Happy birthday, Serge Gainsbourg! In 1988, French children’s choir, Les Petits Chanteurs d’Asnières pay tribute to a very emotional Serge Gainsbourg with his song “Je suis venu te dire que je m’en vais,” live on TV.
Millennials who are very cavalier about not having massive vinyl collections in multiple Kallax shelves are in for a shock when they enter their 40s & realize life is only half over. What do you do at that point? Keep trying to be sexy & have fun? I expect to see a lot of sadness
We are absolutely devastated to learn of the passing Yukihiro Takahashi, the incredible drummer behind Yellow Magic Orchestra with a brilliant catalog of solo material as well. Our hearts are with his friends and family at this time. YMO FOREVER.
Happy 80th birthday to Barbara Lynn, one of the world’s greatest guitar slingers, singers and humans. Born on this day in 1942!

Thinking about this clip of Warren Zevon from a Dutch documentary called “Wonderland” from 1977 where he goes to Burrito King in Echo Park and orders machaca burritos.
There are no words. It’s impossible to overstate the impact that Ryuichi Sakamoto has had on the world of music, film, and shaped the way we hear the world.
Thank you for everything
Everyone complaining about a band being in a Taco Bell commercial isn't old enough to remember when Scion was putting on powerviolence and grind shows in 2010
Happy 80th birthday to the one and only

Struggling to find the words... Sixto Rodriguez just passed away. Like countless others, you changed our lives in so many ways. Shaped us into better, more caring people. Made us dream bigger. The world was instantly more grandiose and magical when you entered the room.
We’re incredibly sad to hear that ROKY ERICKSON passed away. The man melted our minds on countless occasions as the original godfather of psychedelia, and still someone the world hasn’t quite caught up to. Roky, thank you for making life a lot more interesting, strange & honest.
We're beyond proud to present a comprehensive archival series of Haruomi Hosono’s key albums from throughout his solo career. These highly influential and sought-after albums have never been reissued outside of Japan, until now:
The only known footage of Betty Davis performing live. This short excerpt is from Betty performing at the Riviera Festival Jazz-Rock, which took place at the Paul Ricard Race Track Circuit in Le Castellet in the South of France on July 25th, 1976.
What is the modern-day equivalent of listening to "A-Punk" every time you plug your iPod into your car, only because it's the first song in the alphabet?
ALL VINYL RECORDS ARE MADE OF PVC, WHICH IS NATURALLY COLORLESS. TO TURN THIS CLEAR MATERIAL INTO A SOLID COLOR TITANIUM DIOXIDE AND OTHER ADDITIVES ARE MIXED IN. TO MAKE THE STANDARD BLACK VINYL COLOR, BLACK CARBON IS OFTEN ADDED, WHICH STRENGTHENS THE PVC MIX.
Happy Birthday to the one and only Townes Van Zandt, born on this day in Fort Worth, Texas in 1944. He would've been 77! One of the greatest songwriters of all time, HBD to TVZ.
At 4:40 a.m. EST on February 9, 2022, visionary singer, songwriter, producer, and fashion icon Betty Mabry Davis began her eternal rest. Our hearts are incredibly heavy today.
We're over the moon to finally share the news that we've teamed up with
@NancySinatra
to bring restored and remastered recordings of her classic material to the world! We're kicking things off with a new collection, Nancy Sinatra: Start Walkin’ 1965-1976.
RIP to the great Bill Rieflin. An absolute legend of Seattle music and drummer for The Telepaths, REM, King Crimson, Ministry and so much more. Thank you for everything, Bill
The Batman star Robert Pattinson has explained he had to keep his costume on for long stretches during downtime – which meant he did everything from reading to making 'ambient electronic music' in the Batsuit.
I think it’s time for a critical re-evaluation of CAKE. Deeply weird songwriting, an absolute shredder playing guitar, and a surprising pop sensibility. They also take an intermission when they play a show and I like that
