Interpol play secret show at Mercury Lounge (opens the original)
Read excerpt
“It was August, 2001, the last time we played here,” Paul Banks told the Sunday night crowd at the Mercury Lounge. Over twenty years after New York City’s alt-rock boom—now colloquially known as the Meet Me in the Bathroom era, a reference to Lizzy Goodman’s oral history of the scene and the Strokes song of the same name—the Lower East Side venue is still best known for being the place where the most defining bands of early 2000s New York cut their teeth. Some guy in the audience shouted “Welcom
“Heavy Metal Drummer” is the Platonic ideal of a summer song (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In celebration of its 25th anniversary, Paste will be publishing essays about Wilco’s Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. Summer doesn’t happen in the present tense—a paradoxical truth about a season characterized by impulse, action, and heat. This mid-year point of peak aliveness is primed for whirlwind romances and calls to adventure. Self-expression feels more possible than ever. Theoretically, then, the middle months of the year should be made up of our most lived-in moments, yet summer seems defined by a
Taylor Swift’s four new songs are The Encore that no one asked for (opens the original)

Sure, the overall dreary and fake-deep Tortured Poets Department might’ve overstayed its welcome, but at least it had highlights among the stream-baiting bloat. With Showgirl’s expanded Encore edition, Swift gave us the one thing that could possibly make the initial album even worse: more. Based on standards set by, well, Taylor Swift

Read excerpt
Lucy Dacus, Julien Baker, and more took to the streets of Midtown, Manhattan in order to protest the ongoing genocide in Palestine. Yesterday (September 24), hundreds gathered in Midtown, calling for Benjamin Netanyahu’s arrest ahead of the Israeli prime minister’s speaking arrangement at the United Nations. Activist group Jewish Voice for Peace led the charge at First Avenue and 39th Street. The protest, which drew massive crowds, blocked city streets, prompting NYPD officers to order protester
Review: Nussy Andrews shines from the periphery on 'High Self Esteem' (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When I saw Nussy Andrews live a few weeks ago, she spent most of her set offstage. Her bandmates spread out across the stage while Andrews sat at her piano below it, facing the wall—a pretty on-the-nose spatial manifestation of the scene she places herself in on her ballad “Cassandra Bird”: “If life’s a cabaret / I’m far from center-stage / I’ll be the scenery, a periphery, estranged.” In her self-made orchestra pit, hunched over her keys, Andrews is an illustrious narrator and expert commander
