Music News + New Music For Aug 9th

By Johnny Firecloud @@JohnnyFirecloud · On August 9, 2017

Some days you’re the jumper, some days you’re holding the ramp. Whatever the case, we’re now halfway through this maniac week. Have you heard the new AQ podcast? We talk about the new QOTSA, an island run by monkeys in Liberia and more.

  1. RIP to the Rhinestone Cowboy himself, Glen Campbell. He was 81, and had sold over 45 million records – back when they were actual physical items you had to go to the store to buy.
  2. Watch Glen’s daughter Ashley pay tribute to her Dad.
  3. Here’s Radiohead covering Rhinestone Cowboy years ago in pre-emptive tribute.
  4. All is right in the world if David Letterman is coming back to TV with his own Netflix talk show.
  5. Chester recorded an episode of Carpool Karaoke with James Corden, and the show is letting his family decide whether to air the segment.
  6. The Dillinger Escape Plan have announced details for their final, and actually truly final, show.
  7. You’re slaving away trying to get your band some recognition, while a band that doesn’t even exist is #1 in the UK. The hell.
  8. Bear with me here, ’cause I know this is a stretch. But The National have made a melancholy, downtempo new song. Totally crazy, right? Listen here.
  9. Usher is unbelievably fucked in such an embarrassing way.
  10. Bill Murray went to a Groundhog Day stage production and everybody lost their damn minds.
  11. Kendrick Lamar and Bono hanging out together is not something I can properly picture.
  12. If you’re into it, here’s all the info on Eminem‘s new album, and if there is a god we will hear a transition from making fun of Mariah Carey and Christopher Reeve to the retarded monster-faced manslaughter-evading disgrace of a human named Caitlyn Jenner.
  13. Here’s how music royalties work in the digital age.
  14. iPhone 8. Wireless charging. Damn.
  15. The 808 drum machine is coming back, more compact and modernized.
  16. The people who would buy audiobooks for dogs are the same people who put rocks inside their genitals because Gwyneth Paltrow told them it would align their chakras. Hashtag fucking idiot lemmings.
  17. Lando Calrissian is working on another Childish Gambino album.
  18. Game of Thrones stars singing Ice Ice Baby is a lot more entertaining than anyone wants to admit.
  19. Fuck your brontosaurus dreams – the biggest dinosaur ever has been found, called the Patagotitan.
  20. If you’re gonna rob a house, maybe wait to take a shit til you get back to the secret underground robber lair. But if you can’t wait, have the decency to flush the goddamn toilet. It might just keep you out of prison.
  21. There are 16 circles in this image.
