Sarah Mary Chadwick announces new LP, shares "Not Cool Like NY / Not Cool Like LA"

Australia-based artist Sarah Mary Chadwick has announced her ninth LP, Take Me Out To a Bar / What Am I, Gatsby?, due out on April 4 via Kill Rock Stars. She co-produced it with Chris Townend, and she says she stopped drinking after making it. “I can hear it,” she says. “The desolate desire for change, the goodbyes, the fading romance, the memories. And the pain – that’s different but that never leaves, it’s part of me.”

The first single is “Not Cool Like NY / Not Cool Like LA,” which is harrowing and emotional with just the power of Chadwick’s voice and piano. Hear it below.

Mountain Climer Releases New Single “Paper Gowns” Out February 28

Jeremy Climer, the creative force behind Mountain Climer, unveils “Paper Gowns,” a gripping reflection on life’s final moments. Releasing on February 28th and produced by Paul Mahern (John Mellencamp, The Blake Babies), the track brings together an all-star lineup, including Heidi Lynne Gluck, Shannon Hayden, Devon Ashley, and David England, weaving a rich sonic tapestry of raw emotion and atmospheric instrumentation.

“Paper Gowns” explores the fleeting nature of time and the weight of past choices. Initially conceived as a slow ballad, Mahern pushed the band to pick up the tempo, adding a sense of urgency that contrasts the song’s dark themes. “Shannon’s guitar work is like a little bit of sugar to help the medicine go down,” Climer notes.

The song emerged from a spontaneous and organic recording process—Climer entered the studio with only voice memo demos, trusting Mahern and his hand-picked musicians to build the songs in real-time. “We played like we had been a band for ten years,” Climer recalls. “To borrow Paul’s word, it was magical.”

In addition to releasing new music, Climer has launched a crowdfunding campaign to support the album Before You Turn Out the Lights, the full-length project that features “Paper Gowns.” Hosted on GiveSendGo, the campaign allows fans to contribute directly to the recording, production, and distribution efforts, helping bring this deeply personal collection of songs to life. Supporters can learn more and donate at GiveSendGo.com/BeforeYouTurnOutTheLights.

Jeremy Climer’s journey spans from small-town Indiana to cities across the country, shaped by his love of punk, alternative rock, and classic songwriting. His 2022 debut, I’m Not Enough & That’s Okay, was a deeply personal project that laid the groundwork for his evolution as Mountain Climer. In 2023, he released two EPs and a single, collaborating with Travis Dolan of Level 32 Studio in Denver.

With Paper Gowns, Climer continues his sonic exploration, pushing the boundaries of storytelling through music.

10 years ago, Paul played Irving Plaza on Valentine’s Day (which is in three days), and this will be an even more intimate show than that one was. Bowery Ballroom holds about 600 people, a far cry from the 80,000+ person MetLife Stadium that Paul played during his last NYC-area appearance. He did a similarly small, last-minute show at Highline Ballroom in 2007 too.

Paul is in NYC this week for the three-hour SNL 50th anniversary special that’s airing live on Sunday (2/16). This all comes shortly after The Beatles’ won the Best Rock Performance Grammy for their “final” song “Now and Then,” and after Paul attended the Super Bowl.

SZA Responds to the Possibility of Releasing Joint Album With Kendrick Lamar

Ahead of SZA and Kendrick Lamar‘s co-headlining tour, the artist is letting fans know her thoughts on a potential collaborative album.

The duo are slated to go on the Grand National Tour together this year beginning in April. The artists have worked with one another as features on each others’ songs and after stopping by on the Sherri show, SZA revealed if a joint album would be possible in the future. When asked, SZA replies, “I would love that. I would love that! I think that would be amazing. He’s such a genius.” She continued, “And part of his genius is him being so elusive and so mysterious, and I love it. I don’t know what’s going on as much as you don’t know what’s going on.”

In another part of the interview, SZA spoke about their creative process behind their GNX collaborative tracks “Gloria” and “Luther.” She shared, “When ‘Luther’ came on, I said, ‘Okay that’s the vocals we’re using, period,’ and same with ‘Gloria,’ I said, ‘Okay and I love that.’” She added, “He’s a huge part of my fumble and finding era because I’m just trusting all of his expertise and being thrust into these moments and spotlight and saying yes, and he’s so good at saying yes but staying grounded, so I’m just like, ‘Teach me, sensei, what you know.’”

SZA and Kendrick Lamar’s Grand National Tour begins on April 19 in Minneapolis before ending on June 18 in Washington.

CBGB inspired new Nike Dunk Low sneaker

Legendary, infamous NYC punk club CBGB is the inspiration for a new Nike sneaker. As Complex reports, images of the new sneaker were leaked by X user @Brandon1an. It’s part of the Dunk Low line which first debuted back in 1985, and the most noticeable nod to CBGB is how “NIKE” is written both on the sneaker’s tongue and on the back of the shoe in the club’s distinctive red serif font logo.

The inside of the tongues have the location: a misspelled “Bleeker” (it’s “Bleecker”) on the left shoe and “Bowery” on the right. The insoles, meanwhile, pay homage to the sticker-covered walls. Thankfully, nothing specific seems to represent the club’s iconic bathrooms.

There’s been no official announcement of these shoes from Nike, who are hopefully correctly that spelling error. Stay tuned for an official release announcement, and check out a few pics of the shoes below.

CBGB closed in 2006 and is now home to a John Varvatos store.

David Lynch has died

Filmmaker, artist, musician and all-around iconoclast David Lynch has died at age 78. His family shared the sad news: “It is with deep regret that we, his family, announce the passing of the man and the artist, David Lynch. We would appreciate some privacy at this time. There’s a big hole in the world now that he’s no longer with us. But, as he would say, ‘Keep your eye on the donut and not on the hole.’ It’s a beautiful day with golden sunshine and blue skies all the way.”

David Lynch, a lifelong enthusiastic smoker, announced last August that he had been diagnosed with emphysema and could no longer leave his house without losing his breath. According to Deadline, sources say he took a turn for the worse after being forced to relocate from his house due to the Sunset Fire.

Born January 20, 1946 in Missoula, MT, Lynch began making short films in the 1960s, but it wasn’t until 1977 that he made his first feature, the iconic Eraserhead that announced him as a singular talent. His films included Blue Velvet, Lost Highway, The Elephant Man, The Straight Story, Mulholland Drive and more.

Lynch is probably best known for co-creating Twin Peaks, the endlessly influential television series that was just as weird as his movies, yet became a major hit in 1990. Lasting two seasons on ABC, the show spawned a film, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, and a third season of the show in 2017, Twin Peaks: The Return.

In addition to his films, David Lynch was also a music lover and musician and he made albums with composer Angelo Badalamenti and singer Julee Cruise, as well as many solo album like 2011’s Crazy Clown Time. Last year he released Cellophane Memories, an album with Chrystabell. He also directed a few music videos for others, including the original video for Chis Isaak’s “Wicked Game.”

Lynch was also an accomplished painter and sculptor, and a vocal proponent for transcendental meditation.

Rest easy David. The world just got a little less weird, a little less beautiful.

Phil Lentz Welcomes You Into the Soundscape of “Bebopping Along” and "I Remember The Early Days"

Phil Lentz Presents… Vol. II delivers an array of standout tracks, with "Bebopping Along" and "I Remember the Early Days" emerging as particularly memorable highlights. These pieces showcase Phil Lentz’s exceptional talent as a composer, pianist, and bandleader.

"Bebopping Along" is a lively and intricate celebration of bebop, marked by Richard Philbin’s standout saxophone performance. His soulful and precise melodies take center stage, weaving through the track with energy and flair. A nimble piano line dances alongside, evoking the charm of late-night jazz sessions. Together, these elements create a track that feels both fresh and rooted in tradition, a testament to Lentz’s ability to balance individual brilliance with ensemble cohesion.

On the other hand, "I Remember the Early Days" offers a contemplative and nostalgic contrast. Opening with a delicate piano motif, the track gradually unfolds with lush harmonies and heartfelt instrumentation. It’s a reflective piece that captures the beauty of memories and the passage of time, drawing the listener into its emotional depth. Lentz’s sensitive arrangement brings out the best in his ensemble, creating a piece that resonates long after it ends.

Throughout the album, Lentz demonstrates a keen understanding of jazz’s ability to convey complex emotions through both improvisation and careful arrangement. The production, led by Dennis Harte, ensures that each track is given space to breathe, allowing each instrument to shine while maintaining a harmonious overall sound. Whether it’s the tight-knit rhythms of "Bebopping Along" or the subtle, emotive layers of "I Remember the Early Days," the production style creates an immersive listening experience that draws the audience deeper into the music.

‘Eno’ Documentary Streaming Debut Is a 24-Hour Event With Multiple Versions and Surprise Guests

“Eno” was already a groundbreaking documentary, as the first non-fiction feature film to screen in a different randomly-generated version each showing. But since its January premiere at Sundance, the documentary about the music and creative process of Brian Eno has only been available to screen at special roadshow theatrical engagements — from which it has grossed nearly a million dollars so far.

Now Gary Hustwit‘s technologically innovative doc will be available to viewers at home for the first time in a special 24-hour livestream with multiple versions of the film about the British musician and producer who played with Roxy Music and worked with David Bowie, the Talking Heads and U2. Special surprise guests will drop by the livestream to perform and give talks, and the stream will also incorporate the generative art prequel piece “Nothing Can Ever Be the Same” that showed at the Venice Biennale.

“You see unique versions of it at different times around the clock,” says Hustwit. “So people in other countries and in Asia and all the places that have been bugging us about setting up events in their cities can all watch.”

“Every few hours there’ll be a version of the film, but there’ll be all kinds of things in between,” says Hustwit. “You could dip in, watch a version in the morning, go to work, come back, watch another one in the middle of the night.”

Just 24,000 tickets to the 24-hour livestream on Jan. 24 will be released, at a ticket price of $24.

“We’ve got a very experimental approach with the film and this is one of the things we get to do — try new things,” says Hustwit.

Hustwit, the director of acclaimed documentaries like “Helvetica,” pioneered a unique approach with “Eno” that recombines more than 500 hours of footage into a different 84-minute version each time it’s watched. It’s not a technology that readily translates to selling the rights to a streaming service. Still, Hustwit says he’s working on bringing dynamically-generated movies to streaming, not just “Eno” but projects from other filmmakers too.

“The industry, especially the documentary industry, just needs a little bit of of shaking up, and we can try new things. It’s definitely like the distribution system is broken now. So why not mix things up and try something new?” he says.

“I think that functionality is something that the streamers will have to adopt soon, with all the disruption that’s happening and will continue to happen,” Hustwit predicts.
