Joe Strummer’s Home Recording of ‘Junco Partner (Acoustic)’ Unearthed
A song deep in Joe Strummer’s vaults has been unearthed. “Junco Partner” was a constant throughout Stummer’s career, and now “Junco Partner (Acoustic)” arrives ahead of Assembly, a newly remastered LP of The Clash frontman’s solo tracks. This intimate, previously unreleased home recording of “Junco Partner” features Strummer on an acoustic guitar and is available on all streaming services. The 16-track Assembly arrives March 26 via Dark Horse Records. Strummer first discovered the song on an R&B compilation in the 1970s and it became a staple on the setlist of Strummer’s first band, the 101ers, according to press materials. It was recorded by The Clash for the 1980 Sandinista! album in 1980 and it became a mainstay of live shows until the end of Joe’s career with his ban...
Lil Nas X Reveals Tekashi 6ix9ine Slid In His DMs After The Snitch Posts Homophobic Joke
Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz83 Tekashi 6ix9ine is definitely good at trolling, but he just learned that Lil Nas X is even better at the social media skill. The informant, for whatever reason, thought it was a good idea to try the “Old Town Road” crafter on Instagram posting a derogatory and homophobic comment about Lil Nas X in a DJ Akademik’s post about China requiring foreign visitors to undergo anal COVID-19 swabs. In his joke that missed epically, 6ix9ine wrote that Nas X has “entered the chat.” In response, Lil Nas X showed the “GUMMO” “rapper” that his troll game is way better sharing a screenshot of Tekashi 6ix9ine in his DMs shooting his shot sending flirty messages asking “Yo,” before inquiring, “Gonna be in ya city soon what you doing lol?” accompanied by a heart emoji...
Hundreds Of Schoolgirls Released Days After Kidnapping In Nigeria
Source: AMINU ABUBAKAR / Getty Hundreds of schoolgirls who were kidnapped at an all-girls boarding school in northwest Nigeria last week have returned safely on Tuesday. The incident is one of four attacks in three months, highlighting the nation’s mass kidnapping trend targeting schoolchildren in exchange for ransom. The students were abducted from the Government Girls Junior Secondary School (GGSS) in a rural town in Zamfara state on Friday, reports The Associated Press. A resident nearby said that the gunmen attacked a military camp and checkpoint near the school to block soldiers from interfering with their plans. Both Zimfara state police and the Nigerian military worked together to rescue the young girls from captivity successfully. It’s unclear if they paid a...

Even rock stars aren’t immune from the annoying stress of losing a wallet, as Lemonheads’ singer Evan Dando proved when he took to social media on Feb. 27 to post “I dropped my wallet with my driver’s license and two debit cards in it.” The singer-songwriter was in Cape Cod, Massachusetts, “walking from the mariner hotel to the palmer lot,” he said on Twitter.

Duff McKagan Drops ‘Two-Generation Stand’ From His Teenage Punk Band The Living
Before he was bassist for one of the biggest bands in the universe, Guns N’ Roses’ Duff McKagan was a punk rocker in Seattle. And now we can hear what a 17-year-old McKagan sounded like thanks to The Living: 1982, a previously unreleased LP from his early band The Living. Lead single “Two-Generation Stand” is out now, with the album due April 16 via Seattle’s Loosegroove Records, a label owned by Stone Gossard (Pearl Jam) and Regan Hagar (Satchel, Brad). McKagan played guitar in The Living, which also featured vocalist John Conte, bassist Todd Fleischman and drummer Greg Gilmore (Mother Love Bone). “It doesn’t matter what year this music was recorded cause it is undeniable …. but the fact that Duff, Greg, Todd and John created these fully realized songs in 1982 gives credence to ...
The Offspring Announce Let the Bad Times Roll, Share Title Track
“Pinch yourself, it’s real” was the punchline to The Offspring’s jokey (but serious) announcement that a new record was dropping soon, the group’s first new LP since 2012. Guitarist Kevin “Noodles” Wasserman and singer Bryan “Dexter” Holland released an audio statement that affirmed, “We’re putting out a record. This is true. It’s different this time. Because it’s done. It’s finished. It’s ‘in the can’ as they say. We’re putting this out.” And they’re right. The irreverent punk veterans announced that their first album in nearly a decade, Let the Bad Times Roll, will be out on April 16 on Concord Records and is produced by Bob Rock. The album has been in the works for several years. From that collection, the band shared the title track, which the band says is reflective of these stran...
Dinosaur Jr. Share New Single ‘I Ran Away’ Ahead of New Album
A few days after celebrating the 30th anniversary of Green Mind, Dinosaur Jr. are back with a new single, “I Ran Away.” The song comes from their forthcoming Sweep It Into Space album. The new LP arrives on April 23 on Jagjaguwar and is the lineup’s first new collection since 2016’s Give a Glimpse of What Yer Not. The album was co-produced by Kurt Vile, who also played the lead 12-string on “I Ran Away.” Sessions for what would become Sweep It Into Space began in late 2019, with the album originally slated for release in mid-2020. The pandemic, of course, disrupted the recording process. Instead, singer/guitarist J Mascis “ended up just mimicking a few things he’d done. I was listening to a lot of Thin Lizzy, so I was trying to get some of that dueling twin-lead ...
