AC/DC Releasing Catalog on Streaming Ser...

AC/DC have been famously hesitant to release their music digitally. Their albums came to iTunes in 2012—almost a full decade after the store launched. Now, their records are finally coming to streaming services starting tomorrow, The New York Times reports. According to the Times‘ sources, AC/DC will make their records available on Apple Music, Spotify, and Rdio starting tomorrow. AC/DC are one of the last big tent rock bands to abstain from making their albums available to stream. Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd took the leap in 2013. Here’s their “Back in...

Puff Daddy and the Family Team with Phar...

Diddy’s last full-length was 2010′s Last Train To Paris—a collaboration with his group Dirty Money. He announced the return of the Puff Daddy name last...

Young Thug: "Hey I"

In its subtlety, Barter VI toyed with expectations: neither imperial pop nor an electrifying experiment, the tape was modest, composed. Some even suggested these were throwaways, spare records that would have been left to the cutting room floor in healthier times. Yet shortly after its release, more than a hundred songs leaked from—well, “vault” seems like the wrong word—and spilled onto the internet. Now it was obvious: Barter VI was deliberately carved from an especially prolific creative phase. Among the post-Barter VI detritus, “Hey I” stands...

The Avalanches’ Darren Seltmann Ha...

The Avalanches are still at work on the follow-up to 2000′s Since I Left You. They’ve undergone another lineup change as founding member Darren Seltmann is no longer with the group, as Consequence of Sound points out. Back in February 2014, Seltmann’s wife, singer-songwriter Sally Seltmann, told Melbourne’s Herald Sun that he’d left the Avalanches. The news was confirmed by the band’s label, Modular, who said: “Yep, Darren hasn’t been in the band for a while, so officially the band is Robbie Chater and Tony Di Blasi right...
