Foo Fighters Bring Massive Hits to Their First-Ever Tiny Desk

Somehow NPR’s Tiny Desk managed to accommodate all six Foo Fighters on a recent office visit, where the group played a five-song set of hits and their Your Favorite Toy single, “Spit Shine,” which they opened with. The cluttered environment seemed to have no effect on the band, which is used to playing spacious stadium stages, as frontman Dave Grohl leaned into the mic to snarl, “You know I don’t really give a damn,” before the band took over with some melodic backing vocals. When they finished, they simply smiled, and Grohl joked about how the microphone is “the hardest instrument of them all to play.”

Karol G Is Rumored to Be on Drake’s ‘Iceman.’ Let’s Look at His Past Latin Music Collaborations

Drake‘s Iceman is right around the corner, which means speculation about the highly anticipated album has reached a fever pitch. Charlamagne tha God added to that frenzy on The Breakfast Club on Monday, when he claimed Karol G makes an appearance on the album. This would mark her first-ever collaboration with the rapper.

Neither Drake nor Karol has not confirmed the rumors. Representatives for both Karol G and Drake did not immediately respond to Rolling Stone’s request for comment. But given Drake’s history of collaborating with Latin music artists, a Karol G feature is not out of the realm of possibilities.

Watch U2 Film a Video for Upcoming Single ‘Street of Dreams’ Off Their Next Album

A large crowd filled up a street in Mexico City on May 12 to watch U2 shoot a video perched on top of a school bus wrapped in graffiti by artist Chavis Mármol for their upcoming single, “Street of Dreams.” The song will appear on their next album, which is due out later this year.

Drummer Larry Mullen Jr. missed out on most band activity over the past few years as he recovered from neck and back surgeries, including their 40-night residency at the Sphere in 2023 and 2024, but he was back behind the kit at the video shoot.

FKA Twigs Countersued by Band the Twigs Who Want to Bar Grammy Winner From Using Stage Name

Less than two months after FKA Twigs filed a lawsuit against the Twigs, alleging the indie band sent multiple cease-and-desist letters over the trademark connected to her stage name, twin sisters Laura Good and Linda Good are now firing off trademark claims of their own.

In March, the Grammy-winning artist born Tahliah Barnett filed a lawsuit against the duo, claiming they have known about her use of FKA Twigs since 2013. In an email exchange, Barnett allegedly offered the band $15,000 to allow their musical entities to “co-exist,” without needing to purchase the name from them. According to the complaint, “Laura and Linda declined and stressed that they did not consent to this proposed co-existence.”

Kanye West Loses at Trial Over Uncleared Sample on ‘Hurricane’

Kanye West is on the hook for six-figure damages after a jury found he infringed the copyright of an unreleased demo track by sampling it in an early version of his Grammy-winning song “Hurricane” that he played for 40,000 fans at a sold-out Donda listening concert five years ago.

In a verdict delivered Tuesday afternoon, eight jurors unanimously decided that West, now known as Ye, is personally liable for $176,153, and his company, Yeezy LLC, is liable for $176,153. His retail merchandising companies, Yeezy Supply and Mascotte Holdings, were found liable for $41,625 and $44,627, respectively.
