New Music + Music News For Apr. 17

By Johnny Firecloud @JohnnyFirecloud · On April 17, 2017

Kendrick Lamar didn’t release a second album on Sunday as everyone on the internet believed, but that’s alright. We survived the Y2K bug, we’ll get through this. On with today’s stories, only 1/4 of which are Coachella related. Let the love flow.

  1. Watch Kendrick Lamar debut DAMN songs at Coachella from last night, and bring out a bunch of cats + ninjas so he can breathe for a second in the fire avalanche.
  2. Lady Gaga released a new song The Cure during her Coachella performance. Here is the emotional garbage.
  3. Lorde also dropped a bunch of new shit on the desert fashionistas. It was exponentially better. She also did Kanye’s Runaway. 
  4. Harry Styles held his own well on SNL last weekend, making his solo debut on the Timberlake Paradigm. The Mick Jagger impression was equal parts hilarious and make-me-want-to-punch-you annoying.
  5. The Mysteryland Festival was cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances. Set for June, the fest was set to include LCD Soundsystem, Run The Jewels, Die Atwoord and more.
  6. Consequence of Sound has compiled the best-dressed Coachella attendees and wow, that’s just fucking awesome.
  7. Radiohead was hit with a barrage of sound problems at Coachella, but somehow pulled off an incredible set nonetheless. Thom Yorke’s sarcastic seething delivery of Creep alone made the entire thing worthwhile.
  8. Lauryn Hill joined DJ Snake at Coachella for a few Fugees hits.
  9. No Doubt/AFI supergroup DREAMCAR has released new track All Of The Dead Girls.
  10. Watch Janelle Monae and Stevie Wonder perform Superstition together.
  11. If it seems like hip hop beats are getting chintzy and shitty, here’s why: they’re making them on iPhones.
  12. Music industry now at full-on war with YouTube. Pray for your lyric videos.
  13. You should know the name Harris Wittels, who has made you laugh whether you know it or not. He died and that’s not cool.
  14. The return of Monterey Pop, the music festival that started it all.
  15. Katy Perry is not the queen of the resistance. Stop it.
  16. Gorillaz announce North American Tour, and this one’s gonna be righteous.
  17. Famous people whose names are complete sentences.
  18. Universal is about to commit prime fuckery with Prince’s estate. Get a will, no matter what you do.
  19. Here’s how every Chainsmokers song is written. Hitting no. 1 on the Billboard 200 today, these fucks are the Donald Trump of music.
  20. The new Star Wars themed lands coming to Disney Parks are getting pretty exciting.
  21. Carrie Fisher will not be in Star Wars Episode IX. But she’ll be in VIII a bunch, and you better believe there’s no way Disney is going to let you forget it over the next eight months.
  22. In brand-obsessed culture, Scottish artist REILLY is mashing up designer brands and some of the most familiar trademarks.
  23. Tyler, The Creator recorded the theme song for Bill Nye’s new Netflix show.

Keep up with new music on the Firecloud’s Fresh Blood playlist on Spotify, updated damn near every day.
