Ani Difranco has dropped her new single “Revolutionary Love,” the title track from the singer-songwriter’s upcoming album.
“It’s about carrying the energy of love and compassion into the center of our social movements and making it the driving force,” Difranco said in a statement on the track, which was inspired by the political schism affecting the nation. “It’s about finding it within ourselves to stay curious about our opponents instead of shutting down.”
Revolutionary Love, which also features the previously released singles “Do or Die” and “Contagious,...

Matthew McConaughey’s ears were put to the test Thursday night on “The Tonight Show” when Jimmy Fallon challenged him to a game of “Off Songs, Song Off” in which they have to identify popular songs played in the absolute wrong key — but the host let his guest have at least one victory.
The “Interstellar” actor’s knowledge of pop music was no match for Fallon, a veteran of his own Wheel of Musical Impressions with years of comedic experience imitating artists like Neil Young, Dave Matthews and Bob Dylan.
Plus, Fallon’s band, The Roots, were at the top of their game that evening, doing challenging renditions of Miley Cyrus’ “Party in the USA,” which completely evaded McConaughey but which Fallon guessed immediately,” and Three Dog Night’s “Joy to the World,” which McConaughey hummed along to but still ended up bested by Fallon’s quick recall.

The runaway success of Alien (1979) begat several imitators; monsters in space came into view again, but the lens was somewhat foggy on most of them. This is the nature of exploitation; take what you feel are the iconic (or most sellable) moments from a film and build upon those. Let’s look to the Italians, as we often do here, and talk about a film that erects an entire story around the chest-burster scene, while continually coming back to said scene. I’m talking about Contamination (1980) of course, Luigi Cozzi’s condemnation of trade relations with South America told in a sobering manner. Or, it’s *checks notes* an energetic mishmash of conspiracy thriller, grossout gorefests, and Invaders from Mars. I’m putting all my money on the latter.
Not released stateside until June of ‘82, Contamination hit the grindhouse circuit and was summarily dismissed as an Alien ripoff by people...

“I have so many crazy stories from that tour that half of them are blocked out from my memory,” Banoffee says over the phone from Melbourne. She’s recalling her stint as a member of Charli Xcx’s backing band in 2018, when the British pop artist was opening for Taylor Swift’s Reputation Tour – a kind of synth-pop Russian-doll situation in which Banoffee found herself performing for as many as 75,000 fans a night. “I’d like to think I’ve compartmentalized it for my own sanity,” she adds. “Once you’ve seen one sports stadium,...
