NYPD Issues Statement Regarding Cops Throwing Protester In Unmarked Van [Video]
Source: Ira L. Black – Corbis / Getty Even though relations between the law and the community continue to be tense, a squad from The Big Apple has figured out how to drop the ball big time.

In the brief clip four plain-clothed officers are seen trying to restrain an 18-year protester in lower Manhattan and then proceed to throw her in an unmarked KIA model van. The captive has been identified as a transgender woman named Nicki Stone. Luckily there were others on the scene that captured the footage. “Suddenly there was an unmarked grey van that moved out in front of us that had been waiting for us,”...

Angel Olsen Brings ‘Whole New Mess’ to Tonight Show
On the same day that she announced her new album, Whole New Mess, Angel Olsen has brought its title track to The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Tuesday night (July 28). Filmed at the Masonic Temple in Asheville, North Carolina, Olsen stood at the mic with her guitar and gave fans a first listen to what the song sounds like in a live setting. Olsen has previously said that Whole New Mess was inspired by difficult changes in her personal life. “I had gone through this breakup, but it was so much bigger than that — I’d lost friendships, too,” she said. “When you get out of a relationship, you have to examine who you are or were in all the relationships. I wanted to record when I was still processing these feelings. These are the personal takes, encapsulated in a moment.” Watch Ang...
Marilyn Manson Announces New LPWe Are Chaos, Shares Title Track
Marilyn Manson will release his 11th studio album, WE ARE CHAOS, on September 11 via Loma Vista Recordings. Manson previewed the album, which he co-produced with Shooter Jennings (Brandi Carlile, Duff McKagan, Tanya Tucker), by issuing the title track, which echoes ’70s era David Bowie. “We are sick, fucked up, and complicated,” Manson sings on the track, a slick power ballad that builds from acoustic strums into an arena-friendly chorus. The video, directed by Matt Mahurin, features the singer edited into a series of digital landscapes — his head floating in clouds, covered in blood, transformed into a pill that’s swallowed by an open mouth. Manson wrote, recorded, and completed WE ARE CHAOS before the pandemic hit. He spoke about the record and song in a statement, noting, “When I l...
beabadoobee Covers Daniel Johnston’s “Walking the Cow”: Stream
beabadoobee has already proven to have not just prodigious talent, but an expansive appreciation for her predecessors. She’s made songs referencing Pavement, dug deep into ’90s rock on the killer single “Care”, and covered The 1975. Now, the rising indie musician is once again demonstrating the breadth of her musical knowledge by delivering a cover of Daniel Johnston’s “Walking the Cow”. The acoustic cover comes as part of an at-home session for Apple Music. Speaking to the platform about why she chose to tackle Johnston’s 1993 track, beabadoobee said it was “because he is one of my favorite songwriters of all time.

Phoebe Bridgers Conjures Spooky New Video For “I Know the End”: Watch
Phoebe Bridgers has conjured up a new music video from her outstanding sophomore LP Punisher. Based on the epic album closer “I Know the End”, the visuals emphasize the darkness in Bridgers’ trademark whimsy. “I Know the End” is a musical two-for-one special; the first half is aching and folksy, while the second slowly builds into a towering apocalyptic frenzy. This frenzied urgency informs much of the Alissa Torvinen-directed video, which follows Bridgers as she navigates dark corridors, emerges from a tub of water, and discovers a locker room full of skeleton onesies, her favorite outfit as of late. The strange and spooky scenes eventually lead up to an epic finale filmed at an audience-less Memorial Coliseum in Los Angeles. It’s there that she reunites with her band and gets into a...
