The whirring engine beneath Julia Jacklin’s warm, rangy rock songs has often been anxiety. Her characters are usually found muttering in corners, working themselves up to something big or tearing themselves apart over something small. “I don’t know how to keep loving you, now that I know you so well,” she sang over and over again on her 2019 breakout Crushing, alternating emphases—“I don’t know how to keep loving you,” “I don’t know how to keep loving you”—until the weight became asphyxiating. On her 2022 album Pre Pleasure, she admitted “I’ve been trying to be turned on by you/Be turned…
Taylor Swift will always have one of the greatest songwriting catalogs of all time. Nobody can take that away from her. But I listen to the first verse on “Patient Zero,” part of a four-song repack of last year’s The Life of a Showgirl called The Encore, and think, earnestly, openly: What the fuck? It is hard to draw a line between this dog’s breakfast of a song, about commiserating with the ex of an ex about his toxic patterns of behavior, and a track like, say, “Dear John,” which was released 16 years earlier and is about 16 times…
Carl Barât joined The Molotovs on stage in London to perform The Libertines‘ ‘What A Waster’ over the weekend. Watch the footage below. The live collaboration took place at the end of the sibling punk duo’s sold-out show at the O2 Forum Kentish Town on Saturday night (September 26). It came five years after the band supported The Libertines at the same venue in 2021. Barât assisted Issey (bass/vocals) and Mathew Cartlidge (guitar/vocals) on a rendition of Pete Doherty and co’s 2002 debut single, which appeared on The Libs’ first album ‘Up The Bracket’. The cover closed The Molotovs’ 21-song…

The MTV Video Music Awards aren’t what they used to be, but that isn’t to say they’re not entertaining. After all, what other stage hosts an epic Madonna opener complete with weed-toking Seth Rogen? Or gives George Michael his flowers in the form of a faithful tribute by the likes of Sombr, Raye, Teddy Swims, and Adam Lambert, among others? Or has the cultural currency to tractor beam Taylor Swift onto the red carpet? It drew its best audience numbers since 2015, with 8.43 million viewers tuning in on CBS and MTV, according to fast national live-plus-same-day Nielsen figures, per…
