Luke Combs wants you to know one thing: He’s a regular guy. He might be playing songs that immediately become playlist staples, but those ballads and rockers are, he maintains, the same ones he’d be playing if he were only outfitted with, as he croons on the opening track of his third album, Growin’ Up, “tips in a jar, my guitar, and an old barstool.” The 32-year-old North Carolinian, reigning Country Music Entertainer of the Year, stadium headliner, and holder of multiple platinum records, is trying hard to...

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has taken inspiration from a number of places. Not only do they have the decades-long history of Marvel Comics to draw from, but as with most things, the architects of this world take elements from all over pop culture and incorporate them into their films. Not every reference is called out like Peter Parker's pithy battle banter, but many are easy enough to pick out. For instance, Kevin Feige and company have clearly taken the lyrics from Semisonic's "Closing Time" to heart: "Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end."

Closing time indeed. Genre-traversing hitmaker and Semisonic frontman Dan Wilson has signed over 100% of his catalog — around 350 songs — to music publishing and management company Primary Wave, the latter announced on Thursday. Only one week into 2021, this is the third major acquisition of songwriting rights this year, following that of Fleetwood Mac’s Lindsey Buckingham and Neil Young. And it comes just one month after Stevie Nicks’ similar deal with Primary Wave.
Wilson’s deal includes a total of three Adele songs — “One and Only,” “Don’t You Remember,” and the...

For Saturday Night Live’s final episode of 2020 — and one of the final episodes before Joe Biden’s inauguration — Weekend Update looked back at both the lowlights and comedic highlights of Donald Trump’s presidency with a montage soundtracked by Semisonic’s “Closing Time.”
“Barring a reverse Christmas miracle, this is the last Weekend Update with Donald Trump still in office,” co-anchor Colin Jost said as the audience roared with applause. “Now as president, he was mostly bad, but there were a few bright spots. So before he is tranquilized...

In April, P. Diddy’s Revolt Media announced plans for a “Hip Hop Summit,” with Diddy promising to “empower young people with sessions on the issues they care about.” “From entrepreneurship and economic empowerment to social justice, we’ll have the provocative conversations not happening anywhere else,” he added.
Sure enough, in a session that featured the rapper 2 Chainz and Coach K — who helped found the label Quality Control, known for breaking Migos, Lil Yachty, and Lil Baby — there was a brief-but-provocative detour into the cost of radio promotion.

Chuck Mead roars back with a blast of rocking honky-tonk, Erin Enderlin pours a potent whiskey and Cobie Caillat’s new band Gone West make their debut in this week’s list of the best country and Americana tracks.
Sam Williams, “Gemini”
Hank Williams Jr.’s 22-year-old son bridges the gap between astrology and Americana with this nuanced, nocturnal-sounding anthem about humans’ dual nature. “I’ve been a jailbird, I’ve been a scholar; turned a pure Catholic girl into the devil’s daughter,” he sings over stomp-clap percussion and a minor-key chord progression,...

Logic is more than a rapper — at least, that’s how he sees himself. This much became apparent on Tuesday, when he A) released Supermarket, his debut novel, which tells the story of a depressed 24-year-old deadbeat named Flynn who takes a job at a grocery store in his rural Oregon town, and B) released Supermarket (Soundtrack), the novel’s 13-track musical companion, which finds him diving headlong into the world of 1990s and 2000s alternative rock. The album begins inauspiciously, with a seven-minute stoner odyssey titled “Bohemian Trapsody.” [Find the book on co0319272 autoAmazon...

During Monday’s episode of “The Voice” Season 15, Adam Levine pitted gospel singer Jake Wells against rocker mom Natalie Brady in a battle to Semisonic‘s “Closing Time.” When the battle was over, Kelly Clarkson laughed that Jake reminded her of “Brad Pitt meets Kurt Cobain.” After debating about what to do, Adam finally admitted that he wanted to eliminate Natalie and keep Jake because Jake gave him better visions of what he can do in future rounds. Watch NBC’s “The Voice” battle video above and read the coaches’ comments below.

Just three weeks after stunning fans by releasing a video for “No Erasin'” from his surprise new solo album Traces, Steve Perry is sharing another video from the album. This time around it’s for “No More Cryin’,” a sad song about love and loss that was at least partially inspired by death of his girlfriend Kellie Nash in 2012.
“‘No More Cryin’ is a love song, but not in the way you would think,” Perry said in a statement. “It starts in one place, and builds and lands somewhere entirely different.

It’s been handled, Gladiators. “Scandal,” the primetime drama from Shonda Rhimes that made Kerry Washington‘s Olivia Pope and #Tgit famous, is finished for good.
The series creator and showrunner, who also penned the final episode “Over a Cliff,” confirmed that a possible revival in the future is Doa at a live table-read of the series finale script by members of the cast at the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood on Thursday night. “‘Scandal’ is finished,” said Rhimes. “I love everybody and would work with everybody again in a heartbeat, but ‘Scandal’ is finished.”
Tony Goldwyn, who played President Fitzgerald Grant III and Pope’s object of affection, echoed her sentiments. “I mean, who knows, but I think it ended. And it ended beautifully. It’s over,” Goldwyn told Variety.
Referencing “Hamilton,” Rhimes called the finale event to benefit the Actors Fund the “One Last Time” of “Scandal,” as...
