Lanterns: I am beginning to think Hal killed Hal. Though is the dead Hal the one made with Manhunter DNA or the real one? But the one thing about the two Hal’s theory, where is the other Hal? Is he hanging out with Sinestro because he was the one who broke him out?

The Challenge: Well, that was a waste of an episode. It just felt like filler because they probably lost an episode when they sent the three guys home without explanation. And how boring both captains won.

Survivor: What the fork just happened? Was the guy’s plan to Idol himself out? If you want to go home, just ask everyone to vote for you, why come up with one of the dumbest plans in the history of the show. Then much like how they dropped the Pantsless Pat in the first episode, they also seemed to just drop how that one lady broke her ankle this week. Unless those silly plants actually helped.

Mobland: So no one of consequence actually died last week, just a bunch of red shirts. Then all that just to have a meeting that went nowhere. Yawn.

Lanterns: They really are going to kill off Coach Taylor? Is he just going to be a Halogram for the rest of the series? Granted, who know if there will be another season. Sadly, since it looks like there is nothing to stop the Paramount – WB merger now, who knows if we will be getting another reboot of the DCU. Hilarious that a lot is going to rest on how the upcoming Clayface movie does after Supergirl bombed.

The Challenge: Sure, having three guys kicked off threw a wrench into thing, but still, it feels like no one thought out these rules. There is no more eligibles boys on one team, and only one eligible girl on the other. So, what happens on the next guy day? Do they force Tori to go in if Michele goes home next? Do they go to the finals early?

Survivor: First impression, one of the more entertaining casts in a while. I do wonder if the Irish dude ever saw someone chop down a tree before. Even I know you have to chop from both sides. And did they just drop the Pantless Pat storyline? And when was the last time there was ever a Pat? Though it is kind of depressing to think she may be too young to remember the SNL character that kind of killed that nickname.

Granted I can do without the silly catchphrase. Feel like this is just an excuse not to not have to think of new twists, they are just going to recycle some that probably did not work the first time. I do wonder if the two bros will kiss and make up after the big breakdown in voting this week. Seems like a hard thing to come back from

Mobland: So, are they really going to kill off the wife? Though, being someone who has watched too much television, if they are putting it in a cliffhanger, then probably not.

I have gotten a plethora of cool press releases flooding my inbox recently that you may find interesting. This post includes blurbs on Only Murders in London, Counting Crows, Tom Petty, Bob Marley & The Wailers, Ben Folds, Amy Winehouse, De La Soul, Nelly Furtado, and Dexys Midnight Runners.

Heartbreakers Steve Ferrone and Scott Thurston will join for a final song.

- Fifty years ago, Bob Marley & The Wailers headlined a four-night residency at the Hammersmith Odeon in London, England, spanning June 15-18, 1976, to kick off the second leg of their Rastaman Vibration tour. The prestigious booking was a risky move, with a ticket count five times of a usual Wailers show. They sold it out, and the group seized the moment with utter fire and precision, leaving reviewers grasping for words to describe what they’d witnessed. Bob’s time had come. For the first time ever, audiences can finally experience the magic of these seminal and sought-after shows with the release of the brand-new live album, Roots, Rock, Reggae: Live at the Hammersmith Odeon, out August 14, 2026, via Tuff Gong/Island/UMe. The previously unreleased 18-track album, newly mixed from the original multi-tracks, will arrive in multiple configurations, including 180-gram 2LP Vinyl, an exclusive limited edition 2LP Color Vinyl, 2CD, digital download and streaming at all DSPs and, where available, an ATMOS mix for the full “you-are-there” concert experience.

- Ben Folds is celebrating three decades in the spotlight with a very special anniversary edition of Ben Folds Five, the now-classic debut album from his iconic alt-rock trio.

This first try of the album, produced by Dave “Stiff” Johnson, includes early, alternate versions of seven tracks from the album, a performance of the beloved song “Evaporated,” which would ultimately be re-recorded for the band’s 1997 sophomore album, Whatever And Ever Amen, plus three rare outtakes that didn’t make the eponymous debut (“Emaline,” “Dick Holster” and “Eddie Walker”). The Shelved First Attempt is being previewed with the fan favorite track “Underground (Shelved First Attempt),” Pre-orders/pre-saves are available now: https://benfoldsfive.lnk.to/benfoldsfive30thPR

- To celebrate the 20^th anniversary of Amy Winehouse’s Back To Black, universally regarded as one of the greatest, most important, and influential albums in pop history, Republic/UMe will be reissuing this seminal album in a series of special formats which will include unreleased demos, rare B-sides, as well as a live performance from Paradiso, Amsterdam (February 8, 2007) from the Back To Black tour.

Records, distributed by Chrysalis. Available for pre-order beginning today, July 20, the expanded release honors one of hip-hop's most influential albums with newly remastered audio, a wealth of bonus material, and exclusive collectible editions for longtime fans and new listeners alike. Originally released in 1996, Stakes Is High marked a pivotal moment in De La Soul's career. As the trio's fourth studio album and their first without longtime collaborator Prince Paul, it ushered in a more stripped-back, hard-edged sound while remaining rooted in the wit, intelligence, and musical adventurousness that defined the group's work. Featuring the title track produced by a then-rising J Dilla, the album found De La Soul confronting the changing landscape of hip-hop with clarity, confidence, and uncompromising artistry.

Following on from the last single, "My Life In England Pt.1 ," "You’ve Got The Love" swirls with a melodious, timeless string section, a Philly disco rhythm track and a vocal from Kevin Rowland that makes the most of the song's simple and effective title. Play loud: You've Got The Love indeed. Listen to "You’ve Got The Love" HERE

- Hulu has announced “Paul Simon: The Quiet Celebration Concert,” a nearly two-hour live concert film recorded during the legendary singer-songwriter’s "A Quiet Celebration Tour."

Logline: Paul Simon brings his critically acclaimed and GRAMMY®-nominated “Seven Psalms” to life in this first-ever live performance of the complete piece for his “Quiet Celebration,” an intimate evening spanning his vast career and celebrating new arrangements of timeless classics, deep cuts and new musical discoveries. A stunning and immersive experience, lush and joyful, the film sparks a triumphant tone, picking up with Paul after having come to terms with his hearing loss and journeyed to discover new ways to perform. Simon's transformation of the movements for live performance gave way to all-new renditions of some of his most cherished songs and a deep desire to bring these contemplative and intricate pieces to audiences. “A Quiet Celebration” toured the U.S. in small venues, selected for their acoustic prowess and intimate setting, allowing audiences to engage with the music like never before. Recorded live at McCaw Hall in Seattle, join Paul for this unforgettable concert.

- After nearly three decades, the legendary Southern California band Sublime—featuring original members Eric Wilson and Bud Gaugh, alongside Jakob Nowell on vocals—returns with its first new album in 30 years, Until the Sun Explodes, available now via Atlantic Records/Regime Music Group/SVNBVRNT Records.

- Hulu has debuted the trailer and key art for Mindy Kaling's new comedy series "Not Suitable For Work."

- "Never Change!" will have its world premiere debut at the Tribeca Film Festival on June 9, 2026. "Never Change!" premieres June 17, 2026, on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+ for bundle subscribers in the U.S., and on Disney+ internationally.

- Prime Video relaunched the official trailer for the family drama series It’s Not Like That, starring Scott Foley, revealing its global launch on Prime Video is set for May 15. All episodes of the series are currently available on Wonder Project's subscription on Prime Video in the U.S. At its core, It’s Not Like That is a universal, character-driven family drama about love, loss, and starting over. From Ian Deitchman and Kristin Robinson, known for beloved classics like Life As We Know It and Parenthood, the series explores multigenerational family dynamics and the complexities of rebuilding life after loss. The show blends heartfelt drama with warmth and humor, focusing on connection, second chances, and the realities of modern family life. Watch the Trailer HERE

- Friends become foes in the ultimate wrong-com. Hulu has announced the premiere date for “Alice and Steve,” the upcoming outrageously witty comedy from Clerkenwell Films (“Baby Reindeer”). Starring Jemaine Clement and Nicola Walker, the series will debut with all six episodes on June 8, 2026, on Hulu, and Hulu on Disney+ for bundle subscribers, in the U.S. and Disney+ internationally.

- Trousdale, Los Angeles’ heavenly, harmonic, indie-folk trio, today release Growing Pains Deluxe. Arriving a little after the one-year anniversary of their sophomore album, the expanded version includes a mix of new songs and reworked versions of Growing Pains’ standout tracks. The deluxe album features Rachael Price from Lake Street Dive, Tors, Ken Yates and HAFFWAY, as well as a soaring cover of beloved Neil Young classic “Old Man.” Listen to the deluxe album HERE. Trousdale has had a remarkable trajectory since the initial release of Growing Pains. Highlights include making their daytime TV debut on The Kelly Clarkson Show, performing “The Ick” on the TODAY Show, making their Grand Ole Opry debut, touring with Maren Morris and Lake Street Dive, and selling out headline shows across North America, Europe and Australia.

- Sublime have released their latest single, “Can’t Miss You,” from their upcoming album Until the Sun Explodes, arriving June 12 on Atlantic Records. In an era where singles are often preceded by weeks of teaser campaigns, influencer activations, countdown clocks, and algorithm-driven marketing strategies, the band chose instead to make the release feel personal, immediate, and authentic – a direct connection between the music and the fans who have supported Sublime for decades. The band quietly released “Can’t Miss You” as a surprise offering for longtime listeners and diehard fans eagerly awaiting the upcoming album Until the Sun Explodes. The decision reflects the spirit that originally made Sublime resonate with audiences in the first place: raw emotion, spontaneity, and music that feels discovered rather than manufactured. Fans watch the “Can’t Miss You” music video HERE and pre-save the album HERE.

- Rising alternative indie artist Devon Thompson unveils her striking new single “Pillory” today, accompanied by an equally evocative official music video, premiering exclusively via Spill Magazine. Marking a bold new chapter in her sonic evolution, “Pillory” immerses listeners in a lush, cinematic soundscape that feels both timeless and distinctly her own. Anchored by Thompson’s ethereal vocals and atmospheric production, “Pillory” captures a mood that is at once intimate and expansive, balancing emotional vulnerability with sweeping sonic textures. The accompanying video mirrors this tension, bringing the song’s emotional core to life through visually arresting imagery and a deeply immersive tone.

- Rising New York artist Belle Blue has released her new single “Wash”—an emotionally raw track that captures the kind of moment you try to forget, but can’t quite shake. Built around vivid, almost cinematic snapshots—“he tasted like cigarettes and peach tea,” a glance across the street, a night that slips into morning—“Wash” plays like a memory in real time. It’s not a love story so much as a moment: brief, intense, and already disappearing as it’s happening.

- There is a moment — somewhere between the first drink and the last record of the night — when the music stops being background and starts being the only truth in the room. Noelle Scaggs has spent nearly two decades living inside that moment, commanding stages across the globe as a founding force behind the multi-platinum band Fitz & The Tantrums. Now, she steps forward alone — and entirely on her own terms — with her debut solo album, Money Fame Love, out today via Adventures With Scaggs LLC / Scaggs Entertainment Inc. This is not a departure. It is an arrival. Money Fame Love is the record Scaggs has been assembling in her bones for years — written across continents, born in nightclubs and quiet rooms in Los Angeles, London, Bucharest, and Saint-Brieuc, France, and shaped by the kind of fearless creative intimacy that only comes when an artist stops waiting for permission. Nine songs. No label. No committee. Just a woman, her collaborators, and the music that made her.

- When The Beach Boys’ masterpiece Pet Sounds was released in 1966, it was only a modest commercial success in the U.S. compared to the group’s earlier albums. In the decades since, however, its reputation and popularity have steadily grown, with the album now widely regarded as one of the greatest of all time—recently surpassing 2 billion streams in the U.S. alone and ranking as the sixth most streamed rock album of the 1960s, according to Luminate. Ahead of the album’s 60^th anniversary this Saturday, May 16, Pet Sounds has been certified double platinum by the RIAA, a testament to its enduring popularity and timeless appeal. Additionally, the album’s classic singles “Wouldn’t It Be Nice” is now 4x platinum, “God Only Knows” is 2x platinum and “Sloop John B” is platinum.

- Walt Disney Records drops the digital single “The Mandalorian and Grogu (Boys Noize Remix),” an electronic take on Oscar®winning composer Ludwig Göransson’s main theme from “Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu,” remixed by acclaimed producer and DJ Boys Noize (Alex Ridha). The track is out now on Spotify | Apple Music | Amazon Music | YouTube Music and other digital platforms. “Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu” opens in theaters May 22. Boys Noize shares, “I grew up on Star Wars, so being invited into this universe is really special to me. Much respect to Ludwig - I’ve always been a fan of his work, and it was inspiring to bring this piece into my own world.”

- It won’t be long now. Before David Tennant, Alex Hassell, Aidan Turner, Nafessa Williams and Bella Maclean return to the Cotswalds, relive all the steaminess of season one. Ahead of the highly anticipated second season of the Emmy and BAFTA award-winning “Rivals,” Hulu has released a new recap featurette.

- Widely regarded as one of the greatest albums of all time, The Beach Boys’ Pet Sounds redefined what an album could be upon its release on May 16, 1966, forever altering the course of popular music. Sixty years on, it remains as vital and influential as ever.

- UMe announces the first-ever vinyl pressing of iconic 3x-GRAMMY® Award-nominated rock band Audioslave’s second full-length album, Out Of Exile, available on June 12, 2026. Pre-order HERE. The group united the iconic voice and songwriting of Chris Cornell with the explosive, genre-defining sound of Rage Against The Machine’s Tom Morello, Tim Commerford, and Brad Wilk —forming an undeniable force that helped define 21st-century rock. For this new reissue, Levi Seitz of Black Belt Mastering has remastered the original Out Of Exile. It will be available in two configurations: a standard 180g Black Vinyl edition and a limited edition D2C Black Liquid Vinyl pressing inspired by the album’s cover art, housed in a die-cut gatefold jacket designed to showcase the disc.

- The Leaving today release their eagerly anticipated debut album, Ultimate Buzz here, available digitally and on vinyl via Avenue A / Futures ✦ / Virgin Records. Alongside the record, they release a new single, album highlight “Atmosphere” here. Listen / download Ultimate Buzz Vinyl available via Diggers Factory The Leaving is a new band formed by Martin Doherty and Jonny Scott, longtime friends, collaborators and LA-based expats of the Glaswegian music scene as multi-instrumentalists, songwriters and producers with CHVRCHES, The Twilight Sad, Aerogramme, Mogwai and Idlewild, amongst others.

- Beatrix releases her sophomore album We Swallowed The Sky via Nice Life Recording Company. Arielle Kasnetz, the LA-based singer-songwriter who goes by the moniker Beatrix, had to discover her own voice. For most of her life, she trained in classical music, spending hours practicing vocal scales and learning piano pieces. But the stories she told weren’t hers, the words and the feelings somebody else’s who had lived a long time ago. It wasn’t until the pandemic, stuck in her bedroom with an acoustic guitar that someone had gifted to her a few birthdays ago, that she began to try writing for herself. Now, on her new album, she moves further into the recesses of her history, exploring a formative relationship from her past and the reverberations that it left. It’s the sound of a songwriter as committed to honesty and self-exploration as to constant musical progression.

- Boston’s breakout band Couch returned home this week to mark a defining hometown moment—headlining the Boston Marathon’s Official Afterparty on Patriots’ Day and launching the return of their annual Earth Day partnership with local nonprofit Mass Audubon—combining a celebration of the city with a renewed commitment to giving back. The performance followed the band’s 40-city international headline tour in support of their debut album Big Talk, which took them across the U.S. and Europe and marked a breakout stretch that included their national television debut on CBS and a historic sold-out show at Roadrunner—making Couch the first fully self-managed, independent band to do so at the 3,500-capacity venue.

Centered by tangled guitars, powerful drums, and belt-your-heart-out vocals, the track sees The Revivalists celebrating perseverance in the face of things you love so much they threaten to tear you apart, with frontman David Shaw squaring up to whatever is to come by howling en route to the climax, “I’m not afraid of the future comin’ my way/I’m over wasting my time.” “Heart Stop”, co-written by Shaw with Andriu “Yàno” Yanovski and PJ Howard, is joined today by an official music video streaming now on YouTube. Directed by filmmaker Caroline Iaffaldano and fully shot on a first-person-view helmet cam, the instantly striking visual takes the viewer inside an iconic New Orleans shotgun house alongside the talented dancer Malerie Dempster. "This song might hit a little different for everyone, and I love that,” says Shaw. “But for me, I'd say sometimes you are caught between two loves. One that's tearing you apart and one that you know is right. This song is the sleepless nights, the wreckage, and the moment you finally surrender to what you know is there for you."

In the wake of the release, he received a 1990 GRAMMY® Award in the category of “Best Rock Vocal Performance Male” for “The End Of The Innocence.” Henley notably helmed the album as a producer, with guests Bruce Hornsby and Axl Rose joining for memorable collaborations on “The End Of The Innocence” and “I Will Not Go Quietly,” respectively.

- Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee and Grammy Award-winning guitarist Peter Frampton today shares a new single, “Lions at the Gate,” featuring Tom Morello—listen/share here. Today’s release follows iHeartRadio’s world premiere of the track, where they aired the song on all of their Classic Rock stations around the country yesterday. The song is the latest release from Frampton’s upcoming album, Carry the Light, his first album of all-new material in 16 years, on May 15 via UMe—pre-order/pre-save here. Co-written and produced with his son Julian Frampton, the collection also includes guest appearances by Sheryl Crow, Bill Evans, H.E.R., Graham Nash and Benmont Tench. “Lions at the Gate is a powerful track with a powerful message, and Tom’s playing took it to another level,” said Frampton.

- New York City’s Blums, the project of songwriter and musician Kelsea Feder, is excited to announce her signing to Brooklyn-based indie label, Take Care Records. Heralding the news is her debut single, the winding and weaving “Sinking/Soaring,” which chronicles the cyclical nature of self-torment. Inspired by Kelsea’s stint as a jazz club hostess, the track is laced with mellow vibraphone and delicate keys, building into a melodic spiral. Alongside the song, an official music video directed by Ava Burka and Marianna Kamiaklioyis premieres today. Documenting a hazy, disillusioned world of dilapidated houses and glamorous performances, the video for “Sinking/Soaring” shows the contrast between high highs and low lows. Speaking about the new song and video, Kelsea shares, “The song comes from a place of being trapped in the head, self-obsessed, miserable, tormented by loneliness, and disgusted because I was aware my problems are so small compared to the world at large. I wrote this in 2019. The previous year I was working as a hostess at a jazz club so I feel like I had a lot of that in my head, or at least the image of ‘jazz singer.’ I was living with Sasha Berliner, a dear friend of mine and a jazz vibraphonist. She plays some vibraphone on this track (as well as keys), and when I was stumped on where to go I played it for her and she gave me the perfect missing chord for the 2nd and 3rd choruses. Kirk, my incredibly brilliant producer, had me write out certain syllables of each word and sing them in different melodies to do this incredible weird effect at the bridge, freaky genius style.” LISTEN TO “SINKING/SOARING”

- Country artist Belles unveils her new single “Son of Jolene,” featuring international music legend Dolly Parton – a modern sequel to one of country music’s most iconic songs.

Inspired by the timeless narrative that captivated generations, Belles penned “Son of Jolene” as a clever, character-driven continuation of the classic story, imagining a chance encounter years later with Jolene’s son. Blending vivid storytelling with a modern country edge, the song honors the spirit of the original track while introducing a fresh perspective. “I grew up so inspired by Dolly and the worlds she created through her songs,” shares Belles. “Having her lend her voice to this record is beyond anything I could have imagined. It feels like a full-circle moment and a true honor.”

See all dates below and find more information here. "Head Down," out today, is bright and dreamy with its guitars and double tracked vocals. Thematically, it leans darker as it explores the illusion of innocence that allows one to look the other way and the desire for instant gratification. “Mass produce destruction,” the artist sings in the first few seconds of the song, “get out of bed.” The accompanying video, directed by collaborator Margaret Elle, captures that innocence and brightness against the bleaker themes of the song.

On the splashy new music video, Lee boldly asks, "Who doesn’t want to smash their phone in 2026 and be met with confetti to celebrate? In this hyper-digital day and age, it’s near impossible to not fall down the algorithmic rabbit hole of comparison spirals, curated perfection, and infinite doomscrolling. I wanted to visually represent the tension that exists between conforming to the pressure or rebelling against it and what it feels like when the two coincide."

I have gotten a plethora of cool press releases flooding my inbox recently that you may find interesting. This post includes blurbs on The Aces, Neil Diamond, Sean Paul, The Leaving, and Cherry Bomb.

- Like a great night you never want to end, The Aces today release their deluxe album, Gold Star Baby: After Hours, and keep the dance party going. The expanded record includes three new tracks: the previously released diss track “Square One,” joined by the hopeful “Can’t Wait” and a club remix of “The Magic” by the band’s own Katie Henderson. The new set of songs makes an argument against anyone who says nothing good happens after midnight — Stream. On the deluxe album as a whole, the band shared, “We felt like we wanted to keep the ‘Gold Star Baby’ party going. We had so much fun touring this record and the culture we built with the fans and wanted one last hurrah. So, we decided to share some of our unreleased favs from the era. Little bit of heartbreak, a lot of disco. That’s GSB.”

- On May 8, rock ‘n’ roll icon Neil Diamond unveils Wild At Heart, a testament to his mastery and a remarkable third – and final – entry in his universally praised collaboration with producer Rick Rubin. Recorded initially at sessions for Diamond’s chart-topping Home Before Dark, this collection of ten songs features his signature passionate vocals and powerfully incisive lyrics surrounded by urgent yet stripped-down arrangements. Diamond initially teamed up with Rubin for 2005’s 12 Songs, hailed as “one of the most entertaining, satisfying albums Diamond has ever released.” The partnership went so well that Diamond was eager to work with Rubin again. 2008’s Home Before Dark was a tremendous popular success (his first-ever Number One album on the Billboard charts) and garnered widespread critical praise. PopMatters’ James Bassett echoed many of his colleagues’ sentiments when he hailed Home Before Dark as “an album of rare beauty, grace, and eloquence that captures Diamond in all his plain-spoken and big-hearted glory. And it is easily the most intensely personal release of his esteemed career.” WATCH THE OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO FOR “WILD AT HEART” HERE. VIEW THE WILD AT HEART TRAILER HERE.

- Multi-award-winning dancehall icon Sean Paul and Grammy-nominated R&B singer Keyshia Cole are seeing their 2006 collaboration “(When You Gonna) Give It Up to Me” reach a new milestone nearly two decades after its original release. This week, the record climbs to No. 30 on the UK Official Singles Chart with 12,578 sales, marking a new all-time chart peak in the territory. The renewed chart success follows a sustained global resurgence that has accelerated throughout 2026. Since January 1, the track has generated more than 120 million new streams worldwide, reflecting renewed engagement from both longtime fans and younger listeners encountering the record through short-form video platforms.

- The duo The Leaving, comprised of Martin Doherty (CHVRCHES) and Jonny Scott, announce their debut album Ultimate Buzz, set for release on April 24, via Avenue A / Futures ✦ / Virgin Records. Alongside the announcement, they’ve released their single, “Fluoxetine,” written and produced by both members, following earlier tracks “Pray” and “Saved”. “Fluoxetine” finds The Leaving staring straight into grief and coming back changed. Built from existential doubt, love, and the need to be a source of comfort when you feel utterly unqualified, the song wrestles with belief, loss, and the desperate desire to absorb someone else’s pain. Born from insomnia, hallucination, and fleeting euphoria, “Fluoxetine” captures the moment sorrow transforms into strength.

- Cherry Bomb, the Los Angeles-based solo project of MisterWives' Mandy Lee throws a Y2K party with a confessional, pop-drenched tune "Digital Girl" out today via AWAL. Underneath the pulsing beat and crisp vocals, Lee earnestly chronicles the pains of keeping up with an increasingly automated, algorithmic world as an artist. LISTEN: "Digital Girl" With a reference to Madonna's "Material Girl," made for 2026 on the bubbling Y2K earworm, the track details the real struggles of being both a musician and a person today. Speaking on the contrived displays of perfection on social media and pressures of constant self-promotion, Lee explains, "'Digital Girl' asks how far are you willing to go for your dreams and at what cost? In this Information Age where the pressures of perfection and an unsustainable quantity over quality are constantly burning out not just artists but everyone who is plugged in, it’s impossible to not romanticize unplugging entirely."

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: Oh joy, a penultimate flashback. There were fewer things I needed less than a Dunk backstory in the middle of an epic fight. And now The Hand is missing his brains after they fell out. Somehow less gross than how they opened the first episode.

Tell Me Lies: Wait, has this been a comedy this whole time? That ending was hilarious. Stephan is a douche, maybe the evilest person in television history that was not a serial killer, just completely loathsome; and yet, he gave a highly entertaining speech. I look forward to rewatching this show knowing it was a comedy this whole time.

But still, I was a little disappointed we never got the Stephan-Lydia hookup story other than the offhanded comment of only getting together to piss off Lucy. Or how and why Lucy reconnected with the bartender. Did she actually go back to the college after being expelled by disgrace? I was also disappointed they never got to work in a Tell Me Lies by Fleetwood Mac needle drop.

Similar in presentation and execution to Blue Note’s acclaimed Tone Poet series, the production and packaging seek to honor the stature of these recordings and includes tip-on wrapped gatefold jackets in satin matte finish, printed on clay-coated board, with archival poly sleeves and a four-panel insert featuring new liner notes. Dreamboat Annie, celebrating its 50^th anniversary this year, was mastered from the 1975 Can-Base Studios tapes and features liner notes from veteran music writer Rick Florino, while Spilt Milk was mastered from a new 96kHz, 24bit digital remaster sourced from the 1993 Ocean Way Mixdown tapes and was pressed on 2LP, spreading the 46 minutes of music onto three sides to maximize punch and fidelity, while minimizing the amount of record-flipping interruptions. A handwritten message to fans from Jellyfish co-founder Roger Joseph Manning Jr. is engraved on the fourth side. Manning also provides an illuminating, in-depth interview in the liner notes about the making of the short-lived band's power pop masterpiece.

- Beatrix announces her sophomore album We Swallowed The Sky will be released on April 24 via Nice Life. The LA-based orchestral indie rock/ folk / chamber-pop project of Arielle Kasnetz sees her accessing the deepest recesses of her memory with her upcoming record. The songs are striking and off-kilter, full of surprising melodic turns or boldly arranged instrumentals, and careening from hushed piano numbers to loud full-band blasts. We Swallowed The Sky’s connecting lyrical thread is Kasnetz returning to a long-gone relationship, allowing its ghost to haunt her former love. This ghost is embodied by the pedal steel that weaves between the past, present and future across the album. Where Kasnetz often feels misunderstood, this record is the most in her own form she has ever felt — Pre-save. The's album news arrives with the new single and video “Class Reunion.” Kasnetz flexes her storytelling prowess as she paints a picture of the exes running into each other after ten years, sparing not one detail for the listener — Stream.

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: I figured Dunk would fine six others, but I was not expecting the prince to round out the squad. Although, it is pretty obvious who will win.

Tell Me Lies: There is no way Stephen did not make a copy of that tape. Chekhov’s tape is going to be released in the finale (Lydia’s reaction to Lucy in the future really makes the tape coming out very likely). But the most interesting part of the episode was Bree talking about harming Stephan. I have long believed the show has to end with him dead or in prison and now I think it may be likely that someone murders Stephan. I wonder if we get to see the dead body if the finale setting up a who did it for next season.

Hijack: Oh joy, another dramatic cliffhanger. I wonder if this one will stick like the time they made it seem like they killed that one guy who ended up dying anyway.

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The worst kept secret finally came out. How anyone was surprised is the real shocker. The guy shaves his head to hide something and whose nickname kind of sounds like a royal prince. Despite being obvious, I wonder why the evil Targaryen horse killer believes him.

Tell Me Lies: Um, why did multiple couples go to the anti-Valentine’s Day party? Does that not defeat the purpose of having an anti-Valentine’s Day party if half the people there have valentines? And how do you have an anti-Valentine’s Day party without playing the quintessential anti-love song: Love Stinks by the J. Geils Band? But I do wonder if Wrigley picking Stephan as the most likely to go to prison is foreshadowing.

Hijack: So, is that lady that supposedly knows Sam? For a second I thought she was on the flight from the first season, but IMDB says she was not on the first season. Does she know him from something else? I am confused how she fits into this whole thing.

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: And I thought the first episode started with something I really did not need to see. This reminds me of the old SNL sketch where it was revealed a ten year old was writing Game of Thrones.

Tell Me Lies: Well, that is one way to end an episode. But I really thought I was right about Stephan calling Diana’s father and he was going to convince her to keep it when the dad called her in the waiting room. I still wonder if there is even a small chance there is a little Stephan running around in 2015.

Hijack: They really wrote themselves into a lose-lose last week where either Sam was a cold-blooded killer or the cliffhanger was a cheap fake out. It somehow was worse; it was a fake out and the dude still died. This is getting stupid.

The Hunting Party: If they do not go after the other lady soon and use this episode’s baddy of the week, it will be time to hire new writers.
