A couple months back, the Australian provocateur Kirin J Callinan announced a new album, If I Could Sing, which he promised would come out “sometime in the southern winter o 2023” and now has a firm release date: June 23.

Watch Tyler, The Creator Debut Estate Sale Songs With Vince Staples At Pop-Up LA Show
Last month, just a few days after announcing it, Tyler, The Creator released a deluxe edition of his great 2021 album Call Me If You Get Lost. The new version of the album, known as The Estate Sale, featured eight new songs from the Call Me If You Get Lost sessions, and those tracks had […]
Cable Ties – “Change”
In June, the Australian trio Cable Ties are releasing a new album, All Her Plans, their follow-up to 2020’s Far Enough. They’re shared two singles from it so far, “Perfect Client” and “Time For You,” and today they’re back with another track, “Change.” “[‘Change’] contrasts the traumatization of victim/survivors by the so-called justice system with […]
Long Beard & Ryan Galloway – “Posters”
Just think about how long your beard could be if you’d started growing it the day the last Long Beard album dropped. It’s been close to four years since Leslie Bear released Means To Me, which itself arrived four years after Long Beard’s stellar debut Sleepwalker. We don’t have word of a third album today, […]
Tim Kinsella & Jenny Pulse – “Sun Inspector”
Married Chicago musicians Tim Kinsella (Joan Of Arc, Cap’n Jazz, Owls) and Jenny Pulse have been making music and touring together since 2018 under the moniker Good Fuck.

Rico Nasty – “Turn It Up” (Prod. 100 Gecs)
The combination of Rico Nasty and 100 Gecs has already proven electric. Today the brash rap iconoclast and hyperpop poster children have linked up again. “Turn It Up” is not the genre-bending head trip you might expect from a Rico x Gecs summit. It’s a hard, straightforward hip-hop track with lots of empty space for […]
Foyer Red – “Pocket”
Next month, Foyer Red will release their debut LP, Yarn The Hours Away. We’ve already heard singles such as “Etc,” “Plumbers Unite!,” and “Gorgeous.” Today, we’re getting one more called “Pocket,” and it comes with a video directed by Dewey Pileggi. Here’s what singer Elana Riordan had to say about “Pocket”: This song was by […]
Four Tet – “Three Drums”
Four Tet just headlined the main stage at Coachella. There are some caveats to that sentence, of course. Four Tet was DJ’ing alongside his friends and frequent collaborators Skrillex and Fred again.., and they were last-minute replacements after the whole much-documented Frank Ocean boondoggle. But that’s still a pretty amazing come-up for our guy Kieran […]
Watch Billy Joel Perform “Los Angelenos” For The First Time in 42 Years
Billy Joel is almost a decade deep into doing near-monthly shows at Madison Square Garden, hindered only by the pandemic, and he mixes up his set lists a little bit each time. This year alone, he’s paid tribute to Jeff Beck with two covers, covered Warren Zevon amid his campaign to get Zevon nominated to […]
Ed Sheeran Testifies In Marvin Gaye Copyright Trial
Ed Sheeran testified today at the highly publicized copyright trial alleging he copied Marvin Gaye’s “Let’s Get It On” to create 2014’s “Thinking Out Loud.” Appearing at federal court in Manhattan, Sheeran said he and co-writer Amy Wadge had created “Thinking Out Loud” independently, as reported by the New York Times. “Yes, Amy Wadge and […]
