Frankie Cosmos have returned with the announcement of their new album, Different Talking, out June 27th via Sub Pop. As a preview, they’ve shared the lead single, “Vanity,” and its accompanying music video. Stream it below.

For the band’s sixth LP, lead singer, guitarist, and songwriter Greta Kline was joined by longtime collaborators Alex Bailey, Katie Von Schleicher, and Hugo Stanley. The quartet produced Different Talking entirely by themselves. Pre-orders are ongoing.

“We’d go to any length to get Greta’s songs right, and she’s generous with songs, so we have a lot of freedom to arrange them,” Von Schleicher said in a statement. “It’s a rare talent to have, with rare freedom given, and the course hasn’t changed.”

Lead single “Vanity” exemplifies this spirit of collaboration and meticulous approach to songwriting while capturing “this push and pull between adult and kid, government and governed,...

Back before he became the hunky A-lister we all now know him as, Ben Affleck was playing the son of a small-town football coach on a short-lived television show, working alongside Blake Lively's sister. Wait...what? Yes, you heard that right. Affleck may have had an on-screen romance with Blake in their 2010 film The Town, but nearly 20 years before that, he played Robyn Lively's brother on the 1993 TV series Against the Grain. In fact, Blake's older sister took to Instagram to share the hilarious evidence. Sharing a photo with hand-drawn arrows to point out Affleck and herself, Robyn explained: "Before #BenAffleck was hookin up with my cracked out sis @blakelively in #thetown he...

While it's true that Ben Affleck is no stranger to mockery from the press, this time even I feel bad for the actor, because his past has come back to haunt him ... again. Now let's all go back to 1994, where a young actor by the name of Ben Affleck had scored a few roles (uncredited and otherwise) in teen flicks like School Ties and Buffy The Vampire Slayer. But it wasn't until he took on the role of the school bully O'Bannion in Richard Linklater's love letter to the '70s, Dazed and Confused, that his career was poised to take off. Unfortunately, there were some lean times after Dazed, and other than a few episodes on the football drama Against the Grain on NBC, the offers weren't exactly rolling in (and a guy's got to eat, right?). Well, thanks to the wonders of the Internet, we now get...
