It’s been a pretty rocky year for German industrial metal outfit Rammstein. Allegations leveled against frontman Till Lindemann regarding his allegedly predatory and abusive behavior towards women has apparently been a hard thing to shake. And even though it was investigated by German prosecutors and eventually dropped, Rammstein still felt the need to address it in a newly posted note on social media.

Kesha has revealed that she had a sharp realization about a butcher knife during her 2024 Lollapalooza set. Following her Thursday night set at the Chicago music festival, the pop star claimed that a knife she brandished on stage during a performance of her 2010 Animal album cut "Backstabber" was not a prop, but an actual utensil that was swapped out without her knowledge.

Many have been talking about how long it’s been since Adrianne Lenker released her album Bright Future back in March of 2024—which is, in fact, this very year. The streets have been abuzz. After the lengthy hiatus, the clearly not-that-prolific songwriter—who famously fronts a band that’s been known to tour a brand-new double album with setlists mostly made up of unreleased tracks—has returned with another cut from that session, the lovely “Once a Bunch.” Also, this stuff about her being not prolific is a joke! Between her solo music and Big Thief, we have endless bounties from Lenker Corp.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

Around this time last year, we checked in with New Orleans–based duo Video Age who were accidentally expressing every single emotion they’ve ever felt on a single song titled “Is It Really Over?” The track would later materialize on their LP Away From the Castle, which will be celebrating its one-year anniversary at the end of October. As a premature celebration of its birthday, the band’s Ross Farbe recently reinterpreted the record’s title track as a duet with alt-country songwriter Esther Rose rather than bandmate Ray Micarelli at a gig in Nashville.

Till now. So watch that again.”

In 2022, cliffdiver (back then stylized in all caps, these days in all lowercase) released their debut album Exercise Your Demons. It was a profound piece of work that paid tribute to the various styles of emo that had influenced the band, while also providing an intimate look into the mental health of its two vocalists, Briana Wright and Joey Duffy, and their constant struggle with the will to stay alive—which is where the exercise/exorcise pun originated. Two years on, second album birdwatching is on the horizon, and finds the Tulsa six-piece honing their sound while confronting those very same demons from a much more (if not wholly) positive angle.
