Peter Gabriel confronts the inevitability of death on his new song “Face the Wall,” the latest track off the singer’s upcoming studio LP o\i. Like all previous songs from o/i — and its predecessor, Gabriel’s 2023 album i/o — the track was recorded with both a “Bright-Side Mix” and “Dark-Side Mix”; fittingly, for a song about dying, Gabriel has provided the “Dark-Side Mix” of the Tchad Blake-produced “Face the Wall”: “The lyric is partly about getting older, facing illness, and it’s looking death in the face, which I think we don’t do enough of. I know I’ve talked about this…
Dave Mustaine physically showed fans the reason why Megadeth are calling it quits during a book launch event for his recently released memoir, In My Darkest Hour, in New York earlier this month. When the moderator, Rolling Stone Senior Writer Kory Grow, asked him if his fans should believe him when he says his band was calling it quits, Mustaine held up his left hand for the audience to see. “I have an injury to my hand,” he showed the 200-or-so people at New York’s Kaufman Music Center. “Some of you can see it. I’ve got what’s called Dupuytren’s contracture.…
For most of Lawrence Rothman’s career, the singer-songwriter and producer has eschewed any notion of a genre. But the longer they have spent in Americana spaces, whether on their own projects or producing for the likes of Amanda Shires or Maggie Rose, the more Rothman comes around. “Americana, to me, in 2026, is everything that’s associated with great American music, all rolled into one ball,” Rothman says. “It’s soul, R&B, singer-songwriter, folk, country, rock. You even got a little bit of punk rock. For me, it’s the place to identify with the way that I create.” Rothman’s creative impulses turned…

“‘Choosin’ Texas’? Never heard of it.” That sentiment became a common refrain as Ella Langley’s hit country song topped the Billboard Hot 100 all summer and eventually passed Mariah Carey to set the record for the longest-running Number One in that chart’s history. Even Doja Cat claimed to be in the dark. “I don’t know what that is,” she said when asked about Langley. Despite what feels like ubiquity to some, others continue to insist that they’ve never heard “Choosin’ Texas” at all. And, if they’re on social media, they’re sure as hell letting you know it. There are, as…

1You played crewman Mitchell in a 2000 episode of Star Trek: Voyager. Which area of the ship do you give Captain Janeway instructions to? “I tell her: ‘To the left, ma’am.’’ CORRECT-ISH. She asks for directions to Junction Room 16 – but you do indeed respond, ‘to the left, ma’am’. “‘To the left, ma’am’ could have also been the name of my new album! [Laughs] I was also in Star Trek: Insurrection, two years earlier, as a So’na alien. I had to be there at 4am every morning for five hours of make-up. The other So’na actors were bummed-out because…

Sta per cominciare una nuova era della storia dei Pearl Jam. Domani, 27 settembre, la band salirà sul palco dell’Ohana Festival di Dana Point, California dove presenterà finalmente il suo nuovo batterista. Il posto è rimasto vacante dopo la separazione amichevole da Matt Cameron annunciata a luglio 2025.
