Johnny Marr is gearing up for his fifth solo LP, The Age of Everything. Check out the first single, “Spin,” and its accompanying video, below. The full project arrives October 2 via BMG.“The title came to me early in the process and became an inescapable idea,” Marr said in a statement about Everything’s origins. “It seemed to sum up the way I think a lot of people are feeling. It’s all encompassing, but it’s not necessarily a negative statement. There’s a sense of overwhelm in the culture brought about by technology, but looking at it with a different light, there…

Guns N' Roses bassist Duff McKagan and Circle Jerks frontman Keith Morris marvel at the impact that the punk band DOA had in the Eighties in a clip from the new documentary, Something Better Change. “DOA was bigger than life,” McKagan says, heaping praise on the Canadian group fronted by Joey “Shithead” Keithley. “They were, to me, as big as Led Zeppelin. I owe so much to what I am today to him and to his band.” The film, which tells Keithley's story, is now available on streaming. In the clip, Morris recalls seeing DOA opening for X at the…

Unsurprisingly, the president seems to have been lying through his teeth since the beginning. According to documents obtained by The Washington Post, the White House has known for months that the ballroom would likely cost much more than the $200 million he initially broadcast in July of last year, and that taxpayers would be on the hook for a significant portion of the construction costs. A project summary obtained by the Post shows that in early March, the White House was…

I t’s summer in New York City. Jackhammers pound outside my hotel room at 6 a.m. Rich folks are dropping $10,000 on Knicks tickets. An impatient man at the Pret A Manger bitches at a worker because they are out of Caprese sandwiches.   The city can make you feel small and expendable — much like a Stephen Root character. The remedy is finding laughter amongst the indignities. Fortunately, today we have the actor himself, giggling while watching a clip of himself as a Klingon. We’re sitting at a table at Gabriel’s off Central Park, not far from the pied-à-terre where he…

This past Sunday, Zac Brown delivered one of country music’s most beloved refrains: It’s not political, it’s patriotic. He also performed the national anthem. Brown sang “The Star-Spangled Banner” at the cage fights held on the South Lawn of the White House, standing honorably on an American flag-themed Monster Energy drink logo, beneath the glow of a massive UFC claw in a suit that was lightly giving cartoon detective at Donald Trump’s birthday bash. If you want to memorialize the event, you can purchase the official patriotic t-shirt (imported). “This is patriotism, not politics for me,” Brown told the Pat…

Sheryl Crow excoriated Donald Trump's White House birthday bash, which included a UFC fight, in a post to her Instagram story on Monday. “What happened last night on the lawn of the White House was disgraceful and void of decency,” she wrote. “Powerful, rich people filled the lawn to watch a violent sport that ended with a vile and racist comment. All while the average American cannot afford healthcare, gas, and cost of living.” The artist wrote that keeping silent on this kind of behavior is akin to turning a blind eye to immoral behavior. “Do not be fooled,” she…
