Neil Young has seen the Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown and “he loved it.” The legendary songwriter shared his review of the James Mangold-helmed film on Neil Young Archives, writing: “I love Bob Dylan and his music. Always have. He’s a great artist. Once he was on my bus and I didn’t recognize him

Get ready for a double dose of Timothée Chalamet, who will pull double duty as the host and musical guest on the Jan. 25 episode of NBC’s Saturday Night Live. The actor is ostensibly promoting his role as Bob Dylan in the hit film A Complete Unknown, although the network did not specify whether he’d

Though Trent Reznor helped bring industrial rock to the mainstream as the frontman of Nine Inch Nails, he has revealed himself to be a pop fan in recent years. During a red carpet interview at the Golden Globes, he continued that trend while naming his favorite song of 2024. This past weekend, Reznor caught an

Better Man, chronicling the warts-and-all rise-and-fall — and rise again — career of UK pop phenom and self-described self-loather Robbie Williams is unlike any other biopic. While Williams, now 50, narrates the story, he is portrayed by actor Jonno Davies as a chimpanzee. Better Man is directed by Michael Gracey (The Greatest Showman), and if it

[Editor’s note: The following contains spoilers for Abbott Elementary, Season 4 Episode 9, “Volunteers,” streaming on Hulu.] The TV crossover is one of television’s most fascinating and funny traditions.

Dan Bejar’s prolific Destroyer project returns March 28 with its 14th album, Dan’s Boogie (Merge), which is led by the single “Bologna.” Bejar stars in its accompanying David Galloway–directed video, which also features Fiver’s Simone Schmidt. “I haven’t written many songs like ‘Bologna,’” says Bejar. “I struggled singing the first and third verses — the

Update: After briefly being taken down, The West Wing will return to Max beginning Wednesday, January 8th. Per Deadline, higher-ups at Warner Bros. Discovery were not consulted on the decision to pull the iconic series, which ultimately led to its reversal. Our original story follows.

Tom Petty once said, “Nothing scares corporate radio like public radio.” Independent radio keeps the dream of free airwaves alive. This new recurring feature shines a spotlight on these stations, starting with the one that inspired Petty’s quote, Los Angeles’ 88.5, the SoCal Sound. “‘Lifeboat’ is such a good descriptor of public media, and specifically

Aubrey Plaza has shared her first statement on the death of her husband, filmmaker Jeff Baena. “This is an unimaginable tragedy.

Nine Inch Nails leader Trent Reznor and longtime musical partner Atticus Ross won the Golden Globe for Best Original Score last night (Jan. 5) for Challengers, the love triangle film starring Zendaya. It was the pair’s third Golden Globe win in the category, following victories for The Social Network in 2011 and Soul in 2021.

Joe Satriani is known for his virtuoso skills on guitar, so any praise he heaps on another guitarist is worth its weight in gold. In a recent interview, Satriani commended Kurt Cobain, calling the late Nirvana frontman a “great guitar player.” “I was very happy with those Nirvana records,” Satriani told Classic Rock. “He was

Beloved soul vocalist and songwriter Brenton Wood died today (Jan. 3) at his home in Moreno Valley, Ca., his manager Manny Gallegos confirmed to Variety.

Jack Nicholson may still be a household name, but his public appearances are becoming more and more rare. Now less of an on-the-town movie star and more of a “I’d rather sit under a tree and read a book than act” retiree, it’s been two years since he has been photographed — a streak broken

Live music continues to captivate audiences around the world, and the industry is showing no signs of slowing down. With demand for unforgettable live performances higher than ever, key players like ASAP Sound and Nerdmatics are stepping up to meet the challenge.

It’s the end of an era for an Albuquerque, New Mexico family and a big moment for Breaking Bad fans, as the owners of “Walter White’s house” are now selling their home, which appeared in all five seasons of the acclaimed AMC drama. All it’ll cost you is $4 million. Local station KOB4 spoke with

Neil Young has bailed out of a major summer 2025 festival before his presence on the bill was even announced. In a letter on his Neil Young Archives site, the rock legend announced he and his band the Chrome Hearts were “looking forward” to playing the U.K.’s beloved Glastonbury Festival but have now opted out.

Very few artists commit to the bit the way “Weird Al” Yankovic does. The musician and comedian has spent decades carving out a place for himself within the music industry, putting his own spin on familiar tunes along the way, prompting some devoted fans to wonder if his work would warrant consideration for the Rock

I remember when Tracy Chapman’s “Fast Car” was released in April of ’88, a striking introduction from a powerful and heart-rending new voice in music. “Fast Car” simply and beautifully relays the persuasive, hopeful desire to escape; the singer wants a “ticket to anywhere” and has “nothing to lose” or “prove.” Chapman has never confirmed

One of the most delightfully strange movies from the 2024 Sundance Film Festival is about to make its theatrical debut this January. And the first trailer for Love Me, a millennia-spanning romance starring Kristen Stewart and Steven Yeun, captures a portion of that delightful strangeness. Love Me begins well after the extinction of humanity, when

A lot of changes made for a pretty great year.  My January promotion to Executive Editor meant leading online site editorial. Aside from some input by our Acting Editor-in-Chief, SPIN Founder Bob Guccione Jr., I managed the editorial staff, the stories, and the overall site strategy. So it was a big year for me. One

Nandi Bushell put her drum skills to the test, recreating Karen Carpenter’s legendary cover of “Dancing in the Street” that was recorded during a 1960s television appearance. The original clip saw a young Karen Carpenter — just a few years older than Bushell is now — performing as part of a trio during a studio-audience talk show.

In late-1992, not long after Jane’s Addiction broke up, Jane’s bassist Eric Avery and guitarist Dave Navarro formed the one-off musical project Deconstruction. In 1994, they released their only album, Deconstruction. Musically, Deconstruction was so left-field that it felt fresh and out of step with the so-called ’90s Alternative Era. For many of us ’90s kids, Jane’s Addiction

Jason Momoa spent years portraying Aquaman in the pre-James Gunn DC cinematic universe, and it now looks like Gunn and company will bring him along as they attempt to restart the franchise — albeit as a different character. As confirmed by Deadline, Momoa will play the role of Lobo in the upcoming film Supergirl: Woman

In the January 1991 issue of SPIN, interviewing Perry Farrell, who we had crowned Artist of the Year for 1990 because he created Lollapalooza and broke up Jane’s Addiction, two excellent decisions, I wrote these words: Every American generation finds its own way to be creative. Whether it’s music, art, bad television, fast food, or

A devout Christian, a progressive southerner, and a fervent disciple of rock and roll, Jimmy Carter assembled one of the strangest voting coalitions in American history and brought a new kind of swagger to the White House. His death at the age of 100 will be mourned by many, and whatever you think of his

In 1961, 19-year-old Robert Allen Zimmerman dropped out of college in his native Minnesota, made a pilgrimage to New York City to meet his folk music idol Woody Guthrie, and decided to become, in his own words, “Guthrie’s greatest disciple.” Performing in Greenwich Village as Bob Dylan and then signing to Columbia Records, he achieved
