I have been very, very agitated, uneasy, and borderline angry for the past few weeks. This has helped calm me down. If you are upset with life, like I have been, I hope this can help you.

Fifty years ago today, Frank Sinatra recorded "My Way". Was it an original song? Nope! It was based on Claude Francois's "Comme d'Habitude".

Led Zeppelin vocalist Robert Plant discussed Greta Van Fleet and their strong similarities between his style and Josh Kiszka’s singing, jokingly telling Channel Ten (via Loudwire):

“There’s a band in Detroit called Greta Van Fleet, they are Led Zeppelin I. Beautiful little singer, I hate him!”

“He borrowed [his voice] from somebody I know very well, but what are you going to do? At least he’s got a bit of style, because he’s said he based his whole style of Aerosmith *rolls eyes*.”

I'm not an astrophysicist, but I don't think a paper sun would be very effective.

Animal Collective's Merriweather Post Pavilion was radical enough to redefine Indie music. Why didn't it?

"Have You Seen Your Mother, Baby, Standing in the Shadow?" is a Stones song you hardly every hear on the radio (despite being a US top 10 song) but makes me happy every time I hear it.
