A couple of months ago, Tears For Fears were called out for AI-generated artwork for their new album Songs For A Nervous Planet. Now, Kesha is the latest artist to catch heat for that very issue. The pop star — who has been riding the high of “Joyride,” her first song since being freed from […]

Miley Cyrus Responds To Lawsuit Over “Flowers” Similarity To Bruno Mars Hit
Miley Cyrus was sued in September by Tempo Music Investments, a company that claims to have an ownership stake in the 2013 Bruno Mars chart-topper “When I Was Your Man.” The company claims that Cyrus’s 2023 mega-hit “Flowers” — which returned her to the top of the charts, won the Grammy for Record Of The […]
21 Thoughts On The Coachella 2025 Poster
It’s noise. It’s all noise. You can get lost in it. When you tune in, you might catch a few quick shards of something familiar and comforting. You might be like: “Oh, huh, Blonde Redhead, that’s cool. Did one of their songs blow up on TikTok or something?” Most of the time, though, it’s sheer […]
Sacred Paws – “Another Day”
It’s been quite a while since we’ve heard from Sacred Paws.

Gridiron – “Talk Real”
Earlier this summer, the thunderously ignorant, rap-inflected hardcore band Gridiron were selling Charli XCX parody shirts. It had the Brat green and the font, but it said “Grid.” If you saw that shirt out in the wild, would you get it? Does anyone even refer to Gridiron as just “Grid”? It’s so stupid! I love […]
Molly Burch – “It’s Christmas Time (Again)”
At this point, nobody is too cool to make Christmas music. The Los Angeles indie-pop singer-songwriter Molly Burch was way ahead of everyone else on that. Burch released her Daydreamer LP last year, and she dropped an entire Christmas album called The Molly Burch Christmas Album back in 2019, and she followed it with the […]
Bartees Strange – “Xmas”
Bartees Strange is in the middle of rolling out his new album Horror, but he’s taking a break from that today to give us a great new holiday single. “Xmas” finds Strange tapping into that Mk.gee/1975 guitar sound and borrowing some melodic phrasing from Donny Hathaway’s “This Christmas” in service of pure, uncut seasonal melancholia.
