Album cover for "Speed, Sound, Lonely KV" In recent months, Bob Dylan’s “Never-Ending Tour” has taken its longest hiatus since the folk singer began the now 3,066-show journey in 1988. On April 7, legendary folk iconoclast John Prine passed away from complications due to the coronavirus, leaving behind a 50 year legacy of influential protest music as part of Chicago’s folk revival.

We all know the guy who — in identifying too closely with Joseph Gordon Levitt’s character in “(500) Days of Summer” — has decided that The Smiths, with all their nihilistic charm, are the greatest band of all time (bonus points if he’s also somehow still a fan of Morrissey as an individual).

Her releases in the meantime — including 2018’s “Pat...

For decades, book lovers and tourists alike have flocked to the Strand Book Store in New York City’s Greenwich village to marvel at the 23 miles of rare, used, and new books that line the historic destination’s shelves or to secure a Strand-branded tote bag.

In the universe of cinematic drummers, Ruben Stone, the heavy metal drummer in Darius Mauder’s “Sound of Metal,” is a classic Andrew Nieman. In short, he's a case study of how dedication, obsession and perfection come at the expense of mental — and often, physical — health. Mauder's film follows Ruben (Riz Ahmed), a drummer in a touring metal duo with his girlfriend Lou (Olivia Cooke), as he loses his hearing and consequently, the rocker life he was accustomed to. From the moment of his diagnosis, Ruben refuses to listen to medical professionals who advise him to stop...
