New Music + Music News For May 9

By Johnny Firecloud @JohnnyFirecloud · On May 9, 2017

Weird news day, boys and girls. As a general FYI, on days when the music news leaves a bit to be desired, I’ll add some peripheral links on some what-the-fuck-isms in the news of the day. So let’s get to it, yeah?

  1. I KNEW IT: Father John Misty is a hidden menace in the Pizzagate conspiracy. He also killed Michael Jackson.
  2. By the way, Michael Jackson was convinced people were trying to end his life… right before he died. See?
  3. People are getting really excited to fly pigs near Trump Tower for one day. Let’s find something more worthwhile/effective to do.
  4. The tale of the band who torched their own tour bus… for a good reason.
  5. Streaming is now generating $100 million/month at WMG. That’s a 45% leap over last year.
  6. Ableton built a free browser playground to show how music works.
  7. Cavemen used the same parts of their brain to make tools that musicians do to write music. Then there’s the crossover artists, such as Andrew W.K.
  8. These devices help turn headphones into hearing loss warning systems.
  9. Songs that get stuck in your head are called earworms, and that’s fucking nasty. There’s also a science behind it.
  10. There’s been a breakthrough in ecstasy testing kits: great for slightly-safer partying, really bad for getting away with it.
  11. A bunch of pothead mice got Benjamin Button syndrome, which may lead to anti-aging scientific developments. And now you can stop asking me why I look so good.
  12. This is perfect. Send this to every “empath” and “synesthete” you know.
  13. Angry red snowflakes don’t like Trump’s preferred handjob delivery girl.
  14. The ad geniuses from the infamous Pepsi commercial appear to have found a new job: getting fat women to buy fat-lady bottles of Dove soap and calling it “empowerment”.
  15. Hey middle schoolers, got a deal for you. Like a gun on Instagram, get suspended from school.
  16. Have some piss beer: a Danish brewery is now making beer with recycled urine. Budweiser will be filing a lawsuit within hours.
  17. The Gorillaz Demon Dayz festival lineup has been announced.
  18. Eagles of Death Metal to release I Love You All The Time – Live at the Olympia in Paris DVD. It features the Antiquiet-debuted cover of GNR’s It’s So Easy.
  19. Die Antwoord’s final album is about to arrive. Check out Love Drug as a taste.
  20. Katy Perry might not be someone you want to fuck with.
  21. The National is getting mysterious with their new Sleep Well Beast album teaser.
  22. Brody Dalle is in the stuuuuudio.
  23. OH MY GOD, there’s a King of Leon who slutshamed a wrestler and now social media is up in arms and and and… jesus fucking christ let’s all just take a break from the internet for a minute.

Keep up with new music on the Firecloud’s Fresh Blood playlist on Spotify.
