A couple of years ago, the three members of mary in the junkyard flew to New York City from London with no plan other than to play for whoever would have them. It’s not hard to imagine them busking in the subway tunnels, their semi-acoustic music rich with the earnest anguish of Big Thief and the grandeur of early Arcade Fire, the lyrics delivered in a feathery register by singer Clari Freeman-Taylor. When they asked the crowd at the Bowery Ballroom if anyone had a place where they could stay, a film producer named Todd Eckert offered up the flat…
Like an author of fantasy fiction, Wolfgang Voigt is continually rewriting and restructuring the internal logic of his own world, going back to his old work in the hopes of imposing some order upon his sprawling mythopoeia. His self-titled debut as GAS was one of several breakthroughs the German producer experienced in 1996, but its vast, emotionally neutral expanses of nothing had little to do with the sampledelia of his later work under the name; when he rereleased it on 2008’s Nah Und Fern compilation, he swapped two tracks out entirely for new work that felt more apiece with the…

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has issued an apology for making “inappropriate” comments about Kylie Minogue in a recent podcast appearance. The comments about the pop star were made when the PM made an appearance on the Bush Deep podcast, hosted by comedian Nikki Osborne. The host is best recognised for her crude comedy skits on YouTube, and launched the podcast earlier this year, describing herself as a “wildly inappropriate journalist” who is willing to ask guests “questions no one else would dare”. During the 20-minute interview, Osbourne asked Albanese who he would “shag, marry or date” out of Kylie…
Paul McCartney just gave Taylor Swift the ultimate wedding gift. He sang one of the Beatles’ most beloved tunes, for the first time since 1964, the classic hit “I Want To Hold Your Hand.” According to reports in People, he serenaded Travis Kelce and Taylor with this love song at their wedding on July 3, at Madison Square Garden. Busting out the Beatles’ first U.S. Number One for the first time in 62 years? What a mind. The Beatles stopped playing “I Want To Hold Your Hand” live in their early days, and for some reason, Paul has never revived…
