Tom Morello started the year with a protest concert in Minneapolis, and by March, he was onstage with Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band for an anti-Trump tour. In October, he threw his own all-star pre-midterms festival, Power to the People, right after releasing his heaviest album in years, Everyone Gets Everything They Want. If he seems unusually fired up lately at age 62, well, “What’s not to be fired up about?” he asks. Everyone Gets Everything They Want branches out to his singer-songwriter side, and even finds him rapping on one track, “Soldier in the Army of Love.”…

Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez made a surprise appearance to introduce The Strokes at their huge hometown show in New York City last night (October 2). The New York indie icons were playing a one-off show at Flushing Meadows Corona Park in Queens, with Beach House, TV On The Radio and Fcukers also on the bill. Before The Strokes took to the stage, Ocasio-Cortez appeared in front of the crowd and declared that “the greatest city in the world is now welcoming the greatest rock band of our generation”, before bringing out Sanders. The Vermont senator then praised the band…
Roxy Music have shared a previously unreleased early demo of ‘Pyjamarama’, taken from their forthcoming expanded reissue of ‘For Your Pleasure’. Titled ‘Pyjamarama – guitar & vocal’, the stripped-back recording is the earliest known version of the 1973 single and has remained unheard for more than 50 years. Featuring only Bryan Ferry’s voice and acoustic guitar, it also documents the first time the Roxy Music frontman had written a song using the instrument. The demo was recorded while Ferry was staying alone at a remote cottage in the Derbyshire Dales, where he retreated amid the band’s hectic touring schedule to…
Zach Bryan wore a “Free Palestine” T-shirt during a show at Gillette Stadium, weeks after Macklemore was dropped from Ed Sheeran’s US tour for pro-Palestine statements. Bryan played the first of two dates at the Foxborough, Massachusetts venue last night (October 2) as part of his ongoing ‘With Heaven On Tour’ trek, and as he took to the stage, he and his band were wearing black shirts bearing the message. The choice attracted particular attention because Gillette Stadium is owned by the Kraft Group, led by New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft, who was recently at the centre of the controversy…
Dialogo a due su ‘E Morte non avrà dominio’, un inno contro la mansuetudine: Dylan Thomas, la lotta di classe perduta, la musica turistificata, le Big Tech più ricche dei faraoni, il governo dei peggioriTeatro Due di Parma, 11 del mattino. Le prove la sera prima sono finite tardi, quindi arrivano con calma. Li aspetto girando per un edificio labirintico, dove ogni scala riporta al punto di partenza. Quando appaiono, ognuno dimostra il proprio modo di stare al mondo. Vinicio Capossela sparisce in camerino con un libro dai bordi consumati tra le mani, riemerge per mangiare da una schiscetta in…
Se il nome non vi dice ancora nulla, aspettate di ascoltarli e vorrete recuperare tutta la loro discografia. Gli Space Afrika non sono un fenomeno chiassoso, ma una piccola rarità che con delicatezza si prende il suo spazio nella scena. Sono di Manchester e della città hanno assorbito il ricchissimo background musicale – che va dagli Smiths ai Joy Division – non tanto in termini di sonorità, quanto di istanze della working class che portano avanti tra spoken word e campionamenti post-industriali.Nel loro quarto album in studio, Quiet Storm, si muovono negli spazi laminali tra elettronica, ambient, techno e new…
On the first of his two-night run at Gillette Stadium on Friday, Zach Bryan hit the stage wearing a shirt that read “Free Palestine.” The singer-songwriter appeared to be sending message to stadium and New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft after he banned Macklemore from the venue following the Seattle rapper’s comments while touring with Ed Sheeran. Reps for Bryan and Gillette stadium did not immediately return a request for comment. In early September, during a show at New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium, Macklemore yelled “Free Palestine”; expressed solidarity with people in Gaza and the occupied West Bank; showed images from…
It is 1977 and a small man with a bulging bag of vexations has arrived at the door uninvited. With his strange name and Buddy Holly glasses, he seems vaguely ridiculous, and not the sort of person we’d be likely to discuss a half-century later. And yet his first LP is a masterpiece—one of a string of them that would elevate him to stratospheric prominence. With its fluttering Byrds riffs, Faustian bargains, and Oscar Wilde epigrams, My Aim Is True introduced the world to the brilliant songcraft and outsized neurosis of Elvis Costello. It begins with “Welcome to the Working…
