I can say that most people now are making use of one streaming service or another to watch their favorite movies and TV shows including music too. Netflix and Spotify are my favourite which I've been using for years.

What's your favorite streaming service?

like seriously, i swear the things shrink every generation. i lost one of mine last week and spent an hour tearing apart my apartment only to find it stuck to the bottom of my sock (dont ask). its not even like they sound better for being tiny, they just get more annoying to handle. and dont get me started on the 'tap to control' nonsense — half the time im accidentally pausing my music when i try to adjust them. bigger isnt always better but maybe we could stop at 'still fits in my hand without vanishing into another dimension'? anyone else think this is getting ridiculous or am i just cursed with butterfingers?

Kelsey Lu‘s first album in seven years, So Help Me God, is out this Friday, and ahead of its release, they’ve given us a final early taste with the majestic, orchestrated “Cutting Off the Head of a Ghost.” They originally wrote it with Patrick Wimberly for the animated series Arcane, and it features a children’s choir.

Alex Orange Drink (So So Glos, Bright Eyes‘ live band) and Michael Ian Cummings (Skaters, The Dead Trees) have launched an intimate new show series in NYC. The inaugural “Sunday Sessions” happened at Lower East Side bar VICTORIA! On Sunday (6/7), with Alex, Michael, Maya Luz and Rob Mastrianni all performing. They also welcomed a special guest, Conor Oberst, who was in NYC for Bright Eyes’ Forest Hills Stadium show the night before. He joined Alex on his track “Queen Victoria,” Bright Eyes’ “Victory City” and “Bells and Whistles,” and also did “Cape Canaveral,” “We Are Nowhere and It’s Now,” and “Land Locked Blues,” with Emma Ogier (who sang with the band at Forest Hills) and Harrison Whitford (a collaborator of Conor, Phoebe Bridgers, Matt Berninger and more) each joining them at points.

Alex told us:

We’re starting a Sunday acoustic series at Victoria for songwriters to play deep cuts, try out new material, anything really. Michael Ian Cummings and I have been throwing around this idea for a while, he finally got the ball rolling on it.

Miwi La Lupa is also doing a series at Victoria on the 2nd and 4th Sundays of the month. Last night was the first of a very DIY impromptu get together. I played some songs off of my album victory lap (#23) which was written and recorded during cancer treatment in ‘23, the first in series of five albums recorded during that time.

Micheal played some songs off his masterful new album Godzilla. The great Maya Luz played beautiful songs and Rob Mastrianni blew minds. Conor joined me for a few songs that we wrote together and then he played a few more along with Harrison Whitford and Emma Ogier. It was very organic, it just kind of happened. It came together an hour before the show. We’re looking forward to having more community get togethers of this kind. People in a room in 3D. Positive energy.

Porches today shared a new song, “Angel,” that is a tribute to Baby’s All Right owner Billy Jones, who died last July (Jones was also Porches’ manager). Band founder Aaron Maine wrote, “Uploaded a song i wrote for Billy last july to the porches bandcamp. lots of love to everyone missing him today. i feel like he’s with us all the time.”

“Angel” is a spare piano ballad and Aaron sings, “i guess now you’re an angel / but you always have been / and the only difference / is that now you’re in heaven.” You can listen to the song below.

Porches released a new mixtape in May, MASK, and are on tour this month. There’s also NYC rooftop show on July 2 (address TBA), and they play Just Like Heaven fest in August. All dates are listed below.

Rush began their first tour in over a decade on Sunday night with their first of four shows at The Forum in LA. The venue was also the site of their last show — August 15, 2015 — which also turned out to be the final show with their original power trio lineup — drummer Neil Peart died in 2020 from an aggressive form of brain cancer.

On the drums is German virtuoso and viral sensation Anika Nilles, who has been almost unanimously accepted by Rush’s fan community, and surviving members Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson were also augmented by keyboardist Loren Gold who has also played with The Who and Chicago.

Sunday’s show began with a satirical short film, “Where’s Rush?,” where some teenagers trying to find Rush in a haunted castle and featured frontman Geddy Lee as his sausage maker character, Jason Segel and Paul Rudd (reprising their Funny or Die Rush fan characters) as well as South Park characters as “Lil’ Rush.” The band then kicked off the night with “Xanadu” which has has never been a show-opening song before. The first set included “Limelight,” “Far Cry,” “Subdivisions,” “Caravan,” “Vital Signs,” and more with a Neil Peart tribute collage shown during “Bravado.” The first set ended with “The Spirit of the Radio.”

The second set opened with the three-part “2112,” and also included Aimee Mann welcomed to the stage to perform 1987’s “Time Stand Still” which she sang on the studio version. This was the first time she’d ever performed the song live with the band, though. There was also “Distant Early Warning,” “YYZ,” “Dreamline,” and more, plus another tribute to Peart, more pre-recorded sketches, and the South Park kids return to intro the second set’s final number, “Tom Sawyer” which they call “Huckleberry Finn.”

Rush then returned for a two-song encore of “By-Tor & The Snow Dog,” which they hadn’t played live since 2004, and finally “Working Man.” As the night ended there was a final Neil Peart tribute.

Check out video and setlist from Sunday’s show below.

Rush’s tour hits NYC for four sold-out shows at Madison Square Garden on July 28 & 30 and August 1 & 3.

Beastie Boys‘ Mike D has announced his debut solo album, Thank You, which will be out August 28 via Capitol. You can preorder it on clear vinyl and CD in the BV shop. He made it at his home studio with sons Skyler and Davis Diamond — who are in his backing band 5D — along with Carter Lang, Jared Solomon, Ging, Jason Lader, Eddie Ruscha, Tyran Donaldson and others.

“It’s been so much fun making this music with people I love and I have grown to really appreciate in our collaboration,” says Mike D. “And I just hope it’s fun for others and not overly serious, because let’s be real, I’m releasing this music into a very strange and dark and power-fixated world that really devalues art and feelings and compassion and empathy and equality.

The album includes singles “Switch Up” and “What We Got,” and he’s just released a third single, “True Colors.”

Check out the cover art and tracklist below.

Mike D and 5D have been playing shows and they’re currently on tour in Europe. They’ll play San Francisco’s Portola festival in September and all dates are listed below.
