David Bowie Undergoes a Transformation in First Official Stardust Trailer: Watch
Stardust is an upcoming film that recounts David Bowie’s first-ever US publicity tour. The 1971 trip would go on to heavily influence his Hunky Dory album, as well as helped birth his iconic Ziggy Stardust character. Following a teaser clip earlier this year, a full official trailer has been released today. In the visual, we witness Bowie (played by Johnny Flynn) slowly undergoing a transformation into otherworldly alter ego Ziggy Stardust. Guiding him on this path is his Mercury Records press person Rob Oberman (Marc Maron), one of the few label employees to really believe in his music and potential. Bowie’s first wife Angie (Jena Malone) also offers him uplifting pep talks. “Rock star or somebody impersonating a rock star, what’s the difference?” Flynn’s Bowie says to those confused by h...
Autechre Drop Surprise Album PLUS: Stream
Autechre have dropped the new surprise album PLUS. Stream it below via Apple Music and Spotify. This is the second new album from the electronic duo in less than a month, following on the October 16th release SIGN. Before that, fans waited seven years for the album-length follow-up to 2013’s Exai, although the British veterans were hardly idle in-between. In 2016, Rob Brown and Sean Booth released elseq 1-5, which was made of five 50-minute segments, while 2018’s NTS Sessions was taken from an NTS Radio residency and had a total running time of about eight hours. The pair continue to program their own sounds themselves, though their relationship to technology has evolved. Autechre’s current system allows for many more channels — more layers of complexity — than their early efforts. But the...

De La Soul Drops “Remove 45” ft. Styles P, Talib Kweli, Pharoahe Monch, Mysonne & Chuck D
Source: Paul Bergen / Getty Fire the President already. That’s the theme of De La Soul‘s new song titled “Remove 45” featuring a woke line up of guests MCs; Styles P, Talib Kweli, Pharoahe Monch, Mysonne and Chuck D. “It’s hard to spread harmony when his policies are for harm,” spits Pos Dnous. A Chuck D’s sample supplies the hook and the Public Enemy frontman also drops a verse of his own. A lot of filthy bars on this one, and they appropriately drag Donald Trump for filth. [embedded content] Unfortunately, De La’s Tommy Boy Records catalog of classic tunes is still in streaming limbo. But, they do reportedly have a new album in the works with production from DJ Premier and Pete Rock. Oh yeah, vote on Nov. 3, if you haven’t already.
