“Working Class Hero” becomes a double cover on the forthcoming album The Faithful: A Tribute to Marianne Faithfull, out Dec. 8. The record was originally recorded by John Lennon in 1970, then covered by Faithfull in 1979 for her album Broken English. Now, it has been reimagined once again, this time by Cat Power and Iggy Pop.
“Marianne has lived a life!! She is a queen to all who know her, and all who adore her! Her framework of contributions to the world of music is unmistakable,” Cat Power shared in a statement.

Iggy Pop, Shirley Manson, and Cat Power are a few of the artists who’ve contributed to The Faithful: A Tribute to Marianne Faithfull, an upcoming covers compilation honoring the legendary English singer. Before it’s out in full December 8th, Tanya Donelly & The Parkington Sisters have shared their rendition of “This Little Bird.”
Also featuring fellow icons like Peaches, Lydia Lunch, Bush Tetras, Donita Sparks, and more, The Faithful is a benefit album that hits especially close to home: All profits will go directly to assist Faithfull as she recovers from long Covid. Donnelly and the Parkingtons do their forebear justice with their cover of “This Little Bird,” with layered vocal harmonies and delicate, complex string arrangements.
“Marianne’s voice has always been one of my favorite instruments, from childhood through today, and her music and spirit have been life-long inspirations,” Donnelly says in a press release. “I wanted...

Two years ago, Marianne Faithfull told Rolling Stone about her ongoing battle with Covid-19. “It’s terrible,” she said. “I got long-term Covid, where you get better from the virus, but you have leftover [symptoms]. Apparently, they now think that you do get better from long-term Covid; it’s not forever. That is good.”
To help Faithfull with mounting health costs, more than a dozen artists have recorded covers of songs for a benefit album, The Faithful: A Tribute to Marianne Faithfull, for her. Cat Power and Iggy Pop teamed to...

It’s late on a Friday afternoon and as the working week draws to a close, music supervisor Jen Malone is invigorated. The cause for celebration? An email she had been waiting for just arrived, marking the last clearance for a song to be used in the season finale of HBO’s “Euphoria.”
Malone’s needle drops for the music-heavy series helped make “Euphoria” a social-media phenomenon, trending on a weekly basis as two million-plus tune in. Those viewers are also holding their phones toward the screen with the Shazam app open, looking to capture every song.
Malone — who has been nominated for two Guild of Music Supervisors Awards, both in the same category: music supervision for film budgeted under $5 million, for “Malcolm & Marie” and “Zola” (alongside Nicole Weisberg and Mandi Collier) — spends Sunday evenings glued to HBO herself. And in a case of life meets art, she was...

After a bad breakup, some girls would call on their friends for consolation. Some would prefer the company of a total stranger, foraged from the local dive bar; others a pint of ice cream and Netflix. Elle King ordered three pianos to her home in Los Angeles.
“I was so manic,” she says. “One day I was like, ‘Here’s a fun game! How many pianos can I get delivered to the house in one day?’ And I got three fucking pianos.”
It’s a late-summer morning when King walks...

The first woman to top Billboard's Alternative Songs Chart in 17 years is a teen who goes by the stage name Lorde. Born Ella Yelich-o'Connor, Lorde is a 16-year-old New Zealand import poised to make it big stateside.
The teen phenom's breakout single "Royals" hit No. 1 on the Billboard Alternative Songs Chart this week, making her the first woman in 17 years to top the chart. While the chart saw a strong female presence in the '90s and representation from female-led groups in recent years, it hasn't been led by a woman since 1996 when Tracy Bonham's "Mother Mother" went No. 1 in June of that year. Bonham followed Alanis Morissette who took the No. 1 spot three times in the '90s with her songs "Ironic," "Hand in My Pocket," and "You Oughta Know," as well as tracks by Tori Amos and Sinead O'Connor, according to Billboard.

Ryan Murphy, Gwyneth Paltrow, Reese Witherspoon, and Cameron Diaz recently all got together over a hearty meal of flaxseed and silk, and along with helping them poop out shawls for their servants, the dinner also produced the idea for a movie musical called One Hit Wonders. Murphy will direct from a script by his Glee collaborators Brad Falchuk and Ian Brennan, with Paltrow, Witherspoon, and Diaz starring as three faded ‘90s pop stars who form a supergroup as a means for a comeback—sort of like when Tracy Bonham, Joan Osborne, and Rozalla got together for a band that played ...

Since I'm working from home this summer, I've discovered a few benefits and pitfalls to not having to go somewhere to do my job. Benefit: Work appropriate dress is whatever I feel like wearing or not wearing on that particular day. Pitfall: With no hard and fast schedule I've found it's very easy for me to hit 2 p.m. and go "Why am I dizzy? Oh, right, I haven't eaten yet." Similarly, I have a tendency to forget what day of the week it is. During the school year I have class and the regular TV series I watch to keep me on track. Summertime though? I haven't really found anything that's worthy of being appointment TV other than "Friday Night Lights" which the DVR records for me because I keep forgetting it's on. Anyway, here's Monday's TV:
8:00 p.m.: "The Bachelorette" on ABC.
"Kid in a Candy Store" on Food Network.

One of the great comeback tales of the past few years has been the one owned by Linda Perry, who rescued herself from one-hit-wonder obscurity to become a top collaborator with some of the biggest names in pop music (like Christina Aguilera, Alicia Keys and Gwen Stefani). Kris Allen is currently working with super-producers David Hodges (Kelly Clarkson, Daughtry), Salaam Remi (Amy Winehouse) and Claude Kelly (Leona Lewis, Akon), but here are five circa-’90s songwriters who Allen should draft into collaboration service.
