”Once your body’s already going, there’s no stopping it, so I’ve just been writing,” Win Butler says.

Foo Fighters, Eddie Vedder, Margo Price, The Raconteurs, The Flaming Lips, Chris Stapleton, Jason Isbell, Beck, Brandi Carlile and many more will help celebrate what would’ve been Petty’s 70th birthday.

Tom Petty’s classic 1994 album ‘Wildflowers’ was originally supposed to be a double album with ten extra songs that ended up getting shelved. They’re here now (alongside some unearthed home demos and live recordings), and they instantly feel as classic as the 15 songs that did make the ‘Wildflowers’ cut in 1994…

The 2020 lineup of TFF also includes documentaries on Ronnie Wood, DMX, Serj Tankian, Banksy, Ricky Powell, Pharrell, Yung Lean, Harry Belafonte, plus the NYC premiere of Pete Davidson’s The King of Staten Island and more.

The Strokes also debuted more new songs and covered the Talking Heads’ ”Burning Down the House” at the Bernie Sanders rally in New Hampshire last night.

Kate Tempest’s new album was co-produced by Rick Rubin.

It’s their first album with Billy Corgan, James Iha, and Jimmy Chamberlin all in the band in 18 years, and as mentioned, it was recorded with Rick Rubin.

The song was co-produced by Rick Rubin and it’s reportedly off the long-talked-about ”reunion” album that Rubin is working with them on.

There may be a tour this year, too, with Billy, James and Jimmy (but not D’Arcy?).

It’s nice that Eminem hates Trump, but that doesn’t forgive his current inability to write music that’s fun to listen to.
