Moby listed 'Lola' as a song he can no longer listen to, stating, 'the lyrics were gross and transphobic.' He expressed surprise at how 'unevolved' the lyrics seemed.

It's time for 2026 California to wake up to the fact that Sib, Joe Sib, is a contender for the Best of Us Award. It's wildly rare to have an artist like Sib who crosses over from being in the early punk rock scene to co-founding SideOneDummy Records and discovering talent like Flogging Molly.

Jerry Harrison and Adrian Belew reunite to celebrate the influential record Remain in Light, often cited as Talking Heads' peak, with a concert tour.

Shot by photographer Michael Ochs, the band appears completely wrapped in a single sheet of translucent pink plastic or fabric, a playful literal riff on their name that perfectly suits the whimsical, experimental spirit of the psychedelic era.

I was too embarrassed to sing in my apartment, he says on a video call. But my roommate at the time was dating the preacher's daughter, and had keys to the church across the street. In the dead of night, the madcap bassist and singer took his recording equipment to the empty church, set up on the podium, and first sang his anti-war song Too Many Puppies.

This guy started playing piano at the age of 3. This is such a complicated, amazing musician. This is the only guy that Miles Davis said, 'That guy can play!' Keenan praised Ahmad Jamal's exceptional musicianship and technical proficiency, emphasizing the pianist's influence and recognition from jazz legend Miles Davis.

Much has been mythologised about Laurel Canyon in the 1970s, the loose hillside network of rented houses, recording studios, informal salons and open doors in the hidden in the Hollywood Hills. Musicians, artists and writers moving between kitchens, gardens and living rooms - stars like Joni Mitchell, The Byrds, The Doors, Frank Zappa are said to have played songs for one another, partied, took drugs and slept with each other, living freely while writing the music we still listen to today.

If you'd been traveling down Valencia Street on Sunday afternoon, you might have seen a 100-boomer-long procession snaking down the sidewalk in the light drizzle, its umbrella-toting occupants looking halfway like mourners. As one among the age 50-, 60- and 70-and-up gathered, I can verify: Our line was not for a funeral. On Sunday, though, between the setlist, the 400-capacity room and the 3 p.m. start time, well, this was a one-of-a-kind Van Morrison show. That much was evident after he took the stage and - just two minutes into set opener "Kidney Stew Blues" - Morrison turned to his seven-piece band, and ... cracked a smile and laughed?!?

The Warfield opened on May 13, 1922, as Loew's Warfield - a " grand dame of a theatre" dedicated to film and vaudeville with a capacity of over 2,650 and a 33-foot-deep stage. The venue was the 300th theater commissioned by Marcus Loew and the 26th opened by his company within 18 months. The Warfield was built by local architect Gustave Albert Lansburgh; the early '20s were a boom time for Lansburgh, who simultaneously designed the neighboring Golden Gate Theatre (which also opened in 1922).

unfortunately [Love's] not able to make it to tonight's screening,

Becoming Led Zeppelin, a film about the British band that dominated the music industry in the 1970s, was the most successful feature documentary at the US box office in 2025, taking over $10m. (Taylor Swift's The Official Release Party of a Showgirl grossed considerably more, with $34m, but as an album-promoting clipshow it is evidently in a different category.) Despite breaking up in 1980 after the death

One such person who was finding his singular creative spark amidst the volatility was Lamere's partner, the late Alan Vega, one half of the pioneering electronic-punk outfit Suicide. After the group's 1977 self-titled album - a raw record filled with grinding drum machines, haunting organ, feral screams and ghostly atmospherics - but before their more polished follow-up in 1980, Vega wanted to do some solo stuff.
