The first thing you hear on Vanessa Rossetto’s The Professional is something you’ve probably never heard before: a Tin Pan Alley–style ditty about making experimental music. The lyrics, written by Michael Garin, are replete with references to “teacups in Riga” and “recording cabbage in a baggage carousel.” Sung by Mardie Millet with the vaudevillian verve of Ethel Merman bellowing an ode to the glittering lights of Broadway, it’s a wryly humorous take on the often humorless world of experimental music—and on the complicated position of being a musician whose work is unrecognizable to most people as music.Vanessa Rossetto has built…
For 30 years now, Of Montreal has functioned less as a band and more as a vehicle for exploring Kevin Barnes’ emotional whims. Between shifting lineups, a problematic alter ego, and plenty of glam makeup, they have tried out stripped-down twee, the funk heights of Prince, festival-ready synth-pop, and EDM sirens. Barnes chronicled the impasses in their first marriage across multiple albums: 2007’s high-water-mark Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer? took a kaleidoscopic approach to an early separation, while 2015’s somber Aureate Gloom arrived after the couple’s permanent split. No matter what style Barnes is toying with, their antenna perks…
Il prossimo tour solista di Roger Daltrey prevede più date di quelle che gli Who hanno fatto negli Stati Uniti nel giro di concerti d’addio. È difficile che il cantante, che ha 82 anni, decida di farne altre, ma se non altro, come spiega al telefono, andare in tour da solista è più semplice che farlo con gli Who. La parola che usa per descrivere le tournée della band è «massacranti», ma dal modo in cui lo dice si capisce che vorrebbe continuare a esibirsi in un modo o nell’altro. «Sulle spalle degli Who pesa un’eredità enorme. È un lavoro…

In an interview early last year, rising Atlanta rapper Tezzus made a prediction about the music industry that sounds more perceptive as time goes on. “It’s gon’ be no such thing as ‘mainstream’ [or ‘underground’], especially with the internet,” he told Overlooked. “It’s just music. All the platforms gon’ clash.” This idea’s been stewing in my brain ever since. No one has to compete for airplay or video placements or even Billboard slots anymore to get exposure; the online algorithm is both a free-for-all and the end-all-be-all. That reality is what makes regionality in music so compelling nowadays. There are…

New York was having a little too much fun celebrating the Knicks' first NBA Finals appearance since 1999 — so Donald Trump had to crash the party. The president threw Midtown Manhattan and Madison Square Garden into logistical chaos on Monday after announcing last week that he would be attending Game 3 of the Finals in person. During the singing of the National Anthem, Trump was loudly booed out by the fans in attendance. Following the announcement of Trump's attendance, fans were told they would need to show up at least two hours early to undergo TSA-style security screenings. No…
Los Angeles City Council member Nithya Raman has knocked former reality TV star Spencer Pratt out of the running, securing second place in the Los Angeles mayoral primary race. The Associated Press called the race on Monday, announcing that Raman will advance to a November runoff against Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, where the two former political allies will face off in the general election.
