Mac Miller deep cut that samples the score of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind has been made available for the first time on streaming services. The track, ‘The Quest’, had previously only been shared as a bonus track on the 10th anniversary edition of his second album, ‘Watching Movies With The Sound Off’, first released in 2013. ‘The Quest’ interpolates Jon Brion’s soundtrack for the classic 2004 Michel Gondry film, specifically the instrumental track ‘Phone Call’.

In addition to commemorating the occasion with an expanded, remastered, digital-only re-release featuring ten extra songs from its three-year, 56-song recording process, Wainwright will on June 2 also premiere “Folkocracy,” an anthology of covers produced by Mitchell Froom. It’s a full-circle moment for the singer-songwriter after decades of sidelining his family’s pedigreed genre: though he’s collaborated many times with his folk-singer father Loudon Wainwright III, late mother Kate McGarrigle and aunt Anna McGarrigle, the album marks the first official folk/ Americana recordings of his career.

Who knows what’s next for P.T. Anderson? Given the director’s work rate, it’s safe to expect his follow-up to “Licorice Pizza” won’t head into production for another couple of years at least.

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music CriticThe term “residency” wasn’t always associated with big-bucks Las Vegas bookings designed for pop stars to make a lot of money while staying parked in one place. And in Los Angeles, it’s still not: That’s thanks to Largo, a smallish theater (and formerly an even smaller nightclub) that rotates famous and semi-famous musicians and comedians through its lineup again and again, with the idea that, if you return after a month or four, you’ll usually see a different show.

Emitt Rhodes, a singer whose career began in the 1960s but who became critically acclaimed in the 1970s as a solo artist for his Paul McCartney looks and power pop stylings, died in his sleep on July 19, according to friend and record producer Chris Price.
