DRAM and Lil Yachty released their euphoric collaboration “Broccoli” on Apr. 6, 2016. Great song! “Broccoli” reached #5 on the Hot 100, and it was a big part of Yachty’s rise to the stardom that he still enjoys today. The song officially turned 10 on Monday, which means it’s the perfect time for a viral tweet about the single’s cover art and its terrible graphic design.

Yesterday Kanye West was denied entry into the UK, leading to the cancellation of Wireless, the London festival he was supposed to headline this July. Pepsi, Rockstar Energy, PayPal, and other companies had already removed their sponsorship from Wireless by that point, citing Ye’s history of antisemitism and espousing Nazi rhetoric and imagery. Earlier this year he insisted he no longer holds those beliefs, which is convenient for him now that his new album BULLY is out. Ye apparently had no issue booking two nights at Inglewood’s SoFi Stadium last week to promote BULLY, and plenty of people were happy to come out to the shows. One such person was former Danity Kane member Aubrey O’Day, whose support of Ye in particular has raised some eyebrows.

American Football have shared another piece of their upcoming 4th full-length, and they are joined by a very special guest.
Titled ‘No Feeling’, it continues down the band’s recent path of crafting dizzyingly beautiful moments littered with sparkles of synth-laden prettiness. Despite how stunning the instrumental is, there is, of course, melancholy in the lyrical turns, with Mike Kinsella crooning with a broken numbness. It’s an incredible juxtaposition, the sort that the band have spent the last nearly 30 years honing their craft within.
And with the addition of Turnstile’s Brendan Yates on the jangly chorus, it is further cemented as an instant classic. Also serving as a vocalist who wears their heart firmly on their sleeve and leaves nothing to chance in expressing how they are feeling, it’s a potent combination to say the least.
Mike has this to say about the collaboration, explaining, ““Brendan came into the studio to sing along to a ‘gang vocal’ call-and-response part I’d written for the chorus of “No Feeling.” I had imagined his voice would be one of many voices scream-singing it, and was excited for it to be a sort of Easter Egg on the album. But after tracking the original parts, he asked if he could try a higher harmony that he was hearing. As soon as he started singing it, all of our jaws dropped, and we all were looking at each other like “Oh shit! THAT’S the dude from Turnstile!” His voice is so singular, and once he sang the part in *his* range, it was clear that the part now belonged to him and him alone…”
‘American Football (LP4)’ is set for release on May 01 via Polyvinyl.
It will also feature ‘Bad Moons’ which sounds a lot like this:

Since he came to the spotlight a little more than a decade ago, Sturgill Simpson has explored a bunch of different genres of music: psychedelic outlaw country, gritty blues-rock, old-timey bluegrass. Under his Johnny Blue Skies alter-ego, Simpson just released the disco-rock-country-funk experiment Mutiny After Midnight, and he and his band are about to take it out on tour. But it turns out that Simpson has been experimenting with genre for longer than anyone knew. Today, we get to see his ’90s-rapper incarnation.
