Brian Wilson Dishes ‘Love And Mercy’ on ‘A Late Show’: Watch
Brian Wilson hasn’t gone surfing for a stretch. He’s in lockdown, like the rest of us. But the Beach Boys legend did Zoom in to A Tonight Show on Thursday night (June 4) for a performance of two songs. Sitting at a grand piano, he told the camera: “Hi, this is Brian Wilson everyone. I just want you guys to know that we’re all in this together.” The Rock And Roll Hall of Famer then launched into “Love and Mercy,” the opening track from his 1988 self-titled debut solo album. Wilson is warming up for the June 19 release of the 25th anniversary of his ode to California, Orange Crate Art, a collaborative album with uber-producer Van Dyke Parks. Orange Crate Art will also be issued on vinyl for the very first time. Watch the performance on Stephen Colbert’s late-night show below. You ...

Run the Jewels: RTJ4
RTJ4 begins at war with the police. The titular duo—Killer Mike and El-P—work to evade a swarming force of militant cops. They draw the mob in. They shoot back. They escape. It is a fantasy. The reality comes later. “You so numb you watch the cops choke out a man like me/Until my voice goes from a shriek to whisper—‘I can’t breathe’/And you sit there in the house on couch and watch it on TV,” Killer Mike raps on “walking in the snow,” his voice urgent. The lyric is about Eric Garner. Now it’s about George Floyd, too. That these two unjust killings occurred under tragically, uncannily similar circumstances (out in the open; with other officers standing by; with a man being suffocated to death; on camera) nearly six years apart only underscores the unending flow of racist violence in America...

Tuesday was designated as #TheShowMustBePaused by the music industry in order to give people a chance to “disconnect from work and reconnect with our community.” Guyanese-American singer SAINt JHN broke that Black Out Tuesday protest, but for a very good reason. “I don’t got no speeches, I ain’t a speech n*gga,” he wrote. “People are hurt and I feel them, period.” In a call for “better leadership” in the midst of a nationwide outbreak of protests over the police-related killing of unarmed black man George Floyd in Minneapolis — and nights of unrest around the country — the singer revealed on Tuesday that he was planning to shoot a video in the next few days for the remix to his hit “Roses” that he just reco...
