  • Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder, Oasis's Liam Gallagher Among Performers at Who Tribute Concert [WATCH]

    Last night, Nov. 11, rock legends The Who held their annual Teenage Cancer Trust benefit concert in London, featuring guest performances by Pearl Jam singer Eddie Vedder and former Oasis singer Liam Gallagher, among many others. According to "Rolling Stone," the evening was hosted by The Who frontman Roger Daltrey, though guitarist and lead songwriter Pete Townshend reportedly stayed home, with Daltrey saying the legendary guitarist would “rather do anything than hear his songs played back to him.” Liam Gallagher gave his first public performance since the break-up of his band Beady Eye three weeks ago, singing The Who’s 1965 hit “My Generation,” which he had frequently performed in concert with Oasis.

  • A$AP Ferg Shares 'This Side' Featuring YG [LISTEN]

    A$AP Ferg and YG's BestCoast Connection Tour kicks off tomorrow, Nov. 13, so it is only appropriate that they would record a new song together to celebrate. "This Side" features a highly repetitive trap beat courtesy of THE FAM, while both Ferg and YG deliver some brilliantly eccentric and nimble verses. You can check out A$AP Ferg and YG's "This Side" here: "Hot New Hip-Hop" points out that THE FAM's beat for "This Side" is pretty much identical to the beat in Danny Seth's "I Arise Because," produced by Ducko Mcfli and JGramm Beats, which is scandalous. You can check out Danny Seth's "I Arise Because" here and hear for yourself:

  • Bruce Springsteen Criticized for Singing 'Fortunate Son' at Concert for Valor [WATCH]

    Bruce Springsteen is finding himself in a bit of trouble this morning following his performance at the Concert for Valor, the free Veteran’s Day concert held on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. Along with Dave Grohl and Zac Brown, Springsteen performed a rendition of Creedence Clearwater Revival’s 1969 classic “Fortunate Son,” whose anti-war message rubbed plenty of people the wrong way, with many feeling it was an inappropriate song choice at a concert honoring our nation’s veterans. In an editorial on conservative website "The Weekly Standard," Ethan Epstein wrote that Springsteen, Grohl and Brown's performance of "Fortunate Son" was "tone deaf" and a "terrible choice given that [the song] is, moreover, an anti-draft song, and this concert was largely organized to honor those who had volunteered to fight in Afghanistan and Iraq." Plenty of viewers also took to Twitter — of course — to voice their outrage, which you can check out below:

  • 11 Great Albums With 11 Songs

    If you're obsessed with albums like I am, the number of songs in a tracklist has an inexplicable significance. While having 10, 12, or 15 tracks seems very neat and tidy, and having nine or less seems vaguely progressive, 11 tracks bursts with confidence, as if the artist had too many good songs for 10, but didn't want to pad it with 12. In honor of Nov. 11 (11/11!), here are the 11 best albums with 11 tracks.

  • Yo Gotti Shares '11/11' Produced by Infamous [LISTEN]

    Yo Gotti's upcoming studio album "The Art of Hustle" was originally promised for release today, Nov. 11, but if that does not end up happening, at least we have a new leak from the album, appropriately titled "11/11," which you can check out below. The Infamous-produced song features an eerie beat reminiscent of minimalist composers such as Philip Glass or Steve Reich, so this does not quite sound like your typical hip-hop track. You can check out Yo Gotti's "11/11" here: The Art of Hustle will be Yo Gotti's seventh studio album overall, his first since 2013's "I Am." Prior to "11/11," two other songs have also been shared from the album: "Errbody" and "I Feel Like" featuring Lil Boosie.

  • Ghostface Killah Announces New Album '36 Seasons,' Shares Single "Love Don't Live Here No More" [LISTEN]

  • Robyn & Kindness Share Low-Key "Who Do You Love?" Music Video [WATCH]

    British electronic artist Kindness has collaborated with Swedish pop singer Robyn for his "Who Do You Love?" music video, which you can check out below. The Daniel Brereton-directed clip simply features a number of black-and-white video portraits of various friends and family members of Kindness and Robyn, as well as the artists themselves. The only bit of actual performance in the video comes from Robyn, who lip-synchs the chorus whenever it comes up, but no other part of the song.
