A couple years back we published a We've Got A File On You interview with Dale Crover from Melvins, occasioned by his solo album Glossolalia . This allowed us to ask Crover about the time he starred as a young Neil Young in the 1992 "Harvest Moon" video. Here's what he told us:

An asteroid has been officially named after the late, great Elliott Smith. Orlando Campopiano, an independent filmmaker based in Edinburgh, worked with Smith's estate to submit a proposal to the International Astronomical Union, and the governing body opted to say yes. Now there's a big rock out there in the sky bearing Smith's name. Here's how Campopiano explains it in a statement to Stereogum:

As heard on their new track out today, the Raleigh post-punk band RIBS are like a harder, meaner, spacier Hold Steady, mixing classic rock riffs with Mike Wallace’s spoken and shouted narration. After a long and accomplished tenure as a live act, RIBS released their debut album Junk Dynasty Leaderboard last year. They’re putting out…

In the years since the Walt Disney Company acquired 21st Century Fox in 2019, The Simpsons has been streaming on Disney+, including some new episodes exclusive to the platform.

Outlaw country legend Blaze Foley — a guy who not only lived that life but died that death, shot by the son of his friend Concho January at age 39 — is the subject of a new tribute album.

Last fall the 1975's Matty Healy posted footage of himself covering James Taylor's "Carolina In My Mind" with Tiny Habits, the Boston folk-pop group. They may well have been together working on "Anything He Was," the lead single from Tiny Habits' new album.

Since Saturday night, seemingly the whole of New York City has been heartily enjoying the Knicks’ first NBA championship since 1973.

It was an incredible show, but the bracing quality of the band's performance left Robinson feeling bummed. If these kids are this young and are already that good, he reasoned, what hope is there for a guy starting fresh in his forties? “It's over for me,” he remembers thinking to himself.

They're so loose because they're so tight. When Geese take the stage, they don't re-create their recordings. It barely even feels like they're performing songs with a defined structure — more like summoning a familiar sequence of chords and lyrics from the ether, whipping around riffs and fills like a marionette's appendages.
