1. TOPSPIN: The underestimated threat of AI 

   Years ago, I read a wonderful science fiction short story by Herbert Goldstone, written in 1953 — the year is important — called “Virtuoso”, in which a composer, referred to only as the Maestro, so that we know he’s a great composer, demonstrates how to play the piano to his domestic robot, Rollo.  At first […]

2. Lana Del Rey Unveils ‘007 First Light’ Theme Song

   There’s a new Bond theme in town — and this one drifts in on a haze of melancholy glamour courtesy of Lana Del Rey. The artist has been tapped to perform and co-write “First Light,” the official title track for the upcoming video game 007 First Light, marking one of the most on-brand pairings the […]

5. Pearl Jam Tour Photographer Geoff Whitman Talks New Book

   For Pearl Jam lifers, there are dream gigs — and then there’s what Geoff Whitman has been doing for the past two years.

6. ‘Roth’ Is a Verb, Says David Lee Roth, and He Proved it in His Coachella Cameo

   For David Lee Roth, the song “Jump” isn’t just a huge pop hit from 1984, the final album from his original run with Van Halen. It represents his genuine state of mind, a calling from the deep end, a commitment to just go for it. “Lead with your forehead,” Roth explains with a laugh. “I’ve […]

8. Nine Inch Nails, Boys Noize Detail New Album

   Following their debut combined set at Coachella last weekend billed as Nine Inch Noize, Nine Inch Nails and Boys Noize have detailed their collaborative album Nine Inch Nails – Nine Inch Noize, which is out Friday (April 17). The project was teased last week on Coachella promotional billboards erected along California’s I-10 highway. The artists […]

9. Adopt Fantastic Cat

   Brian Dunne was my favorite “new to me” artist of 2025. His album Clams Casino mixed bitterly clever yet never cynical lyrics with the kind of Billy Joel-meets-Bruce Springsteen pop rock that ruled 1980s radio. It gave me something I didn’t know I was missing. Ever since, I’ve been craving more.  The more is here, […]

10. WU LYF Returns From 15 Year Slumber to Make Us Feel Again

    It felt like WU LYF had crawled out of the swamp when their debut record Go Tell Fire to the Mountain appeared in 2011. Awarded the Best New Music distinction by Pitchfork, the Mancunian collective’s deliberately mysterious approach to PR threatened to overshadow its music. The quartet refused to give interviews and press releases were […]
