Cloud Nothings Prep New Quarantine LP, Subscription Service
Cloud Nothings will release a new studio album, The Black Hole Understands, on Friday, July 3 via Bandcamp. The streaming platform is waiving its fees that day to support recording artists during the coronavirus pandemic. The indie-rock band also announced a Bandcamp subscription service, offering fans a monthly digital EP, merch discount and (for “super subscribers”) two vinyl records a year. Cloud Nothings wrote and recorded their new LP remotely in self-isolation, collaborating through email, Pitchfork reports. “It’s a quarantine album, so like…not actually recorded live,” singer-guitarist Dylan Baldi tweeted Thursday. “I’m playing instruments and singing, [Jayson Gerycz] is playing drums. it’s poppy and also kind of sad. which is more or less my state of mind.” They will donate 25 perc...
Tom Morello Teams Up With Shea Diamond and Dan Reynolds for ‘Stand Up’ Charity Song
Tom Morello has unveiled his new song “Stand Up,” a high-octane collaboration with Shea Diamond, Dan Reynolds of Imagine Dragons and The Bloody Beetroots. On the urgent, hard-rocking track, which dropped Thursday (July 2), the collective artists rail against police brutality, racism and white privilege. “When I call the police/ Will they just kill me?/ Will they just kill you?/ When I call the police/ Will they just protect me/ ‘Cause I’m white-skinned too?/ Stand up/ ‘Cause you are standing for nothing/ Just shut up/ Cause your words mean nothing,” Reynolds screams on the chorus before trading verses with Diamond about police corruption and the danger it poses to Black lives. Proceeds from the track will be split between a number of nonprofits foc...
Ed Sheeran, Rolling Stones and More U.K. Music Stars Plead With Government for Live Sector Aid
Some 1,500 artists backing #LetTheMusicPlay warn of ‘mass insolvencies’ from ongoing concert lockdowns due to COVID-19. Some of the U.K.’s biggest music stars are pleading with their government to come to the aid of the £4.5 billion ($5.6 billion) live music sector during the coronavirus lockdown, warning that government support is vital to prevent “mass insolvencies.” A group of 1,500 artists — including Ed Sheeran, Dua Lipa, The Rolling Stones, Rita Ora and many others — signed a letter to Oliver Dowden, the secretary of state for digital, culture, media and sport, urging the government to create a funding package for the live sector similar to what Germany’s government did last month. “With no end to social distancing in sight or financial support from government yet agreed,...
‘Blinding Lights’ Still Shining Bright: The Weeknd Makes Record Return to No. 1 on Pop Songs Chart
“I think people have been longing for simpler times and a nostalgic escape,” says one radio programmer. The Weeknd‘s “Blinding Lights” again beams at maximum wattage on Billboard‘s Pop Songs radio airplay chart, making a record-setting return to No. 1. The song revisits the top spot on the July 4-dated chart (which tallies plays on a panel of over 160 mainstream top 40 stations) after eight weeks at No. 2. No song had previously spent more than four weeks out of the summit before revisiting the coveted rank in the survey’s three-decade history. “Blinding Lights,” released on XO/Republic Records, previously topped Pop Songs for three weeks, on charts dated April 18 and 25 and May 2. Its total span of reigning, thus, covers 12 weeks, the ...
6ix9ine Dropping New Song ‘Yaya’ on Friday: ‘This Is the Best One I Did So Far’
6ix9ine‘s steady release of new music continues. The 24-year-old New York rapper took to Instagram on Thursday (July 2) to announce that his new song “Yaya” and its accompanying music video will drop Friday at 11:30 a.m. PT/2:30 p.m. ET. “THIS IS THE BEST ONE I DID SO FAR,” he captioned the announcement. In late June, 6ix9ine scored his first No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart with “Trollz,” a collaboration with Nicki Minaj. That song followed his comeback single “Gooba” in early May. Earlier in the week, the rainbow-haired rapper teased the new Spanish-language “Yaya” with a brief video of himself lip-synching the track while getting a lap dance from a bikini-clad woman at his home studio. “THIS FRIDAY YAYA WE...
PJ Harvey to Reissue ‘Rid of Me,’ ‘4-Track Demos’ on Vinyl
PJ Harvey will continue her vinyl reissue campaign with Rid of Me and 4-Track Demos, out on Aug. 21 via UMe/Island. The Steve Albini-produced Rid of Me, Harvey’s acclaimed second LP, will appear on vinyl for the first time since the record’s 1993 release. 4-Track Demos, originally released five months later, collects her demo home recordings from the previous two years — including eight songs that wound up on Rid of Me and six additional tracks. Both albums will be available on 1-LP, 180-gram black vinyl with download cards, full-color outer sleeves and printed inner sleeves. Both are available to pre-order. The releases will follow the first two installments of Harvey’s full-catalog reissue series: Dry, her debut studio album from 1992, and Dry – Demos, both set for release on July 2...
Josh Klinghoffer’s Latest Pluralone Single Features Flea and Jack Irons
Josh Klinghoffer has remained extremely busy since he was dismissed from the Red Hot Chili Peppers last December. He’s hunkered down in his Los Angeles area home and threw himself into creating new music, which is something he told us he would do, but certainly didn’t expect to happen before the coronavirus pandemic struck. In the guise of Pluralone, his solo project, Klinghoffer was slated to open for Pearl Jam on the first leg of their Gigaton tour before that got pushed (though he did recently perform with them on “Dance of the Clairvoyants” on the All in WA special). He’s shared a few covers from quarantine, but now, he’s ready to unveil some new original music. Enlisting former Red Hot Chili Peppers bandmate Flea and ex-Chili Peppers drummer Jack Irons, Klinghoffer has share...
Father John Misty to Release New EP With Leonard Cohen Covers
Father John Misty has had a relatively quiet year, with the exception of his latest live album, Offkey in Hamburg, which benefited MusiCares’ COVID-19 fund. But tomorrow, July 3, singer-songwriter Josh Tillman will release a new EP featuring a slew of rare covers. Anthem+3 features a new rendition of Leonard Cohen’s “Anthem,” along with three previously issued covers: Cohen’s “One of Us Cannot Be Wrong,” Yusuf/Cat Stevens’ “Trouble” and Link Wray’s “Fallin’ Rain’.” Just like PUP’s recently announced live album, the EP will be available for one day on Bandcamp as part of the company’s “No Revenue Share Day.” All of the proceeds from the project, which is out July 14 via wider release, will benefit CARE Action and Ground Game LA. Cohen’s “Anthem” was recorded a ...
Best Movies and TV Shows Coming to Netflix, Disney Plus, Hulu, HBO Max, and Amazon Prime in July 2020
More streaming networks means more hours potentially lost to skimming. Consequence of Sound doesn’t want any of that for you (or for themselves), which is why they’ve rounded up the best of the best on all the major streaming networks. Granted, we’ve already shown you everything coming to Amazon Prime, Disney Plus, HBO Max, Hulu, Netflix, and Shudder in July 2020. But, for brevity’s sake, we’ve assembled an easy-to-read guide that you can consult throughout the month. When it comes to strictly flicks, Hulu and HBO Max have everyone beat. For laughs, head to Hulu for Palm Springs, the best of Christopher Guest, the first three Trip films, Liar, Liar, My Cousin Vinny, and the list goes on. For new tentpoles, HBO Max is premiering Midway, Motherless Brooklyn, Harriet, and Last Christmas....
July Album Anniversaries Every Music Fan Should Know About

Read on for a rundown of the albums we’ll be revisiting all month long and information on some of the pieces we’ll be featuring in correlation with these must-know anniversaries.
