The Pretenders' lead singer Chrissie Hynde posted a letter on her social media accounts blasting people who use their cellphones at concerts. “It's like a weird compulsion that people can't control,” she writes. “It reminds me of monkeys wanking in full view of the people standing around their enclosure … and frankly, in that case, people deserved to be wanked at because monkeys should not be in an enclosure in the first place … However, an artist on a stage?” In the letter, she recounts having dinner with Emmylou Harris before seeing her perform at the Royal Albert Hall in…

A running theory: The youth yearn for breakbeats. The frenetic electronics of Nineties dance music have rumbled beneath the surface of indie rock and pop for some time now. The current wave of new acts — think Fcukers, Underscores, and of course, PinkPantheress — wields the sound with an uncanny magnetism, as if communicating from a post-digital future. Ear, the London and New York-based duo of Jonah Paz and Yaelle Avtan, who met while students at Bard, have become the type of buzzing indie band you used to hear about in the mid-2000s, fitting as the renaissance of aughts-era sounds…

Back in the Nineties, people tended to class the Scottish electronic production duo Boards of Canada alongside their weirdo peers on Warp Records. At the time, few would have dared to dub them “trip-hop,” and maybe they shouldn't have. But BoC's lazy breakbeats, pitch-bent synthesizers and samples, and woozy air did and does point straight in that direction. Even now, though, that phrase might strike the ear as too time-bound — too Nineties, especially for a duo whose best work has proven veritably timeless. But look around: Like skyrocketing gas prices and threats of nuclear war, trip-hop is back, bigly.…
