Recorded live in the fall of 2019 in Brooklyn, At Pioneer Works has a calmness and serenity about it. Melodically, there is plenty of room to breathe. Each instrument – vocals, guitar, hand claps, percussion — fills in what it needs to organically. Nothing is overworked, just enhanced. Opener, “Surbajo,” features chanting verses that mimic the push and pull of guitar and soft percussion. The effect forms a close weave of sound — patterns that are stitched together and pulled apart, over and o...

The Melvins frontman reflects on past projects like Fantômas and Crystal Fairy—and looks ahead to Working with God, the new Melvins record
For our latest Autodiscography, we catch up with the always-opinionated, never-resting Buzz Osborne (better known as King Buzzo) of Melvins—a band vital to the development of the Seattle grunge scene, from its infancy in the early to mid-80s to its apex in 1994. That’s when the bona fide alt-rock movement came to a screeching halt after the death of Nirvan...

From high-waisted denim and ultra-wide legs to extreme cut-outs and double denim, jeans have seen their fair share of dubious trends (and outright fashion disasters). Here are nine (sometimes embarrassing) demin trends and where they came from.
1. Acid Wash
Like many an '80s slang term, the acid washing process has its roots in 1960s surf culture. According to CRFashionBook, the trend really took off in the 1980s, after Guess released “the first pair of ‘pre-washed’ bleach-splattered jeans.”

Alright alright alright! Matthew McConaughey's here to stoke the fires that started when Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt took part in a charity table read to re-enact a scene from "Fast Times At Ridgemont High" on Sept. 17.
Aniston's character, Linda, was hard at work trying to seduce Pitt's character, Brad Hamilton, during a scene from the film. The rest of us watching could tell that there was just a tad bit of sexual tension between the two, and now McConaughey is confirming that yes, he fe...

The first official trailer for the upcoming reboot of "Saved By the Bell" was released from Peacock on Tuesday. It's surprisingly fresh and relevant, while seamlessly merging the show's old-school actors with its newer, younger stars.
Much of the original gang is here, including Mark Paul Gosselaar (Zack Morris), Mario Lopez (A.C. Slater), Elizabeth Berkley (Jessie Spano) and Principal Toddman (John Michael Higgins). Tiffani Theissen also returns as Kelly Kapowski.
Dustin Diamond's character,...

As we near the blessed end of 2020, let’s revisit the time Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention inspired some fans to combine the group’s experimental music with a fragment of America’s decaying pop-culture symbolism: Santa Claus. Gather ‘round the computer and burn some incense—it’s time to experience “Twas The Night Before Christmas” through the twisted mindset of Zappa’s avant-garde song “Absolutely Free,” thanks to one fan, his brother Bob, and a little help from the Yippies.
First, a...

Besides Paul and Linda McCartney, Denny Laine was the only other constant in Wings, McCartney’s first post-Beatles band, from 1971 to 1981.
That trio was the creative force behind Wings’ biggest album, “Band On the Run,” which scored hits with the songs “Jet,” “Helen Wheels” and, most famously, the title track.
Laine pays tribute to that stage of his career, as well as his time with the Moody Blues in the mid-1960s, with a performance by the Moody Wing Band on Saturday night at the Flying Mon...
