57 Channels and Only This Was On: September 27, 2026

 

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.

Digging into the vaults, this collection traces the sonic formation of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers in the white-hot ‘70s era, and features collaborations with legendary artists Al Kooper, Leon Russell, Jim Gordon, Emory Gordy and more, across country, folk, punk, reggae, rock and soul originals.  The announcement arrives ahead of tonight’s Americana Awards, where Petty and the Heartbreakers will receive the Lifetime Achievement Award. The original members of the Heartbreakers, Mike Campbell, Benmont Tench, Stan Lynch and Ron Blair, will open the show with a special reunion performance alongside Grammy-winning superstar Chris Stapleton. 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.  To listen and to pre-order/pre-save go HERE.

- 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. Ben Folds Five (30^th Anniversary) – which, technically speaking, arrives 31 years after its original August 8, 1995 release – sees the groundbreaking original LP newly remastered and joined by the long-awaited, fan-requested un-vaulting of the band’s mythical shelved first attempt, only recently rediscovered on digital audio tape by Folds in his own personal archives and specially remastered for this release.  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. The formats will also include never-before-seen photos by original album photographers Mischa Richter and Alex Lake, plus brand-new and poignant liner notes from producers and friends Mark Ronson and Salaam Remi, and will be released on Friday, October 23, 2026, just days before the 20^th anniversary of the album’s original release date of Friday, October 27, 2006.  Preorder Back To Black 20^th Anniversary Editions HERE.  Presave Back To Black 20^th Anniversary HERE

- Legendary Hip Hop group De La Soul has released the official video for “Run It Back!!” featuring Nas, one of the standout tracks from the group’s critically acclaimed tenth studio album, Cabin in the Sky, released via Mass Appeal.  Bringing together two of New York Hip Hop’s most enduring voices, “Run It Back!!” finds De La Soul and Nas looking at Hip Hop’s past, present and future while proving why their contributions to the culture remain as vital as ever. Produced by Supa Dave West and De La Soul, the record provides a soulful backdrop for Posdnuos and Nas to trade perspective, sharp observations and veteran lyricism.  WATCH: “Run It Back!!” feat. Nas — [HERE].  STREAM: Cabin in the Sky — [HERE]

- Thirty years after its original release, De La Soul celebrates the legacy of Stakes Is High with a definitive 30th Anniversary Edition, arriving October 23, 2026 via A.O.I. 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.

- GRAMMY® Award-winning, multiplatinum singer, songwriter, and producer Nelly Furtado celebrates the 20th anniversary of her landmark third studio album, Loose, with the release of the 20th Anniversary Deluxe Edition on September 4, 2026.

Play loud: You've Got The Love indeed.  Listen to "You’ve Got The Love" HERE

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. Featuring collaborations with H.R. of Bad Brains, Fletcher Dragge of Pennywise, G Love and more, the album stays rooted in the band’s classic sound while opening a new chapter.

- Hulu has debuted the trailer and key art for Mindy Kaling's new comedy series "Not Suitable For Work."  The series will premiere with three episodes on June 2, then two episodes weekly until the finale on June 23, only on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+ for bundle subscribers in the U.S. and Disney+ internationally. 

-  "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.”

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.

- 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. LISTEN: Big Talk

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. This release signals a pivotal moment ahead of Belles’ highly anticipated debut album, set for release in 2026. “Son of Jolene” is available now on all streaming platforms here.  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.”

- San Francisco via New York City indie rock artist lucky break confronts hard feelings on soft track, "Head Down," with its matching video, out today. The musician's debut record made it! is due out May 8 via Fire Records and is available to pre-save now. After playing SXSW last month, lucky break will embark on a tour across select U.S. cities this spring and summer including select dates with Nashville artist Maisy Owen. 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.
