Jennie’s 2024 “solo journey” is off to a sexy start.
On Tuesday, Rolling Stone exclusively debuted a first look at Calvin Klein’s Spring 2024 sultry campaign video featuring the Blackpink queen.
The black-and-white video opens with the singer laying in bed in two-piece Calvin Klein undergarments as an alarm clock goes off as she gets out of bed, puts on some shiny boots, and swings her feet atop a couch as “Baby, I Love You” by the Ramones plays in the background.

Long after their passings, the feud between Johnny Ramone and Joey Ramone lives on. Johnny’s widow, Linda Ramone, is suing Joey’s brother, Mickey Leigh, over the Pete Davidson-led Netflix biopic I Slept With Joey Ramone.
Johnny and Joey notoriously had a cantankerous relationship throughout the existence of the Ramones. In fact, Joey dated Linda before she eventually married Johnny.
The movie, which is currently in development and stars Davidson as Joey, is based on Leigh’s memoir I Slept With Joey Ramone. In her lawsuit, Linda claims that Leigh “covertly developed an unapproved and unauthorized Ramones-based biopic” that is based on his “one-sided recitation of the history of the Ramones,” according to Billboard.
Linda’s attorneys further state, “Ms. Ramone objects to defendants’ attempt to create a Ramones film without her involvement — not to be obstinate, but rather based on defendants’ disregard for [Ramones] assets and their conduct and treatment of Ms.

A dispute between the heirs to the Ramones’ estates has culminated in a lawsuit, with one side accusing the other of effectively shutting down the company that controls the group’s intellectual property rights while unilaterally greenlighting a biopic of the rock band.
Linda Ramone, widow of Ramones’ guitarist Johnny Ramone, accuses Mitchel Hyman, lead singer Joey Ramone’s brother, of refusing to engage with the band’s record label, merchandising partners or business managers, preventing the company from conducting basic operational tasks while draining it of funds. The lawsuit also alleges Hyman is withholding dividends owed to Ramone “unless and until she accedes” to his “self-serving demands to make fundamental changes” at the company.
The complaint, filed in New York’s state Supreme Court on Jan. 19, states Hyman “covertly developed an unapproved and unauthorized Ramones-based biopic, used Ramones IP across their own personal social media accounts without permission, and disparaged and threatened Ms.

Every year, the Sundance Film Festival brings together a collection of some of the most talented and innovative minds in genre-filmmaking and throws them all together in a chaotic hodgepodge of violence and absurdity that they call the Midnight film section.
Choosing a film from the Midnight section of the programming guide is gambling of the highest stakes. It is a two-hour, anything-goes type of bet that could either leave you trapped in an esoteric k-hole of emotional distress, or could give you euphoric double shot cocktail of adrenaline and dopamine that comes from seeing your favorite film of the year, and months ahead of all of your friends.
Greg Jardin’s debut It’s What’s Inside is one of the latter. The film is part Agatha Christie mystery, part gothic thriller with a little bit of Talk to Me sprinkled on top for flavor. The story revolves around...

The nights are tough for Jesse Malin. Since suffering a rare spinal stroke in May that left him unable to walk, the New York singer-songwriter regularly awakens, alone, in the pre-dawn hours and asks himself if this is all really happening. He reaches for his legs, which still lack feeling, and struggles to turn himself over. And then the fear comes.

Earlier this year, Darlene Love picked up the phone and heard a voice on the other end she didn’t quite recognize at first. “Doll, hi!” she heard. “This is Cher.” Love asked her to repeat who was calling. “Cher, bitch!”
She was calling to see if Love would sing “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)” with her on her upcoming holiday album Christmas, revisiting a tune they sang together exactly 60 years ago on A Christmas Gift for You From Phil Spector, one of the greatest Christmas albums in music history.

Blink-182 have shared “Dance with Me,” the latest single from their upcoming album One More Time….
One More Time… is Blink’s first new album since the return of guitarist Tom DeLonge, so it’s not too surprising to see them lean into the nostalgia factor with “Dance with Me.” In its cheeky music video, the band seem to poke fun at not only themselves, but the punk purists who called them sellouts back in the day. The clip starts with a faux TV interview, in which the band all appear to be doing their best Joey Ramone cosplay: “What the hell is punk? And is it punk that I said ‘hell?'” a Barbara Walters-esque hosts asks.
“Dance with Me” isn’t the most punk tune around, but it has all the major tenets of a Blink-182 song: Breakneck drums, zippy guitar riffs, a chorus about “doin’ it all night long,...

The Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band was a comedy rock group formed in the 1960s. The band only had one hit song, which isn’t surprising since their hit was produced by Paul McCartney. However, many of his fans wouldn’t know about his involvement as he produced the track under a pseudonym.

Howie Pyro, a founding member of New York City punk band D Generation, pioneering party DJ, and avid collector of music and movie ephemera, died Wednesday. He was 61. Pyro had undergone a liver transplant last year and was recovering in a Los Angeles hospital. Jesse Malin, Pyro’s friend and bandmate in D Generation, confirmed his death from Covid-related pneumonia following a long battle with liver disease.
Pyro was an integral yet unassuming fixture of New York’s gritty punk scene in the Seventies and Eighties, part groundbreaking artist and part observer.

Pete Davidson is gearing up to portray punk rock pioneer Joey Ramone in the upcoming biopic “I Slept With Joey Ramone” for Netflix and STXfilms.
The announcement comes on the 20th anniversary of Ramone’s death. The biopic will chronicle the life and times of the legendary musician — born Jeffrey Ross Hyman in 1951 — who cofounded the group in Queens, New York in 1974 and went on to change the sound of rock music by stripping it down to Chuck Berry-level basics (but played twice as fast). The Ramones were arguably the first true punk rock band, and not only helped launch the scene around the downtown venue Cbgb but ignited the British punk scene with performances in the U.K. in 1976. The group disbanded in 1996, but their popularity and influence is vast and undeniable.

The biopic will chronicle the life of the king of punk and lead singer for The Ramones as told through Leigh’s eyes, and the film will be made with the cooperation of Ramone’s estate and with the assistance of Rosegarten Films.
“When you share a bed with someone — and not just a bed, but a childhood, a family, and a lifetime — you know that person better than anybody else,” Adam Fogelson, chairman of STXfilms, said in a statement. “Mickey Leigh...

Robin Wilson’s always had a perfect voice for graveyards. The Gin Blossoms singer’s slightly nasal tenor is just the type of whine to carry far and clear across the tombstones. Right in time for Halloween, he puts it to good use on a faithful cover of the Ramones’ cult hit “Pet Sematary.”
The cover was the idea of Nashville drummer and radio DJ Andy Herrin, who hit up his old friend Wilson to lend his voice to a studio recording and a subsequent video. Rounded out by Herrin...

Zendaya will play Ronnie Spector in A24’s upcoming adaptation of the iconic rock and roll singer’s 1990 biography Be My Baby: How I Survived Mascara, Miniskirts, And Madness, according to Variety. The 24-year-old Zendaya recently made history as the youngest actress to win an Emmy lead actress in a drama series. She is only the second Black woman to win the award, after Viola Davis for her role on How to Get Away with Murder in 2015. Spector personally chose Zendaya to portray her.
Former Disney Channel star Zendaya won the Emmy for her role as Rue in HBO’s Euphoria, which is produced by A24. The independent entertainment company is teaming with New Regency again. They are also working with them on the Malcolm & Marie film and previously worked together on The Lighthouse, which was directed by Robert Eggers.

Jesse Malin was supposed to be onstage at the U.K.’s massive Glastonbury festival this year. Instead, he’s doing solo shows every Saturday in his East Village apartment, trying to raise money for his band and crew whose incomes have taken a beating by the coronavirus pandemic. For the meantime, he’s doing Ok himself — his last album, Sunset Kids, was well-received and earned him a busy year of live dates and radio play. But he’s coming to terms with the reality that he may soon be...

As the Covid-19 pandemic continues and millions remain quarantined around the globe, more and more musicians have joined the streaming trend — performing live from their couches, kitchens, and even bathrooms — while consoling fans. Even classic bands like the Grateful Dead are streaming archival concerts, reminding listeners of a time when we weren’t so full of uncertainty and fear. From David Gilmour to Residente, here’s a new list of the best streamed performances from the stay-at-home era.

Jesse Malin and his band D Generation were on the road opening for the Ramones in 1996 when the ageless New York City punk first heard Lucinda Williams’ voice. It was on the duet with Steve Earle “You’re Still Standin’ There” and her distinct nasally tone cut through like a serrated knife, all jagged and dangerous. Excited about his discovery, Malin couldn’t wait to tell his mentor, Joey Ramone.
“He was such a music lover. We’d talk in the mornings and ask each other, ‘What are you listening to?...

Cramming the plot of Ghostbusters 2 into a four-minute pop song is no easy task, but Bobby Brown handled it with tremendous skill on his New Jack Swing masterpiece “On Our Own,” which peaked at Number Two on the Hot 100 30 years ago this week. “Found about Vigo, the master of evil,” he sang, referencing an evil 16th-century spirit trapped inside a painting in the movie. “Try to battle my boys? That’s not legal!”
The movie landed in theaters during one of the busiest summers in the history of Hollywood up to that point.

Earlier this month, Steve Van Zandt heard an interesting factoid about his 1985 protest classic “Sun City” from New Zealand writer Russell Baillie: The song may have been popular all over the world, but nowhere more so than New Zealand and Australia where it peaked at #4. “Wow, “Van Zandt said. “I had better considering adding that to the set.”
When his ongoing world tour with the Disciples of Soul touched down in Perth, Australia on April 13th he did just that when the song popped up in the encore section of his show.

It was sad but fitting that news of the passing of Gary Stewart, a bedrock force in the modern age of rock & roll reissues, broke on Friday morning, April 12th — 24 hours before the doors opened for this year’s Record Store Day. Because for Stewart, every day was Record Store Day.

The Ramones' Road To Ruin turns 40 with a previously unreleased music video and a reissue to prove it.
Some fans think The Ramones reached their peak with their fourth album, Road to Ruin, which turns 40 today. Released on September 21, 1978 through Sire Records, it followed Rocket to Russia, which saw a drop off in album sales, pushing Tommy Ramone to put more time into production. Bassist Dee Dee Ramone snagged the drummer from Richard Hell and the Voidoids, Marc Bell and rechristened him Marky Ramone, leaving Tommy to produce the album with Ed Stasium, with a nod to the Phil Spector sound. With the single "I Wanna Be Sedated" as a lead-off, Road to Ruin was considered Billboard-ready. But it only hit 103 on the charts, 50 notches down from the last record. The Ramones recently dropped a deluxe reissue of the album and found a previously unreleased video...

Ramones unearthed a previously unseen video for their surging love song “She’s the One.”
The punk icons presumably filmed the bare-bones clip during the same 1978 session that yielded their visual for “Don’t Come Close.” Throughout the video, the quartet perform with their trademark manic energy, singer Joey Ramone tilting the microphone forward and guitarist Johnny Ramone thrashing his axe as his bangs flail wildly.

Steely Dan cofounder Walter Becker will be posthumously honored on Oct. 28 when the street where he grew up in the Forest Hills neighborhood of Queens, N.Y. will be co-named Walter Becker Way. The street sign will be posted on the corner of 112th Street and 72nd Drive. A press release announcing the honor says, with signature Becker humor, “This represents the kind of street credibility that Becker truly would have appreciated!”
Becker, who with cofounder Donald Fagen was the only fulltime member of the long-running band, died in September after a battle with esophageal cancer. He and Fagen co-wrote and co-produced all of the band’s material from its inception in 1972. Since November, Becker’s widow, Delia, has been embroiled in a legal battle with Fagen over ownership of Steely Dan Inc.

Rock may not be dominating radio, but it's seeing a resurgence onscreen.
Nick Cassavetes is the latest to join the band, signing on to adapt and direct the indie I Slept With Joey Ramone. Based on the 2009 memoir by Ramone's brother Mickey Leigh, the story revolves around the birth of the punk movement. With debut album Ramones in 1976, Ramone became the poster boy of disaffected youth in the 1970s and '80s, influencing the counterculture for decades to come. Gene Kirkwood (Rocky) is producing and putting together the financing.

We did some research, and the May 19 date of the Royal nuptials has a past that could be labeled rather macabre. It's the date Amy Fisher shot and severely wounded Joey Buttafuoco's wife in 1992.

Lately, my Weird Sounds Inside The Gold Mind kickass rock and blues Internet radio show has spilled over into my ComicMix column. But it’s hard for me to restrain myself, and besides, self-restraint isn’t exactly my long suit.
Since every living person, as well as the estates of many of the dead, makes all kinds of “big” announcements at Sdcc, the smart people (Hi, Martha!) make their big announcements the week before the show. They’ll get better exposure in the online comics news sites, and this year they avoid having to compete for attention with a 70-year old Creamsicle media hog with severe bigotry issues.
So our friends at Archie Comics cleverly chose last week to announce their latest bizarre crossover, Archie Meets The Ramones. This past decade or so, Archie Comics (as opposed to the character, Archie Andrews) have been the most innovative and risk-taking of the Original Comics Publishers.

It’s fair to say that Noel Fielding is one of the more surreal comedians that has come out of the UK. Surreal but never boring. Coming to most people’s attention with The Mighty Boosh, then going a little too odd with Luxury Comedy it is fair to say he can be hit and miss at times. An Evening with Noel Fielding though is some of his best work. (Oh and Luxury Comedy got a lot better in the second season when it started to make more sense).
An Evening with Noel Fielding is a stand-up comedy act, but with added weirdness from some of the characters he’s created such as The Moon, and my personal favourite Fantasy Man. With a style of comedy that goes “meta” at times, it’s a show that while surreal actually works well.

Jesse Malin sees a lot of ghosts on the once-bohemian streets of New York’s East Village: late icons, all neighborhood regulars, like Allen Ginsberg, Joey Ramone and Lou Reed. Malin, a local fixture who has just released the powerful street-wise-rock album New York Before the War, also sees a lot of possibility amid the boutique hotels and velvet-rope clubs now lining the Bowery.

U2 was forced to postpone their upcoming, weeklong residency on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon after Bono underwent surgery for a cycling injury.
"It looks like we will have to do our Tonight Show residency another time - we're one man down," the band wrote on their website. "Bono has injured his arm in a cycling spill in Central Park and requires some surgery to repair it. We're sure he'll make a full recovery soon, so we'll be back! Much thanks to Jimmy Fallon and everyone at the show for their understanding.

You too could sing along with U2 during the band's stint on The Tonight Show next week, with host Jimmy Fallon calling on fans to submit videos of themselves lip-syncing "The Miracle (of Joey Ramone)," from the band's latest record, Songs of Innocence. A compilation of those videos will then be incorporated into a live performance next week.
Fallon encouraged fans to get creative with their clips and said they can be uploaded either to YouTube with the title "Tonight Show U2 Lip Sync," or via the "Challenges" section on the The Tonight Show app.

The biggest story of the week is Songs of Innocence, the U2 album available for free from iTunes. It's not, however, considered a big story for the right reasons.
Online, at least, furor has erupted over one aspect of its dissemination: if your iPod settings (which, of course, can be changed from the default by users) allow updates to automatically download, then Songs of Innocence ended up in your music collection even if you hate U2. And thus ensued the biggest outburst of butthurt since, well, whatever trivial perceived slight riled people the most last week. But since it's a music-related controversy, music snobbery -- the biggest motivator of absurdly overblown butthurtness known to mankind -- got mixed in, and any band that's been around for 38 years, as U2 has, and is as famous as U2 is, pretty much automatically attracts music-snob hatred. So the vituperation has flowed freely.

Is what U2 did really so awful? Ever since the band showed up at Apple’s iPhone 6 launch on Tuesday and gave away its new album, “Songs of Innocence,” to 500 million iTunes users, I’ve read commentary after commentary about how horrible they are. My Facebook page has been deluged with discussions about the new album and my friends can’t seem to decide what they’re maddest about but it seems to be down to these five things: *U2 gave its new album away by inserting itself into people’s iTunes library *Bono is a blowhard *They hate U2 and see this as the latest craven move from a band that cares more about getting attention then making good music *They think the new album is horrible (read my review here) *They really can’t stand that Bono invokes both Joey Ramone’s and Joe Strummer’s names in...
