Breakups are sticky — thankfully, we have Kacey Musgraves to guide us through the woods. If her nude SNL performance wasn't an indicator of how epic her new album Star-Crossed is, let us be the ones to convince you to watch the album companion. Musgraves swaps the sweet love songs for symphonic-yet-brutal heartbreak anthems...

A pillar of 70's guitar rock, Lynyrd Skynyrd long ago reached legend status—look no further than FM staples like "Freebird" and "Sweet Home Alabama." But the associated Southern elements and iconography have sometimes pigeon-holed the Jacksonville natives. The 2018 documentary If I Leave Here Tomorrow goes a long way towards dispelling any...

The set is under 30 minutes long and remains fun to watch (and sing along with!) throughout: look at what little babies the...

As weird as it might sound, a musical about the September 11 attacks is one of my favorite Broadway shows. Come From Away, which was filmed live in May 2021 and which is now streaming on Apple TV+, tells the true story of 38 planes that were unexpectedly diverted to a tiny town in Newfoundland, Canada on the day the Twin Towers were struck in ...

Annette is the kind of movie I would have been obsessed with as a 16-year-old wannabe film hipster. It's weird, it's sentimental, it's brooding, and at times, it seems like it's magic. It's hard to call this dreamy rock opera from Leos Carax a masterpiece, because I hardly loved every minute. Some minutes—like the ones featuring the Baby Annette ...

The half-hour docuseries examines everything from reverb to sampling to auto-tune to explore their history, evolution, and function throughout popular music....
A Beatles/Paul McCartney documentary of a different color (though it's in black and white), McCartney 3, 2, 1 finds the 79 year-old Macca in a studio soundstage sharing stories of Beatles and solo songs, how they were written, and how they were played and recorded. McCartney's genial nature, never haughty or condescending, shines as he walks Rick...

Are you looking to let loose, listen to some good music, and hop in a time machine back to the height of rock and roll in the early 1970s? The 2000s flick, Almost Famous will allow you to do just that. When 15-year-old aspiring journalist William Miller is sent on assignment by Rolling Stone Magazine to tour with and cover a story about the...
