Tegan and Sara Sign to Mom + Pop, Share Video for New Song: Watch
Of their new label home, the sisters added: Michael Goldstone signed us to Sire/Warner in 2006. We had just made The Con and felt like the vision Goldie and the team at Sire had for us and the album were a good fit. But soon after he signed us, he left to start Mom + Pop. We never held it against him. But joked that one day we’d work together for real. So it was with great enthusiasm that we agreed to sign to Mom + Pop when our deal with Warner ended in 2021. We look forward to being back at an indie label, on a brilliant roster, with Goldie and the label’s incredible team helping us start this next chapter in our lives with the release of our 10th album. Tegan and Sara’s 2019 memoir High School, was recently adapted into a TV series by Clea DuVall, who wrote and directed the coming-of-age...

Howard Stern Thinks Phish’s Madison Square Garden Run Was a Superspreader Event
Last week, Phish played their postponed Madison Square Garden residency after pushing it back due to the omicron variant. Over the past several days, some concertgoers have attributed positive COVID tests to their attendance at the event. One of those fans is Howard Stern Show executive producer Jason Kaplan, which led to the host inviting attendees of the shows to call in with their experiences (via Variety) at the potential superspreader event. Kaplan was asked to take a home COVID test after Stern noticed his scratchy throat, and recounted his experience at the Phish shows. “I got no one to blame but myself,” Kaplan said on-air while also admitting he attended a hotel afterparty where there was heavy nitrous use. “It’s out there, it’s still happening… Nothing is worth get...
Tobey Maguire to Star as Charlie Chaplin in Damien Chazelle’s Babylon
Attendees of CinemaCon in Las Vegas this week were treated with an exclusive first look at Babylon, Damien Chazelle’s forthcoming period drama about the golden age of Hollywood. After it was announced almost a year ago that Tobey Maguire was cast in the film, his role has finally been revealed as silent film pioneer Charlie Chaplin. Set in the late 1920s, Babylon is a Great Gatsby-meets-Once Upon a Time in Hollywood tale of the movie biz’s transition from silent films to talkies. Alongside Maguire — who’s also executive producing — Chazelle’s feature-length follow-up to First Man also stars Brad Pitt as silent film actor John Gilbert, as well as Margot Robbie as the original “It Girl” Clara Bow. Judging by the trailer shown at CinemaCon, Babylon very well might be your ...
Killer Mike and Ruth Talk Desperation and Hip-Hop in Clip from Ozark: Watch
Killer Mike guest stars in the upcoming final season of Ozark, and Netflix has shared a clip that finds him discussing more than hip-hop with the character Ruth (Julia Garner). Netflix described Mike as an “Ozark superfan,” and it’s unclear if Mike is playing himself or another famous rapper. But in the preview, Ruth approaches his table and tells him, “I just wanted to say, I really love your shit.” He inquires about the music pouring out of her earbuds — “N.Y. State of Mind” by Nas — and it quickly turns into one of those conversations where the thing they’re talking about isn’t the thing they’re talking about. “It always feels to me like he hates it and misses it all at once,” Ruth says. “You know, when I listen to that record,” Mike explains, “His projects are in Queens and y...
