With her new album, 'Daddy’s Home,' Annie Clark finally comes to terms with her father’s white-collar prison experience — all thanks to the healing power of Seventies rock. She found the album’s sound while working with producer Jack Antonoff in New York before the pandemic began. “I was walking down the hall at Electric Lady Studios with Jack,” she recalls, “and I was like, ‘I want to make this down-and-out, downtown kind of record.’” Tap the link in bio to read more.

Alanis Morissette has dropped a demo version of her song “Predator,” originally written for the Broadway musical 'Jagged Little Pill.' In the show and on the original cast soundtrack “Predator” is performed by Kathryn Gallagher and the ensemble cast, with lyrics written by Morissette and music written by Morissette and Michael Farrell. In her stripped-down demo version, Morissette highlights the song’s vulnerability against a piano track: “My goodness is commendable but won’t pull your heartstrings/This magnet for predators is dying to be discerning.” Tap the link in bio to listen.

At first, it was $2,000. That was the message throughout the Georgia runoffs, which Democrats carried in a shocking double victory on the back of a nationwide PR blitz, flooding airwaves with promises that a newly-blue Senate could end Mitch McConnell’s half-decade of tyranny. Then, the number shrunk: $2,000 was actually $1,400, because Trump had already given us $600. The messaging changed before our eyes: In one tweet, dated January 12th, Vice President-elect Kamala Harris called for “$2,000 stimulus checks.” In another, dated January 14th, she quoted President-elect Joe Biden promising to “finish the job of getting a total of $2,000.” This wasn’t a broken promise at all, Biden press secretary Jen Psaki claimed, implying that it wasn’t their fault if you were too stupid to work that one out. Now, that number is shrinking even further. On Wednesday, Biden agreed to further narrow the eligibility for stimulus payments under the coronavirus relief bill that has been bouncing around the House and Senate bureaucracies since before he took office. This bill is meant to be the foundation of Biden’s plan to “Build Back Better,” whatever that means, but the messaging from the White House is clear: Some of you won’t make the cut.

Biggie Smalls’ story is one that’s been told, retold, and repackaged as a part of our cultural imagination, a straight line from “Big Poppa” to beefing with Tupac to his eventual murder in 1997. The flattened narrative of East Coast versus West Coast rap has served, mostly, to obscure the man Biggie was. Throughout 'Biggie: I Got a Story to Tell,' Smalls' longtime friend Damion “D-Roc” Butler's trusty camcorder offers a much-needed corrective. Directed by Emmett Malloy, the film spends almost no time on his most iconic moments, opting instead to offer screentime to the more humanizing elements of his life.

Bunny Wailer, a founding member of the Wailers and a reggae music giant whose career spanned seven decades, has died at the age of 73. Wailer’s manager, Maxine Stowe, confirmed that Wailer died on Tuesday at the Medical Associates Hospital in Kingston, Jamaica (via the Jamaica Observer). No cause of death was given, but Wailer had been in and out of the hospital since suffering his second stroke, in 2020. A representative for the musician did not immediately respond to Rolling Stone‘s request for comment. Wailer, born Neville Livingstone — before adopting his famous moniker, he was also known as Bunny Livingstone — was a member of the original Wailers trio with Bob Marley and Peter Tosh.

Dr. Seuss Enterprises, which oversees the work of the late children’s book author, said it will stop publishing and licensing six books because they contain racist and insensitive images. The decision was announced on the official Dr. Seuss website Tuesday, March 2nd, which also marks the author’s birthday. The six books are 'And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street,' 'If I Ran the Zoo,' 'McElligot’s Pool,' 'On Beyond Zebra!,' 'Scrambled Eggs Super!,' and 'The Cat’s Quizzer.' Dr. Seuss Enterprises said it came to this decision last year after reviewing its catalog with the help of a panel of experts, including educators. “These books portray people in ways that are hurtful and wrong,” the statement reads. “Ceasing sales of these books is only part of our commitment and our broader plan to ensure Dr. Seuss Enterprises’ catalog represents and supports all communities and families.” Tap the link in bio to read more.
