Margo Price Covers ‘WAP’ on The Daily Show
Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter Margo Price served up a mellow version of the sexually graphic Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion hit “WAP” on The Daily Show last night (Aug. 14.) Host Trevor Noah and correspondent Dulcé Sloan invited Price’s performance to further their conversation about the media’s double standards and sexist coverage of presumptive vice presidential candidate Kamala Harris, questioning whether a country version of the controversial song would incite the same outrage that the rappers’ original version has. When Price finished her performance, she quipped, “let’s see how they like that one, Dulce.” Noah’s response? “Damn, that was actually amazing. Still graphic, but amazing.” Price released her third album, That’s How Rumors Get St...

Miley Cyrus Drops Sexy Self-Directed Video for New Single ‘Midnight Sky’
Miley Cyrus dropped her “Midnight Sky” single and video, appropriately enough, at midnight. Apt personal lyrics in “Midnight Sky” include, “I was born to run / I don’t belong to anyone.” Cyrus directed the clip, in which she appears naked, lounging in a colorful ball pit. According to a release, “in creating the song and video, Miley drew from strong female musical icons, like Stevie Nicks, Joan Jett, and Debbie Harry, who have always been so generous, and have been her greatest allies and inspiration. The video showcases Miley as her true self: unapologetic, diverse, sexy, confident, experimental, and strong. Miley has proven to be many things, but boring is not one of them. ‘Midnight Sky’ signifies the next step in her artistic evolution.” In an appearance on Alexandra Cooper’...
The Flaming Lips Share New Video for ‘Will You Return/When You Come Down’
The Flaming Lips have managed to be quite productive recently despite being in quarantine for most of the year. With their new album coming out in less than a month, the Lips have released yet another video with “‘Will You Return / When You Come Down.” Directed by Wayne Coyne and longtime Lips collaborator George Salisbury, the clips sees them performing separately while being divided from each other behind a plastic sheet. The song is about loss (if you didn’t gather that from the title) and Coyne’s lyrics are reflective of that in the somber tune, especially with lyrics like “Shooting star/Crashing in your car/What went wrong/Now all your friends are gone.” So far, the Lips have released “You N’ Me Sellin’ Weed,” “Dinosaurs on the Mou...
You Wouldn’t Believe: 311 Reflects on 30 Years as Rock’s Perennial Optimists
It was more than 28 years ago that five ganja-toking, Goldeneye-obsessed, Bad Brains-worshipping musicians, known collectively as 311, left their hometown of Omaha to chase a record deal in a post-riots Los Angeles. The odds weren’t in their favor, and there was no guarantee things would work out for the young Nebraskans. “There was no Plan B for us,” bassist Aaron “P-Nut” Wills tells SPIN. “Hell, there was no Plan A. We were just going for it, and we were just playing. We were a band trying to make a new sound, by just falling in love with these rhythms and these ideas and having fun together, really.” Today, over three decades after their first official live gig, opening for Fugazi at the Sokol Arena, 311 is essentially a corporation. The genre-fusing stoners — who broke out at the onset...
