The Kendrick Lamar & SZA track, "All the Stars" was released as the lead single to the soundtrack for the 2018 film, "Black Panther."
On this day in 1980 Ian Curtis of Joy Division took his own Life at the age of only 23.
"Girl U Want" has been covered by Soundgarden, Superchunk, Zombie Ghost Train, Doomriders, the Freelance Whales, Chancho en Piedra and I:Scintilla.
Simz’s previous album had been born out of dark times and, likewise, on ‘Drop 6’ the 26-year-old tries to find a silver lining in challenging times; the resulting record itself a time capsule of lockdown life – a rough-edged release that includes much of the push and pull between introspection, catharsis and careful optimism that we all know too well in these isolated times. It also has a palpable sense of freedom to it, with quarantine allowing artists greater room to experiment consequence-free.
The proceeds from Iceage's new Coronavirus-inspired track 'Lockdown Blues' will go directly toward Doctors Without Borders. Purchase the song here: iceage.bandcamp.com

New album on 7/31! Singer Grian Chatten has described the self-titled new single as “a list of rules for the self” as well as “principles for self-prescribed happiness that can often hang by a thread. “It’s ostensibly a positive message, but with repetition comes different meanings, that’s what happens to mantras when you test them over and over,” Chatten explains. “There’s this balance between sincerity and insincerity as the song goes on and you see that in the music video as well. The idea was influenced by a lot of the advertising I was seeing – the repetitive nature of these uplifting messages that take on a surreal and scary feel the more you see them.” The new video features 'Game of Thrones' actor Aidan Gillen www.youtube.com
Goodbye for now, Lynn Shelton. Thank you for always making everyone smile and feel special. You are an angel in every sense of the word.
