Entering this place is like swimming into a vast, echoing cliff cave and, once my eyes adjust to the dark, finding it full of rock doves and black cormorants, on shadowy ledges, darting past. I’ve found a complete ecosystem. Five hundred people or more, a bloom of jellyfish, are drifting with the tide of music. | | | | | Old school.

| | rantnrave:// SCOTTISH writer AMY LIPTROT's account of going to BERGHAIN, four years after she last had a drink, took drugs or went to a dance club, is a gorgeous meditation on what it's like to be inside a club, and underwater, and lost, and unaware of time, and possibly undisturbed by gravity. She thinks about water a lot. She sees crabs and anemones inside that hallowed industrial space. She hears sounds differently. She feels landsick when she leaves. A beautiful read... This "60 MINUTES" piece about the music of inmates at a MALAWIAN prison is a beautiful, too, in a very different way... POTUS is a fan of KENDRICK LAMAR, CHANCE THE RAPPER, DRAKE and KANYE. Savor these next two and a half months, my fellow AMERICANS... AEROSMITH's JOEY KRAMER does not appear to be a fan of POTUS, and would prefer his band not suggest otherwise... JAY Z BOB DYLAN, you may be surprised to learn, finds it "amazing, incredible" that he's getting the NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE. "Whoever dreams about something like that?" he asks EDNA GUNDERSEN, who successfully tracked down a man the Nobel committee had trouble finding for a couple weeks. He's hoping to pick up his prize in person... Can you get your career back after a long, drawn-out battle with your label? BILLBOARD's GIL KAUFMAN ponders the futures of KESHA, JOJO and LIL WAYNE... Can you get your band back after years of distrust? It turns out MORRISSEY and MARR seriously considered reuniting THE SMITHS after meeting in a pub in 2008. "For four days it was a very real prospect," MARR writes in his upcoming memoir. "And then suddenly there was radio silence"... RIP CURLY PUTMAN. | | | - Matty Karas, curator |
