Mick Jagger has named some of his favourite Rolling Stones albums and songs – check out his choices below. The frontman was asked about the band’s catalogue during a new interview with Today, ahead of the release of the band’s upcoming album ‘Foreign Tongues’. Asked if he had a favourite Stones album, Jagger replied: “I think ‘Sticky Fingers’ is really good.” “I think ‘Beggars Banquet’ is really good. I think ‘Hackney Diamonds’ is pretty good, too,” he added. Jagger also appeared to joke about some of the band’s leaner records, saying: “There’s some Rolling Stones albums that have eight tracks. I mean, you only have eight tracks, and you were like 30 years…

Article by Umberto Scaramozzino Every time a journalist has to report on a concert, the temptation to use the phrase “collective ritual” is always too strong. And there are many who fall for it, far too many, to the point of having made the very idea of thinking about those two malevolently magnetic words repellent. In the case of Nick Cavehowever, is not a hyperbole, but not even a metaphor. The paradigm is overturned and the term “concert” becomes the lexical alternative, even overtaken by “liturgy”, which is equally abused. But it is undoubtedly like this: there is a difference…
There’s a moment at the start of the annual Clive Davis pre-Grammy gala, typically held on the eve of the big show, when an invited guest realizes, you’re not so special. Sure, your name might be on the guest list for the seated dinner, held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills for the past two decades, but your worth in the music industry is reduced to a little paper stub and a sharpie, marking your table number at the ultra-exclusive gathering. Anything in the double digits, you’re in the golden circle; the 100s means you’re very, very important;…
“I thrive amongst the misfits,” Rachel Wolfson says. It’s a warm May afternoon in Griffith Park, Los Angeles. The coffee shop where we’ve met is at a trailhead, and Wolfson, a comedian, podcaster, and the only female cast member of Jackass, stands out amid the groups of women in Lululemon wrangling kids with iPads and lemonades. She’s in tight black jeans and a leopard-print bra top, sipping black cold brew (“I choose violence,” she deadpanned to the barista taking her order), having expertly navigated kitten heels on an uneven dirt path to get to a picnic table where we can…
Much like their 1990s grunge and alt-rock contemporaries in America, Canada’s Our Lady Peace were writing and recording murky, sorrowful songs about youthful frustration and adult rage, love lost and societal alienation. But there was always an underlying theme of hope throughout the larger message. Thirty-plus years since their debut album, 1994’s Naveed, the band is soldiering on, and celebrating their three-decade longevity. On this particular night, it’s onstage at Plaza Live in Orlando, Florida, where Our Lady Peace are playing a sold-out show some 1,300 miles from their hometown of Toronto. “I don’t think music is defined in years…
The Wow Signalthe UK neo-prog band's latest, is a predictably heavy lift The 10th Muse album takes its name from the Wow! Signal, an unexplained radio transmission detected by a mind-blown astronomer in 1977 that's been held up as a possible example of extraterrestrial communication. The amount of pomp and pump Muse can slam into one song can have a certain wow-factor; tracks like “Uprising” and “Supermassive Black Hole” made them leaders in fist-pumping arena rock. But as is often the case with this ostentatiously bombastic UK band, their music won't blow your mind so much as beat it into…
Alan Jackson went way down yonder on the Chattahoochee for the last time on Saturday night, performing his signature hit near the end point of his goodbye show at Nashville's Nissan Stadium. The event, which also featured George Strait, Luke Bryan, Eric Church, Luke Combs, Miranda Lambert, Jon Pardi, Carrie Underwood, Keith Urban, Riley Green, Cody Johnson, Lee Ann Womack, and more, was filmed for a concert special to air on NBC marking Jackson's permanent retirement from touring. Last year, Jackson announced “One More for the Road – The Finale” after several years of openly discussing his plans to leave…
Inside Alligator Alcatraz — the controversial, recently shuttered immigration detention camp in Everglades — there was a small chain-link cage roughly the size of a coffin in the middle of the rec yard, underneath the baking Florida sun. The guards called it “the box.” Detainees would be placed inside at any time of day, fed their meals through the bars — turkey sandwiches, a granola bar, and little else. The mosquitoes would eat them alive. “If you're out there in the box, then you're fucked,” one guard said. The guard's quote, and the anecdotes and details in the paragraph above,…
Ten years are just a habit for Klimt 1918. Since 2016, when “Sentimentale Jugend” closed an eight-year chapter from the previous “Just In Case We'll Never Meet Again”, silence has become a second skin for them. Not the silence of abandonment, but that of sedimentation: like photographs left to settle in the attic, like summer skies observed for too long from a foggy window. “Àmor” therefore arrives not as a festive return, but as a slow, almost inevitable resurfacing. The title is a game of mirrors: read backwards, it reveals Rome, the city where the band has always lived and…
