The fight between country music artist Charlie Crockett and guitar legend Jack White is the feud that keeps on giving. Crocket fired a shot at White, after White fired off one of his own missives earlier today, Aug. 19. If you’re just entering the chat, it might seem that Crockett and White are currently arguing over who’s been the most politically vocal through their career, but the tiff started when Crockett released “Satanic doo-wop” duo Twin Temple as his opening act for the Age of the Ram tour. The duo, husband and wife team Alexandra James and Zachary James, claimed they…

Joe Rogan has discovered Turnstile, while claiming that US rap has “fallen off the charts” because of the defunding of international aid. The conversations took place on a recent ‘Protect Our Parks’ edition of The Joe Rogan Experience, which Rogan hosted alongside the comedians Shane Gillis, Mark Normand and Ari Shaffir. While discussing PSY, Gillis noticed Shaffir – who was sporting a Last Dinner Party T-shirt – attempting to bring Turnstile into the conversation, and declared that he was a fan of their “old stuff”, especially ‘Generator’ from the 2018 album ‘Time & Space‘. “Well, what is Turnstile at all?” Rogan asked. “Explain to me, please.” Normand explained that they are a “young hardcore band”,…
Rush’s Alex Lifeson spent decades as one of rock’s most brilliantly productive stoners. He always played concerts sober, but half-joked to me in 2015 that he wrote “80 percent” of his oft-labyrinthine parts for Rush’s music with THC assistance. But this year, with a high-pressure reunion tour looming, he finally quit weed, as he revealed in our recent cover story interview, published in collaboration with Rolling Stone Canada. “I started having these negative feelings about my confidence and about what was ahead of us. We were halfway through the process. It’s too late to jump off this ship that’s screaming…

RIP to an OG legend of the music business: Columbia House, the mail-order record club that famously promised fans a dozen LPs, CDs, cassettes, or 8-track tapes for a penny. But it’s finally shutting down. “After 9/15/26, The Columbia House will no longer be accepting new orders,” says a tragic message on its website. “You can still purchase books with your credit card or credits as normal.” Columbia House became a long-running part of fan culture, thanks to its ubiquitous ads, in print and on TV. It began in 1955 as the Columbia Record Club, but it really exploded in…
A Los Angeles judge has granted Ariana Grande the fast-track subpoena power she says is crucial to identifying hackers who allegedly stole her unreleased music, photos and videos, then sold the material on the “dark web” for “significant sums of money.” Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Mark H. Epstein ruled Wednesday that because Grande currently has no way to identify the alleged hackers, she doesn’t have to comply with a waiting period tied to providing notice to the defendants in her recently filed invasion of privacy lawsuit. “The 20-day waiting period will never run because plaintiff cannot — even…
