Former Girls singer/guitarist Christopher Owens is back with his first new music in seven years. Set against a shimmering mix of acoustic and electric guitars, “I Think About Heaven” is sunny and optimistic, with Owens singing “I think about heaven and I smile / Things don’t seem so bad.” He was born and raised into a devout Christian family and that has colored his songwriting from the beginning but is front and center here. It’s a very immediately likable song, all six minutes of it, and you can listen below.

Often when we say, “You’ll never guess the plot twist behind this movie, television series, or book,” we’re exaggerating a bit. Some viewers will indeed figure out the plot twist in a movie, tv series, or book, while others won’t, but plot twists can usually be figured out with enough investigation and discernment of the red herrings and clues. Behind Her Eyes is a limited television series based on a popular 2017 novel that starts out with a typical enough psychological thriller plotline, and it has a plot twist no one would ever guess even based on the information given. A psychiatrist husband, David (played by Tom Bateman), starts engaging in an affair with a co-worker (a single mother, Louise, played by Simona Brown) he met at a local bar prior to either of them knowing they would be working together. However, things get a bit more sinister and twisted when Louise starts developing a strange friendship and obsession with his wife, Adele (Eve Hewson), who seems to be holding back dark secrets about the nature of her marriage to David. As Louise begins to investigate, she becomes enmeshed in a complicated love triangle that unravels secrets no one would ever suspect. If you don’t wish to be spoiled, start watching the limited television series now, as it is still available on Netflix.

Weezer followed their most recent LP, 2021’s Van Weezer, with a series of four seasonal EPs, SZNZ: Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter, in 2022. They were planning to give the series a box set release, which they announced on the first anniversary of Spring in March of 2023, but the updates stop there. The band’s assistant and “unofficial fifth member” Karl Koch has now revealed that the box set isn’t happening. In a post on the Weezerpedia Discord server, he wrote, “ok official word: i just learned the SZNZ box was in fact cancelled, im sorry to confirm. Apparently high cost vs. not expecting enough sales to make it work. Feels kinda like the Broadway cancel thing… just letting SZNS be ‘as is’, and enjoy.”

Ominore, the eight-part AppleTV+ food documentary series, dropped all eight episodes of its first season on July 19. Created by chef René Redzepi of Copenhagen restaurant Noma and food writer Matt Goulding, the series focuses on a single ingredient for each of its episodes, including chiles, rice, salt, corn and more. It’s as gorgeous to look at as Noma’s food (Redzepi also narrates), shot around the world, and sounds good too. Adrian Younge & Ali Shaheed Muhammad (A Tribe Called Quest), who together run Jazz is Dead, composed the main theme, and each episode features a score by a different composer.
