Waxahatchee – "So Hot You’re Hurting My Feelings" (Caroline Polachek Cover)
If you were watching Katie Crutchfield and Kevin Morby’s most recent Instagram Live stream on the eve of the release of Waxahatchee’s Saint Cloud like I was (Crutchfiends, rise up!), there was a point when Crutchfield tried to play a cover of Caroline Polachek’s Pang track “So Hot You’re Hurting My Feelings.” She couldn’t nail […]
Banger! Pussycat Dolls' "React" Gets A Club Remix From Cash Cash
Pussycat Dolls Return With ‘React’ Let’s be honest. The fact that Pussycat Dolls’ epic comeback single, “React,” hasn’t been a chart-topping smash is a crime against good taste and blatant homophobia. The rejuvenated quintet served racy lyrics, an even racier video and one of the best dance routines of 2020. It’s peak PCD and deserves […]

Phish Are Debuting Their New Album 'Sigma Oasis' Via Livestream Tonight
Phish haven’t released a proper studio album since 2016’s Big Boat. Partially that’s because in the world of Phish, studio albums are nearly beside the point. The Phish experience is allegedly predicated on the live experience, and indeed the polarizing jam-band luminaries — who’ve been enjoying a bit of an indie-rock renaissance in recent years […]
Roger Waters Covers Victor Jara's "The Right To Live In Peace": Listen
Peace is one of Roger Waters’ favorite subjects. He’s one of the most outspoken celebrity supporters of Palestine, he regularly speaks up for political causes. So it makes sense that he’d use his downtime — he had to postpone his upcoming tour until next year due to coronavirus — to do his own rendition of […]
Bad History Month – "A Survey Of Cosmic Repulsion"
Last month, Boston mainstay Sean Sprecher announced his latest album as Bad History Month, Old Blues, with the rambling and impressive 13-minute single “Waste Not.” Today, he’s back with another song from it, “A Survey Of Cosmic Repulsion,” that has the same galaxy-brain scope and manages to fit into half the time. Sprecher places his […]
Amber Mark Covers Nirvana's "Heart-Shaped Box" As A Lush, Funky R&B Jam: Listen
Right now, a lot of people are covering other people’s songs. They’re sitting home on quarantine, they’re messing around with acoustic guitars, and they’re staring soulfully into their webcams, sharing their own versions of their favorite tunes. But Amber Mark’s new single isn’t that. Instead, it’s a radical reimagining — a full-studio version of a […]
