Actor Van Johnson, who died in 2007, was one of Hollywood's ideal films idols. In the 1940s, the charming screen icon was box office gold, and remained a popular presence on TV in shows like Murder, She Wrote (which starred his good friend Angela Lansbury).

With William Gibson’s Neuromancer celebrating its 40th anniversary this year, Room 40 is releasing the first proper edition of Black Rain’s soundtrack for the audiobook version from 30 years ago. These recordings are legendary in certain circles but have remained largely unavailable until now. The duo captures the intricacies in the grit and texture of the text, fusing thick sonic atmospheres with gossamer resonance. Drones glean timbral shapes from broken light, fully grounded even while reaching for the midnight sky. Within spacious echoes, darkness grows around disembodied voices from a hollow, electronic core. Black Rain captures the spirit of Neuromancer, the combination of mystery and anxiety; of hopefulness cut by unease.

A unique twist on a really cool song.

Today, Chris Stapleton released a new music video for "Think I’m In Love With You," which was included on his 2023 Higher album.

A solo write by Chris, the song definitely leans into the funkier, more soulful sensibilities you'll hear sprinkled into so much of the Kentucky native's music, and is simply a sweet love song that of course shows off his incredible vocals.

The video was directed by Running Bear, choreographed by JaQuel Knight and produced by Strange Arcade, and stars actor Andre Royo (The Wire, Empire, etc.). It flashes through a man's life...

They influence how we perceive the world around us, how we interact with others, and how we make decisions. However, our emotions are not the only factor that influences our behavior. Astrology can be a telling factor as well.

Foals frontman Yannis Philippakis just released Lagos Paris London, his EP as Yannis & The Yaw which is a collaboration with the late afrobeat legend Tony Allen. The EP is a nice combination of Foals’ funkier side along with overt afrobeat touches, all powered by one of the greatest, most distinctive drummers of the last 50 years. You can listen to the whole thing, and watch the lyric video for EP standout “Clementine,” below.

The roots of the intriguing quintet of tracks that make up Lagos Paris London date back to 2016, when Foals frontman Yannis Philippakis met legendary Nigerian drummer Tony Allen. The two became friends, and sessions ensued in a Parisian studio not only with Allen but with his band – percussionist Vincent Taeger, keyboard player Vincent Taurelle and bassist/guitarist Ludovic Bruni. Left unfinished when lockdown arrived, the sessions were brought to a tragic full stop in the form of Allen’s passing in April 2020. Philippakis resolved to finish the work, and the result was a cohesive EP looking far beyond the Afrobeat record Yannis originally expected. So inspiring was the collaboration that Yannis & The Yaw was established as a permanent concern, where…
