There's a Pink Floyd song that David Gilmour called practically “impossible” to sing. Not for the vocal range or for some particularly difficult melodic passage, but for a much more concrete reason: Roger Waters had written so many words that Gilmour simply couldn't manage them. That song was “Dogs,” the monumental 17-minute song that takes up much of “Animals,” an album released by Pink Floyd in 1977. You've Got To Be Crazy Written and composed by Waters and Gilmour, “Dogs” is one of the longest pieces in the band's repertoire and also one of the most representative of the phase…

Katy Perry lashes out at the White House after discovering that “Firework”, one of her most famous hits, was used as the soundtrack to a video published on TikTok and dedicated to some US military operations. The pop star gave X a tough stance, explaining that she had not been consulted and that she considered the juxtaposition of the song to images of bombings to be completely contrary to the original meaning of the song. “I am deeply shocked and angry to see 'Firework' used on the White House TikTok account as the soundtrack to footage of military strikes.

Green Day have surprised fans at San Diego Comic-Con by playing ‘Basket Case’ on top of an ice cream truck – check out footage below. The band appeared at Gallagher Square outside Petco Park on Friday (July 24) to promote their upcoming coming-of-age film Nimrods.

Black Tape For A Blue Girl è lo strumento con cui Sam Rosenthal ha praticamente reinventato la musica gotica. Un progetto aperto in cui il tastierista e songwriter (e orgoglioso “non musicista”, secondo l’espressione coniata da Brian Eno) si è circondato di talenti in gran parte provenienti dalla pregiata scuderia della Projekt Records, l’etichetta discografica da lui stesso fondata nel lontano 1983 e diventata il centro della odierna scena “gothic” americana. “Tracce di una purezza più profonda”, il titolo del loro capolavoro, rende appieno il senso della loro musica celestiale, in cui tutte le possibili implicazioni terrene del nostro vagabondare…

Darlene Love has been creating music since Dwight Eisenhower was in the White House, and her long catalog of hits, including “He’s a Rebel,” “Today I Met the Boy I’m Gonna Marry,” and the Christmas classic “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home),” has kept her busy on the road decade after decade. But Love turns 85 on Sunday, and she’s thinking it might be time to re-imagine her approach to live shows. “I would love to do a residency,” Love tells Rolling Stone, saying she can imagine a stripped-down setup with just her, a pianist, and a couple of background singers.…

Mike Mills had a pretty typical childhood for a creative, misfit-type kid growing up in Southern California in the 1970s and ’80s: skateboarding, punk rock, art school. By the mid-1990s, he was a graphic artist with a penchant for groovy hipster minimalism, designing posters and album covers for the Beastie Boys, Sonic Youth, and Cibo Matto. By the late 1990s, Mills was making music videos and showcasing his short films at Sundance. His 2005 debut feature, an adaptation of Walter Kirn’s coming-of-age novel Thumbsucker, suggested the first step towards a sort of Indie Cinema 101 career: a little quirky, a…
