RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS – “EDDIE”
“Sometimes we don’t realize how deeply affected and connected we are to artists until the day they die,” says Anthony Kedis of RHCP’s new track. “Eddie Van Halen was a one of a kind. The day after his death Flea came into rehearsal with an emotional bassline. John, Chad and I started playing along and pretty soon with all our hearts, a song in his honor effortlessly unfolded. It felt good to be sad and care so much about a person who had given so much to our lives. Although the song doesn’t speak to Eddie by name, it talks about his early days on the Sunset Strip and the rock n roll tapestry that Van Halen painted on our minds. In the end, our song asks that you not remember Eddie for dying but for living his wildest dream.” Red Hot Chili Peppers’ second double album of 2022, Return of the Dream Canteen, is out October 14.

THE INTELLIGENCE – MY WORK HERE IS DUMB”
Lars Finberg says “My Work Here is Dumb” is a melding of Can and Steely Dan, and we can hear it.

The Intelligence’s new album, Lil Peril is out next week.

S.G. GOODMAN – “KEEPER OF THE TIME”
S.G. Goodman just began her first ever headlining tour, supporting her great sophomore album Teeth Marks, and in honor of that she’s shared a new live video of one of the album’s standout tracks, the soaring, cathartic “Keeper of the Time.” “The keeper of the time is our body,” she says. “This song is really important to me. It’s about how storing trauma in your body is going to be impactful on all of your relationships. I close the album with that because it’s maybe the root of it all. Maybe the root of all the bad and all the good is really what we have left unprocessed or the work we haven’t done within ourselves. This song for me is all about the aftermath of trauma, and I think of it as a response to my song ‘Space and Time.'”
