Smashing Pumpkins Debut ‘CYR’ on Late Night
Smashing Pumpkins’ double album CYR was released last Friday. Billy Corgan has been making the interview rounds, but last night on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, the band played the title track for the first time in a “live” setting. By live, we mean a socially-distanced performance where Corgan, James Iha, Jimmy Chamberlain and Jeff Schroeder join forces through the magic of some pre-recorded method. You can watch that below. [embedded content] In addition to the release of CYR, the Pumpkins have some big plans upcoming. In October, the band’s seminal Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness turned 25. In conjunction with that, Corgan and company dropped some pretty big news that they’ve got a 33-song sequel to the album and MACHINA in the works. ...
The Hold Steady Announce New Album Open Door Policy, Share “Family Farm”: Stream
The Hold Steady have announced their eighth studio album, Open Door Policy. The follow-up to last year’s Thrashing Thru the Passion is due out on February 19th via the group’s own Positive Jams label and Thirty Tigers. The new full-length was almost entirely written and recorded prior to the pandemic. However, “the songs and stories explore power, wealth, mental health, technology, capitalism, consumerism, and survival – issues which have compounded in 2020,” according to frontman Craig Finn. Recording took place at The Clubhouse in Rhinebeck, New York with assistance from producer Josh Kaufman and engineer D. James Goodwin. The album is The Hold Steady’s second to feature their current six-piece lineup, which has been described by Finn as the band’s “best” iteration. Editors’ P...

Paul Scheer on Psilocybin-Fueled Weezer Walks, DJ-Sparring With His Wife
One can never accuse Paul Scheer of laziness. Hell, just in this publication window, he has his guest-directed episode of Marvel 616 out, a new live-streamed Christmas episode of his award-winning podcast How Did This Get Made on Dec. 11 and a role in the indie superhero flick Archenemy, out the same day. Starting in improv at comedy breeding ground Upright Citizens Brigade, Scheer got his first break in 2007, creating the brilliantly bizarre, MTV sketch show Human Giant with Aziz Ansari and Rob Huebel. From there, along with a ton of roles on more cult shows like Party Down and The Life & Times of Tim, Paul created Adult Swim’s NTSF: SD: SUV in 2011. Spoofing MacGyver-styled ‘80s machismo and the glut of Law and Order spin-offs, the show gave Scheer his first confident spot in t...
