Pavement Finally Tried Their Album-Themed Pierogi
Pavement finally got to try the album-themed pierogi developed in their honor by an Ohio bakery at their Saturday night tour stop in Detroit. Rudy’s Strudel rolled up with pierogi, stuffed cabbage rolls, and other pastries for the band on September 25. The restaurant unveiled the pierogi at an event in Parma, Ohio last month, teaming up with a local brewery and a record shop, The Current Year. In August, Rudy’s owner Lidia Trempe said she was inspired to develop Pavement-themed pierogi via her own fandom. She said that she skipped her prom in 1995 in order to see the band perform in Cleveland. Bob Nastanovich shared a brief statement about the custom treats in Detroit via Rudy’s: Everybody loved them including [opener] Circuit Des Yeux, who dug in. It was all smiles and band and crew...

The single is called “rien dire,” and it’s set to appear on the upcoming album Redcar les adorables étoiles (out November 11 via Because Music).

And by never I mean not even by death. That’s my current faith I have right now. That song is a conversation I have with someone that’s not there anymore. We can’t be without each other, which can be annoying because I’m a very timid person.” “Rien dire” is French for “say nothing,” and the single is built around pulsing synth pad...

Roger Waters Pens Open Letter to Putin As His Concerts in Poland Are Canceled
Aspirational expert in foreign affairs Roger Waters has written an open letter to Vladimir Putin in light of Russia’s war on Ukraine. But rather than asking the Russian president to withdraw, the former Pink Floyd member has instead asked Putin to promise that he won’t “overrun the whole of Europe.” “Firstly, would you like to see an end to this war?,” Waters wrote to Putin on Facebook. “If you were to reply and say, ‘Yes please.’ That would immediately make things a lot easier. If you were to come out and say, ‘Also the Russian Federation has no further territorial interest beyond the security of the Russian speaking populations of The Crimea, Donetsk and Lubansk.’ That would help too. I say this because, I know some people who think you want to overrun the whole of Europe, starting with ...
Kanye West Understands How the UK Is Feeling: “I Lost My Queen, Too”
Watching Kanye West try to empathize can feel like watching a giraffe limbo, but Ye gave it a shot following the death of Queen Elizabeth II. “London, I know how you feel,” he posted on his Instagram Stories. “I lost my queen, too.” West seems to be referencing his messy 2021 divorce from Kim Kardashian, who went on to have a royal rebound with Pete Davidson. Though since he offered no clarification, it’s also possible he’s mourning the loss 15 years ago of his mother Donda West. Either way, the situations aren’t exactly comparable. Elizabeth II reigned in England for over 70 years and forged the monarchy’s post-colonial path with her emphasis on the Commonwealth of Nations. Whatever he meant, the Queen’s death has had a profound effect on West, at least according to West. H...
The Stone Roses’ Ian Brown Performs Bizarre Sold-Out Show Without a Band: Watch
As if Ian Brown hasn’t already tarnished his reputation by spewing COVID-19 conspiracy theories and putting out an anti-lockdown anthem, the former Stone Roses singer prompted a slew of complaints about his sold-out gig in Leeds last night (September 25th), which he performed without a band. The show marked the beginning of Brown’s first UK headlining tour in a decade, and evidently, he’s having a rough time getting back into the swing of things on the road. As fans reported on social media, the frontman was the only person onstage the entire night, singing his songs over a backing track. “Gutted to see Ian Brown turn up to his £40 a ticket, sold out gig at Leeds tonight WITH NO BAND,” one Twitter user wrote. “I’m a life long fan but it was bad. #ianbrown does karaoke and butchers his...
