broad-citymapresize.jpgYou know how you're always sitting around your boring apartment wishing that you could join Abbi and Ilana on an awesome adventure around New York City? (No? Just me?) Well, with this helpful map, you can now visit all of the IRL establishments that correspond to the semi-fictional places in Broad City from season two. You can go to the same grimy nail salon that Ilana and her mom like frequent, Bed Bath & Beyond, of course, and even that treasure trove of a manhole that harbors the best knockoff bags in town.

Passion Pit Hit Up a Rave In Their New Video, "Lifted Up (1985)"

0
0

Passion Pit has a new album coming out next month, Kindred, and today we get another taste of what to expect with the video for their track, "Lifted Up (1985)." The song is peak Passion Pit -- lots of shimmery synths, lots of lead singer Michael Angelakos' signature falsetto, and a bouncy, pop-heavy beat. The accompanying clip is similarly uptempo, showing Angelakos walking around a big club. But it's the lyrics and Angelakos himself that give off more depth -- despite the peppiness of it all, the frontman sings things like, "I'm so tired. I fight so hard" while looking befuddled and disconnected in the midst of all the dancing rave kids. At the risk of reading into this too much, the song seems to echo the juxtaposition between Angelakos' recent, open struggles with bipolar disorder and substance abuse and his successful, whirlwind music career. It's a career that's apparently once more in flux -- Pitchfork reports that all of Angelakos' Passion Pit bandmates quite the group after they wrapped touring for 2012's Gossamer; for this go-round, Angelakos will go on tour with a whole new backing band. While we hope that all goes well for Passion Pit 2.0, at least they'll still get people dancing.

Kindred is out April 28th via Columbia.

Run the Jewels' Powerful New Video Depicts a Fight Between a Cop and an Unarmed Black Man

0

From their subversive "Lie, Cheat Steal" video to Killer Mike's moving speech on the Ferguson verdict, Run the Jewels have never avoided political issues. Their powerful new video for "Close Your Eyes (And Count to Fuck)," directed by A.G. Cook, is the most raw expression of their perspective on race and police brutality yet. Featuring a white police officer (Boardwalk Empire's Shea Whigham) and an unarmed black man (Short Term 12's Keith Stanfield) tussling in the street. Their fighting starts out violently but dissipates into clumsy pawing and wrestling as the two become increasingly exhausted. And there is no clear winner. Watch it above.

Ben Stiller's Teen Punk Band to Reissue Their 1982 Album via Captured Tracks

unnamed-2.jpg
Before Ben Stiller was Derek Zoolander or a melancholy Noah Baumbach character, he was a humble, angry teen in New York with a punk band called Capital Punishment. Stiller, along with his three of his classmates, started the band in 1979 and Capital Punishment went on to self-release their only LP while still in high school. Now the label Captured Tracks -- which also reps Mac Demarco, DIIV and Wild Nothing -- is reissuing that 1982 album, Roadkill. Ben Stiller recently went on the Howard Stern Show and talked about how his teenage punk band was resurrected by the Brooklyn label:

"What happened was some outsider music label, which I didn't know those existed, but people who are just into weird music; I guess it's been found and they asked us if they could re-release it."
Listen to a track off Roadkill, below:

One of the best parts about Boyhood, besides Patricia Arquette's epic acting, the deeply spot-on soundtrack and basically everything elase about the movie in general, was watching star Ellar Coltrane grow up on-screen. And Coltrane, who has only a few acting roles under his belt in addition to Boyhood, is now moving toward fashion modeling, with representation fro Wilhelmina. He's also one of many 2015 breakouts who will be featured in our upcoming Beautiful People issue, on stands in mid-April.

The visuals for "Ripe 4 Luv"continue Young Guv's (Ben Cook) dedication to working on his fitness. For whatever reason, the lighthearted power-pop ode to the struggles of finding love in the City is set to lo-fi, black-and-white footage of muscle-y men at the gym. Perhaps the video's boxing scenes serve as a "love is a battlefield"-type metaphor? Watch the "Ripe 4 Luv" music video, above. Young Guv's debut album is out now via Slumberland.

Willie Nelson, famed country musician, pot smoker and proud Texan Pippi Longstocking, announced during SXSW that he's starting his own pot brand: Willie's Reserve. That's right, soon in marijuana-friendly states you'll be able to buy everything from Willy-bongs to Willy-weed. With a focus on independent growers and sustainable practices, Nelson's stores, set to open in 2016, will work on an "anti-Walmart model", and will offer not only his own strain, but a curation of others'. It's like the Whole Foods of weed, basically, says Nelson.

While you wait for Willie's Reserve to launch, you can watch Nelson tell Jimmy Kimmel about the time he smoked week on the White House roof:
