The 26-year-old Memphis trap star, known for his raw street storytelling and aggressive beats, was released from federal prison on October 6, 2025, after serving three years of a 63-month sentence. During incarceration, Pooh Shiesty focused on personal growth—building a workout routine, daily reading for sharper focus, temper control, emotional maturity, and a deeper spiritual connection. Now sober and grounded, he views this as his "second chance" with clearer vision.His post-release single "FDO" (First Day Out), dropped December 12, 2025, produced by longtime collaborator TP808s, celebrates freedom and perseverance. The introspective yet confident track blends classic Shiesty aggression with matured lyricism, earning praise from XXL and Pitchfork as a fiery, authentic return. With "Back in Blood" ft. Lil Durk now 8× Platinum and surging streams (over 6M monthly Spotify listeners), Pooh Shiesty confirmed an upcoming album in a recent Apple Music interview with Ebro Darden—expected soon, channeling prison lessons, faith, and real-life experiences under Gucci Mane's mentorship. Analytic Dreamz breaks down why this redemption arc makes Pooh Shiesty one of hip-hop's most watched stories into 2026.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/analytic-dreamz-notorious-mass-effect/donationsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

The band Air is a duo from Versailles, France. Their first EP came out in 1995, followed by their critically acclaimed debut album, ‘Moon Safari,' which was an international hit. Then they made the music for the film ‘The Virgin Suicides,‘ which was written and directed by Oscar-winner Sofia Coppola, based on the novel by Jeffrey Eugenides. The movie came out in 1999, and it was Sofia Coppola's first film. An album version of Air's score came out in 2000, and it was nominated for a Brit award. Pitchfork put it at number four on their list of the best film scores of all time. In addition to the instrumental music that appears in the movie, Air also wrote a song for the end credits called “Playground Love.” That song featured Sofia Coppola's future husband, Thomas Mars, from the French band Phoenix, on vocals. Phoenix was still a very new band, and he and Sofia hadn't even met yet. Thomas appears on the song under the name Gordon Tracks. So for this episode, I spoke to all of them: Nicolas and JB from Air; Sofia Coppola; Thomas Mars; as well as Brian Reitzell, the music supervisor of the film.For more info, visit songexploder.net/air.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for December 17, 2025 is: espouse • ih-SPOWZ • verb To espouse an ideology, belief, etc., is to take it up and support it as a cause. Espouse is usually encountered in formal speech and writing. // The article explores some of the lesser-known viewpoints espoused by the charismatic leader. See the entry > Examples: “Crammed into a tiny apartment in Greenwich Village, they [Yoko Ono and John Lennon] immersed themselves in the city's counterculture, absorbing progressive politics whenever they weren't glued to the television set. Lennon's celebrity secured the duo a large platform to espouse these ideas ...” — Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Pitchfork, 11 Oct. 2025 Did you know? As you might guess, the words espouse and spouse are hitched, both coming from the Latin verb spondēre, meaning “to promise” or “to betroth.” In fact, the two were once completely interchangeable, with each serving as a noun meaning “a newly married person” or “a partner in marriage” and also as a verb meaning “to marry.” Their semantic separation began when the noun espouse fell out of use. Nowadays, espouse is almost exclusively encountered as a verb used in the figuratively extended sense “to commit to and support as a cause.”

In this week's episode, Steph delivers a fiery hot take that's been brewing all year: the dangerous trend of "pitchfork marketing" and how it's keeping brilliant women small, scared, and self-doubting.If you've ever seen successful coaches torn apart online, called "scammers" or "predatory" simply for charging premium prices, this episode will hit home. Steph breaks down how this anti-coach rhetoric has become an attention strategy that ironically does more harm than the "predators" it claims to expose.This conversation is a must-listen if you've ever thought:"Am I charging too much? What if people think I'm a scam?" "Maybe I should lower my prices so I don't upset anyone." "I don't want to end up getting canceled."Steph shares her own costly experience of shrinking back from a $80K job because she fell for this narrative, and why 2026 needs to be the year we stop telling women to stay small.______________________ Year on the Wall 2026 Traininghttp://yearonthewall.com/Free Sales Training: 3 Simple Steps to Make a Sale in 24 hours https://stephcrowder.com/sdsclass Join the Sold Out Group Programs Mastermind Waitlist https://stephcrowder.com/sogp Connect with Steph Instagram: @heystephcrowder

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for December 6, 2025 is: sensibility • sen-suh-BIL-uh-tee • noun Sensibility is a formal word often used in its plural form to refer someone's personal or cultural approach to what they encounter, as in “the speaker made sure to tailor his speech to the sensibilities of his audience.” Sensibility can also be used for the kind of feelings a person tends to have in general, as well as for the ability to feel and understand emotions. // Many older cartoons feel out of line with modern sensibilities. // She brought an artistic sensibility to every facet of her life, not just her celebrated painting. See the entry > Examples: “[Lady] Gaga's absurdist sensibilities have long been an underrated facet of her work—probably because she's so good at delivering them with a straight face.” — Rich Juzwiak, Pitchfork, 10 Mar. 2025 Did you know? The meanings of sensibility run the gamut from mere sensation to excessive sentimentality, but we're here to help you make sense of it all. In between is a capacity for delicate appreciation, a sense often pluralized. In Jane Austen's books, sensibility is mostly an admirable quality she attributes to, or finds lacking in, her characters: “He had ... a sensibility to what was amiable and lovely” (of Mr. Elliot in Persuasion). In Sense and Sensibility, however, Austen starts out by ascribing to Marianne sensibleness, on the one hand, but an “excess of sensibility” on the other: “Her sorrows, her joys, could have no moderation ... she was everything but prudent.”

In this episode of Shoving Wilco, Todd sits down with returning guest Saby Reyes-Kulkarni (PopMatters, Pitchfork, SPIN, Billboard) to unpack the artistic surge happening around Jeff Tweedy's new triple album and unexpectedly expansive solo tour. What began as a side project now feels like a fully realized creative chapter — one defined by intimacy, vulnerability, sharper storytelling, and a renewed spark onstage.If Jeff's recent work has felt different to you — deeper, looser, funnier, more immediate — this episode gives language to that feeling.Have a topic idea for the show?

Listen to a special episode celebrating National Native American Heritage Month. Learn how Native American musicians are reinventing traditional culture in the 21st Century, featuring interviews with the experimental pow wow group Medicine Singers, and the hip-hop artist Supaman.  Medicine Singers is a Native American musical collective that blends traditional Indigenous music with modern experimental genres like electronic, ambient, and psychedelic rock. Their self-titled debut album, released in 2022, was met with critical acclaim for its innovative approach to preserving and revitalizing Indigenous music. Pitchfork described Medicine Singers as “a storm rolling through, alerting the senses and picking up speed,” and The New Yorker praised Medicine Singers for “detonating cultural walls."  Supaman is a Native American rapper, dancer, and activist known for blending hip-hop with traditional Indigenous music and culture. Born in the Crow Nation in Montana, Supaman uses his platform to raise awareness about Native American issues. Supaman's work blends activism with art, using his music as a vehicle for social change and to honor his heritage.

Q is back, and the guys break down their perfect pod day from the moment they wake up to the moment the mics go off, revealing routines, dream guests, and the kind of chaos they'd allow in the studio. They map out their ideal recording setups (2:51), and debate live audiences, surprise athlete pull-ups, Kendrick Lamar drop-ins, and whether baddies or bagels make for better ambiance (9:46). The conversation shifts into how each of them consumes music—relatability vs. believability vs. pure enjoyment (15:33)—before they go album-by-album through Pitchfork's "Top 25 Rap Albums" list and rebuild it from scratch (24:18). From Yeezus being thrown off the board to the absence of Pac, DMX, Nicki, and Wayne (33:13), they examine generational bias, regional representation, and why MF DOOM has a cult following (35:28). The episode closes with a deep dive on Kendrick's rise, whether "the machine" helped him, and what separates his career arc from his peers (54:52).

On this week's Talkhouse Podcast we've got two Canadian songwriter/performers with similar outlooks but pretty different results—both great. It's Ada Lea and No Joy. Though it used to be more of a band, No Joy has become the solo province of Jasamine White-Gluz in recent years. She just released the first No Joy record in five years, Bugland, and it's a whiplash-inducing delight. There's an undercurrent of classic shoegaze, but no limits on where else things can go. So one minute you've got nods to ‘90s bands like Curve or even Garbage, the next minute the guitars are grunting and crunching. Bugland, which recently got the Best New Music nod from Pitchfork, was created with help from Chicago producer/musician Fire-Toolz, and the collaboration was fruitful. It's funny, because it doesn't sound at all like music that would be made by somebody who recently moved to a positively rural area—they chat about that move in this episode. Check out the title track from Bugland right here. The other half of today's chat is Alexandra Levy, who records more spare songs than her friend under the name Ada Lea. Where No Joy takes a more kitchen-sink approach, Ada Lea leaves more breathing room, sometimes adding just touches of acoustic color to her voice. The third Ada Lea album, When I Paint My Masterpiece, also came out earlier this year, and its unfussy, live-in-a-room approach makes it feel engagingly up-close and personal, not to mention beautiful. Check out “Baby Blue Frigidaire Mini Fridge” right here. In this engaging chat, Levy and White-Gluz talk about living largely off the grid, the various mini-scenes that populate their home country, and a little bit of astrology. Enjoy.

On this episode of Combo's Court, battle rap legend Cortez stops by for a wild crossover of hoops, hip hop, and controversy. Combo kicks things off by confronting Cortez over his IG comments comments directed at Combo — sparking a Cade Cunningham vs. Jalen Brunson debate and a full breakdown of the East's elite guards. The conversation jumps into Wemby's leap, from dunking on Draymond to bullying defenders with a whole new level of confidence. Combo and Cortez talk about what's changed in his game, why he's playing through contact, and whether this version of Wemby could make the Spurs a surprise contender — or even land him in the MVP race. From there, the two dive into the Pitchfork Top 100 Hip-Hop Albums list, breaking down the biggest snubs, battle rap truths, and who really belongs in hip-hop's album all-time rankings.

Rye Coalition came out of Jersey City in the early nineties and quickly built a reputation as one of the most fearless and inventive bands in the post-hardcore world. They toured with heavyweights like Queens of the Stone Age, Foo Fighters, and The (International) Noise Conspiracy, earned praise from outlets including Spin, Pitchfork, and The Village Voice, and worked with legendary producers Steve Albini and Dave Grohl. Their documentary "Rye Coalition: The Story of the Hard Luck 5" became a cult favorite, cementing their status as one of the most underrated but widely respected bands of their era. Loud, chaotic, swagger-filled, and always a little dangerous, they were the group other musicians whispered about as a secret influence. If you know, you know. I got Ralph on the Zoom and this is what we chatted about: John Hiltz Gern Blandsten Records What bands inspired their live show Did their music stand for anything?

Hey EIChihuahuas, happy Friday! To celebrate, we gift you a brand new episode, kisses.This week on the podcast it's just Oenone & Beth steering the content ship through the choppy waters of: The Real Housewives of London, the biblical new release from Rosalía, & a controversial new celebrity skincare line.First... Real housewives of London premiered this summer, with many curious as to how this beloved show would fare across the Atlantic. The series follows eight women navigating London's ultra-wealthy social circles, balancing old money, new money, & country piles. There's glamorous events, designer drama, & class tensions with the expected Housewives mix of alliances, gossip, & fallouts. The series sees the women get into blows over some dubious dentistry aka teeth-gate, renting outfits, not picking up the bill & the definition of ‘best friend'. We share our thoughts on the series & the explosive two-parter reunion.Next up, on November 6 Pretty Little Liars star Shay Mitchell launched a new line of sheet masks for children. Everyone's writing about it from Glamour, to Marie Claire, The New York post & The Metro, & not an insignificant number of you guys in our DMs, too. So is this a dystopian nightmare, or just a bit of harmless fun that's been blown out of proportion?And last but by no means least, an album hotly anticipated globally, but also very much on this podcast, & that is LUX, the fourth record by Spanish singer and songwriter Rosalía. According to Pitchfork it's “a heartfelt offering of avant-garde classical pop that roars through genre, romance, and religion”. The BBC called it “radical and riveting” & NME said it's “an arresting album of astonishing scope and ambition”. The 33 year old, who is a trained Flamenco singer, sings in 13 different languages on the album, including Japanese, Arabic, Portuguese, Latin and Sicilian, and worked for a year writing the lyrics and working with professional translators to make sure they were just right. It is receiving an avalanche of five star reviews for artistry, composition, narrative, lyrics. The album is now out, we've both listened to it... We're by no means musical experts, but we give our thoughts.Thank you so much to Cue podcasts for the edit.Beth's been loving: Shirley Valentine, The Missing KayakerOenone's been loving: Loren Ipsum, Andrew GallixReal Housewives Of LondonShay Mitchell statement on RiniWhat Dermatologists Really Think About Sheet Masks for Toddlers - Rosalía Has Biggest Streaming Debut of Any Female Spanish-Language Artist on Spotify love ya O, R, B xx Hosted on Acast.

Lily Allen's viral new album, West End Girl, digs deep. It catalogs the unraveling of her marriage and the deeper pain that lives between the lines of her lyrical prose. This isn't tabloid fodder—it's what Pitchfork called her most “brutally candid” work, a rare space where a woman can hold an abuser, a system, and her own art in the same frame.While Allen insists the record is “fictionalized,” it's unmistakably laced with real life—even with the unavoidable layer of my own parasocial projection. The title track name-drops the couple's designer—“Found ourselves a good mortgage / Billy Cotton got sorted”—a pointed nod to their now-infamous Architectural Digest home tour, which, in hindsight, aged about as gracefully as Harbour's opening “bit,” greeting the camera crew like a mistress at the door. (Iconic, for all the wrong reasons…and very worth the watch. Psst. All relevant links are down at the bottom!)With almost no pre-launch marketing, the album shot up the charts, hailed by Variety, The New Yorker, and countless fans as her best work yet. (Personally, I've been devoted since her early-2000s protest anthem “Fuck You,” written about George W. Bush.) Still, West End Girl took over my social feed overnight. Yours too, maybe? This is because it touches something deeper than celebrity gossip or divorce voyeurism.Those of us who have spent years minimizing our needs, over-explaining our emotions in an attempt to have them recognized, or trying to contort ourselves into palatable versions of dominant cultural scripts feel a shock of recognition in every song. Allen articulates the quiet grief of being gas-lit into gratitude for crumbs.West End Girl isn't just about Lily Allen and David Harbour—it's about the way patriarchy teaches women to negotiate with our own erasure to serve the agenda of systems of oppression. She's writing from the same ache that so many of us have been metabolizing privately for generations: the manipulation, the gaslighting, the subtle minimizations that we stomach under the guise of love in an attempt to find it/have it/keep it.And that's exactly what the cultural moment is naming out loud. As Vogue recently asked in its viral essay, “Is It Embarrassing to Have Boyfriends Now?”, there's a growing recognition that heterosexual love has long demanded women trade dignity for proximity. Asa Serasin even coined a word for this in 2019—heterofatalism, or the idea that heterosexual relationships are doomed to fail, because women are too often expected to shrink our brilliance, temper our boundaries, and laugh off harm to keep men comfortable.Enter Left Standing: The PodcastI actually recorded the first episode of my new podcast, Left Standing, before West End Girl dropped—but they're part of the same conversation, and I knew I had to discuss them as such.The show is about the reclamation of our narratives: the language, myths, and cultural scripts that have been rewritten and manipulated to serve the false ideals of systems of oppression. In episode one we will trace the etymology of words like gossip (originally meaning “god-sib,” a woman who stands by you in difficult times), and hysteria (from hystera, the womb). We will also discuss the way in which patriarchy rewrites myth, starting with my favorite goddess, the true, often-erased story of Medusa—a survivor punished for being violated.The first episode unpacks these histories and the lineage of tone-policing that still shapes how we hear women like Lily Allen: as “dramatic,” “unladylike,” or “sharing too much.” In it, I quote Melissa' Febos' book Body Work: The Radical Power of Personal Narrative. She writes:Listen to me: It is not gauche to write about trauma. It is subversive. The stigma of victimhood is a timeworn tool of oppressive powers to gaslight the people they subjugate into believing that by naming their disempowerment they are being dramatic, whining, attention-grabbing, or else beating a dead horse. By convincing us to police our own and one another's stories, they have enlisted us in the project of our own continued disempowerment.Because when survivors tell the truth, someone will call it embarrassing, dramatic, attention-grabbing, unnecessary, not lady-like, or a lie.And every time we tell it anyway, we reclaims our power—and gives others permission to do the same.As this is our first episode, your shares, comments, likes and subscribes mean OH SO much to me!Details and resources below!Thank you Jacquline Burtney for designing this!

Rochelle Jordan is a Canadian singer whose new record, “Through The Wall,” was recently named one of the best new albums by Pitchfork. It explores the roadblocks she's dealt with in her career after years of self-doubt and insecurity. Rochelle joins Tom Power to talk about bouncing back from that, fighting as a Black artist to make pop music, and how her new album pays tribute to her brother.

In this edition of our arts24 music show, Jennifer Ben Brahim chats with Rebecca Lucy Taylor, aka Self Esteem. She's one of the UK's most exciting breakout stars of the last decade, with Grammy and Mercury nominations under her belt. Her music is a mix of bold, genre-blending pop and razor-sharp lyrics. She's also an actress, with roles including Sally Bowles in the West End production of "Cabaret". Self Esteem's third album "A Complicated Woman" is her most theatrical and truthful record to date, exploring the complexities of womanhood – from burnouts to depression to sexuality. She's currently on a European tour, with a stop at Paris's Pitchfork festival.

Jude Noel is a music journalist and critic whose work has appeared in Pitchfork, The Fader, and Bandcamp Daily. In his recent Bandcamp feature, “Indy Is Next,” Jude shines a spotlight on Indianapolis's growing independent music scene, tracing the city's creative energy through its artists, venues, and DIY communities. He writes that Indianapolis's “best artists braid genres and influences in bizarre yet satisfying ways, chasing creative whims rather than trends. Bands share members and ideas, generating sounds that feel out of time and tough to categorize.” WFYI's Kyle Long recently spoke with Noel to learn more about his work as a music journalist.

"Who tf is JJ Fad?"The internet broke when Pitchfork dropped their Top 100 Hip-Hop Albums list - and we have THOUGHTS.This week on The Record Report, we dissect one of the most controversial music ranking lists in recent memory. From Snoop Dogg's "Doggystyle" placement sparking outrage to the glaring Southern hip-hop representation issues, we break down what these lists get right, what they get catastrophically wrong, and why publications keep rage-baiting music fans.The Pitchfork Problem: Why do music publications create lists designed to provoke rather than celebrate? We analyze the methodology behind controversial rankings and whether commercial success should matter in evaluating greatness.Southern Hip-Hop Erasure: The chronic underrepresentation of Southern artists in "definitive" hip-hop lists and why this regional bias persists in music criticism.Kanye's "Yeezus" Legacy: How this polarizing album became the blueprint for modern rage rap, influencing everyone from Travis Scott to Playboi Carti and reshaping hip-hop's sonic landscape.Jay-Z's Placement Debate: Is Hov properly represented in hip-hop history? We examine his catalog's impact and whether critics undervalue his contributions.The Glaring Omissions: From Mobb Deep's "The Infamous" to other timeless classics, we highlight the essential albums these lists consistently overlook.Young Thug's Return: Breaking down Thugger's recent comeback, the cultural conversations around his legal battles, and what his story reveals about the current state of hip-hop.Modern Hip-Hop Evolution:How streaming transformed music consumption and artist developmentThe death and resurrection of regional soundsWhy physical music sales might make a comebackThe future of authenticity in hip-hop cultureRap Feuds & Technology: From ghostwriting controversies to AI's influence on music creation, we examine how technology is transforming hip-hop's creative process and competitive landscape.Gender Dynamics: The complex conversations around masculinity, representation, and power structures in contemporary hip-hop.This episode delves into the albums, artists, and cultural forces that have shaped hip-hop's past, present, and future.

Today, the Spotlight shines On writer Chris O'Leary.Chris has spent over a decade and a half writing what's become the definitive study of David Bowie's songbook. His blog, Pushing Ahead of the Dame, covers every song on every album in Bowie's extensive canon. The first post from 2009 covers David's first single, 1964's “Liza Jane”, and the most recent is about Chris's latest work, a newly revised edition of Rebel Rebel, a collection of his writings on Bowie songs from 1963 - 1976. Chris has written for Pitchfork, Slate, and Billboard, and he's currently working on an online project called 64 Quartets, a series exploring musical quartets across genres.I previously booked Chris back in 2021 to speak at the Bowie 75 pop-up I produced in New York City. There, he presented on Bowie and Brian Eno's 1995 album Outside.Chris is here to discuss his updated book, what new archival releases have taught us about Bowie's creative process, and why he chose the blog format to tackle one of music's most ambitious projects.If you are interested in more of our episodes touching on the life and work of David Bowie, check out last week's episode with Donny McCaslin, 2022's episode with Chris Duffy, or 2021's episode with David Whitehead.–Dig DeeperChris O'Leary's blog "Pushing Ahead of the Dame"Rebel Rebel: The Songs of David Bowie, 1963-1976 (revised edition, July 2025)Ashes to Ashes: The Songs of David Bowie, 1976-2016Repeater BooksDig into this episode's complete show notes at spotlightonpodcast.com–• Did you enjoy this episode?

Chris DeVille wrote the book on the indie rock boom (Such Great Heights: The Complete Cultural History of the Indie Rock Explosion), but before he became a self-confessed "indie snob" he was a willing listener of Christian rock. In this conversation we discuss the influence of Pitchfork on musical tastes and how specific signifiers could have an outsized impact on critical coverage in the blog era. Artists discussed include 4Him, Stavesacre, Sufjan Stevens, Pedro The Lion, Cameron Winter, Neutral Milk Hotel and, of course, Carman. ---Register for Theology Beer Camp with our promo code RTDR for $75 off.Do you have a Christian rock story to tell?

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for September 14, 2025 is: perpetuity • per-puh-TOO-uh-tee • noun Perpetuity refers to a state of continuing forever or for a very long time. // The property will be passed on from generation to generation in perpetuity.   See the entry > Examples: “This isn't new territory for the band—beginning with 2018's Modern Meta Physic, Peel Dream Magazine have taken cues from bands like Stereolab and Pram, exploring the ways that rigid, droning repetition can make time feel rubbery. As they snap back into the present, Black sings, ‘Millions of light years, all of them ours.' The past and future fold into themselves, braided together in perpetuity.” — Dash Lewis, Pitchfork, 4 Sept. 2024 Did you know? Perpetuity is a “forever” word—not in the sense that it relates to a lifelong relationship (as in “forever home”), but because it concerns the concept of, well, forever. Not only can perpetuity refer to infinite time, aka eternity, but it also has specific legal and financial uses, as for certain arrangements in wills and for annuities that are payable forever, or at least for the foreseeable future. The word ultimately comes from the Latin adjective perpetuus, meaning “continual” or “uninterrupted.” Perpetuus is the ancestor of several additional “forever” words, including the verb perpetuate (“to cause to last indefinitely”) and the adjective perpetual (“continuing forever,” “occurring continually”). A lesser known descendent, perpetuana, is now mostly encountered in historical works, as it refers to a type of durable wool or worsted fabric made in England only from the late 16th through the 18th centuries. Alas, nothing is truly forever.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for September 10, 2025 is: griot • GREE-oh • noun The term griot refers to any of a class of musician-entertainers of western Africa whose performances include tribal histories and genealogies. The term is also used broadly to refer to a storyteller. // Tracing her family lineage back to West African griots inspired the singer to focus on storytelling through her music. See the entry > Examples: “Music is both the subject and mechanism of Sinners, which opens with a voiceover history of how some musicians, dating back to the West African griots, have been seen as conduits between this world and the one beyond.” — Paul A. Thompson, Pitchfork, 22 Apr. 2025 Did you know? In many West African countries, the role of cultural guardian is maintained, as it has been for centuries, by griots. Griot—a borrowing from French—refers to an oral historian, musician, storyteller, and sometimes praise singer. (Griots are called by other names as well: jeli or jali in Mande and gewel in Wolof, for example). Griots preserve the genealogies, historical narratives, and oral traditions of their tribes. Among the instruments traditionally played by griots are two lutes: the long-necked, 21-string kora, and the khalam, thought by some to be the ancestor of the banjo.
