Katy Perry headlined Rock In Rio Lisbon last night (July 20), where she played her new song ‘Watch It Burn’ and also admitted that she “lost her roar” amid a torrid 2025. Wearing the same outfit that she sported during her Hello Katy Tour when she played Lisbon back in 2009, she told the crowd: “Little did I know when I was wearing this outfit [all those] years ago in Lisbon that I would write a song called ‘Roar’, and I’d sing it all around the world for millions of people and at some point, I would lose my own…

In Ashley Monroe’s writing room on the West Side of Nashville, you can find all sorts of relics of a career well-lived. There are acoustic guitars played with Vince Gill, framed hymns she grew up singing back in Knoxville, and a trio of posters on the wall from a Pistol Annies tour, her band with Angaleena Presley and Miranda Lambert. On a shelf in the corner, there are drawings by good friends Allison Moorer and Shelby Lynne, and, by the window, there’s a black-and-white print of a woman holding a sign that says “not your bitch.” What you won’t find,…

I t ought to be a pretty optimistic time for Democrats. Donald Trump’s in a deep hole, and his only answer is to ask for more shovels. The House seems likely to tip back toward Democrats, redistricting shenanigans notwithstanding, and strong Senate candidates in a bunch of reliably red states — Ohio, Texas, North Carolina, Alaska — have put the Senate firmly in play as well. Arguments over wokeness and wealth taxes have been tabled in favor of hammering Trump over gas prices and rampant corruption. And yet there remains a palpable fear among Democrats, both inside Washington and out,…

Ambient drone is the format par excellence for long and meditative sound excursions: songs that exceed ten minutes, sometimes reaching half an hour if not more, and develop without recognizable melodies or a rhythmic structure; rather, a mass of sound that branches out, slowly and enveloping: the harmony remains almost immobile, with the variations that sway like slow fluctuations, repeated in a virtually infinite coming and going.
