Bleachers Reminisce About House Shows and DIY Tours on New Song ‘The Van’

Bleachers end up playing an impromptu house show in the new music video for “The Van,” the latest offering from the Jack Antonoff-led outfit’s upcoming LP, Everyone for Ten Minutes.

“The Van” sits solidly in that classic category of Bleachers songs in which Antonoff ruminates on his early days as a musician and leaving home for the first time. Over a steady drum groove and a heady mix of horns and harmonica, Antonoff recalls Wawa pitstops, gigs at Wayne Firehouse (an old underground venue in New Jersey), and a fateful tour that solidified his musical ambitions.

Britney Spears Voluntarily Checks Into Rehab Facility

Britney Spears has entered rehab following her arrest on suspicion of driving under the influence. The singer voluntarily checked into the treatment facility, a rep for the singer tells Rolling Stone.

The move comes just over a month after she was arrested on March 4 outside of Los Angeles County. A California Highway Patrol spokesperson told Rolling Stone at the time that officers suspected Spears was driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs. “Ms. Spears, showed signs of impairment and submitted to a series of field sobriety tests. Ms. Spears was subsequently arrested for a violation of California Vehicle Code section 23152(g), driving under the influence of a combination of drugs and alcohol, and booked into the Ventura County Main Jail.”

BTS Is Back on Top: ‘We Have to Push It to the Edge’

When RM is going through an existential crisis, which is pretty often, he might think of the words of Rainer Maria Rilke, or maybe the lyrics of Tyler, the Creator. BTS’ leader loves that other poetically inclined RM, and keeps coming back to an oft-quoted section of his 1905 poem “Go to the Limits of Your Longing”: “Let everything happen to you/Beauty and terror/Just keep going/No feeling is final.” In other words, just swim.

Lying in his cold army bunk, scalp buzzed close, struggling with 18 unrelenting months of insomnia during mandatory military service, RM would listen to Don Toliver, to Playboi Carti, to Dijon’s debut, to Joji’s ballad “Past Won’t Leave My Bed.” When the lyrics got his brain humming with too many ideas for his own, he’d switch to streaming classical and ambient music. But he really latched onto Tyler’s “Darling, I,” and the chorus phrase “Forever is too long.” Tyler and Teezo Touchdown were singing about dodging monogamy at all costs, but RM teased out his own, deeper meaning. “Maybe at that time, the military felt too long for me,” RM says. “I just kept singing the phrase all the time. And I was being healed just by singing along to it.”
