Macklemore Delivers New Track and Video “Maniac”
Macklemore on Friday dropped off a new cut, “Maniac,” featuring rising artist Windser and production by Ryan Lewis and Budo. The comeback track, which arrives after the Seattle artist’s previous single, “Chant,” comes with an accompanying Jake Magraw-directed music video that pays homage to Outkast’s 2003 hit single “Hey Ya!” “I don’t wanna dance with a maniac / ‘Cause the moment we touch, it’s a heart attack,” Windser sings on the chorus. “You know I love you, honey, but you got me running, yeah / I could give a damn, you’re a maniac.” “The first time I heard Windser singing the hook on ‘Maniac’ I fell in love with it,” Macklemore said in a statement. “It’s infectious and relatable and I couldn’t get it out of my head. ‘Maniac’ is about the euphoria of a relationship that isn’t perfect, b...
How to Buy An AR-15
“So you got an AR!” says a gunned-up colleague named Curtis. We’re care-workers doing a morning shift in a supported-living facility, and my news puts a spring in his step. “Congratulations,” Curtis says. “Matt, you are becoming American. Gotta assault rifle; all you gotta do now is get fat.” “Cheers, mate,” I say, wiping down a countertop and thinking how inconceivable this was before I moved to Oregon from Australia, where rampage-esque firearms were outlawed and taken (with compensation) from existing owners way back in 1996. Curtis, a hell of a great care-worker but not someone I know well, is the chattiest with me he’s ever been. We’re bonding. “So, Matt,” he says. “Why’d you buy an AR? For shits and giggles?” “Pretty much, but it was a panic-purchase,” I say. “Biden was going on abou...
LØLØ Delivers Scathing Pop-Rock in New Song ‘u turn me on (but u give me depression)’
LØLØ’s new single “u turn me on (but u give me depression)” is an excellent summer anthem for anyone who secretly hates their partner. “I wish I fell for an ax murderer instead of you / He’d kill me too but at least he’d make it quick.” LØLØ rolls her eyes, arms crossed over a bright orange bedspread, as she delivers her first line, in the music video, next to a man who is fast asleep. “No he wouldn’t get me hot and heavy / Then pretend he never met me and make me such a crazy bitch.” [embedded content][embedded content] “u turn me on (but u give me depression)” is a pop-punk battle cry rich with upbeat instrumentals. The music starts off with a bare-bones guitar riff before building up to crisp drum claps and a resonant bass line. Speaking of the new track, LØLØ says, of the lover, “...

Shazam Declares Drake Its Most Popular Artist
On the 20th anniversary of the service’s launch, Shazam has declared that Drake is the most Shazamed artist of all time. The rapper has over 350 million Shazams across his discography, counting both his own tracks and those he’s featured on.

Since its launch two decades ago, Shazam has accrued more than 225 million global monthly users and surpassed 70 billion song recognitions. While it’s not entirely surprising that Drake is coming out on top, Shazam has played a pivotal role in sharing music across the globe and introducing tracks to listeners who may not have come across them otherwi...
Eddie Vedder Salutes Joe Strummer’s 70th With ‘Long Shadow’ Cover
Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vedder has paid tribute to late Clash frontman Joe Strummer ahead of what would have been the latter’s 70th birthday with a cover of “Long Shadow,” from the posthumous Strummer and the Mescaleros album Streetcore. In the Lance Bangs-directed video, Vedder performs the song solo acoustic next to a campfire, and afterwards burns his handwritten lyric sheets in the flames. “I just think that what Joe did with the Mescaleros and those records, and those songs, and those words, it was a very communal sound,” Vedder says at the end of the clip. “I think when you have a communal sound, the listener feels like they can be part of that community.” Strummer played a major role in Vedder’s eventual membership in Pearl Jam, thanks to a chance meeting at a San Diego club in 1989. At t...
Demi Lovato Addresses “Survivor’s Guilt” Over Mac Miller’s Death on New Song “DEAD FRIENDS”: Stream
Demi Lovato has opened up about feeling “survivor’s guilt” over the death of Mac Miller, whose passing from a drug overdose took place just weeks after the singer survived her own. After speaking about the topic in an interview with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe earlier this week, the pop star has released a song called “DEAD FRIENDS” off her new album, HOLY FVCK. Part of Lovato’s return to her pop-rock roots, “DEAD FRIENDS” finds the 29-year-old singer reflecting on having made it through a near-fatal overdose that was followed by three strokes and a heart attack. Lovato ponders why she made it through and her friends didn’t with lyrics like, “I’m waking up right now/ And they never will/ Again, I still can’t understand.” On the chorus, she adds, “I danced with the devil, I made it th...
Harry Styles Talks Joni Mitchell, Elvis, and Old One Direction Merch in Nardwuar Interview: Watch
Doot doola doot doo — when he wasn’t busy singing onstage with Lizzo or Shania Twain, Harry Styles’ trip to Coachella also included a catch-up with Nardwuar the Human Serviette, which you can finally watch today. The wide-spanning interview covers topics such as Styles’ affinity for Chinese food, hanging out with Joni Mitchell, making human pyramids onstage with One Direction, and more. Of course, it’s not a Nardwuar interview without some hyper-specific gifts, and his first offering to Styles was a vinyl pressing of Elvis Presley’s single “The Girl of My Best Friend.” “’The Girl of My Best Friend’ was probably the first song I learned the words to, and I used to sing it in my bedroom when I was a kid,” Styles said as he happily accepted the present. Nardwuar also asked Styles about t...
HBO Max Removes Over 200 Classic Sesame Street Episodes
In an apparent bid to save money on residuals, Warner Bros. Discovery has been removing content from HBO Max. The process began earlier this month with the unceremonious removal of dozens of HBO Max original series and movies such as Vinyl and Camping, and An American Pickle; earlier this week, another 36 titles disappeared from the platform. Now, in an especially egregious affront to parents of young children, WBD has removed over 200 classic Sesame Street episodes from HBO Max’s library, without warning. HBO Max became the exclusive home of Sesame Street in 2019; in addition to producing new episodes, the streamer hosts the show’s 50-plus-year library. But as Tough Pigs points out, as of Friday morning, HBO Max’s Sesame Street archive is suddenly barren. Of the 250 episodes from the firs...
