Before he was swallowed by one in Whalefall, Austin Abrams flew to Dominica to see a sperm whale up close. Posted up on a boat in the turquoise waters off Nature’s Isle, he watched as pods of the slick, gray beasts drifted by the bobbing boat. “This probably sounds silly, but making a whole movie about these kinds of whales, it felt just strange not to have an interaction with one,” Abrams says. “It makes you realize they’re not animals. They have the same essence of a person, basically. It feels like you’re meeting individual beings that are on another…
Rolling Stone‘s interview series Last Man Standing features long-form conversations between senior writer Andy Greene and musicians who are the last remaining members of iconic bands. In some cases, they are the only classic-era member in the current touring lineup. In others, they are the only ones still alive. In either case, the task of keeping the torch lit has fallen onto their shoulders, whether they wanted that responsibility or not. If you turned on the radio at just about any point between 1969 and 1974, it was rare more than a few minutes passed before a Three Dog Night…

Smashing Pumpkins‘ Billy Corgan has hailed Blink-182‘s Travis Barker as the most influential drummer of the last 30 years. Barker was the latest guest on Corgan’s podcast The Magnificent Others on Wednesday (October 14), with the pair discussing their musical backgrounds, drumming techniques and Barker’s recovery from his near-fatal plane crash in 2008. During the conversation, Corgan told his guest: “I think you are probably the most influential drummer of the last 30 years.” “You have influenced more popular drummers in the last thirty years than any drummer I can think of,” he continued. “When we talk about rock/alternative, something…
Genius, accident, estupenda, estúpido—it fundamentally doesn’t matter, because on The Perfect Prescription, one fuels the other. Limited facility made each move substantial, just as one key change in a sustained hum can hit like tectonic plates colliding. Over time, a familiar retelling has presented the record as a hot dose from start to end: kicking off with a mighty rush (“Take Me to the Other Side”), seeing stars (“Ode to Street Hassle”), getting cosy with dependency (“Feel So Good”), and then turning blue. But this is too elegant, too linear. What I hear on The Perfect Prescription is more ragged,…
