The Killers frontman does a solid job channeling his Nashville heroes on Thrasher, but the mystery train doesn’t always stay on track Ever since Bob Dylan cut Nashville Skyline in 1969, rockers have been going to Music City to refresh their sounds, kick it with the world’s best session pros, and drink deep the rejuvenating well of local realness. For his third solo album, Killers frontman Brandon Flowers has gone all-in with a full-fledged country record. He says the music harkens back to his Utah youth listening to Waylon Jennings and Johnny Cash (music his dad called “country Western”), and he’s…
The country singer’s, ahem, Drought Drops promise to “keep the dry spells away and the good times coming” If you’ve watched the steamy video for Kacey Musgraves’ “Mexico Honey,” it seems as though the country star’s “Dry Spell” may well be over. Now, the Texas-born singer wants to pass on the good will. Musgraves, in partnership with woman’s wellness brand Medicine Mama, just launched her own signature lube titled, appropriately, Drought Drops. Packaged in an eggplant-colored bottle, in tribute to her favorite, uh, vegetable, the product promises to “keep the dry spells away and the good times coming.” Apparently there’s…

Former To Catch a Predator host Chris Hansen is bickering with the producers of Primetime, the Robert Pattinson-starring film about the NBC series, over an alleged NDA he refused to sign in order to preview the movie. Hansen appeared on Fox News on Thursday to discuss the incident, claiming he went to the A24 offices in New York to watch Primetime ahead of the film’s Venice Film Festival premiere next month. However, prior to viewing, Hansen was presented with a non-disclosure agreement that his legal team — upon previewing the NDA — advised him not to sign. “The lawyers at…
Earlier this summer, New Translations were among the scene-stealers at a rock & roll takeover during CMA Fest in Nashville. The Music City indie-rock band, led by the charismatic frontperson Oliver Pierce, brought their synth sounds and kinetic stage show to Jon Bon Jovi’s honky-tonk downtown for a daylong bill headlined by Cage the Elephant. It was as weird, and invigorating, as it sounds. On Friday, New Translations debuted one of the new songs they’ve been working on with producer Yves Rothman (Blondshell): “Modern Lovers” is a blast of hypnotic synth-pop that finds Pierce craving a time when life seemed…

Don’t let the Druski skits fool you: Belly Gang Kushington can rap. Part Jeezy, part Bankroll Fresh, he’s such a dogged trap revivalist that if you told me 15 years ago he was cryogenically frozen like in Universal Soldier, I’d believe you. The drug dealing imagery isn’t nearly as vivid or tense as his forefathers, but like them, he has an uncanny ability to capture a slice of Atlanta life from his point of view: girls doing hair in the kitchen, downing a plate of wings at Lucky Panda, Magic City nights. “From the city where everybody rich and no…
