Best Coast Revamp ‘Boyfriend’ to Raise Funds for the Trevor Project
Best Coast has shared a new 2020 version of their hit single, “Boyfriend.” As part of the Bandcamp Friday, Best Coast re-recorded and changed the pronouns on the 10-year-old track to make it more inclusive. “In the decade since writing this song,” Bethany Cosentino said about the song in a statement. “I have had a lot of time to reflect on not only that obsession, but the way in which I have at times, glorified obsessive and toxic romantic relationships in my songwriting. This song in particular started to feel problematic to me around the time I really started working on myself at age 30. I would listen back to my lyrics and think about how much I was neglecting myself and how I made this guy the protagonist of my own life and story.” She continued, ...
The Replacements Share ‘I Don’t Know’ Demo
The Replacements have an extensive box set chronicling the Pleased to Meet Me era that arrives in October. Ahead of its release, fans can hear a newly shared demo of “I Don’t Know.” As you can hear below on the self-mocking track, the lo-fi, garage-y, bare-bones 1986 version (which was recorded at Minneapolis’ Blackberry Way Studios) of the song, the band was in the zone before they hit Ardent Studios in Memphis with producer Jim Dickinson in April 1987. If you listen carefully where the song’s breakdown should be, you can hear someone yelling (or singing depending on your point of view) “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.” The box set will feature 29 previously unreleased songs, including 15 demos recorded at Minneapolis’ Blackberry Way Studios in 1986....

Monsta X will perform during an epic virtual concert, Live From Seoul with Luv, on Saturday (Aug. 8). Presented by LiveXLive, the one-of-a-kind livestream will serve as the idols’ only live music event for the year, and will feature them performing a combination of tracks from their 2020 English-language LP All About Luv and hits in their native Korean, including “Fantasia,” “Follow,” “Dramarama” and more.

Foo Fighters Cancel 2020 Van Tour Dates Amid Coronavirus Pandemic
Update (Aug. 7): The dates for the Foo Fighters’ 2020 Van Tour, which had previously been rescheduled, have been cancelled altogether. “Foo Fighters have cancelled the Van Tour 2020,” a statement read. “All shows listed below will be automatically refunded…we look forward to seeing you all as soon as it is safe for everyone to do so.” “Playing a gig with a sock full of broken bones is one thing, but playing a show when YOUR health and safety is in jeopardy is another,” Frontman Dave Grohl said a in an earlier statement when originally announcing a postponement, referencing the time he fell off a stage and broke his leg in June 2015 but still performed. “We f—-n’ love you guys. So let do this right and rain check s–t.&#...
Inside Pollen, the Mysterious Hit Spotify Playlist Where No Rules Apply
In mid-2018, a team of Spotify employees were preparing a new, genre-less playlist — one of the first of its kind for the streaming service, which was shaking up the industry with its hit-making hip-hop playlist RapCaviar. But they couldn’t decide on a title and cover design that would encompass the playlist’s eclectic sound without putting a box around it. “It was an eight-month saga,” Spotify North America team lead of music culture & editorial John Stein now remembers with a chuckle — until Spotify then-creative director Cecilia Azcarate began playing around with intricate, anatomical drawings of the insides of flowers. “The word ‘pollen’ was thrown around, and we all liked how symmetrical it felt,” Stein says. “There’s a c...
Post Malone’s ‘Circles’ Sets More Records With Run to No. 1 on Adult Contemporary Chart
Post Malone’s “Circles” adds more honors to its chart résumé, as it reaches No. 1 on Billboard’s Adult Contemporary radio airplay ranking (dated Aug. 8). With the coronation, Post Malone becomes the first artist to have topped both the AC and Rap Airplay charts as the sole lead artist on each No. 1. On Rap Airplay, he reigned with “Rockstar,” featuring 21 Savage, for two weeks in 2017. Plus, “Circles” rules in its 41st week on the AC chart, completing the longest climb to No. 1 by a solo male in the chart’s 59-year history. It falls shy of the overall record by one week: matchbox twenty’s “Unwell” hit the top in its 42nd frame in October 2001. On the all-genre, multi-metric Billboard Hot 100, “Circles,” rel...
Foo Fighters Cancel 25th Anniversary Van Tour
To what should come as no surprise to anyone, Foo Fighters have canceled their Van tour that was supposed to Dave Grohl and company on the same route as their first tour from 1995. And yes, it’s canceled due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Foo Fighters were slated to launch the tour in April in Phoenix and continue across the country. That tour was originally pushed to October after the pandemic shut things down in March, but today’s decision is the inevitability at a time when cases continue to rise. Important information about the Van Tour 2020. pic.twitter.com/E1E8AS0lx8 — Foo Fighters (@foofighters) August 7, 2020 The band will likely focus on their new album, something that Grohl himself said was just about done in an interview earlier this year, and he compared it...
