Pink Floyd have finally announced the release date for the long-delayed reissue of their classic 1977 LP Animals . Animals 2018 Remix will arrive starting Sept. 16, with the Orwellian concept album also receiving its first-ever 5.1 Stereo Sound release. While the reissue doesn’t feature any bonus tracks, it does include a polished-up mix overseen by engineer James Guthrie of the original five-song album on CD, vinyl, Blu-ray, and SACD. As the title suggests, the remix was completed in 2018 and originally intended for release around that time; however, the reissue was delayed as former band mates Roger Waters — who largely penned the album himself, with the exception of “Dogs” — and David Gilmour sparred over liner notes that were intended to accompany the reissue. “These mixes have languished unreleased because of a dispute over some sleeve notes that [journalist] Mark Blake has written for this new release,” Waters said in June 2021. “Gilmour has vetoed the … [Read more...] about Pink Floyd Put Bickering Aside to Finally Announce ‘Animals’ Reissue

A little more than a dozen years ago, Willie Nelson stumbled out of the poker room at his house in Maui in a haze of marijuana smoke to find his then-14-year-old son Micah playing Mario Kart on a Nintendo 64. Micah had just returned from a school trip, and his father greeted him with a huge grin. “Welcome home, Particle Kid !” Willie said. “I thought it was the funniest thing, so I never forgot it,” Micah says. “Years later I asked him about it and he said, ‘I was trying to say “Welcome home, Prodigal Son,” but I was so stoned it came out as ‘Particle Kid.'” By that point, the teenaged Micah had already started recording his own low-fi, dreamscape music – a slow tumble of guitars, far-off vocals, and washes of rhythm and noise – and when he decided to release it, he used the nom de smoke-plume that Willie had given him. The first Particle Kid collections were limited to 200 cassette tapes on the indie label Dome of Doom, and there was no sign they came from the son of Willie … [Read more...] about The Trippy Troubadour: Micah Nelson Explains Why ‘Perfect’ Is Overrated

Fans of Saweetie have been waiting for her debut LP, Pretty Bitch Music , for what feels like a decade. On Wednesday, the rapper addressed why it’s taken her hella long to release her the LP, and reframed the project as more than just music, calling it a “movement.” “These past couple of years have been a growing experience for me as an artist, human, but most importantly as a woman,” she wrote in an emoji-packed statement on her Instagram Story. “I have realized my purpose with the platform God has given me which is why I have taken my time with releasing music this time around.” She added, “Through hours of self-reflection, I have realized that Pretty B.I.T.C.H music is not an album- it’s a movement.
