  One year ago, when COVID lockdown in the UK began, Charlatans frontman Tim Burgess started hosting listening parties of classic albums where the artists who made them live-tweeted stories about them, track by track, as we listened to the album. Things kicked off March 23, 2020 with The Charlatans' debut, Some Friendly, and the series grew quickly; during the height of the pandemic there were as many as five listening parties happening in a single day, with the likes of Paul McCartney, Talking Heads, The Smiths, Kylie Minogue, The Breeders, Michael Kiwanuka, Kurt Vile, New Order, Joy Division, Blur, Oasis, Pulp, Belle & Sebastian, Cocteau Twins, Sleaford Mods, Madness, The Pogues, My Bloody Valentine, and many, many more.

• Lil Durk Previews Lil Baby Collab Snippet

  Collab albums are like promises to chill made to an acquaintance met in passing -- one has to see it actually manifest in order to believe it. Countless times have rappers spoken of having 'entire albums' with other rappers, though in reality, those albums seldom come to fruition. True, there was that one time in 2017 when collaborative albums flourished like never before, but things have admittedly slowed down since then. Therefore, when Lil Durk and Lil Babybegan teasing an upcoming joint project, many met the announcement with cautious optimism.Read Full StoryBaby Collab SnippetCelebritiesMusicCollab AlbumsRappersSongCollaborationThingsTimePromisesStreet LifeOptimismCountless TimesGriffinLil DurkLil Baby

• ALBUM REVIEW: Xiu Xiu shuffles uplift and agony on atmospheric ‘OH NO’

  Known for fidgety experimentalism and crabby lyrics, San Jose’s Xiu Xiu would not win a lifetime achievement award for cheerfulness. Nevertheless, the group has often channeled a certain joy of noise. Unbound by genre, Xiu Xiu unwinds nervous energy, creating songs that land halfway between accessible and off-putting. On their new duets album, OH NO, Xiu Xiu parades a series of guest artists and indulges ethereal impulses.Read Full StoryXiu XiuExperimental MusicUpliftAtmosphericParadesSong LyricsMusical ArtistsClassic AlbumsDeerhoofJapaneseAbstract Pop SongsCrabby LyricsChorusDuetsVocalsGreg SaunierAlice BagChelsea WolfeSharon Van Etten
