Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit were the soundtrack to Jimmy Kimmel Live’s first show back since the writers strike on Monday night. Isbell performed “When We Were Close” off his latest release, Weathervanes.
Backed by a reconstituted 400 Unit — Anna Butterss on bass, while Jimbo Hart takes some time off; and Will Johnson on guitar, handling Sadler Vaden’s parts — Isbell delivered the raw, emotional rocker about a friendship that turned complicated. Though never overtly revealed, “When We Were Close” is about Isbell’s relationship with Justin Townes Earle, who...

Electro-pop singer Mndr has released a new song, “Hell to Be You Baby,” the title track from her next album, set to arrive June 18th via Wondersound Records.
Co-produced by Mark Ronson, “Hell to Be You Baby” boasts a distinct early Nineties dance feel. A restless drum groove, gritty synths, and a big house piano anchor the tune, while still allowing it to expand into headier spaces.
“Hell to Be You Baby” arrives with a music video, directed by Mndr and L.A.-based producers Glow in the Dirt. In it,...

Lawrence Rothman whips up a seething garage-rock song in “Sunny Place for Shady People” with help from the Philadelphia blues musician Son Little.
Inspired by the nightmare miasma of Donald Trump’s leadership — and particularly of being a gender-fluid person through that stretch of time — “Sunny Place for Shady People” sets the stage with reverb-drenched electric guitars and eerie, wordless harmonies. The drums feel almost too fast, a tambourine-assisted go-go rhythm speeding toward the cliff, which, come to think of it, is actually a pretty sharp metaphor for the period still looming in the rearview.

Los Angeles singer-songwriter Lawrence Rothman has teamed up with Lucinda Williams for a new song, “Decent Man.” The track will be featured on Rothman’s upcoming sophomore album, out January 29th, 2021, via Kro Records.
Over a video of giant decaying busts of the U.S. presidents, Rothman and Williams sing of a country in despair and ruin. “The New York Times says the country’s gone up for sale,” Rothman muses, while Williams observes on the chorus, “We’re just a lifeless empty Midwest mall, the aftermath of a hot head playing god.

Floria Sigismondi, "The Runaways" helmer, said she would love to direct Lady GaGa's music video. The female director confirmed her interest to MTV on the red carpet of the film's New York premiere on March 17 at the Landmark Sunshine Cinema.
"She'd be fun. She's quite theatrical," Floria said. "I don't know, but I kind of grew up with costumes all my life, so I would go in there and do something kind of surreal maybe."
Floria Sigismondi hit the Wednesday red carpet event along with actresses Dakota Fanning and Kristen Stewart as well as The Runaways' real members Joan Jett and Cherie Currie. The film arrives in limited U.S. theaters on March 19 before opening wide on April 9.
Although "The Runaways" is her directorial debut, Floria actually has directed a bunch of music videos, ranging from Marilyn Manson's "Beautiful People" to The White Stripes' "Blue Orchid...

Today marks the opening of "The Runaways," a biopic about the seminal all-female rock band starring Kristen Stewart as Joan Jett and Dakota Fanning as Cherie Currie. The reviews are already pretty positive, which is good for the stars, the band members and especially director Floria Sigismondi.
"The Runaways" represents the feature film debut for Sigismondi, though as any fan of freaky music videos can attest, she's no stranger to rock-fueled images. She has spent the better part of the last 15 years crafting rich, intricate and slightly disturbing clips for an eclectic batch of artists like Marilyn Manson, Christina Aguilera, Interpol, Incubus and Sheryl Crow. She's crafted dozens of clips, but here are her 10 best.
Christina Aguilera, "Fighter"
Sigismondi takes Aguilera's rugged track from Stripped and matches it with a faux-industrial setting where the singer's metamorphosis can occur. It's a perfect example of Sigismondi's aesthetic: Dusty but modern, populist but arty.

Dakota Fanning prepared to play The Runaways' Cherie Currie by fronting Los Angeles band the Living Things. The teenage actress admits she was terrified about the idea of singing live in biopic "The Runaways", and so director Floria Sigismondi suggested she rehearse with her husband Lillian Berlin's band.
Fanning says, "Even the thought of singing karaoke has always terrified me, and I had never felt the power of a band behind me." The "I Am Sam" star grew so confident as the Living Things' stand-in singer she even invited members of her family to drop by the studio to see her perform.
And Currie was immediately impressed when she first saw the actress in action. As a token of respect Currie gave Fanning a David Bowie belt she made herself when she was 15 - the actress wears the belt as Currie in the film, which hits cinemas in America on Friday,...

"The Runaways" is Floria Sigismondi's feature-film directorial debut, but she has been directing music videos since 1993's "A Certain Slant of Light" by the Tea Party. In the nearly two decades since, she's helmed a number of influential and high-profile videos for everyone from Marilyn Manson ("Beautiful People") to the White Stripes ("Blue Orchid") to Christina Aguilera ("Fighter), just to name a few.
Most recently, the prolific director shot the video for "Let It Rain" for the Living Things, the band fronted by her husband, Lillian Berlin. While she's currently trying to figure out what her next film project might be, Sigismondi said that she wouldn't mind shooting a music video for Lady Gaga.
