AFTER A RECORD-BREAKING '24, LIVE NATION PREPARES TO DO IT AGAIN IN '25
ERNIE ISLEY AND VERNON REID: A GUITAR HERO SUMMIT
Selena Gomez, benny blanco, Gracie Abrams, "Call Me When You Break Up"
This winsome pop ditty gets an adorably lo-fi treatment, proving that true stars require little more than a phone to create something memorable. The first Selena/benny album, I Said I Love You First, is due on 3/21 and available for pre-order now.
Death, "Keep on Knocking"
This sibling trio of proto-punk trailblazers from Detroit recorded "Knocking" in the mid-'70s, and it's clear they were way ahead of the curve. Though the brothers Hackney didn't get their due back then, they were discovered decades later, partly thanks to some Drag City reissues and the 2012 documentary flick A Band Called Death. The joyous rendition featured here was captured at L.A.'s beloved Amoeba record emporium in 2013. Death's story appears in our new Black History Month special.
