Wayne Kramer, co-founder, guitarist, and singer of the influential Detroit rock band MC5, has died at the age of 75. Kramer’s passing was announced on Friday (February 2nd) in a post shared to Instagram, revealing that the legendary musician died of pancreatic cancer.
“Wayne Kramer passed away today peacefully from pancreatic cancer. He will be remembered for starting a revolution in music, culture, and kindness,” read the statement on his official Instagram account.
MC5’s history dates back to 1963, when Kramer started a band with fellow guitarist Fred “Sonic” Smith. After a couple years, the classic lineup of Kramer, Smith, singer Rob Tyner, bassist Michael Davis, and drummer Dennis Thompson was in place.
While MC5 never reached mainstream success and only released two studio albums — 1970’s Back in the USA and 1971’s High Time — they remain one of the most influential rock bands of all time, paving the way for...

There’s a reason the word honors is in the title. To help celebrate the lifetime contributions of artists in music, dance, theater, opera, movies and TV, the Kennedy Center Honors routinely pay tribute to its recipients by rewarding them with memorable performances.
Scores of artists have been feted since the Honors got their start in 1978, but there are certain tributes that remain sketched in our hearts forever. In anticipation of the 46th annual event honoring Billy Crystal, Renée Fleming, Barry Gibb, Queen Latifah, and Dionne Warwick on Dec. 27, we look back at some of the show’s most unforgettable performances — starting with Lenny Bernstein’s opening speech from the very first Kennedy Center Honors, of course.

For Bill Fay‘s 80th birthday, Jeff Tweedy is giving him the gift of flattery. The Wilco musician has shared his rendition of “Filled With Wonder Once Again,” which originally appeared on the English singer and songwriter’s 2020 album, Countless Branches.
For more than two decades, Wilco has performed “Be Not So Fearful” from Fay’s 1970 debut album Bill Fay during their sets. In 2007, Fay joined Wilco on stage at London’s Shepherd’s Bush Empire to perform the song together. It marked his first live performance in three decades.

Old Crow Medicine Show have shared “One Drop,” the latest single from their upcoming album, Jubilee. The spiritually rich, uplifting tune features legendary R&b and gospel singer Mavis Staples, who vocalist Ketch Secor credits as lifting the band’s sound to new heights.
“This is the latest in our canon of ‘songs of a spiritual persuasion,’ and, I think, one of our best, due in no small part to the presence of a legend of gospel music and more, the great Mavis Staples,” Secor explains. “Mavis epitomizes a life in roots music, and Old Crow can only hope that the next 25 years will bring us, like she is, closer to the true vine.”

Is AVOD the solution for struggling indie doc filmmakers?
“Beyond Utopia,” “A Still Small Voice,” “Deep Rising,” “It’s Only Life After All,” “Going Varsity in Mariachi,” and “The Grab” are all documentary titles that garnered good reviews, positive audience feedback and plenty of media attention at major film festivals including this year’s Sundance and last year’s Toronto International Film Festival. But despite the high visibility, each title is still seeking distribution.
The chances of any of the six titles garnering a highly coveted distribution deal isn’t likely given the state of the entertainment industry at present. The dismal distribution landscape has forced some nonfiction filmmakers to turn to substantially less lucrative alternatives, such as ad-supported VOD, or AVOD channels, and revenue-sharing arrangements to get their work seen.
That list include filmmakers Violet Columbus and Ben Klein, who directed the 2022 Sundance grand jury prize documentary winner “The Exiles.

Protest art collective Pussy Riot have been awarded the 2023 Woody Guthrie Prize, which is given every year to an artist who exemplifies the late singer’s “spirit and work by speaking for the less fortunate” and “serving as a positive force for social change.”
Though Pussy Riot don’t make anything close to folk music, the Russian feminist protest and performance art group certainly fit the bill, as founding member Nadya Tolokonnikova pointed out in a statement. “It feels fitting to be awarded in the spirit of Woody, I think he would love Pussy Riot’s anti-fascist message,” she said. “We don’t really do folk, but we don’t really do punk either, we simply scream and protest as loud as we can, and hope we can show others they can do the same.”
She continued, “Like Woody said, any fool can make something complicated, our message is clear and simple.

Though he has been famous for years, has given hundreds of interviews, and has been the subject of a number of films, Bob Dylan remains a relatively enigmatic celebrity. He prefers to keep his personal life private, though documentarians have attempted to understand the man behind the music. For any fans who want the same thing, here are five films that capture Dylan.
Bob Dylan | Val Wilmer/Redferns ‘Dont Look Back’
In 1965, filmmaker D.A. Pennebaker followed Dylan on his tour of England. The resulting film is one of the most intimate looks at Dylan, who was just beginning his career. For context, he was still an acoustic artist at this point; he divided fans by going electric just months after this tour.

St. Vincent delivered a faithful rendition of David Bowie’s “Young Americans” as part of Thursday’s Love Rocks NYC benefit, an all-star concert staged at New York’s Beacon Theater to benefit God’s Love We Deliver.
Backed by a massive band that included backup singers and a horn section, Annie Clark echoed blue-eyed soul-era Bowie, working the crowd and singing with a very Thin White Duke inflection.
St. Vincent’s appearance came one night after she covered Portishead’s “Glory Box” alongside the Roots on The Tonight Show.

Hardly 24 hours after she teamed up with The Roots for a killer cover of Portishead’s “Glory Box” on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, St. Vincent took on David Bowie’s “Young Americans” Thursday night during the star-studded Love Rocks NYC benefit concert at New York City’s Beacon Theatre.
The night was a whole a who’s-who of performers: James Taylor, Mavis Staples, Sheryl Crow, Pat Benatar, Neil Giraldo, Warren Haynes, the John Mayer Trio, Rufus Wainwright, Gary Clark Jr., Jim James, Ledisi, Allison Russell, The War and Treaty, and former Yankee Bernie Williams all took the stage throughout the evening.
Aside from St. Vincent, a few standout performances include Benatar doing “Love Is a Battlefield,” Taylor singing “How Sweet It Is,” Staples dusting off Staple Singers’ “Respect Yourself,” and Russell honoring the late Christine McVie with a cover of Fleetwood Mac’s “Don’t Stop.” St. Vincent...

Margo Price Tackled Bodily Autonomy on New Single ‘Lydia’ Years Ago. Now It Feels Like a Premonition
Margo Price’s latest single “Lydia” was written years ago after the musician was struck with inspiration while passing by a women’s health clinic on tour. The song poured out in eight minutes, a moving collection of words about bodily autonomy and women’s rights that she finally recorded last year for her forthcoming album Strays, out Jan. 13. Roe v. Wade hadn’t been overturned when “Lydia” was written or recorded — now it feels like an eerily timely premonition.

Iggy Pop has shared a new cover of Leonard Cohen’s 2016 track “You Want It Darker.” Pop’s version of the spoken word song, which appeared on Cohen’s final album before his death, is pensive and moody as Pop fills in for Cohen’s gravel-tinged croon.
“There’s nobody like Leonard,” Pop noted in a statement about why he wanted to cover the song. “Not in the whole world.”
“You Want It Darker” will appear on the upcoming all-star tribute album Here It Is: A Tribute to Leonard Cohen,...

Last July, Brandi Carlile had a provocation for her friend Jay Sweet, the head of Newport Folk Festival. “One year from now,” Sweet remembers her telling him. “I bet you we can bring Joni Mitchell to this stage.”
The festival head was skeptical. A few years back, he had witnessed a magical moment at a show in Los Angeles when Mitchell was reunited with her old friend Mavis Staples, whom she hadn’t seen in many years. When the two singers met, they butterfly-kissed, nose to nose, for a full 30 seconds without speaking.
