It’ll probably be a few weeks before Coachella announces their 2025 lineup, but little birds have been giving us clues here and there about who might perform. Last month, we heard that Fred again.. was a “lock” for the festival. Today, Post Malone has announced his forthcoming Big Ass Stadium Tour — his words, not […]

Franz Ferdinand – “Night Or Day”
More than two decades after the release of their classic self-titled debut, sharp-and-fancy Scottish post-punkers Franz Ferdinand remain a model of whomp-ass consistency.
