This Just In

Videos of the Day – week of 10/15/18

10/15 – heart-wrenching new video for John Prine’s new single (which feat. Brandi Carlile on backup vocals) from one of our favorite albums of the year.  He just won Artist of the Year at the annual Americana Awards, and per Rolling Stone the dedication to Max at the end of the video refers to “former Nashville mayor Megan Barry’s son Max, who died in 2017 from a combination of opioids and other drugs. Prine and Barry’s families are close and he performed at Max’s memorial service.”

10/16 – the Greek art rock band The Callas have collaborated with Sonic Youth’s Lee Renaldo on their new album. Makes sense to us!

10/17 – late last month, Wilco frontman Jeff Tweedy announced his 1st proper solo album WARM is due out 11/30 (Sukierae in 2014 was mostly a duo collab with his son). Here’s the 1st single/video:

10/18 – Muse has gone Back To The Future-meets-Gremlins-meets-Ghostbusters in their new video!?  Simulation Theory  is out 11/9 (with a very Tron/Stranger Things cover, dontcha think?)

10/19 – There’s a new Mark Erelli benefit song out today, on which he’s joined by Rosanne Cash, Lori McKenna and Josh Ritter (all of whom he’s either played with or produced), as well as Sheryl Crow and Anais Mitchell. 100 % of the proceeds from the song are being donated to Giffords: The Courage to Fight Gun Violence, the organization founded by former Arizona congresswoman Gabby Giffords.
