Johnny Marr Shares New Singles “Sensory Street” and “Tenement Time”: Stream
Johnny Marr has released “Sensory Street” and “Tenement Time,” a pair of new singles off his upcoming EP Fever Dreams Pt 2, due out December 17th. The synth-driven “Sensory Street” follows in the footsteps of August’s “Spirit, Power and Soul” and is described by Marr via a press statement as “the story of a surreal 48 hours in subterranean England.” Meanwhile, “Tenement Time” is a rollicking tune inspired by Marr’s own childhood memories. “That’s the experience of growing up in the inner city as a little kid, running around being quite wild,” explained Marr. “This idea of ‘Forever, forever is mine’ — it’s about running around Ardwick, bunking into warehouses and getting chased. That was the first time I was self-consciously into culture: Around people who wore certain clothes, and it ...
Van Morrison Sued by Northern Ireland Health Minister Over COVID-19 Criticism
Northern Ireland Health Minister Robin Swann is suing Northern Irish songwriter Van Morrison for defamation over his “bizarre and irresponsible” COVID-19 criticisms, the Associated Press reports. Morrison has been ruining his legacy chafing at pandemic restrictions ever since they began, referring to socially-distanced concerts as “pseudo-science” and even releasing an anti-lockdown song series. He publicly criticized Swann on at least three occasions, calling him “a fraud” and “very dangerous.” Swann first fought back in an op-ed in Rolling Stone, writing that Morrison’s “words will give great comfort to the conspiracy theorists – the tin foil hat brigade who crusade against masks and vaccines.” Advertisement Related Video Now, he’s bringing the bat...

David Ellefson: Megadeth “Kicked” Me to the “Side of the Road”
David Ellefson has continued to open more about his removal from Megadeth. In a new interview with “The Jeremy White Podcast,” the ousted bassist expressed some resent toward the Megadeth camp for the lack of empathy and support they provided in the aftermath of Ellefson’s compromising online sexual encounter. After explaining that he felt it best to address the scandal head-on, Ellefson explained that Megadeth took a different approach, instead issuing a statement that further incited backlash against the bassist. Particularly the statement’s wording: “There are clearly aspects of David’s private life that he has kept to himself.” Advertisement Related Video Ellefson said that the reactionary statement was “based on fear” on the part of Megadeth. “It wasn’t based on reality,” he continued...
Camp Cope Return with New Song “Blue”: Stream
Camp Cope have returned with their first new song in three years, “Blue.” The Aussie rockers’ last studio effort was 2018’s How to Socialize and Make Friends, and the intervening years have included a solo album from vocalist Georgia Maq, Pleaser, as well as loosies such as the pop tune “Someone Stranger.” Camp Cope reunited in the studio during the pandemic, and their latest release flexes some of the freedom that Maq found in pop. The guitars on “Blue” are sunny and bright, even as the lyrics scan clouds on the horizon. “Phone in my hand, still checking if you called,” Maq sings. “I’m double texting. No, I’ve never been cool/ And I’ll burn that bridge when I get to it. Yeah, I’m on fire.” Speaking of fire, Maq’s voice still sizzles like no one else in DIY. Advertiseme...

We would open up a Pro Tools session and tracks wo...

Dionne Warwick Stopped by The Dionne Warwick Talk Show on SNL: Watch
Saturday Night Live welcomed a very special guest to The Dionne Warwick Talk Show last night: Dionne Warwick herself!

Ed Sheeran, who served as the episode’s musical guest, also stopped by the show to answer some of Warwick’s most pressing questions. “Now, you did a song called ‘South of the Border.’ My question is: are you nasty?” Nwodim-as-Warwick asked, to which the singer cheekily replied, “Yeah, a little bit” with a knowing wiggle of his eyebrows.

Containing singles “Till It Hurts” and “If He’s in Your Bed,” the 12-track collection confirms the 25-year-old’s role as one of the most promising new voices in pop. JORDY’s lyrics are filled with disarming observations on everything from finding faraway connection on dating apps (breakout TikTok hit “Long Distance”) and overcoming body dysmorphia amid the vanity of the L.A. gay scene (the powerful “Dressed Up in a T-Shirt”) to the desire to sometimes leave it all behind for a different kind of life (lovely, guitar-strewn closer “South Dakota”).
