Three years ago, Margo Cilker was starting to struggle. “To paint the picture,” she says, “I was in a super-weird place.”
Living in rural Eastern Oregon, the singer-songwriter had spent the better part of the previous year trying to find a label to release Pohorylle, the debut album that she’d poured her heart into, but nothing was taking. She’d also been unable to tour for the past six months due to the pandemic, so Cilker was taking the time to reflect on it all: the years she’d...

The race for rock Grammys is especially tight this year. From first-time contenders to overdue veterans, let’s consider who’s out front in album categories when the gold is handed out on March 14.
SEEWho will win Grammys R&b categories? Don’t assume Beyonce is a lock
Best Rock Album
The Strokes (“The New Abnormal“) may have a big advantage here: they’ve been heavily overlooked by the Grammys, this being their first nomination ever after a long and impactful career in rock music. So voters might want to honor them now given the support their latest album had (strong reviews and a number-one bow in album sales) and after years of inexplicable snubs.
However, could their constant snubs mean that Grammy voters simply don’t like them that much? After all, not all their omissions over the years can be chalked up to the fickle nomination review committees.

It’s no secret that Netflix isn’t keeping around shows as long as they used to. “Fourth and final season” is becoming the weird norm, leading to shorter overall series lengths. So, if the laws of energy work the same for streaming shows — that hours of content can be neither created nor destroyed — where do things go next?
Netflix is still a programming beast, but in addition to series, films, and standup specials, there’s still room for its music-related projects to grow. “Springsteen on Broadway” premiered in the waning weeks of 2018 and Beyonce’s “Homecoming” arrived like a lightning bolt in April. Those marquee partnerships are unmistakable, but last month brought a less categorizable musical offering that deserves some attention, too.
Sturgill Simpson’s “Sound and Fury” is a visual album that’s a departure of sorts, even for an artist whose style has always leaned eclectic. Adding...

The days are getting shorter, the temperature is (theoretically) dropping, and the holidays are looming around the corner like Leatherface himself, so there’s no better time to revisit one of scariest shows in television history: NBC’s “Hannibal.”
Perhaps the most unlikely network drama of all time, what with its focus on fiction’s greatest villain, cannibalistic psychiatrist Hannibal Lecter and its commitment to creating lurid and macabre death tableaus, “Hannibal” aired a scant 39 episodes before concluding with its third and final season in 2015.
And while much was made at the time about the Bryan Fuller-crafted series being a better fit for, well, almost any other network, the truth of why “Hannibal” wasn’t a bigger hit with audiences is because the timing wasn’t quite right.
Now things might be different.

If you already were frustrated by the fugue state that comes with scrolling through Netflix trying to make a choice about what to watch – yeahhhh, that condition is about to get much, much worse. This fall brings the launch of two additional big-ticket streaming services from corporate titans you may have heard of before: Apple TV+ goes live next week on Nov. 1 with original programming for adults and children; and Disney+ goes live on Nov. 12 with, well, everything. Out of this onslaught of new shows, what is debuting this season that is worth spending your time and money on? We’re here to help. Here are IndieWire’s picks for what to watch this fall:

Not exactly a film as much as a prolonged music video, which actually accompanies Sturgill Simpson’s homonymous album, “Sound and Fury” manages, nevertheless, to be quite impressive as a spectacle.
The anime consists of various, mostly dystopian stories, including one of a scavenger of mementos from the street and another where a number of colored people are hunted by forces of evil as they try to survive. However, the one that truly steals the show is the initial one, which actually appears a number of times through the film.
In this case, two quite stylish villains in suits, one who uses poison and one a gun, attack a Buddhist monastery where they kill a number of monks brutally. A bit later, another individual who wears a futuristic samurai suit attacks the two men who seem to have become lords of some sorts, in a rather impressive action sequence that...
