Jenny Lewis and Serengeti have released their third quarantine collaboration, “Idiot.” Produced by Lewis and Andrew Broder, the track features Lewis singing a hook over a hip-hop beat (“I’m an idiot/Forget oblivion/Joan Didion/Pacific Ocean blue”) while Serengeti raps a verse that, as he describes, is “about a man who gets knocked out by his mom’s boyfriend and then reconnects with his high school girlfriend.”

“These songs with Dave [Serengeti] start with a late-night feeling and access to — because of where we’re at right now in...

Netflix has acquired “Blue Miracle,” the Dennis Quaid film formerly known as “On the Line.”

Based on a true story, “Blue Miracle” centers on Casa Hogar, a Mexican orphanage that was struggling to survive after Hurricane Odile hit in 2014. On the brink of bankruptcy, the residents enter the world’s biggest fishing tournament in hopes of winning the prize money to save their home.

Along with Quaid, the cast includes Raymond Cruz, Anthony Gonzalez, Jimmy Gonzales, Dana Wheeler-Nicholson, Fernanda Urrejola and Bruce McGill.

The streaming service has not set a release date yet.

Julio Quintana, whose credits include the 2016 Martin Sheen drama “The Vessel,” directed the film. He also co-wrote the script with Chris Dowling.

Producers were Javier Chapa for Mucho Mas Media, Darren Moorman for Reserve Entertainment, Chris George for Redwood Ranch Productions, Ben Howard for Third Coast Content and Trey Reynolds for Provident Films. Provident Films co-financed the film with Endeavor Content.

As summer comes to a close and sweater season begins, many of us will start to incorporate baths into our routine — or stop taking showers altogether. Whether it’s a simple bath with warm water or additions that include bath bombs, salt, candles, books, or wine, baths are an ideal way to decompress from a long day. And these days most of us need to decompress more than ever. Just ask Alabama Shakes frontwoman Brittany Howard, who’s made a delightful hobby of it: “Some people meditate, some people go for runs,...

When trains were first introduced to Thailand in the 1890s, through a royal decree heard at the beginning of the documentary, they were seen as a step towards progress and prosperity, but instead, the train system remained frozen in time due to corruption and inefficient management. First time director Sompot Chidgasornpongse spent 8 years, from 2008 to 2016 shooting in various railways in the country, in order to present his trip from the North to the South of Thailand, with his camera sharing the images an actual passenger would witness inside the trains. At the same time, he explains the history of the railways in Thailand, through narration and a sort of an interview with a lines’ surveyor.

“Railway Sleepers” screened at Bertha DocHouse, as part of On The Line, a season focusing on films which traverse the railways of the world.

Mostly shot with a digital camera, particularly in the interior of the trains,...

Nature hasn’t always been pop music’s closest friend. Unlike unrequited love, coming of age, or escaping your hometown on the open road, songs about oak trees or daffodils or sunny mountain faces don’t tend to inspire the type of cathartic release we expect from our most beloved anthems.

That is, until this spring, when people across the world have been forced to remain indoors indefinitely as we ride out the worst of the global coronavirus pandemic. Almost overnight, three-minute songs about clean air or fresh water sources...

J. P Sniadecki collected footage from 2011 to 2013 on China’s humongous railway system, in order to present a film that uses everyday life inside the wagons to catch the essence of the modern Chinese society in the most realistic fashion.

“The Iron Ministry” screened at Bertha DocHouse on Monday, 28 August at 16:00, as part of On The Line, (25th – 28th August) a new season focusing on films which traverse the railways of the world.

The documentary is actually split into two parts. The first one shows a number of “episodes” occurring inside the wagons, which range from some almost grotesque sequences of people cutting meet and relieving carcasses of their feathers, to fairly “regular”, of individuals carrying huge bundles of merchandise to sell to their destination. This part is mostly silent, and has a distinct art-house feel, although the pace is faster than what is usual in such productions, as...

Jenny Lewis finds some perspective after the 2016 election on her new song, “Under the Supermoon,” featuring the Malian musician, Habib Koité.

The track will appear on the upcoming benefit album, Let the Rhythm Lead: Haiti Song Summit, Vol. 1, out January 31st from Artists for Peace and Justice via Arts Music.

“Under the Supermoon” finds Lewis recounting the immediate aftermath of the 2016 election. After the election, she set off for Haiti to partake in the song summit that produced Let the Rhythm Lead (the title itself is a nod to the...

From the dawn of his post-One Direction career, Harry Styles has exhibited quality taste in opening acts: His 2017 Live on Tour shows brought along Kacey Musgraves, Leon Bridges and Warpaint in various parts of the world.

That tradition extended to the recent announcement of his Love on Tour shows: Opening on all of Styles’ American tour dates next year will be Jenny Lewis, fresh off of the acclaim for this year’s On the Line.

“I’m so excited about it,” Lewis says from her current home base in Nashville.

Jenny Lewis took to the stage on The Tonight Show Wednesday night to perform “Rabbit Hole,” a cut off her latest album, On the Line.

The singer performed in a sparkly disco dress and a Sixties-style bump in her hair, singing repeatedly to a former suitor, “I’m not gonna go down the rabbit hole/With you, with you, with you again,” as she played her tambourine.

But as it turns out, maybe she would go down the rabbit hole again. Lewis’ “suitor” arrived onstage in the form of a giant pink bunny,...

Coco star Anthony Gonzalez and Dennis Quaid will star in real-life drama On the Line, along with Breaking Bad actor Raymond Cruz and Jimmy Gonzales.

On the Line is the true story of Casa Hogar, an orphanage teetering on the edge of foreclosure in Baja, Mexico. The story follows caretaker Omar Venegas, who devoted his life to raising the young boys with integrity, but after Hurricane Odile blows through, Casa Hogar is in danger of closing for good.

The Pilgrimage Music and Cultural Festival rebounded strong in 2019, following a tough 2018 when a large portion of the Franklin, Tennessee-based event was cancelled for heavy rainfall and flooding. Attendees coming out to Harlinsdale Farm September 21st and 22nd got dust and punishing heat instead, along with performances from the Foo Fighters, Keith Urban, the Killers, and Jenny Lewis, among others. From Dave Grohl’s guitar heroics to Jenny Lewis sequin-covered set, here are the best things we saw at Pilgrimage 2019.

Beck strips down his electro-folk single “Saw Lightning” to a bluesy howl in a new “Freestyle” version.

In a grainy black-and-white video, the singer-songwriter alternates between a belted vocal and distorted harmonica — accompanied only by his stomping feet. He speeds up and slows down at random, briefly slipping into a high falsetto.

The original “Saw Lightning” appears on Beck’s upcoming 14th LP, Hyperspace, which Capitol Records notes is due out “sometime in the future.” Pharrell Williams produced the song, contributing “drums, keyboards and mumbles” to the sleek cut.

Hyperspace will follow Beck’s 2017 record,...

Three Michael Jackson fan clubs in France have filed a lawsuit against Wade Robson and James Safechuck, the two men who accused the late pop star of sexual abuse in the HBO documentary Leaving Neverland.

The three organizations – Michael Jackson Community, Mj Street and On the Line – accused Robson and Safechuck of posthumously damaging Jackson’s reputation. While libel laws in the United States and the United Kingdom do not extend to deceased people, there are laws in France against the public denunciation of a dead person, The Associated Press reports.

Jenny Lewis and her band performed a whimsical “Wasted Youth” from her fourth solo album, On the Line, during The Late Show With Stephen Colbert on Monday. She and her seven-piece band wore matching outfits with flower crown-adorned skulls in front of a flower motif backdrop.

While the song’s title recalls themes of her own difficult childhood, the performance captures the playful side of being young. On a colorful upright flanked with two bright pink phones on display, Lewis played the jaunty melody buoyed by a string section. “Why are you lying?...

Jenny Lewis teamed up with California cultivators Glass House Farms for her very own handpicked weed strain. Named “The Rabbit Hole” after the final track on her recent album On the Line, the seeds were reportedly first distributed at a Grateful Dead show in 1991. The strain is described in a statement as “a light Sour Diesel sativa with 16.3% Thc content.”

Lewis’ new business venture follows other artists from Snoop Dogg to Willie Nelson. The Rabbit Hole is available for purchase at select Los Angeles dispensaries and Glass House Farms retail partners.

Beck recruited Pharrell Williams for the singer’s new track “Saw Lightning,” the first single off his upcoming new album Hyperspace. Beck and Williams co-wrote and co-produced the track, which melds the jangly acoustic guitar of Beck’s folksier work with the dancefloor-ready programmed beats prominent in his 2017 LP Colors; Williams also contributes, according to the song credits, “drums, keyboards and mumbles” to the track.

“Saw Lightning” also features as part of an upcoming Beats by Dre ad campaign helmed by Atlanta and “This Is America” director Hiro Murai.

Solange, When I Get Home

Solange carries her history like a talisman. It’s there to remind her — and us — how to remain grounded while moving forward. With When I Get Home, she pays tribute to her roots in Houston by presenting a therapeutic and transfixing scrapbook that seamlessly brings together the past and the future of her home. With 19 songs the clock in at under 40 minutes total, Solange’s tribute takes an unusual form. She offers brief but potent statements; over half the tracks are under three minutes and...

Jenny Lewis leads a wacky, A-list fundraiser in her new “Red Bull & Hennessy” video, goofing off with Beck, St. Vincent, My Morning Jacket’s Jim James, Jeff Goldblum, Jason Schwartzman, Haim’s Danielle Haim, Mac DeMarco, Tim Heidecker, Vanessa Bayer, David Arquette and Nikki Lane, among others.

Director Eric Notarnicola (Tim & Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!; Nathan For You; Who Is America?) documents Lewis’ February event “On the Line Online — The Three Hour Listening Party & Fundraiser,” which raised over $10,000 for the Los Angeles Downtown Women’s Center. He frames the...

“I believe that one can never leave home,” wrote Maya Angelou in Letter To My Daughter; “I believe that one carries the shadows, the dreams, the fears and the dragons of home under one’s skin, at the extreme corners of one’s eyes and possibly in the gristle of the earlobe.”

That said, there must be San Fernando Valley silt in Jenny Lewis’ lobes. The child SoCal film star came out as a singer-songwriter adept in the ‘00s with Rilo Kiley, flirted with Omaha’s indie scene for a hot minute,...

Jenny Lewis brought some classic country flare to Jimmy Kimmel Live Thursday, performing two new songs “Red Bull and Hennessy” and “Wasted Youth.”

Strapped with an acoustic guitar painted pink and blue, Lewis moved through the smoldering “Red Bull and Hennessy,” which captures the peaks of desire in a new relationship, then the ways they slowly disintegrate. “I’m on fire, c’mon and get next to me/I wanna ride with you,” Lewis sang before her guitarist launched into a mesmerizing closing solo.

Lewis then hopped behind an equally well-decorated piano for “Wasted Youth,...

Jenny Lewis’ stellar songwriting chops were visible back in 2001 on Takeoffs and Landings, the first LP by Rilo Kiley, the band she co-fronted with Blake Sennett. They’ve only grown stronger since — and as her take on the Traveling Wilburys’ “Handle With Care” proved, she’s got a way with covers, too. To give some context to On The Line, her fourth solo LP, here are some highlights, past to present.

“Pictures of Success” (Rilo Kiley, Take Offs and Landings, 2001) A sweetly chilling evocation of broke-ass despair cloaked in shaky optimism,...

Jenny Lewis has shared her new song “Wasted Youth,” the third single from the singer’s upcoming On the Line. Like the LP’s previous singles, Lewis taps into the classic Seventies singer-songwriter sound on “Wasted Youth,” a catchy rumination that echoes her own difficult childhood.

“Why are you lying?/The bourbon’s gone/Mercury hasn’t been in retrograde for that long, oh no/Stop your hiding and drop that bomb/Do you remember when I used to sing you this little song,” Lewis sings. “I wasted my youth...

Exclusive: ICM Partners said Thursday it has signed Lance Bass and his production company. The news comes ahead of the world premiere of the feature documentary The Boy Band Con: The Lou Pearlman Story at SXSW, on which Bass is an executive producer.

Boy Band Con, which will bow March 13 at the Paramount Theatre in Austin, centers on the rise and fall of Pearlman, the notorious record producer and convicted fraudster who was behind hit 1990s and early 2000s acts including Backstreet Boys, O-Town and Bass’ Nsync. It is slated to eventually premiere on YouTube.

Pearlman was convicted in 2008 for running a $300 million Ponzi scheme among other felonies and got a 25-year prison sentence. He died in 2016 at age 62.

Nsync sold more than 80 million records worldwide, led by its 2000 album No Strings Attached which sold a then-record 1.1 million copies in its first day of release.

There are 19 white stickers arranged across Jenny Lewis’ fridge. Each one carries a stamped date, the logo of Providence Holy Cross Medical Center, the word Visitor and, in Lewis’ handwriting, a different beguiling little phrase: I taught him how to 2-step; Rosey posey put your snake finger on; You are a sunshine in a fruit. “Every day that I visited my mom in the hospital,” Lewis says, “I’d get one of these and write down something she’d say to me. She got more and more psychedelic as we kept upping the meds,...

Jenny Lewis has issued a statement in response to the allegations of sexual misconduct and emotional abuse against Ryan Adams.

On Friday, the “Heads Gonna Roll” singer tweeted that she was “deeply troubled by Ryan Adams’ alleged behavior,” saying they had a “working relationship” and that she stands “in solidarity with the women who have come forward.”

I am deeply troubled by Ryan Adams’ alleged behavior. Although he and I had a working professional relationship, I stand in solidarity with the women who have come forward.

Jenny Lewis unveiled a stunning new breakup ballad, “Heads Gonna Roll,” from her forthcoming album, On the Line, out March 22nd via Warner Bros.

The piano-driven tune moves with a steady, country swing, while a swooning string arrangement and a blown-out organ solo provide differing, but equally affecting, forms of texture. Lewis delivers yet another mesmerizing vocal performance, helped along by her knife-sharp lyrics: “I hope the sycophants in Marrakesh/Make you feel your very best/Anonymity must make you blue.”

“Heads Gonna Roll” features Ringo Starr on drums, Don...

“What’s the matter with me?” Jenny Lewis sings on her latest single, “Redbull & Hennessy.” On her first solo offering since 2014’s The Voyager, Lewis offers a darkly suggestive tale of dissolution and desire. Riding a sparkling Seventies pop-rock piano riff, Lewis’ narrator second-guesses herself into a haze of liquor and regret.

Lewis has long been a master at juxtaposing candy-sweet melody with ominous narrative (see 2014’s “Head Underwater,” or Rilo Kiley’s classic 2014 “Portions for Foxes”), and her latest is no exception. Lewis’ bright vocal betrays an unadorned vulnerability...

Jenny Lewis explores unfulfilled desire on her alluring new song “Red Bull & Hennessy.” The track marks the first sample of her upcoming fourth solo LP, On the Line, out March 22nd via Warner Bros. Records.

The singer channels the groove of Fleetwood Mac’s “Dreams” throughout “Red Bull & Hennessy,” crooning over a steady, two-note bassline, rippling tremolo guitars and chiming piano melodies. “I’m about to be wicked/You got me lying on my back/Hallelu,” she sings. “All will be forgiven, but why you gotta act like that — make me beg for you?...

The recently-reunited boy band BBMak have set dates for both their first and tour and first album in 16 years. BBMak’s as-yet-untitled third LP will be released on April 26th. The group has not revealed much more information besides the fact that they are still in the studio “putting the finishing touches” on the new music. Their North American Back Here Tour — named for their 1999 hit song “Back Here” — will launch soon after in May. In support of their new album, the group launched a Pledge Music page which features exclusive items like vintage merch,...

Watching guitarist Billy Strings onstage is akin to observing a hummingbird in its natural state.

Strings’ fingers zoom up and down the fretboard of his acoustic in an intricate and calculated frenzy. The scene may appear haphazard at first, but he’s in complete control, determinedly chasing that cosmic moment of improvisation.

“I grew up playing bluegrass with my dad. That’s how I cut my teeth when I was a little kid, and how I learned how to play music. But I learned how to perform when I was in a metal band,...

Jenny Lewis will release her fourth solo LP, On the Line, in spring 2019 via Warner Bros. Records.

A Southwest Airlines employee became a passenger’s “light in the darkness” when she personally delivered luggage filled with important cancer-related items to her home in the middle of the night.

Sarah Rowan, a Southwest Airlines customer service agent at Pittsburgh International Airport, received a call the night of July 23. On the line was Stacy Hurt, who had just flown into Pennsylvania from Nashville to make it to her chemotherapy appointment the next morning. Hurt was worried because her luggage had not yet arrived, and Rowan explained that the bags were loaded on a previous flight she had booked which had been rerouted and canceled.

Since saying “Bye, Bye, Bye” in 2002, Justin Timberlake, Jc Chasez, Joey Fatone, Lance Bass and Chris Kirkpatrick have each built careers for themselves outside of ‘Nsync — the blockbuster boyband that brought them worldwide fame in the ’90s.

Though there aren’t plans for the group to get back together and make music any time soon, they’re still good friends — reuniting most recently in August for Chasez’s 40th birthday bash.

“The guys spent the entire night together,” a source told People at the time. “They all sat in a group and just reunited, relived and had such a ball.

Winston Churchill is having a moment. The iconic British prime minster was portrayed winningly by John Lithgow in the first season of “The Crown,” and later this year, Gary Oldman will play the leader in Joe Wright‘s “Darkest Hour.” Coming right in between the two is the simply named “Churchill.”

Directed by Jonathan Teplitzky (“The Railway Man“), the film sees Brian Cox stepping into the title role, playing the politician in his later years, who must grapple with the life and death decisions behind the D-Day landing at Normandy.

A salute to some of the brilliant and hard-hitting episodes in Steven Moffat's first TV series, the evergreen Press Gang...

Before River Song, Trenzalore and his take on The Doctor, before Sherlock fell off a building and provided multiple explanations, before James Nesbitt flipped out in a zoo in Jekyll, before Coupling, Joking Apart and Chalk, maybe even before he was known as The Moff, before all that came the quite brilliant Press Gang. Steven Moffat's first TV series, which he wrote all 42 episodes of, was based on an idea by his father, Bill Moffat. At its centre it had a brilliant will they/won't they relationship, and the epitome of a strong female character in Lynda Day. After 5 series it ended, but left behind so many quality episodes, which in trying to choose the stand out mind-blowers has been nigh on impossible. But for jolting,...
