roll, garage punk, moments of fiery hardcore) – complete with skronking sax courtesy Milk Music’s Dave Harvey.</p>

<p>Scream it with them: “DON’T WANT OUR BAD BLOOD / DON’T WANT IT CAUSE WE’RE GAY / BUT YOU’LL TEST IT ANYWAY / TAKE ONLY FROM STRAIGHT VEINS / IS ALWAYS SOILED WITH SHAME.” Dublin’s gay hardcore heroes are out to kill and these weapons are sharp.</p>

<p>No wave indie art-punk from Glasgow, Nightshift’s sophomore album is too smart for its own good; meditatively minimal with moments of free jazz.</p>

<p>Because this list is an attempt to stay as true to capital-P punk as possible, Lily Konigsberg’s <em>Lily We Need To Talk Now</em>, and its whimsical poppy-indie punk with Arthur Russell flourish, did not make the cut. Instead, her avant-punk trio Palberta, and their math-y record Palberta5000, is here and worth your appreciation. People like to say the band sounds like early Sleater-Kinney, informed by mainstream pop. In this very narrow and specific example, people are right.</p>

<p>Athens, Greece’s Dramachine is more of a project than a band – the <em>ΣΥΓΚΙΝΗΣΙΑΚΗ ΠΑΝΟΥΚΛΑ</em> LP, which they label “devocore,” is an amalgamation of synth-y post-punk, and rap via Greek emcee <a href="https://scifiriver.bandcamp.com/album/diakopes-stin-athina">Sci-Fi River</a>, and coldwave. Deliciously complicated, and not for the faint of heart. Happy listening.</p>

<p>The pop star has not released new material since her 2016 album ‘Glory’ and, since ramping up her legal battle <a href="https://www.nme.com/news/music/britney-spears-conservatorship-has-been-terminated-following-court-hearing-3094412">to end her conservatorship</a>, has spoken about both retiring and making new music.</p>
<p>In a new Instagram post shared earlier today (December 28), Spears wrote about how her treatment by her family had shaken her faith and that she had “asked for 13 years to perform new songs and remixes of my old songs” only to be told no. She also claimed to have only had two months off in between shows for her four-year Vegas residency.</p>
<p>“I knew exactly what I wanted my fans to see and it didn’t make sense how network television shows are showcasing my music with remixes of all of my music …. Yet the person who owns the music is told no !!!!” She wrote. “They even gave remixes to my sister but why was I always told no?”</p>

<p>The singer continued: “So much wasted time to only embarrass and humiliate me and I guess it seems odd to most now why I don’t even do my music anymore… that’s just the surface issues. People have no idea the awful things that were done to me personally.”</p>
<p>Spears said that her experiences had left her “scared of people and the [music] business”, adding that “not doing my music anymore” was her way of saying “fuck you” to those who mistreated her.</p>
<p>She added that her goal for 2022 is to “push myself a bit more and do things that scare me”. Read her note in full above.</p>

<p>KISS had initially postponed just one date of their<a href="https://www.nme.com/news/music/kiss-confirm-when-their-farewell-world-tour-will-end-3064316"> ‘End Of The Road’ tour</a> when Stanley first contracted COVID-19, but were forced to axe more when just a few days later,<a href="https://www.nme.com/news/music/kiss-postpone-shows-as-gene-simmons-tests-positive-for-covid-19-3034574"> co-frontman Gene Simmons also tested positive</a>. </p>
<p>The band have <a href="https://www.nme.com/news/music/kiss-deny-lax-covid-protocol-claims-after-death-of-guitar-tech-3085371">denied allegations that their touring party is slack on COVID-safe protocols</a>, after their long-serving guitar tech died in October following his own positive diagnosis.</p>
<p>Simmons has long been vocal about his adamancy that fans protect themselves against the virus, saying in August that he’s <a href="https://www.nme.com/en_au/news/music/gene-simmons-says-hes-in-favour-of-vaccine-mandates-at-gigs-3016114">in favour of vaccine mandates at live shows</a>, and back in March that people who are sceptical of mask-wearing <a href="https://www.nme.com/news/music/gene-simmons-blasts-people-who-are-sceptical-of-wearing-face-masks-2904493">pose a risk to themselves and those around them</a>. </p>

<p><a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/charlotte-cornfield">Charlotte Cornfield</a> and I are sitting at a picnic table, in a quiet park at the end of a busy street in Toronto in the waning days of the fall. Over coffee and out of earshot of midday dog walkers, we’re discussing her new album, <em>Highs in the Minuses</em>. Cornfield is affable and disarmingly laid-back, both over coffee in the sun-soaked corner of a park and in her approach to crafting the 11 songs on the record. “I just tried to capture the essence of the tunes without adding too much or fixating too much on sounds.”</p>
<p><em>Highs In The Minuses</em> is Cornfield’s fourth album overall and first for U.S.-based <a href="https://www.polyvinylrecords.com/">Polyvinyl Records</a> (in a co-release with <a href="http://www.dbldblwhmmy.com/">Double Double Whammy</a>) and like so many records released in the tail end of 2021, the process started at the onset of the pandemic.</p>
<p>In March 2020, Cornfield was invited to a songwriting residency at the Banff Center for Arts and Creativity. When the pandemic started to roar, the residency closed early, sending her back home. But Cornfield had already found herself inspired in the time spent tucked away in the mountains of Alberta. “I was kind of in a flow of writing and so even after everything got canceled, I just kept doing that,” she says.</p>
<figure id="attachment_377984" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 1024px;" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-377984"><img src="https://static.spin.com/files/2021/12/CharlotteCornfield_CreditAngelaLewis-1024x683.jpeg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="Charlotte Cornfield" height="466" width="699" />

</figure>
<p>With the isolating nature of the pandemic, Cornfield found herself less tethered to a sense of control over the writing process because she wasn’t seeing people.</p>
<p>“I felt less self-conscious about what I was writing. I was just reflecting on my life at various times and different experiences,” she says, placing her hand gently on her forehead to shield her eyes from the sun.</p>
<p>The songs on <em>Highs in the Minuses</em> live exuberantly in the space created by feeling less precious about the structure. Songs like “Pac-Man” put Cornfield’s exemplary storytelling to the front, channeling Jason Molina and Big Thief in equal measure. “Headlines” playfully sings to the feeling of isolation we all shared in over the worst days of the pandemic with lyrics like “never seen this city so dead and so morose/it’s a crisis but we haven’t got the words or the gall to describe it when everybody’s heard.”</p>
<div class="ast-oembed-container"><iframe style="width: 700px; height: 394px;" title="Charlotte Cornfield - Headlines (Official Video)" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/MCXgrZtqyXI?feature=oembed" width="700" height="394" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p>While her previous album was recorded by herself, building songs layer by layer over multiple sessions on her own, she wanted more of a live, communal feel this time. Cornfield brought in a team of collaborators, including bassist Alexandra Levy (Ada Lea) and Liam O’Neill (Suuns) on drums, to flesh things out. The songs on <em>Highs in the Minuses</em> came together swiftly over a five-day period, where the incoming players added new depth to those songs. “It was kind of like watching the songs come alive in real time,” Cornfield says, as she takes the final sips of her coffee.</p>
<p>Having written and demoed the songs in isolation, the opportunity to bring them to the studio and work on them collaboratively in the room with others gave the tracks new life. With that new life came a raucous spirit, with Cornfield allowing herself to be scrappier and more energetic in her playing.</p>
<p>“It feels kind of explosive and unpredictable and spontaneous, and that’s what I love about playing music,” she says, of making the record in Montreal with Howard Bilerman (Arcade Fire, Leonard Cohen), making full use of the small window she could open to record an album in the midst of a global pandemic.</p>
<p>Cornfield’s strength has always been writing profoundly emotional songs rooted in her own experiences and making them feel like your own. ”There’s an effort to write more of a narrative than deeply personal stuff,” Cornfield says, leaning back on the picnic bench. “I’d rather tell stories that hopefully are universally relatable.”</p>
<figure id="attachment_378000" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 819px;" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-378000"><img src="https://static.spin.com/files/2021/12/2106_Charlotte-Cornfield_Tour-Promo_1940-1-819x1024.jpg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="Charlotte Cornfield" height="875" width="700" />

<p>When she shared early listens of the record with friends, one noted that the bass on “Pac-Man” feels almost sludge metal in tone. “I would have never thought five years ago that I’d record a track that sounds like that,” she says of the way the songs took shape with her collaborators. “Obviously it’s not hugely different from things that I’ve done, but to me, it felt like I sort of freed myself up to be less shiny.”</p>
<p>And while it’s less shiny, it’s no less polished. Charlotte Cornfield is a songwriter like few others, so able to deftly create in her songs an emotional resonance that when plugged in, hits us all right where we can share in her memories. “The best part, for me, is when people will say oh my god, <em>that’s me</em>,” Cornfield says. “It’s what I love about taking the things I made in my room and sharing them with people.”</p>

<p>Charli previewed the as-yet-untitled track in a TikTok video posted overnight. It seems to a bouncy, club-primed pop tune with a jaunty beat evocative of ‘90s house music, with Sawayama’s verse sporting the lyrics: <em>“…Coming and going just as you please (Ah, ahhhh) / Separated by a degree, hesitated illusion so far out of reach (Ah, ahhhh).”</em></p>
<p>“That’s that,” Charli said, gigging into the camera. “You don’t need anymore of that.”</p>

<p>Charli shared<a href="https://www.nme.com/news/music/charli-xcx-teases-new-music-and-rina-sawayama-collaboration-in-2022-sneak-peak-3123042"> another “2022 sneak peek”</a> earlier this month; included in it was a text exchange between herself and Sawayama, wherein the latter boasted that “our voices work so well together”. Charli echoed her excitement, telling Sawayama that she “seriously crushed it”.</p>
<p>The track is set to appear on Charli’s forthcoming fifth studio album, ‘Crash’, which is due to land on March 18 via Asylum / Atlantic. <a href="https://www.nme.com/news/music/charli-xcx-hints-at-upcoming-collaboration-with-rina-sawayama-2939494">Word of the Sawayama collab first came back in May</a>, when Charli Tweeted that she woke up at 5.30am thinking about Rina’s purple dress [at <a href="https://www.nme.com/news/music/brit-awards-2021-winners-list-2938278">this year’s BRIT Awards</a>]”, which soon led to them having “texted about making a song”.</p>

<p>The iconic metal star created the NFTs himself and will launch the nearly 10,000-piece collection in January 2022.</p>

</ul>
<p>The ‘CryptoBatz’ range will be comprised of 9,666 unique NFT bats in reference to one of the most infamous moments in Osbourne’s history. In 1982, while performing live in Des Moines, Iowa, the musician bit the head off of a bat on stage.</p>
<p>The collection will mark an innovative first in the NFT scene, which has rapidly grown over 2021. Each CryptoBat will have the ability to “bite” another NFT in a user’s digital wallet and mutate with it to create another token.</p>

<p>These ‘MutantBatz’ will allow customers to combine with NFTs from companies including Bored Ape Yacht Club, SupDucks, Cryptotoadz and more. A treasure hunt dubbed AncientBatz will also let CryptoBatz holders search for tokens around the world. Once found, the AncientBat NFTs will have the power to bite other tokens up to 100 times and breed 100 MutantBatz.</p>
<p>“I’ve been trying to get in on the NFT action for a while so when I asked Sharon for a Bored Ape for Christmas after several failed attempts of buying my own, and she said no, I decided to create my own,” Osbourne said in a statement. “CryptoBatz is a fucking mental project for NFT collectors and fans. The design pays tribute to one of my most iconic onstage moments and is a chance to acquire a rare piece of art history. I love it!”</p>
<p>A pre-sale for the CryptoBatz collection is open now via the CryptoBatz Discord channel. Public minting will open in early February, with purchasers able to mint up to three of the NFTs per digital wallet.</p>

<p>It comes days after Drake <a href="https://www.nme.com/news/music/a-3billion-defamation-lawsuit-filed-against-drake-has-been-dismissed-3123764">emerged victorious from a $4billion (£3.02billion) lawsuit</a>.

<p>Last week also saw Drake pay tribute to <a href="https://www.nme.com/artists/virgil-abloh">Virgil Abloh</a> with <a href="https://www.nme.com/news/music/drake-gets-tattoo-honouring-late-designer-virgil-abloh-3125992">a realistic tattoo of the late DJ and Louis Vuitton designer</a>.

<p>On paper, <a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/letterkenny"><em>Letterkenny</em></a> seems like exactly the kind of show that pretty much no one would care about. It’s a very Canadian ensemble-based sitcom about the happenings of a rural town and its population — or as the show’s opening slide explains, “There are 5000 people in Letterkenny. These are their problems.” It’s full of ridiculous characters, bodily humor, a dictionary’s worth of slang (some real, some made-up), and running jokes that’ll appear several times in an episode or two, and then disappear for seasons at a time before a random callback. In other words, it’s a perfect storm to be an extremely niche thing that would get some attention on YouTube, garner comparisons to <em>Trailer Park Boys,</em> and then promptly be forgotten.</p>
<p>But that’s not what happened.</p>
<p>After debuting as “Letterkenny Problems” on YouTube in 2013, <em>Letterkenny</em> became the first original series commissioned by Canadian streaming service Crave in 2016. While the then-brand-new network boosted the show’s audience throughout Canada and earned it a few awards at the Canadian Screen Awards, it wasn’t until Hulu picked it up in 2018 that the series helmed by (and starring) Jared Keeso and Jacob Tierney really started getting attention on a global scale.</p>
<p>Since the <a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/coronavirus">COVID-19</a> pandemic glued everyone to their favorite streaming services, it’s been almost impossible to miss <em>Letterkenny</em> in several pockets of the internet. YouTube is full of fan theories, compilations (both official and unofficial) and memorable scenes. Spend an hour on pretty much any social media platform and someone will make a <em>Letterkenny</em> reference, whether you understand it or not. And that’s not even including the 220,000 degens from upcountry who fill <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/Letterkenny/">the show’s subreddit</a>.</p>
<p>“I checked the <em>Letterkenny</em> Reddit recently and it’s fucking wild,” Andrew Herr, who plays hockey player Jonesy, told <em>SPIN</em>.</p>
<p>“Oh, I don’t check those…” Tyler Johnston (who portrays Stewart, leader of the drug-fueled “skids”) added.</p>
<p>“I can’t,” Michelle Mylett, whom fans know as <em>Letterkenny</em>’s queen bee, Katy, confirmed. “It’s too scary. I went on it once, and I was horrified.”</p>
<p>But even if avoiding Reddit is probably better for everyone’s sanity, the cast can’t deny what an insane boost their dedicated fan base has given the show in recent years. Hell, how many other low-budget web series turn into one of the most popular shows on Hulu and a <a href="http://www.letterkenny.tv/letterkenny-live">touring live performance</a> that sells out all across North America?</p>
<p>With <em>Letterkenny</em>’s 10th season premiering this past weekend on Christmas (and the day after on Hulu), <em>SPIN</em> sat down on a video call with Mylett, Johnston and Herr — along with some additional contributions from Herr’s real-life and TV partner in crime, Dylan Playfair (Reilly).</p>
<div class="ast-oembed-container"><iframe style="width: 700px; height: 394px;" title="Letterkenny | Season 10 Trailer | A Hulu Original" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/GGxYBiuvkUw?feature=oembed" width="700" height="394" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p><strong><em>SPIN</em>: With so many people discovering <em>Letterkenny</em> during the pandemic, have you noticed a boost in popularity in the last couple of years?</strong><br><strong>Michelle Mylett:</strong> I think being on Hulu, we got the American audience, and there are way more Americans than there are Canadians, so it changed the audience. It changed our internet presence and social media interactions. I think that really pushed us more into the mainstream. I know it’s still kind of a cult-y show, but at the same time, I’m surprised by a lot of the people who know it. I’ll be in New York or something and like a suit person [Johnston interjects “A shirt-tucker!”] will start talking about it and I’m like “Why are you watching <em>Letterkenny</em>?” It’s surprising, but it’s cool because it’s reached a lot of different people. When you’re making a rural show, you know it’ll hit small town people, but the fact that it’s extended much further past that is really cool.</p>
<p><strong>Tyler Johnston:</strong> Like Michelle mentioned, the internet presence grows without us doing anything. You wake up every morning and you’re getting more followers even if you’re not posting. People are still tweeting and Instagram posting about the show telling us how they rewatch it with their uncle every time there’s a new season coming out. I think the pandemic certainly allowed people to just really lean into it and binge watch our show. Now we’ve got like 70 episodes, so there’s a lot to watch.</p>
<p><strong>Dylan Playfair:</strong> We’ve all spent time living in the US and Canada, and we also come from relatively small towns, so we knew the humor would translate. Canadians and Americans have more in common than people think, especially when it comes to small town existence. Mix in the time we have all spent in big cities and Jared and Jacob’s incredible abilities as writers, and we all knew it was a matter of time before the rest of the world got in on the joke. That’s not to say we have not been deeply humbled by the reception. We’ve been consistently blown away by the support for the show our fans have shown. I think everyone was looking for some escapism during the last few years, and I think we have the best fans in the world. Without dedicated fans supporting Letterkenny, we wouldn’t be able to make the show. Ferda.</p>
<p><strong>Pretty much every character on <em>Letterkenny</em> has really grown over the seasons, so how have your characters’ evolutions changed how you see them?</strong><br><strong>Mylett:</strong> Katy’s just more herself. She’s always known exactly who she is, and that’s only getting stronger in her. I don’t know if that’s true for Stewart, since he’s always trying on a different thing, but the Hicks are exactly who they are, and they’re just getting more and more confident.</p>
<p><strong>Johnston:</strong> Life is all about evolution, right? If you’re not growing, you’re dying. With Stewart, you could only go up after those first couple of seasons. That was his rock bottom. It’s been nice to have a trajectory that goes up for a bit and then back down, and then up again and down again. I’d say Stewart was the underdog for the first couple of seasons, and he’s kind of found a home in <em>Letterkenny</em> where he’s accepted for being… I don’t even know what you want to call him. A clown? A vampire? The list goes on.</p>
<p><strong>Andrew Herr:</strong> I think Reilly and I have kind of had a freefall, where each season we’ve had a new concussion. We started off on high ground where we thought we were king shit, and now we’re kind of like lap dogs that come to people’s beck and call. We have these not-so-great ideas on how to regain our glory, and we usually end up not getting it. But at the end of the day, it’s still gym, girls and hockey, and we never give up. We’ve had our moments where all of a sudden we’re goal-scorers. We had a moment where we were broken up for a little bit and we realized how much we need each other. I always joke that Reilly and Jonesy didn’t have fathers and that we were connected straight out of the womb, so we’ve just been each other’s role models.</p>
<p><strong>Playfair:</strong> A huge part of Reilly’s growth lies in the development of his relationship with Jonesy. We have each other’s backs, and when things have gotten tough for us in the show — like when Katy chooses Reilly over Jonesy — there’s serious reflection on what’s important in life. We realize our family is one another, and no one can come between family — which I guess is a bit of a metaphor for the entire show. At its heart — regardless of the language, fart jokes, wheeling, sniping and cellying — we’re a family. This tone was set very early on in the series, and I think a great example of it pops up many times in one of my favorite episodes, “Supersoft Birthday.” That episode captures the love within the town of Letterkenny, and it’s one that always gives me the warm fuzzies.</p>
<p><strong>What do you think it is about <em>Letterkenny</em> that makes it so relatable even for an audience well outside of Canada?</strong><br><strong>Johnston:</strong> I think one thing about <em>Letterkenny</em> is that they try to be inclusive of every person in every walk of life, and we make fun of everybody. There’s not really one person or one group of people who’s a punching bag because we punch at everybody. And I think people can relate to the characters, even if they just change them for their region — like a hockey player for a baseball player or a football player or a lacrosse player or a synchronized swimmer. It’s cool seeing Europe and different areas like that become attracted to the show. “Herrsy” and I were at a bar in Edinburgh like four years ago and some guys stopped us to ask if we were the guys from <em>Letterkenny</em>. It was one of those moments where you don’t think you’re going to be in Scotland and some guy’s going to know what we’re doing back in Sudbury, Ontario. I joke all the time about how we’re on this rocket ship and I’m just holding on as tight as I can for as long as I can. Maybe we’ll meet Elon Musk up there.</p>
<p><strong>Mylett:</strong> I feel like people from other places look at it and they’re like “What are these weird Canadians up to?” I think not a lot of people really have an understanding of Canada. It sounds like this silly made-up place to a lot of people, and then they see <em>Letterkenny</em> and they’re just fascinated. Then they think that’s how we operate at all times, which is also really funny.</p>
<p><strong>Herr:</strong> I think there’s a lot of clever little lessons in a lot of the episodes. Like usually if there’s a bully, the bully always gets beaten down by everyone teamed up together. At the end of the day, everyone loves each other in <em>Letterkenny</em>, and it’s really genuine. So I think people also really gravitate towards that as well. Also, it’s just a bunch of crazy kooky characters that keep coming in every season.</p>
<p><strong>Playfair:</strong> Laughter is bilingual. Some humor is culturally specific, but I think there’s a common thread that connects anyone who has ever been to or lived in a small town. It’s for anyone who has a friend, or group of friends, where you feel comfortable being yourself and can discuss complex ideas, like scrap etiquette — a Donnybrook — flatulence etiquette, or how to justly protect the members of your society without committing an unintentional faux pas — such as “How do we beat up the degens who have been intolerant of our LGBTQ friends without being intolerant of the degens who deserve to be beat up on account of them saying some intolerant things about our friends who happen to be LGBTQ?” It’s the way in which we tackle complex social commentary with extreme love and respect for all while making it very funny and inclusive.</p>
<p><strong>A lot of you were friends before <em>Letterkenny</em> started, and I think that genuine friendship really shows even when you’re filming. What was that like to build the show on those existing bonds?</strong><br><strong>Playfair:</strong> Some of my favorite memories — as well as the funniest banter I’ve ever had — have been with the cast of Letterkenny. Jared — “Cap,” as we affectionately call him — was the captain of our men’s league team, which included myself, Andrew, Nate Dales, Tyler, and Jamie LaPointe [who plays a recurring character known only as The Ginger, who may or may not have fucked an ostrich]. We had a lot of great laughs together, and many of them have since made their way into the show in some form. There’s a chemistry that can’t be faked. [Herr and I] were very close friends before the show, and we’ve grown closer over the past 10 seasons.</p>
<p><strong>Herr:</strong> I didn’t think a whole lot of doing the YouTube video at first. I knew there was some buzz around it, but I was still in university and kind of just living day-to-day and wasn’t thinking too far in advance. But yeah, Dylan and I used to be roommates, we worked on a movie beforehand, and it’s actually crazy how many similarities we have. We even had the same mark in grade 11 math — we both just passed with a 50% — so there’s a lot of crazy similarities.</p>
<p><strong>Mylett:</strong> Please include that tidbit.</p>
<p><strong>Herr:</strong> You should make that the headline.</p>
<p><strong>Johnston:</strong> “Reilly and Jonesy barely passed math. Shocker!” [Laughs.] It was a very humble web series when we started, and we didn’t know what was really going on. Then Crave came in as a brand new streaming service at the time, and they asked us for six episodes. Some of us were friends before, and some of us just met for the first time, but we all were very excited to make these six episodes as fun and enjoyable as they could be. We joke that the first season was the best summer camp ever. We started with the show at its humble beginnings and watched as it’s grown into what it is now. We’ve all developed our egos now over time, but we didn’t show up with them.</p>
<p><strong>Herr:</strong> Definitely Tyler. Tyler’s got the biggest ego for sure.</p>
<p><strong>Johnston:</strong> I was actually wanting to do this interview alone, but they kept saying that it’s for all of us.</p>
<p><strong>Dylan mentioned earlier that “Supersoft Birthday” is one of his favorite episodes. Anyone else want to share their favorite Letterkenny episodes or moments?</strong><br><strong>Johnston:</strong> A couple of my favorite episodes over the course of time are “Les Hiques” with the French version of the Hicks and “Letterkenny Spelling Bee.” For my character in particular, I really enjoyed the relationship with Gae because it showed Stewart in an actual human capacity. There was some love and heartbreak, and not just him bouncing off the walls.</p>
<p><strong>Mylett:</strong> The final episode of season eight, when Dierks disrespects Katie. He was promised from the start that the whole town would come after him, and that last sequence — the song, the way that it’s shot, and all of these different groups of people coming together to defend their family member — it just encapsulated what the show is about. Watching it made me emotional almost…</p>
<p><strong>Johnston:</strong> Me too. You don’t have to say “almost.” I cried.</p>
<p><strong>Herr:</strong> I cried too.</p>
<p><strong>Mylett:</strong> This sounds so cheesy, but it represented us as friends. There’s that level of friendship on this show that — like you said earlier — people say they can feel in the show. That friendship is genuinely there, and that scene sums up what the show is about. No bullying, no bullshit, and we will kick the shit out of you if you cross one of us.</p>
<p><strong>Herr:</strong> I fully agree with everyone. I love that sequence. I love “Spelling Bee” and “Les Hiques.” I also love seeing Tyler get pegged personally.</p>
<p><strong>Johnston:</strong> Thanks, buddy… Wait, like with a ball?</p>
<p><strong>Herr:</strong> Any EpiPen fight is probably the funniest thing I’ve ever seen in my life. I watch that on repeat a lot.</p>
<p><strong>Johnston:</strong> So all of your favorite moments are when I’m injured. That’s that friendship thing we were talking about.</p>
<p><strong>Dylan and Andrew, you two are probably responsible for more people learning about hockey lingo than anyone else in history. What’s it like to see and hear so many people adopting your catchphrases from the show — particularly considering that you’re technically a second-generation hockey player, Dylan?</strong><br><strong>Playfair:</strong> Like goin’ first round first overall ferda, diggin’ deep and bearing down, chuckin’ silly sauce from the bluey! It’s lots of fun. We have our own language, and I’m honored to share it with the world. My dad told me when I transitioned from playing hockey to acting, “Hockey has given our family so much. Sports give kids the opportunity to work for a common goal in a team setting. You will use the lessons you learned playing hockey for the rest of your life. Never forget what hockey has done for you, respect the game and the game will be good to you.” I think this sentiment exists in all sports. When you’re given the chance to experience success and failure in the confines of a sports season, it proves how important the work you put in when no one’s watching is, the practice, the belief in yourself and the understanding that you’re working towards something bigger than any one person. That’s a long-winded way of saying it feels like a crispy new twig — or good and fresh, like a new hockey stick.</p>
<p><strong>Herr:</strong> I think it’s pretty surreal when the things we’re saying start growing like a forest fire — that’s probably not the right terminology — but it’s just surreal. Some of the language was already in hockey culture beforehand, and Jared definitely had his finger on the pulse. What’s so cool about hockey is you have a team of guys, and they’re just constantly ribbing each other constantly — making jokes, making up words and messing with the English language. I think that’s what Jared did in a lot of ways. For me, it was just surreal to have people say the words back at you on the street or wherever you are.</p>
<p><strong>Is there anything else you want to share about the new season of <em>Letterkenny</em>?</strong><br><strong>Mylett:</strong> I honestly feel like the scripts for the next two seasons were some of the strongest we’ve seen, because COVID gave Jacob and Jared some breathing room to really get inspired and take their time. It’s a classic <em>Letterkenny</em> season of jokes and swear words and silly characters and Tyler dancing. Oh, and Andrew shows his butt</p>
<p><strong>Johnston:</strong> Like Michelle said, it’s the classic <em>Letterkenny</em> energy, but with some more treats in store, like a couple of buttcheeks.</p>
<p><strong>Mylett:</strong> Definitely more butt.</p>
<p><strong>Herr:</strong> I don’t think I’ve ever felt quite like a piece of meat like I have with this.</p>
<p><strong>Johnston:</strong> You’re a good-looking piece of meat, buddy.</p>
<p><strong>Herr:</strong> Thanks, buddy.</p>

<p>The first side of the album would be seven songs consisting of her typical ‘pop-rap’ sound, while the other side would consist of 12 hip-hop songs. She also said the hip-hop side of the album would have all songs produced by Jay Versace and 9th Wonder.</p>

<p>Doja Cat’s third album, ‘Planet Her’, dropped earlier this year. She <a href="https://www.nme.com/news/music/doja-cat-discusses-dr-luke-i-dont-think-i-need-to-work-with-him-in-the-future-3120725">recently addressed her collaborative relationship</a> with controversial producer Dr. Luke, who worked on a number of ‘Planet Her’ tracks as well as her two previous albums, 2018’s ‘Amala’ and 2019’s <a href="https://www.nme.com/reviews/album/doja-cat-hot-pink-review-2577076">‘Hot Pink’</a>.</p>
<p>“I haven’t worked with him in a very long time,” she said. “There’s shit that he’s credited for, where I’m like, ‘Hmm, I don’t know, I don’t know if you did anything on that.’</p>
<p>“The point is he’s gotten some credit for shit. And, you know, it’s whatever. I don’t think I need to work with him again. I don’t think I need to work with him in the future.”</p>
<p>Doja Cat also recently revealed that she was approached by <a href="https://www.nme.com/artists/billie-eilish">Billie Eilish</a> to feature on what would <a href="https://www.nme.com/news/music/billie-eilishs-bellache-almost-had-a-doja-cat-feature-3121632">become one of her formative hits, ‘Bellyache’</a>.</p>

<p>“I remember thinking it was so cute. I loved it. I just couldn’t think of anything to write,” Doja said. “It was one of my writer’s-block moments…I don’t think the song was for me, though. It was quite hard to write to.”</p>

<p>Producer <a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/brendan-o-brien">Brendan O’Brien</a> was fresh off wrapping work on Pearl Jam’s sophomore album <em>Vs</em>. when he met <a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/chris-cornell">Chris Cornell</a> for the first time in the summer of 1993. Cornell and his bandmates in Soundgarden were nearly finished recording what would become their smash album <a href="https://www.spin.com/2017/05/soundgarden-1994-cover-story/"><em>Superunknown</em></a>, and, per a recommendation from Pearl Jam guitarist Stone Gossard, invited O’Brien up to Seattle to discuss mixing the project.</p>
<p>As O’Brien recalls, “We went out to dinner to talk about what we were going to do, and five minutes in, it was like, ‘Are we actually going to talk about mixing? We’ll put the songs up and make it sound good. What’s next? What do you want to talk about now?’ We all just laughed, and then bullshitted for the next hour-and-a-half.” Released the following March, <em>Superunknown</em> became Soundgarden’s most successful album, selling 5 million copies in the U.S. and spawning alt-rock all-timers such as “Spoonman,” “Fell on Black Days” and “Black Hole Sun.”</p>
<p>Their intuitive collaborative approach having been established, O’Brien and Cornell went on to work closely for the next 20-plus years, culminating in <a href="https://www.amazon.com/One-Sings-Like-You-Anymore/dp/B08QKYZZMJ"><em>No One Sings Like You Anymore</em></a>, a 10-track covers album that was among the last thing Cornell recorded before his death in 2017.</p>
<p>Comprised of material originally recorded by John Lennon, Electric Light Orchestra, Sinead O’Connor, Janis Joplin and Ghostland Observatory, among others, <em>No One Sings Like You Anymore</em> finds Cornell and O’Brien playing almost all of the instruments themselves. Cornell is in fine voice throughout and shines in his role as a song interpreter, helping the album earn two nominations for next month’s Grammys — best rock album and best rock performance for the artist’s rendition of Guns ’N Roses’ “Patience.” O’Brien talked to <em>SPIN</em> about the bittersweet experience of completing the project without Cornell present and the enduring power of his music.</p>

<p><strong>SPIN: Can you recall what it was like meeting Chris and Soundgarden for the first time in Seattle in 1993?</strong><br><strong>Brendan O’Brien:</strong> I think they’d finished most of the recording for ‘Superunknown’ at that point. So when I got there, we hit the ground running. I think they were a little burnt out by that point after having worked on the record for a long time, and they were excited to hear it sound organized, together and finished. We had a great time.</p>
<p>With Pearl Jam and other people, I was producing the records, so you’re there from the ground up. You go through the whole process. It’s much more collaborative and sometimes adversarial. It’s not meant to be that way, but part of your job is to present every angle. When you come in to mix, they’re ready for you to be the hero (laughs). They’re ready for you to make it sound great. Unless I set something on fire, I was going to be doing pretty well. It was not going to go badly for me unless I really made it sound like shit. They were all smiles at that point. Especially with Chris, I think he was excited to see the finish line. I could tell they felt like they had something there — a real, legitimate record. I was glad to be part of that.</p>
<p><strong>You went on to work with Chris on a lot of his post-Soundgarden projects.</strong><br>I mixed an Audioslave record and then I produced another one with them. That was one of the first times I worked with Chris as a singer. He and I immediately got along very well. I think he appreciated that I understood what he was doing. He seemed to respect that. Of course, put him in front of a microphone and he was one of the best. We got along great. He had a great sense of humor, because we had similar interests in shitty old movies and old cars. He was younger than me, but not by a lot, so we had a lot of the same influences. After Audioslave, he did his own thing for a while but we got back together on the solo record that became <em>Higher Truth</em>. I produced that with him, and it was he and I doing most of it. Sometime during the making of that record, we had an idea of doing a covers record, and we even started coming up with some song ideas then. Actually doing it didn’t happen until about a year later. We had a good thing going. My hope was that we would continue making more records in this way, but things changed.</p>
<p><strong>Soundgarden didn’t tour in 2016, but Chris toured solo quite a bit and then reunited with Temple Of The Dog. When did you guys actually record this?</strong><br>I had to take a break in the middle of recording to help Coldplay and Bruno Mars with the Super Bowl, so that would have been in early 2016. We did a good bit of it then, and then came back to it later. The truth is, this is an unfinished record. We weren’t really done. We did a bunch of songs, and the idea was always to come back and pick three or four more things. We thought we needed some different takes on other songs. There was no rush to put it together, at least on his part. I’m glad people are being exposed to Chris, and he’s getting a lot of deserved recognition, but it’s bittersweet, for obvious reasons. To me, it’s unfinished.</p>
<p><strong>It made me think about how Chris helped finish the last Jeff Buckley record after Jeff died.</strong><br>I met Jeff Buckley about a week before he died, and I spoke to Chris right before that, because I knew they were friends. I told him, “I’m going to meet with this guy even though I think he’s just going to do the record with Andy Wallace.” I went to say hi and spend a day with him. He was a lovely guy — very soft-spoken, and loved music. My interaction with Jeff was through Chris and I see the parallels. But with the Chris record, again, I feel like there was some work left to be done as far as more songs, but that’s not how the world views it, which is all good. That’s just my own personal take on it.</p>
<p><strong>Was the plan always for just the two of you to play the instruments?</strong><br>I think it was the plan. We did a lot of the previous record together like that. Chris is an excellent guitar player and obviously an excellent singer. I can play a bunch of stuff. He liked the circle being small, and I did too. We had a pretty good rapport about what we were trying to do. [Drummer] Matt Chamberlain plays on a couple of songs and there’s a string arrangement on a few things. There are four or five songs, maybe more, that aren’t on the record and had some other things going on. It was a little bit of an open-ended thing. We didn’t really think about it — we just did it.</p>
<p><strong>Who came up with the song ideas? It looks like he only played two of these songs live on the 2016 tour.</strong><br>A couple of them were songs he’d done live and he wanted to make a different version of, like “Patience” and “Nothing Compares 2 U.” We may have wanted to go back later and do more things to them, but who knows? We reached out to friends for suggestions. My old friend from Atlanta who I’ve known since high school, Chris Starrs, suggested the ELO song that we did. We just tried it one day, and it was like, ‘OK, sounds good! Next! What else you got?’ My friend Jon Sidel in L.A. suggested “You Don’t Know Nothing About Love.” We did feel like we needed a few more things, and the thought was, let’s see what else comes in down the road. We didn’t get to that, unfortunately.</p>
<p><strong>Is there an example of a song that was captured quickly compared to one that took more time to get where you wanted it?</strong><br>Honestly, all of them were done pretty quickly. There was an idea to pull a song together in one day and really focus, and then move onto the next thing. We wanted to trust our instincts. If we really liked something, we’d go back to it and finish it. There are probably another half-dozen that were sort of finished, and maybe more than that. I can’t think of anything we really labored over dramatically. We did spend a lot of time on it, but the idea was to keep it fresh. It was just the two of us, so we didn’t have to corral a bunch of other people. When there’s only two people involved, and one of them knows how to run a studio, it can happen pretty quickly.</p>
<p><strong>Had there been any conversations before Chris died about how and when to release this album?</strong><br>Everybody’s idea was to get a few more songs together. I know Chris and I felt that way. Before he passed away, it had probably been a year since we’d last recorded. It wasn’t like we just did it and then he died. It had already been around awhile at that point. His idea was to work on a new Soundgarden record and some other things, and then we’d get back to this at some point.</p>
<p><strong>If this is the final word on Chris’ solo studio recordings, what do we take away from it?</strong><br>My first impression is a job left unfinished. That’s how I feel about it, and him. Unfinished business. I miss him being here in general. I guess that’s how I feel about all of it: the work, being around him, everything. I can’t imagine ever feeling complete, you know? Honestly, I’ve hardly listened to it. I do still find it kind of difficult to listen to the music, because it brings up those memories. I think of the moment we did it, and usually, it’s almost overwhelmingly a good memory. This one is more mixed. It was fun doing it, and I enjoyed everything about working with Chris, especially at that time. But there’s also the feeling that there was so much more to do.</p>
<p><strong>I think part of the joy of the album is hearing just how skilled Chris was an interpreter of other people’s music.</strong><br>I don’t know if he was ever in a cover band before Soundgarden. In my time, everybody played in cover bands and then they started working on their own music. He may have come up in a scene where everyone started working on their own music, but he would have been a spectacular singer in a cover band. An all-time great (laughs). I used to tease him that he could always get a gig playing in a grunge tribute band.</p>
<p><strong>Do you have any idea what the status is of the Soundgarden material the band was working on before Chris died?</strong><br>I’ve never heard it. In spite of what may have been said or written, Chris and I never talked about it. We were focused on this record. Soundgarden seemed like a separate thing, which was great by me. I felt good about that. But I’d love to hear it at some point — I really would. I hope they get it figured out.</p>

</li>
</ul>
<p>It reached the milestone in just 12 days, Sony announced on Sunday (December 26), making it the third-fastest film to gross $1billion. It follows <em>Avengers: Endgame</em> (which hit $1billion in five days) and <em>Avengers: Infinity War </em>(11 days), both of which also featured Tom Holland as Spider-Man in their ensemble casts.</p>
<p><em>No Way Home</em> also comes as the first film to gross $1billion since the <a href="https://www.nme.com/tag/coronavirus">COVID-19</a> pandemic started. The last film to make as much was <a href="https://www.nme.com/reviews/film-reviews/star-wars-the-rise-of-skywalker-review-2590726"><em>Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker</em></a>, which landed in December of 2019. <em>No Way Home</em> is on track to outperform<em> The Rise Of Skywalker</em> by a significant margin, though. It drew in $260million (£194million) in its opening weekend, giving it the second-highest domestic box office opening of all time (after <em>Avengers: Endgame</em>).</p>
<p>The opening weekend also marks the highest ever for a Hollywood film released in December, the highest for a <em>Spider-Man</em> film, and the highest ever earned by a Sony Pictures release.</p>
<p>In a statement shared to <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2021/12/26/media/spider-man-no-way-home-box-office-billion/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>CNN Business</em></a>, Paul Dergarabedian – a senior media analyst at Comscore – said: “What this represents is quite mind-boggling. These numbers would be very impressive in the pre-pandemic era, but for <em>Spider-Man: No Way Home</em> to sprint to a billion dollars in <em>this</em> marketplace is really hard to wrap your mind around.</p>
<p>“The monumental achievement of ‘No Way Home’ hitting this number cannot be overstated for this industry right now.”</p>
<p>In announcing the opening weekend numbers, Sony Pictures Motion Picture Group chairman and CEO Tom Rothman said: “This weekend’s historic <em>Spider-Man: No Way Home </em>results, from all over the world and in the face of many challenges, reaffirm the unmatched cultural impact that exclusive theatrical films can have when they are made and marketed with vision and resolve.”</p>
<p><em>Spider-Man: No Way Home </em>marks the end of the <em>Homecoming</em> trilogy, the first collaboration between Sony (which owns the film rights to Spider-Man and a litany of related characters) and Marvel Studios. Fans can rest easy knowing <a href="https://www.nme.com/news/film/spider-man-no-way-home-sequel-actively-in-the-works-confirms-mcu-boss-3121688">a sequel is in “active” development</a>, however, as Marvel boss Kevin Feige confirmed earlier this month.</p>
<p>The news followed Holland speaking candidly about the future of<em> Spider-Man </em>on the big screen, saying that <a href="https://www.nme.com/news/film/tom-holland-wants-spider-man-films-to-be-more-diverse-in-the-future-3121585">he wants the films to be “more diverse” going forward</a>.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.nme.com/reviews/film-reviews/spider-man-no-way-home-review-marvel-tom-holland-zendaya-3119256">In a four-star review of <em>Spider-Man: No Way Home</em></a>, <em>NME’s</em> Olly Richards said: “To go into detail about how the film explores the soul of Peter Parker would give away secrets – although knowing ‘spoilers’ should in no way ruin your enjoyment of the story, such is a the quality of the character writing – but suffice to say that in terms of getting to the heart of the character, <em>No Way Home</em> is the ultimate <em>Spider-Man </em>film.</p>
<p>“There are moments here that make you want to cheer and weep simultaneously. It’s not the most visually spectacular, it’s not the funniest, but it’s the most emotionally rich. For <em>Spider-Man </em>fans who’ve stuck with the character through the soaring highs and the sticky lows, this is your reward. And it makes it all worth it.”</p>

<p>It’s been more than five years since <a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/frank-ocean">Frank Ocean</a> released his latest album <em>Blonde</em>. In the time that’s passed he’s dropped a <a href="https://www.spin.com/2020/03/frank-ocean-songs-dear-april-and-cayendo-leak-online/">handful of singles</a> but has been pretty quiet since sharing “Dear April” and “Cayendo” in 2020. That all changed yesterday.</p>
<p>The singer gifted his fans a very special present during the Christmas episode of his “Blonded” Apple Radio show and unveiled an unreleased nine-minute-long track.</p>
<p>In an <a href="https://twitter.com/TeamFrankDaily/status/1474786726140862464">Instagram story</a>, Ocean explained how the song came together, revealing it was recorded in a single take last summer and inspired by a conversation he had with motivational speaker Wim “The Iceman” Hof after the death of his younger brother Ryan Breaux in August 2020.</p>
<p>“Me and @iceman_hof had a conversation some time ago when I was in the earlier stages of grief and I remember marbling afterwards at how his energy blasted through the phone,” Ocean recalled. “So much vim in this Wim. We spoke for a while about his work, the purpose of grief and how going into the cold water changed his life.” He added, “It reminded me of conversations in the studio with players I know. Freewheeling, psychedelic, emotionally charged, intelligent and generous. I enjoyed listening to him, so in this edit I just let him speak interrupted.”</p>

<p>Here’s a good Christmas surprise for you. <a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/neil-young">Neil Young</a>, in a statement published on his Neil Young Archives <a href="https://neilyoungarchives.com/news/1/article?id=A-Message-From-Neil-A-Gift-For-You-1987">site</a>, has unearthed a previously lost album. Titled <em>Summer Songs</em>, the album was recorded in 1987.</p>
<p>Described by Young himself as “lost for years, but not forgotten,” <em>Summer Songs</em> consists of eight songs that were recorded at Young’s Broken Arrow Ranch. The album features Young on all instruments. It was produced by Young and Niko Bolas, aka the Volume Dealers.</p>
<p>“They’re pipin’ music in…yer getting it…someday,” Young wrote in a statement. “Remember the old songs? This ones for you!”</p>
<p>Last week, Young and Crazy Horse released <em>Barn</em>, their first album since <em>Colorado</em>, which was released two years ago. Prior to that, we caught up with Nils Lofgren who <a href="https://www.spin.com/2021/12/nils-lofgren-neil-young-bruce-springsteen/">looked back</a> at his time playing with Crazy Horse and what went into <em>Barn.</em></p>
<p>A few weeks ago in an appearance on <em>The Howard Stern Show</em>, Young gave some more insight into his latest <em>Archives </em>box set and <a href="https://www.howardstern.com/news/2021/12/16/neil-young-on-his-album-barn-his-movie-barn-and-that-one-time-he-yelled-more-barn/">explained</a> why he won’t be touring until it’s safe to attend shows. He previously canceled an appearance at this year’s Farm Aid, saying that it was too soon to play live.</p>

<p>The superstar singer first headed to the drive-thru for her daughter, Monroe Cannon, to prank a disgruntled operator. After the 10-year-old bellows out a jumbled order in a gruff New York accent, she’s asked by the employee: “Ma’am, can you please just leave the store and never come back?”</p>
<p>Carey’s assistants then head inside for a second prank, attempting to order a Big Mac and coffee in Portuguese. The staff are again unfazed by their antics, with the cashier visibly annoyed by their composure. Once the Carey family walk inside, however, the staff light up with excitement. Mariah takes pictures with several employees, and shows off various elements of the Mariah Menu packaging.</p>

<p>In the latest twist in the <a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/astroworld">Astroworld</a> saga, the House Oversight and Reform Committee is launching an investigation into the embattled festival. Astroworld promoter <a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/live-nation">Live Nation</a> is also the subject of the investigation. As reported by the <a href="https://apnews.com/article/astroworld-festival-deaths-travis-scott-entertainment-business-concerts-75a6445f255d86b7bc5ac42c0d601c60/"><em>AP</em></a>, the committee sent Live Nation a formal letter. The committee is seeking information about the company’s role in providing security, security planning, crowd control and when the promoter first was made aware of the tragic circumstances that were unfolding at Astroworld.</p>
<p>The concert promoter has until January 7, 2022 to respond.</p>
<p>“We are writing to request information regarding the tragic events on November 5, 2021, when a stampede crushed concertgoers, killing ten people and injuring hundreds more during Astroworld Music Festival,” the letter addressed to Live Nation CEO Michael Rapino said.</p>
<p>Continuing, it stated the following:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>We are also concerned by reports about Live Nation’s conduct following Astroworld Festival. Live Nation and its subsidiary reportedly have withheld pay until part-time employees who worked the festival have signed a revised employment contract, correcting the original version signed prior to the festival that was dated 2018. The revision makes it clear that the contract, which includes a broad provision releasing Live Nation from liability, applies to the 2021 festival.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.spin.com/2021/11/travis-scott-astroworld-eight-dead-hundreds-injured-crowd-surge/">Eight people</a> were confirmed dead the night of the concert, and an <a href="https://www.spin.com/2021/11/ninth-person-dies-from-astroworld-injuries/">additional</a> <a href="https://www.spin.com/2021/11/nine-year-old-boy-trampled-at-astroworld-dies/">two</a> have died in the weeks following the festival. A medical examiner is currently investigating the causes of death of the deceased, who ranged in age from 14 to 27. Scott has expressed his <a href="https://www.spin.com/2021/11/travis-scott-astroworld-tragedy-statement/">devastation of the tragedies</a> on social media, and has pledged to <a href="https://www.spin.com/2021/11/travis-scott-to-cover-funeral-expenses-of-astroworld-victims/">cover the funeral expenses</a> of the Astroworld victims.</p>
<p>In his first interview since Astroworld, Travis Scott said he “didn’t know” that Astroworld had been deemed a “mass casualty event” until after the first police press conference. He recently lost a sponsorship deal with Anheuser-Busch, which pulled the plug on Scott’s <a href="https://www.spin.com/2021/12/travis-scott-anheuser-busch-cacti-hard-seltzer-discontinued/">Cacti Hard Seltzer</a> line.</p>

<p>The two actors, who have known each other since filming 1997’s <em>Titanic</em> in their early 20s, met once again in Los Angeles for the first time since the <a href="https://www.nme.com/tag/coronavirus" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Coronavirus</a> pandemic began.</p>
<p>Speaking about the reunion to <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2021/dec/23/kate-winslet-i-feel-way-cooler-as-a-fortysomething-actress-than-i-ever-imagined" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>The Guardian</em></a>, Winslet said: “I couldn’t stop crying. I’ve known him for half my life! It’s not as if I’ve found myself in New York or he’s been in London and there’s been a chance to have dinner or grab a coffee and catch-up.</p>
<p>“We haven’t been able to leave our countries. Like so many friendships globally, we’ve missed each other because of COVID. He’s my friend, my really close friend. We’re bonded for life.”</p>

<p>Following <em>Titanic</em>, Winslet and DiCaprio starred together in 2008’s <em>Revolutionary Road</em>, portraying a troubled married couple.</p>
<p>Earlier this year, Winslet starred in the <a href="https://www.nme.com/brands/hbo" target="_blank" rel="noopener">HBO</a> crime drama <em>Mare Of Easttown</em> as detective sergeant Mare Sheehan. Speaking about the possibility of a second season, the actor said a follow-up should be inspired by recent police criminality in the UK and US.</p>
<p>“I don’t know if I’m going to be playing Mare again,” Winslet said. “But if we were to do a second season, then for sure these atrocities which have existed in the police force here and in America will find their way into the stories we tell. 100 per cent. You can’t pretend these things haven’t happened.”</p>
<p>She added: “It’s horrible, isn’t it? This moment in time. It’s horrific. You can hear me, I can’t quite find the words because we all feel so betrayed and powerless. We have to turn this moment into something meaningful. We have to use our voices on behalf of people who don’t have one.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/eric-clapton/">Eric Clapton</a> (also known as the <a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/kanye-west">Kanye West</a> of boomers) and his management seem to have realized that <a href="https://www.stereogum.com/2171005/eric-clapton-successfully-sued-a-woman-who-tried-to-sell-a-bootleg-cd-on-ebay/news/">winning a lawsuit</a> against a 55-year-old German widow over selling a bootleg CD might not be the best look for ol’ Slowhand.</p>
<p>On Wednesday, Clapton’s management released a statement that’s basically a long legalese version of the classic “Sorry not sorry” and somehow seems to imply that they didn’t realize who they were suing until it’s too late. The management also absorbs the blame from Clapton, because it’s not their names in the headlines, after all. Of course, this would all be way more believable if Clapton hadn’t spent the last 20+ months ruining any goodwill he’d built up from the 20th century with his feverishly <a href="https://www.spin.com/2021/06/van-morrison-and-eric-clapton-are-at-it-again-in-the-rebels/">hot COVID takes</a> and <a href="https://www.spin.com/2021/04/van-morrison-claims-hes-not-allowed-freedom-of-speech/">poor taste in musical partners</a>.</p>
<p>Check out the statement posted on Clapton’s fan club <a href="https://www.whereseric.com/eric-clapton-news/303-german-bootleg-case-statement">website</a> below.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>“Given the widespread and often misleading press reports about a recent bootleg case involving a woman in Germany, the following provides clarification to set the record straight.</p>
<p>Germany is one of several countries where sales of unauthorized and usually poor-quality illegal bootleg CDs are rife, which harms both the industry and purchasers of inferior product. Over a period of more than 10 years the German lawyers appointed by Eric Clapton, and a significant number of other well-known artists and record companies, have successfully pursued thousands of bootleg cases under routine copyright procedures.</p>
<p>It is not the intention to target individuals selling isolated CDs from their own collection, but rather the active bootleggers manufacturing unauthorised copies for sale. In the case of an individual selling unauthorised items from a personal collection, if following receipt of a “cease and desist” letter the offending items are withdrawn, any costs would be minimal, or might be waived.</p>
<p>Eric Clapton’s lawyers and management team (rather than Eric personally) identifies if an item offered for sale is illegal, and a declaration confirming that is signed, but thereafter Eric Clapton is not involved in any individual cases, and 95% of the cases are resolved before going to Court.</p>
<p>This case could have been disposed of quickly at minimal cost, but unfortunately in response to the German lawyers’ first standard letter, the individual’s reply included the line (translation): “feel free to file a lawsuit if you insist on the demands”. This triggered the next step in the standard legal procedures, and the Court then made the initial injunction order.</p>
<p>If the individual had complied with the initial letter the costs would have been minimal. Had she explained at the outset the full facts in a simple phone call or letter to the lawyers, any claim might, have been waived, and costs avoided.</p>
<p>However, the individual appointed a lawyer who appealed the injunction decision. The Judge encouraged the individual to withdraw the appeal to save costs, but she proceeded. The appeal failed and she was ordered to pay the costs of the Court and all of the parties.</p>
<p>However, when the full facts of this particular case came to light and it was clear the individual is not the type of person Eric Clapton, or his record company, wish to target, Eric Clapton decided not to take any further action and does not intend to collect the costs awarded to him by the Court. Also, he hopes the individual will not herself incur any further costs.</p>

<p>A little over a week ago, <a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/lcd-soundsystem">LCD Soundsystem</a> <a href="https://www.spin.com/2021/12/lcd-soundsystem-amazon-holiday-special/">announced</a> they’d be the subject of a new holiday special. Not just that, but it was to be released on December 22. The project is shepherded by Eric Wareheim, who is playing LCD frontman James Murphy and directing. The cast features a murderer’s row of who’s who, with Macaulay Culkin, Christine Ko, and Aparna Nancherla as the band. As for the special itself (titled <em>All My Friends</em> after the LCD song), it’s a ’90s-styled sitcom, which, if you grew up in the era of TGIF, teeters between the fun and the corny. According to Wareheim, that was the intent.</p>
<p>Backing up for a second, <em>All My Friends</em> came together at a lightning speed that’s pretty uncommon for Hollywood productions. “James [Murphy] gave me a call less than a month ago, he had this idea to do a holiday special, but to do it very special and unique,” Wareheim explains. “He had this idea, the sitcom element to it, and since I just made a sitcom called <em>Beef House</em> for Adult Swim, I was like, “I got this.'”</p>
<p>That he did.</p>
<p>We spoke with Wareheim in more detail about the special, what it was like working with Culkin and his favorite LCD Soundsystem concerts. Tune in to tonight on the <a href="https://www.twitch.tv/amazonmusic">Amazon Music channel</a> on Twitch or <a href="https://www.amazon.com/EVENT-38bd67ae-53c6-13d3-8f35-104041eec36e/dp/B09B2SLFKM">Prime Video</a> at 9 pm EST/6 pm PST.</p>

<p><strong>SPIN: What were some of the initial talks with James like for this?</strong><br><strong>Eric Wareheim:</strong> After he told me about the sitcom element, we proceeded to talk about the different band members and characters. James was really particular about he wanted this heartwarming kind of holiday special, like a sitcom that wasn’t too good. Most sitcoms aren’t very good but he was very down the middle, which I thought was so funny.</p>
<p><strong>This came together in just a month?</strong><br>It was really quick, but I could be wrong about this. Amazon and the band probably were planning a little bit before that. But it was one of the fastest things I ever made. I flew out to New York shot the show came back to L.A. And then in two days, we shot the sitcom. And that was like last week. So we’ve been working around the clock to get it out.</p>
<p><strong>Is this the fastest you’ve ever worked on a project like this before?</strong><br>I’ve made some commercial projects, like Super Bowl commercials that need to be turned off super quickly. So it felt like that. I have my team and my production company, a staff of people that I know and trust, and they just knew how to execute my vision perfectly. So without all those people, it would have been impossible.</p>
<p><strong>How long have you known James?</strong><br>I would say almost 15 years now. It’s been a long time. And we really bonded over a love for wine. When I lived in New York shooting <em>Master of None</em>, we would hang out a lot drink wine and hang out at the <a href="https://www.fourhorsemenbk.com/">Four Horsemen</a>. We actually shot at the Four Horsemen because we love James. And then I’ve been a fan of LCD Soundsystem forever. I’ve seen them a gazillion times and in many cities. We’re also in a movie called <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2112293/"><em>The Comedy</em></a>, which I kind of roped him into doing, which I thought was really cool. So we’ve been friends. But this is the largest project we’ve ever done together officially.</p>
<p><strong>How involved was James with the making of this?</strong><br>He was very involved. I mean, if you know, his music, or his record label, he’s a genius. When I make stuff, it’s usually that people give me a lot of creative freedom, and I do whatever I want. But with someone you respect, like James, I really took his feedback. He went through all of the bandmembers and described them. Tyler is this kind of person and Al was this kind of a person and let’s find people that look like them or kind of act like them. So I wrote the script by myself and I kind of came up with these really silly ideas of self-competence.</p>

<p><strong>What is the show like?</strong><br>Playing James was the highlight of my career. I stayed up the entire time just working on his look, mannerisms. I’m kidding, but it was fun that some of the characters who looked like the band some didn’t. I think it’s a great time capsule of how everyone looks right now. He [Murphy] said, “James should be the boring character.” He’s like the dad, but doesn’t really have any jokes. It was really fun to play someone like that.</p>
<p><strong>What was it like working with the king of Christmas, Macaulay Culkin?</strong><br>I didn’t know him before this project. And he just got it. Like, we got it and he was so willing to play the emotional character that has a lot of drama. And he plays it so well. He doesn’t play gaggy. He played it very real. It comes out so authentic and awesome, and sloppy at the same time. It had all the elements of the perfect character.</p>
<p><strong>So is the title,<em>All My Friends</em>, your favorite LCD song?</strong><br>“Someone Great” is my all-time favorite song. But then they opened with the song “On Repeat,” which is an older song and that’s kind of… because I’ve been editing this thing day and night for the last week, but that song really hits me hard. I really like that one.</p>
<p><strong>What are your favorite LCD Soundsystem shows you’ve seen?</strong><br>I saw them at Terminal 5 I think when they were going to break up [in 2011], which was unbelievably moving. Then I saw them at the Hollywood Bowl a couple of times and Hot Chip opened. Just an insane venue to see anything. hose three were like, very powerful. And I saw them just a couple of weeks ago at Brooklyn Steel and they shredded. There’s not many bands that I’m dancing to the entire time. I can’t think of many bands that kind of get me moving like that. They’re just the masters.</p>

<p>Of course, Eilish isn’t the first person that Bushell has taken to the drums for. Earlier this year, she knocked out <a href="http://spin.com/tag/slipknot">Slipknot</a>‘s <a href="https://www.spin.com/2021/06/nandi-bushell-duality-slipknot/">“Duality”</a> on drums, and the <a href="http://spin.com/tag/foo-fighters">Foo Fighters</a> even brought her onstage during their concert at the Forum in Los Angeles (which made our list of <a href="https://www.spin.com/2021/12/best-concerts-of-2021/">best concerts of the year</a>) to perform drums on the live version of “Everlong.”</p>
<p>Bushell also recently challenged herself by doing “the most challenging drum cover [she’s] done so far” when she <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKGoK5AuEz0">covered “Forty Six & 2”</a> by <a href="http://spin.com/tag/tool">Tool</a> (which was unrelated to Tool’s actual drummer, Danny Carey, <a href="https://www.spin.com/2021/12/tool-danny-carey-arrested-airport/">getting arrested while wearing a Chiefs jersey</a> around the same time).</p>

<p>The actor reflected upon getting older in Hollywood in a recent interview to promote her new movie <em>Being The Ricardos</em>.</p>

</ul>
<p>“There’s a consensus in the industry that as a female actor, at about 40, you’re done,” Kidman told <a href="https://dujour.com/culture/nicole-kidman-being-the-ricardos/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Dujour</em></a>.</p>
<p>“I never sat in a chair and heard someone say, ‘You’re past your due date,’” Kidman added, “But I’ve had times where you’re turned down and the door is shut on you. It’s definitely changing and moving.”</p>
<p>During the interview Kidman also said that “you’ve got to have a thick skin” when it comes to acting.</p>
<p>Ahead of the release of <em>Being The Ricardos</em>, she <a href="https://www.nme.com/news/film/aaron-sorkin-defends-casting-of-nicole-kidman-in-being-the-ricardos-3094334" target="_blank" rel="noopener">came up against criticism</a> from Lucille Ball fans, who believed that she failed to authentically embody the famed comedy star.</p>
<div id="jwplayer-video-pgiNat0x"></div>
<p>However, the film’s director Aaron Sorkin stood the casting choice. “The fact of the matter is when Nicole, as Lucille Ball, plays Lucy Ricardo, I think she does an incredible job of mimicking Lucy,” Sorkin told <em><a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-features/aaron-sorkin-nicole-kidman-lucille-ball-javier-bardem-being-the-ricardos-interview-1235045467/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Hollywood Reporter</a>. </em></p>
<p>He added: “Finding an actress who looked like Lucille Ball wasn’t important to me, especially because I was excited by the idea that Lucille Ball doesn’t look like Lucille Ball — and that every time we’re seeing Lucille Ball not as Lucy Ricardo, she should both literally and metaphorically let her hair down.”</p>

<p>50 Cent has been getting increasingly involved in the TV industry in recent years, starring in and executive producing hit Starz’ crime drama <em><a href="https://www.nme.com/blogs/tv-blogs/power-finale-how-it-all-ended-and-who-killed-ghost-2607005">Power</a>. </em>In 2020, a spin-off, <a href="https://www.nme.com/news/tv/power-book-ii-spinoff-trailer-mary-j-blige-2608193"><em>Power Book II</em>, was announced</a>, which was followed by <a href="https://www.nme.com/news/tv/50-cents-power-book-iii-raising-kanan-release-date-confirmed-watch-new-trailer-2929039">second spin-off <em>Power Book III: Raising Kanan</em></a>.</p>
<p><em>Power Book III: Raising Kanan</em> jumps back in time from the events of <em>Power</em>, focusing on the early story of Kanan (played by 50 Cent in <em>Power</em>) who is a young drug dealer working in New York City.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/lorde">Lorde</a> observed today’s winter solstice by releasing a new video for “Leader of a New Regime.”</p>
<p>Directed by Lorde and Joel Kefali, the video marks the fourth time the duo has collaborated on clips during the <em>Solar Power </em>album cycle. Just like the videos for “Fallen Fruit” and “Solar Power,” “Leader of a New Regime” is full of vivid imagery and takes place by a body of water.</p>
<p>In her email newsletter recapping the year, here’s what Lorde said about the video and its timing:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Solstices should always have offerings. So for you, here’s the LEADER OF A NEW REGIME video. Just a couple of bites, a feeling, a perfect midpoint in the SP journey. I hope you like it.</p>

<p>I have as much affinity for the song “Do They Know It’s Christmas?” as the next Gen-Xer. I know I’m not alone in the nostalgic resonance of the echoing, opening chimes, which will forever harken back to the rush of the first view of the video, the slow-motion assembly of some of our favorite artists—Sting, Bono, George Michael, Boy George, Phil Collins, and more—all coming together under the name of <a href="https://www.spin.com/tag/band-aid">Band Aid</a>, just in this precious first moment, for a greater cause.</p>
<p>It was 1984. We were told we, the listener, had the power to help the starving people of Ethiopia. All we had to do was purchase “Do They Know It’s Christmas?” The single went straight to No. 1 in the U.K., where it stayed for five weeks.</p>
<p>Band Aid sparked 1985’s Live Aid, the most successful fundraising concerts ever (there were two, simultaneously, one at London’s Wembley Stadium and the other at Philadelphia’s JFK Stadium). The concerts (and the ubiquitous merchandising sales — we really did buy the T-shirt) raised around a couple of hundred million dollars for famine relief. And inspired the donation of hundreds of millions of dollars more from UN and governmental funds and other highly capitalized relief organizations. We were saving Ethiopians.</p>
<p>Or so we believed.</p>
<p> </p>
<div class="ast-oembed-container"><iframe style="width: 698px; height: 393px;" title="Band Aid - Do they know it's christmas 1984 | HD - Widescreen 16:9" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/j3fSknbR7Y4?feature=oembed" width="698" height="393" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p> </p>
<p>“Do They Know It’s Christmas?” co-songwriter and ultimately Live Aid producer Bob Geldof probably had good intentions when he put it all together. However, when he ceremoniously, and not a little pompously, handed over the first tens of millions of dollars to then-Ethiopian President Mengistu Haile Mariam, dramatically backslapping him for the cameras, the money was not used to feed people, but to purchase weapons. Ethiopia was in the middle of a civil war and Mengistu was brutally repressing and slaughtering his own people who wanted to secede and form Eritrea.</p>
<p>Back in the West, we had no idea this was going on. It was later discovered that Mengistu was purposely starving the rebels to maintain his reign of tyranny and terror. And that the “famine” was mostly Mengistu’s military planes napalming the fields of the rebels.</p>
<p>Food sent to Ethiopia was left to rot on the docks in the ports. That is, after Mengistu’s army had taken as much as they wanted for themselves.</p>
<p>Foreign, independent relief agencies in the country, like Medecins Sans Frontieres, warned Geldof what was happening but he stubbornly ignored the facts, famously (and tragically) saying that if he had to deal with the Devil to help these people he would.</p>
<p>And boy, did he ever do the first part.</p>
<p>At the time, there was little-to-no news coverage about this ginormous fuck up— which led to an honorary knighthood for the now “Sir” Bob Geldof, bestowed by Queen Elizabeth II in 1986 for, what we now know were decent intentions with a diabolical outcome. If you’re wondering if this could have been prevented, if Geldof could have done better, the answer is yes: he could have listened to those on the actual front lines trying to help the hundreds of thousands of starving and dying people.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.spin.com/2015/07/live-aid-the-terrible-truth-ethiopia-bob-geldof-feature/"><em>SPIN</em> broke this story</a> in a powerful, investigative article in 1986, for which then editor-in-chief and <em>SPIN</em> founder Bob Guccione, Jr. received death threats for publishing the truth. “People didn’t want to believe that Live Aid inadvertently caused more suffering and death than the mostly man-made famine and war,” Guccione says. “They wanted to keep the fairy tale that buying a record and donating while watching the world’s biggest rock stars perform was fixing a problem.”</p>
<p>Looking back at the beginning, at “Do They Know It’s Christmas?”, we see some glaring missteps in the song’s conception. Bono’s famous line “Well, tonight thank God it’s them instead of you” has since been changed to “Well, tonight we’re reaching out and touching you”—for all the obvious and necessary reasons. “There won’t be snow in Africa” because there simply <em>isn’t s</em><em>now in Africa</em>, not because of a Christmas-related climate disaster. But one of the biggest issues of them all is ignoring the third of Ethiopians who are Muslim and who surely “know” it’s Christmas, but have chosen not to celebrate. Minor details when considering Mengistu’s goal for mass genocide, and Geldof’s blundering efforts, but still worth mentioning.</p>
<p>So…what happens now? The original song is still receiving plenty of annual radio play, and, as far as we know, Geldof’s honorary knighthood status hasn’t been revoked. The song has been remade twice—in 2004 and 2014—with further rounds of charity efforts. But the real issue is the way this song is perceived in history, the unintended but horrific legacy it launched, and the resistance to accepting the tragedy it ultimately contributed to.</p>
<p>What is it about ugly truth that angers some—even more than protests against Geldof himself? In a culture of cause and awareness, do you get to take a break in the name of a favorite holiday sing-along song? Is caring about people and history…seasonal?</p>
<p>Nearly four decades ago, some of the top musicians came together in the name of famine relief, genuinely believing they could do some good. You can hear the magic of hope in their voices, their spirit is real and pure. But how can we “let in light” and “banish shade” if we turn our back on the truth?</p>

<p>Directed by Philip Andelman as part of a promotional campaign for Gucci, the video’s warm, sepia-tinged lighting and dapper aesthetic matches the song perfectly. O’Connell performs its melody with gentle, flamenco-esque noodling, while Eilish approaches the vocal with a more relaxed composure than we’re used to seeing from her.</p>
<p>Take a look at the performance below:</p>

<p>Earlier this month, it was confirmed that <a href="https://www.nme.com/news/music/billie-eilish-has-already-started-writing-her-third-album-with-brother-finneas-3115539">work on Eilish’s third album was officially underway</a>, with O’Connell saying the pair were “really excited to start working on” their next batch of songs. When asked how far along they’d made it into the creative process, O’Connell said they had “interesting skeletons” for songs written, but were “not sure what animals they are”.</p>
<p>‘Happier Than Ever’ landed back in July. In addition to <a href="https://www.nme.com/news/music/billie-eilish-fights-a-literal-flood-of-emotion-in-striking-new-video-for-happier-than-ever-3007714">its title track</a>, the album was supported by singles <a href="https://www.nme.com/blogs/nme-blogs/billie-eilish-my-future-track-review-2718783">‘My Future’</a>, <a href="https://www.nme.com/reviews/billie-eilishs-new-song-therefore-i-am-is-review-2815185">‘Therefore I Am’</a>, <a href="https://www.nme.com/reviews/billie-eilishs-your-power-review-2930571">‘Your Power’</a>, <a href="https://www.nme.com/news/music/watch-billie-eilish-live-it-up-in-new-lost-cause-music-video-2954345">‘Lost Cause’</a>, <a href="https://www.nme.com/news/music/billie-eilish-announces-new-song-nda-arriving-next-week-2984133">‘NDA’</a> and <a href="https://www.nme.com/news/music/billie-eilish-teases-self-directed-music-video-for-male-fantasy-3111569">‘Male Fantasy’</a>.</p>
<p><em>NME</em> gave the album a <a href="https://www.nme.com/reviews/album/billie-eilish-happier-than-ever-review-3006594">five-star review</a>, saying it “fully establishes Billie Eilish as one of her generation’s most significant pop artists – and, better still, does so without repeating a single trick from <a href="https://www.nme.com/reviews/billie-eilish-album-review-when-we-all-fall-asleep-where-do-we-go-2467653">the debut that turned her life upside down</a>“.</p>

<p>Elsewhere, Eilish revealed last week that she was diagnosed with <a href="https://www.nme.com/tag/coronavirus">COVID-19</a> earlier in 2021; the artist told Howard Stern that<a href="https://www.nme.com/news/music/billie-eilish-says-that-she-recently-had-covid-it-was-bad-3117874"> if she weren’t vaccinated, she “would have died”</a>.

</ul>
<p>Created and written by Sam Levinson, the critically acclaimed series stars Zendaya as Rue Bennett, a drug addict who emerges from rehab struggling to make sense of the world. This starts to change with the arrival of Jules, played by Hunter Schafer.</p>
<p>The first season, released back in 2019, was followed by two specials. The first, <em>Trouble Don’t Last Always</em> aired last December, while <em>Fuck Anyone Who’s Not A Sea Blob</em> was released shortly afterwards in January 2021.</p>
<p>Set after the events of the two specials, the new trailer – which follows a teaser that was shared last month – begins with Rue wheeling around a luggage full of prescription drugs as she attends an addicts anonymous meeting.</p>
<p>“When I first met her I was just, immediately in love,” Rue says in a voiceover, as a flashback clip shows her locking eyes with Hunter Schafer’s Jules for the first time in the halls of their high school.</p>
<p>Elsewhere, an unidentified character wields a gun, parties kick off, police chases ensue, and we get a further look at <a href="https://www.nme.com/artists/dominic-fike">Dominic Fike</a>‘s yet-to-be-named character in action. See the new trailer below.</p>

<p>The trailer also features previous cast members Sydney Sweeney (Cassie), Alexa Demie (Maddy), Barbie Ferreira (Kat) and Mauda Apatow (Lexi).</p>
<p><em>Euphoria</em> season two starts streaming on <a href="https://www.nme.com/brands/hbo-max">HBO Max</a> on January 9, 2022.</p>
<p>Speaking about the <a href="https://www.nme.com/news/tv/zendaya-says-euphoria-season-two-is-not-going-to-be-a-fun-watch-3001175" target="_blank" rel="noopener">second season earlier this year</a>, Zendaya said: “It’s a difficult season. It’s going to be hard and it’s gonna be devastating sometimes, but I think Rue really deserves all of that care when it comes to her character because I think she represents a lot for so many people.</p>
<p>“I hope to make those people proud with our depictions of Rue [and] where all the characters go. I think this season’s not going to be easy, though.</p>
<p>“It’s not going to be a fun watch, I don’t think. Sometimes.”</p>
