Read More “Modest Mouse Announce Cruise”Review: Momma – Welcome To My Blue Sky
After the breakthrough success of Household Name, indie rock band Momma have returned with their highly anticipated fourth record called Welcome To My Blue Sky. The new album was produced by Aron Kobayashi Ritch, who also contributed on bass, and showcases the rapid improvements in Momma’s already-dynamic sound. The vibrant feelings come oozing through the speakers early on in vulnerable songs like the opening track of “Sincerely” that helps set the tone for the rest of the album. Led by the two primary songwriters/vocalists/guitarists in Etta Friedman and Allegra Weingarten, Momma tighten up their songwriting while still presenting songs that are both catchy and relevant. Momma shared in a recent interview that Welcome to My Blue Sky is “an open letter to those who have come in and out of our lives,” and this particular letter is well-received and invites wider audiences to sing along to every lyric and connect with this band on a deeper level.

Mark Hoppus is profiled in a new piece with the New York Times:
“When the band broke up, I sat right here on our couch and just despaired,” he said, referring to the first of two times the singer and guitarist Tom DeLonge walked away from Blink-182, only to eventually return. “I was so filled with animosity and hatred and rage, and I just wanted to get back in our band,” he continued, dropping a number of expletives.
But “Fahrenheit-182” never turns meanspirited or dour. “The book has no demons in it,” Hoppus said. He mentioned that he’d discussed his memoir on the phone with his psychiatrist — Hoppus is treated for obsessive-compulsive disorder, intrusive thoughts, depression and anxiety — earlier that day. “I think that writing the book helped solve a lot of ongoing issues in my life, because I was trying to write it with an even hand,” he said.

While Nintendo told us very little in the official reveal of the console in January, now we know when the Switch 2 is coming and how much it will cost at launch: June 5th and $449.99. We also have more hardware details and specs to pore over, like a 1080p, 120Hz 7.9-inch LCD screen, Joy-Con controllers with mouse-like functions, 256GB of storage, and 4K output via the dock. We even know why it’s called the Switch 2instead of Super Nintendo Switch.
Nintendo also cleared up the mysteries about the system’s “C” button with details about new GameChat features and a camera accessory, and confirmed that GameCube games are coming to Nintendo Switch Online, along with a dedicated controller to give them the respect they deserve.
Last but not least, Nintendo showed off a number of new games, like a Switch 2 edition of Metroid Prime 4: Beyond and the exclusive Switch 2 launch title, Mario Kart World.

Today I’m excited to introduce everyone to Common Holly, the artist name of Montreal-based singer-songwriter Brigitte Naggar, who is gearing up for the release of her debut LP, Anything Glass, this June. First up is her new single and video for a vibrant song called “Aegean Blue.” With key influences from artists like Bill Callahan, Mount Eerie, Lomelda, and Leonard Cohen, Common Holly is anything but a common artist who is unafraid to push the boundaries of her creativity. When speaking on the new single/video, she shared:
A reckoning in meaninglessness and unending pursuit. The words came in a moment of change and of reevaluating. This song sits squarely in the album’s theme of orienting toward what matters most, doing things differently when they aren’t feeling right. You can hear some of the vocal doubling here–since the album was recorded live, many (all?) of the songs have doubled vocals, because I would sing live while we were performing the song, and then I would later add more vocals on top of that initial vocal. This came to be a quality we liked in the whole experience of the album.
If you’re enjoying the new video, please consider pre-saving Anything Glass here.
