Johnny Borrell has formed a new band, Jealous Nostril.The Razorlight frontman has recruited Mystery Jets’ Jack Flanagan and ElliS D for his latest venture, with Borrell explaining of the new band name: “Jealous Nostril, a binary system… One is fulfilled, the other isn’t.”Asked in an accompanying press statement if the name is a drug reference, Borrell replied: “The half of my north London friends who still party hear it as cocaine, and the half who have been through rehab ask me if it’s referencing Pranayama yoga breathing.“We’re definitely neither a coke or a yoga band! I actually think I just wanted a name that would help people under-estimate the band.”Jealous Nostril have released their debut single ‘Phase 6’ today (September 29), which was recorded in a single afternoon at Eastcote Studios in London.“I just think it is that simple: bands should sound like bands. Most don’t these days,” Borrell said of the single.“When it comes to the process of getting the songs down, we’re pretty much more Jack White than Jack White.

Neil Young has interrupted an interview between Jack White and Rick Rubin, during the most recent episode of Rubin’s Broken Record podcast.White and Rubin were well into their 1.5 hour-long interview when Young — who’d been recording new music in the same Malibu studio — gatecrashed the proceedings and joined in on the pair’s conversation. White commended Young’s ability to maintain a decades-long career in the music industry and likened the singer to The Rolling Stones.“I remember when I was 12 and The Rolling Stones were 40 and everyone was like, ‘Oh my god,’ and it’s so nice that you guys are able to sort of prove that,” White said.

Mykki Blanco has released the latest single from their upcoming album, ‘Stay Close To Music’, a track called ‘Pink Diamond Bezel’.“I am always hoping to create a new alchemy for my sound and for my entire career I have been experimenting with how far I can push rap – from the production to the musical choices to the inspirations”, says Blanco. “Much of my new album and last year’s ‘Broken Hearts & Beautysleep’ is a departure from anything I had done in the past and I hadn’t really made a hip-hop track in years when I wrote ‘Pink Diamond Bezel.’ The song feels as if it’s the love child of Pharrell Williams and The Neptunes as much as Jack White”.“When I think about the vibe of ‘Pink Diamond Bezel’ I imagine a stretch limousine riding through snow-capped mountains, drinking Kahula and cream with a group of friends in cashmere sweaters, very après-ski, then out of nowhere a shaman appears in the middle of the road, the car halts – a spell is cast, the road catches fire, and we’re forced to kneel in supplication to the forces of nature”, they go on.

In it, Martha, who is that universe’s Joker, asks a character called Psycho-Pirate to reveal everything he knows about the DC universe, including the original Joker’s true name.White has called the Joker’s real name reveal as more than a “coincidence” since he had drawn inspiration from the character.“An interesting note; during the process of putting together the artwork for my album ‘Fear of the Dawn’ last year, I asked artist Rob Jones to communicate with the amazing DC comic artist Mikel Janin to see if he would be interested in a commission: illustrating me in the range of the style that he draws his version of The Joker for DC comics,” white said via Instagram.White added: “Bizarre patterns and coincidences emerge in the universe that we only see glimpses of at times, some meaningful, some meaningless.

Grant County deputies believe mass shooting avoided at Gorge AmphitheaterNear GEORGE, Wash. (20AUG2022) — Grant…Posted by Grant County Sheriff's Office on Saturday, August 20, 2022Last week, this year’s edition of Musikfest – an annual 11-day music festival held in the Leigh Valley town of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania – was temporarily shut down after a shooting incident.As reported by local paper The Morning Call, police attended the scene shortly before 11pm on Saturday (August 13) after a single gunshot was reported to be heard between Main Street and Lehigh Street.It’s unclear how many people were involved in the shooting.

Jack White has shared some thoughts on Snoop Dogg and Master P‘s new breakfast cereal, ‘Snoop Loopz’.Made by the rappers’ company Broadus Foods, ‘Snoop Loopz’ is a gluten-free multigrain cereal that contains “more corn, more flavour and more marshmallows”.Broadus Foods are also donating a portion of profits from sales of their products to charity, including the homelessness organisation Door Of Hope.White shared an Instagram post yesterday (August 16) about ‘Snoop Loopz’ in which he congratulated Snoop “on his new cereal release, and a pat on the back for its charitable benefits that it will be producing, nice one”.“But,” he added, “I do have a couple of important questions about the box that the cereal is delivered to customers in.“In the press release from Broadus Foods, the photo of the cereal box contains the words ‘MORE MARSHMALLOWS’. More than what? If this is in fact a brand new cereal, it can’t be more marshmallows than ‘before’.A post shared by Jack White (@officialjackwhite)“Is it a statement that this cereal has more marshmallows than say… a bag of sand, or a typical Caesar salad? Or, is it a DEMAND from Snoop Dogg himself that we just have more marshmallows in this world in general? That last theory is my hope.“Lastly, the photograph on Master P’s Instagram shows a DIFFERENT phrase, an un-plural ‘MORE MARSHMALLOW’ without the ‘S’.”White concluded his post: “Photo attached, answers demanded.” Snoop has yet to respond to White’s questions.Earlier this week, Snoop was pictured in the studio with Eminem and Dr.

which prompted the recent cancellation of the Atlanta festival Music Midtown, has now said that he wishes to “challenge” the live music promoter’s firearms ban inside its Georgia venues.The annual festival, which had been due to welcome the likes of My Chemical Romance, Jack White and Future from September 17-18, cancelled its 2022 edition earlier this month “due to circumstances beyond our control”.Billboard subsequently reported that recent changes to Georgia’s gun laws, which prevented Music Midtown’s owner Live Nation from banning festivalgoers from bringing guns on to the publicly owned festival grounds at Piedmont Park, were “the likely cause” for the cancellation.In a new interview with Billboard, Georgia IT worker, author and vocal gun rights activist Phillip Evans recalled how, in the weeks before the cancellation, he warned a contractor hired to handle security at Music Midtown that “should any member of your security team accost a legal carrier of weapons … [then] your company (and any involved individual) could be sued for damages”.“I urge you to honour and follow our state weapons law here in Georgia,” he added.A post shared by Music Midtown (@musicmidtown)Evans has now told Billboard that he never pushed for Music Midtown’s cancellation, and that he didn’t expect Live Nation to pull the plug on the event.“There’s nothing in my blog, in my opinion, that indicates I celebrated the decision,” he added. “I would’ve actually been thrilled had Live Nation gone ahead and had the event and said that they were following state law.”Describing himself as a “hardcore music fan” who “loves all kind of music from all eras”, Evans says that he wants Live Nation to “abide by a law”.

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music CriticAfter titling his last album “Fear of the Dawn,” Jack White now goes gentle into that good morning with “Entering Heaven Alive,” a follow-up being released all of 15 weeks later. You’d be hard-pressed to come up with two records so wildly different: “Heaven” is as graceful as its predecessor was gonzo. The fact that he recorded both in the same fertile burst of energy, and originally even planned to release it all as one (presumably double) album, seems incalculable.

Alison Mosshart has spoken about the possibility of The Dead Weather making a comeback in the future.The US supergroup – which also features Jack White, Dean Fertita (Queens Of The Stone Age) and Jack Lawrence (The Raconteurs) – released their debut album ‘Horehound’ back in 2009.They’ve since dropped two more full-length records – ‘Sea Of Cowards’ (2010) and ‘Dodge And Burn’ (2015) – in between the members’ other respective projects, including Mosshart’s band The Kills.During a recent interview with Consequence Of Sound, Mosshart was asked if a Dead Weather reunion could be on the cards. “Your guess is as good as mine,” she replied.“The band was a happy accident. We walked into Jack’s new recording studio at the time to test out the room and the gear, and walked out with a whole record in the blink of an eye.

Jay-Z has opened up on appearing on other people’s songs, saying he “never” charges to lay down guest verses.The rapper was speaking to Kevin Hart for an episode of Hart’s new show Hart To Heart, which debuted on Peacock this week.“It’s mostly relationships,” Jay said of his approach to appear in guest form on others’ records. “It’s actually always been mostly relationships. Sometimes it’s talent and sometimes someone asks me to be on something.“Pretty much every song that I’m on I’m asked to be on.
