“expectations,” the late-breaking single-girl anthem from Olivia Rodrigo’s third album, you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love, is pretty much perfect as is, to the point that between two and six Bradshaw types in my life adopted it as a kind of mantra over the summer in hopes of warding off all the tricksters and dark spirits that lurk on Hinge and Feeld. If there’s a song that didn’t at all need a remix—which arrived to us with 100% potency—it’s “Expectations.”So there’s something utilitarian, almost, about the track’s new redux featuring Rodrigo’s friend, former tourmate, and one-time…
They Are Gutting a Body of Water: Kool Faith / Loosies II [ATO/Julia’s War]They Are Gutting a Body of Water’s Doug Dulgarian still has fond memories of the jewel-cased mixtapes he’d pick up on the cheap as a kid, and the expansive yet hyper-regional feel of a genre-spanning track list spliced together by a local radio DJ.

Handy), RXKNephew, and more. “The word…
A$AP Rocky, seen lately on flame-lit arena stages holding a megaphone as a mic, is speaking a little more quietly than usual. “I was going dummy,” A$AP Rocky says with a strained voice, crediting his vocal ailment to hyping up a crowd in Athens on his final Don’t Be Dumb tour stop in Europe a couple days earlier. The Harlem rapper chose 2026, after a few teases and false starts, to end an eight-year gap in his discography. He released the chart-topping Don’t Be Dumb in January, and ever since, it felt like Pretty Flacko was everywhere all at once:…
The names fly at you fast and furious: Eubie Blake, Richard Bruce Nugent, Gerri Major, Leigh Whipper, Regina Andrews, Romare Bearden, Aaron Douglas, James Van Der Zee. They are poets and pianists, painters and photographers, journalists and salon hosts, mover and shakers, all of them sipping cocktails and chatting about days past. It’s 1972. Having borrowed Duke Ellington’s uptown apartment, filmmaker William Greaves (Symbiopsychotaxiplasm: Take One) invited the remaining luminaries of the artistic movement known as the Harlem Renaissance for a reunion of sorts. Some are old friends. Some have not seen each other for decades. All of them made…
Leading up to the Grammy nominations on Nov. 16, Rolling Stone is breaking down 11 different categories. For each, we’re predicting the nominees, as well as who will (and who should) win on Grammy night. There’s probably no time in recent history when a country song has been such a dominant part of the cultural conversation, thanks to Ella Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas.” It’s a track that has broken records and spurred a million conversations (and arguments, too). But will it dominate the 2027 Grammy Awards? Smart bets say yes, but that doesn’t mean that there aren’t plenty of other songs…

Josh Brolin is currently in the process of making a documentary about his teenage punk band Cito Vice Squad, who went on to become hardcore group Rich Kids On LSD – check out the full interview above. Speaking to NME about growing up in the Los Angeles punk scene, Brolin said that he used to climb out of his bedroom window at night and drive down to legendary venue Godzilla’s, which he compares to iconic New York gig spot CBGB. “We’d watch amazing bands like Beer Guts, Circle Jerks and Black Flag,” he said, with Dead Kennedys and Wasted Youth…
