Nowadays I often forget J. Cole ever had a role in the Kendrick Lamar/Drake beef. But before there was “Not Like Us,” there was Future and Metro Boomin’s “Like That,” on which Kendrick made a guest appearance to declare: “Motherfuck the big three, it’s just big me.” That line was referencing Cole’s previous claim dubbing himself, Kendrick, and Drake today’s “Big Three” emcees. In April 2024, Cole bitterly responded with the surprise mixtape Might Delete Later, which was relatively forgotten after the “Not Like Us” craze. Now, Cole is reportedly being sued over a song off that tape, but not for the reason you might think. View the full article

Earlier this year, New Orleans post-punk duo the Convenience released their very good album Like Cartoon Vampires. Today, the band follows that LP with a new one-off single that has nothing whatsoever to do with cartoon vampires, even though it’s almost Halloween and everything. Their latest track is called “Angel.” If anything, angels are the opposite of cartoon vampires. They’re at least enemies. I’m pretty certain of that. If a vampire and an angel saw each other in a bar, maybe it wouldn’t be on sight, but they’d at least glare at each other surreptitiously. View the full article

Last year, Public Enemy hypeman extraordinaire Flavor Flav took it upon himself to sponsor the US Women’s Water Polo team on their way to the Paris Olympics. It worked! Flav became the team’s official hypeman, and the team — well, they didn’t win the gold. They came in fourth, which seems like the worst possible outcome for an Olympic hopeful. But they competed! And now, Flav has turned his attention to the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan, and he’s now the official hypeman for Bobsled And Skeleton USA. View the full article

Almost exactly 19 years ago, heavy-hearted Scottish indie rockers the Twilight Sad became a Stereogum Band To Watch. All these years later, the Twilight Sad are still going. These days, they’re probably best-known as the permanent opening act for the Cure. Anytime the Cure announce a new tour, you can be pretty sure that the Twilight Sad will join them. Cure frontman Robert Smith is a big Twilight Sad fan and supporter who’s called them his favorite band and who covered their song “There’s A Girl In The Corner” a decade ago. Now, the Twilight Sad are back with their first single in six years, and it features Robert Smith on guitar. View the full article

Here’s something funny: Brian “Geologist” Weitz is the only Animal Collective member who has never released a solo album. Geologist has been plenty busy outside of the main band, especially lately. Earlier this year, Geologist and Doug Shaw, aka D.S., released their collaborative LP A Shaw Deal, so that’s kind of a solo album. Also, Geologist is a member of the psych-rock super-trio Motherfuckers JMB & Co.; their very good full-length Music Excitement Action Beauty came out over the summer. And early next year, Geologist will finally join the ranks of Animal Collective members with solo albums. View the full article
