It was only a year ago when Sabrina Teitelbaum released her previous Blondshell album If You Asked For A Picture. A few months after its release, she shared an expanded edition featuring contributions from artists like Conor Oberst, Samia, John Clacier, and more. What if I told you a new Blondshell album is already coming? We…

One set will feature Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness performed in full, while the second will pull material “from nearly four decades of unruly hits and dark treasures.”

The Smashing Pumpkins have announced the details of ‘The Rats In A Cage Tour’, celebrating 30 years of their seminal album ‘Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness’.
Set to make its way across North America from September to November, the band will be playing two unique and ambitious sets that not only give the album its moment in the sun but also so many other moments in their 40 years of music-making, with fan favourites, deep cuts and hits aplenty. So expected the unexpected.
Vocalist/guitarist Billy Corgan had this to say about the tour, stating, “Staging a Mellon Collie-themed show is something we’ve discussed for over a decade, and finally the stars have aligned and exactly on the terms I’d set: which was to build a special night around its most enduring aspirations and ideas. With set 1 of the Rats In A Cage tour exclusively featuring Mellon Collie songs in a highly theatrical setting, and set 2 drawing from the rest of our canon so that there’s a decent amount of variance as to what songs we’ll play from night to night: from our first in ‘Gish’ to our last in ‘Aghori Mhori Mei’.”

All Things Go, the extremely fun festival that people love to call “lesbian Coachella,” remains a multi-city affair. Maybe we should call it “lesbian Rolling Loud” instead. Earlier this month, ATG organizers unveiled the impressive lineup for the festival’s DC flagship show. (It’s at Merriweather Post Pavilion, so it’s really closer to Baltimore, but sure, fine, “DC.”) Today, we learn the lineup for All Things Go NYC, the slightly smaller variation that goes down at Queens’ Forest Hills Stadium over the same weekend, Sep. 25-27. At this version of the festival, the entire bill is female.

The 78-year-old Japanese musician Haruomi Hosono has been a vastly influential force for decades. After stints in the ’60s psych-rock band Apryl Fool and the folk-rock group Happy End, Hosono led Yellow Magic Orchestra, the electronic group that started in the late ’70s and had a vast impact on all sorts of futuristic music. As a solo artist and producer, Hosono has continued to explore an inspire. In recent years, he’s been sampled by Vampire Weekend and covered by Cornelius, Sam Gendel, and Mac DeMarco (more than once). Now, he’s releasing a new album through the American label Ghostly International.
