Foo Fighters Tease “Insane Prog-Rock Record”
Foo Fighters will try anything once. Fresh off a disco dalliance as the Dee Gees and their 10th album of power pop-inflected rock, Medicine at Midnight, Dave Grohl has teased a turn towards the jazz, folk, and psychedelic-inspired vistas of prog. “Every album that we’ve made is a response to the one we made before,” Grohl said in a new interview with Rolling Stone. “So now there are whispers of making an insane prog-rock record.” Granted, Grohl hasn’t started writing it yet. But he has more money than one man can spend and he thinks it would be fun.

My Morning Jacket Return Rock to Forest Hills Stadium: Concert Review
In August of 2019, My Morning Jacket performed at Queen’s Forest Hills Stadium, part of a special four-show stretch after a nearly two-year hiatus. The gigs were also billed as their last for a potentially longer period (and that was even without the unexpected virus that shelved all live music for over a year). Thankfully, the threat of another break — or full-on retirement — was staved off by the shows themselves, inspiring the band to get back in the studio and continue on. Two years and one month later, MMJ returned to Forest Hills on Friday, September 10th for the first concert of a two-night stint. A new self-titled record — their first freshly recorded material in six years — is on the horizon; pandemic lockdowns are in the rearview (for now); and the Jacket’s brand of jammy, psyche...
