Joanna Newsom’s hometown of Nevada City has declared May 27 “Joanna Newsom Day.” On Wednesday, a City Council meeting was held at Nevada City’s City Hall where mayor Adam Kline, a longtime friend and early supporter of Newsom (who also plays in the band Golden Shoulders), made the announcement. He presented her with the honor, commending her contributions to the “cultural vitality” of the city.Following the honor, Newsom gave an entertaining 15-minute acceptance speech, which she admitted she wrote at 2 a.m. (you can watch it at the 9:50 timestamp below). “Thank you so much Mayor Kline. This proclamation truly…
Rimini returns to being Vasco Rossi's headquarters in view of the 2026 Live Tour. In the Romeo Neri stadium the Emilian singer-songwriter is completing rehearsals for the show which will debut with the traditional zero date of May 30th, preceded by the soundcheck reserved for fan club members. Indications are emerging from the test sessions that are already causing fans to discuss. In fact, the setlist seems oriented towards enhancing the repertoire of the 1980s, with several songs rarely performed live and some surprises that could significantly change the structure of the show compared to the latest tours.Among the most…
When the FCC released its annual cache of Super Bowl complaints earlier this month, it was, unsurprisingly, filled largely with reactions to Bad Bunny’s halftime performance. The agency tasked with policing broadcast standards received over 2,000 complaints this year, many of the featuring the outlandish pearl-clutching we’ve come to expect from halftime show grievances. Words like “vulgar,” “disgusting,” and “indecent” popped up hundreds of times in reference to some of the dancers’ moves (fun fact: at least three people spelled “twerking” as “twirking”), as well as Bad Bunny’s lyrics. Many who complained about the latter did have the decency to…
Back in 1981, Gregg Allman delivered a now famous television performance of “Come and Go Blues.” It was just Allman, his guitar, and his uniquely soulful voice that conveyed heartbreak, loss, and a twinge of hope. A new documentary premiering in June, Gregg Allman: The Music of My Soul, celebrates the life and musical impact of Allman, who died nine years ago this week at age 69. Ahead of the doc’s release on June 17, Rolling Stone enlisted Marcus King, Dan Auerbach, and guitarist Tom Bukovac to re-create Allman’s 1981 performance live at Auerbach’s Easy Eye Sound Studios in Nashville.…
In today’s gaming landscape, players have a nearly bottomless buffet of choices for how to spend their time. Free-to-play and seasonal live-service platforms are everywhere, all competing for people’s attention and prolonged engagement by way of perpetual updates and shiny IP collabs to break through the noise. But for the better part of a decade, one game has weathered the ebbs and flows of the industry and evolved to meet players’ expectations, regularly setting the trend for what has and will be popular. That game is PUBG MOBILE — a defining title in modern Battle Royale gameplay, wherein 100 combatants…
At his side are his 15-year-old son Roman and System of a Down frontman Serj Tankian Daniel D`Amico for SANREMO.FM
Sting has said that the decline of jobs where men use their hands and physicality may be behind traits associated with toxic masculinity. The Wallsend-born singer is behind the The Last Ship theatre show, which was inspired by his working class background, and follows the final days of a shipyard as it closes down due to the deindustrialisation of the 1970s and ’80s. The musical debuted in Chicago in 2014 to mixed reviews, and later moved onto Broadway. It is now headed to London’s West End and set to open later this year. In a new interview with The Guardian,…
When I point out to him that in the latest version of XXVerse added the invective “and fuck the fascis”, Tiziano Ferro doesn't try to tone down: «That position has always been there. Now I use a sledgehammer, but there was no need for one slur to understand how I thought. It's just that perhaps age also leads me to be less restrained in my language. It's just a question of language. Before I said “we can't take it anymore”, now I say “fuck off”. He explained it to us a few hours before the start of the tour which…
The flood in the Texas Hill Country over July 4 weekend last summer had a profound effect on the Texas music community. Josh Abbott — a staple of the Lone Star State for 20 years as frontman of the Josh Abbott Band and a member of the supergroup the Panhandlers — was particularly struck by how helpless he felt in the moment. Over time, however, he found the resolve to pay tribute to the 27 campers and counselors who died at Camp Mystic, a girls' summer camp along the Guadalupe River. Abbott did it the best way he knows how:…
Starting on January 23, 1977 from the Westfalenhalle in Dortmund, the “In The Flesh Tour” represented one of the most important and at the same time most problematic moments in Pink Floyd's history. It was in fact the only tour during which the group performed “Animals” in full, but it went down in history above all for the tensions that emerged between Roger Waters, the rest of the band and an increasingly large audience. From those frictions the idea of ”The Wall” was born.After a first European leg that ended at the end of March, the tour resumed on April…
