Last month, Caitlin Rose announced her first new album in almost a decade, CAZIMI, with the lead single “Black Obsidian.” Today, the Nashville musician is back with another song from it, “Nobody’s Sweetheart.” “For a long time I was doing a little series on Instagram where I would punchline all of the old sheet music […]
Stream Nick Cave & Warren Ellis’ Score For The New Movie Blonde
Blonde, the film based on the Joyce Carol Oates book that was inspired by the life of Marilyn Monroe, hits Netflix today.

Archers Of Loaf – “Aimee”
North Carolina indie-rock OGs Archers Of Loaf are nearing the release of their first album in 24 years, Reason In Decline. The album drops about three weeks from now, and today we get to hear one of its quietest, prettiest songs. “Aimee” is not a Pure Prairie League cover. That song is called “Amie.” This […]

The Knifeplay frontman lost his job “throwing pizzas” and realized he was actually better off on newly, and unexpectedly, generous unemployment benefits. “I ended up making more money not working,” […]
Frankie Cosmos – “F.O.O.F.”
Frankie Cosmos have a new album, Inner World Peace, out next month. The Greta Kline-led band has shared two singles from it so far, “One Year Stand” and “Aftershook,” and today they’re back with a third, “F.O.O.F.,” a gliding, likable one that contains a self-referential line about “listening to 2019 Frankie.” “For me, ‘F.O.O.F’ is […]
Pusha T Ethers The McRib
Earlier this year Arby’s wisely hired disgruntled former McDonald’s pitchman Pusha T, a master of the diss track, to verbally dress down the Filet-O-Fish. Now they’re running it back with a second song from the Clipse legend, this time targeting the McRib. Although this seems like the kind of joke that will get less funny […]
