Future Islands frontman Samuel T. Herring has been cast opposite Lakeith Stanfield in The Changeling, Apple TV+’s upcoming drama series based on Victor Lavalle’s bestselling book of the same name. The role marks Herring’s acting debut. Adina Porter and Clark Backo also star in the drama from Annapurna and Apple Studios.
Written and adapted by Kelly Marcel, The Changeling is a fairytale for grown-ups. A horror story, a parenthood fable and a perilous odyssey through a New York City you didn’t know existed.
Stanfield stars as Apollo, a passionate rare book hunter. Herring plays William Wheeler, a man who befriends Stanfield’s Apollo in a quest to win back his wife and children. Porter plays Apollo’s mother, Lillian, and Backo is Emmy, Apollo’s wife.
In Lavalle’s book, when Apollo and Emma have their baby, Brian, it feels like both a reward...

Sharon Van Etten ventures into dark, cinematic dance-rock with “Comeback Kid,” the lead single from her newly announced fifth LP, Remind Me Tomorrow, out January 18th, 2019 via Jagjaguwar.
The singer-songwriter, known primarily for her guitar- and piano-driven arrangements, shifts into full-on synth mode with “Comeback Kid,” crooning over whirring keys and a jagged, tumbling drum groove. “Hey, you’re the comeback kid, see me look away/ I’m the runaway,” she sings, the first of several fragmented lyrics.

On Tuesday night, “Downward Dog” bid farewell to TV. For now.
The short-lived ABC sitcom only got eight episodes on network television — still surprisingly more than you would expect for a show co-anchored by a dog pontificating on the true nature of “loyalty” or “boundaries.” But what makes the show’s disappearance from the airwaves so disheartening is that it had much more to offer to an audience beyond the bevy of dog owners who watched the show with their four-legged friends at their side.
It’s impossible to boil down this show to one simple takeaway, but “Downward Dog” did truly capture the worth of seeing the world through different eyes. Martin the dog became the conduit through which the audience reevaluated many of Nan’s (Allison Tolman) interpersonal relationships as well. But despite having an animal in the title, the lasting ways this show will resonate for fans...

When underground Brooklyn music venue Death By Audio shuttered in November 2014, its demise signaled the end of an era for Williamsburg's music scene. The space had played an instrumental role in launching bands like A Place to Bury Strangers and Dirty on Purpose and left a hole that may never be filled. Fortunately, Dba cofounder Matthew Conboy had the good sense to film just about everything that happened between news of the warehouse space's closing and the night of its raucous last gasp of life.

Jimmy Kimmel will air a rerun of Jimmy Kimmel Live! on May 20th in deference to David Letterman, who will end his storied tenure as host of The Late Show that same night, The New York Times reports.
"I have too much respect for Dave to do anything that would distract viewers from watching his final show," Kimmel told the Times in an e-mail. "Plus, I’ll probably be crying all day, which makes it hard to work."
While new episodes of Kimmel will air the rest of that week,...

John Fogerty delivered a roaring medley of classic Creedence Clearwater Revival cuts — "Travelin' Band," "Proud Mary" and "Fortunate Son" — on The Late Show Wednesday night to the delight of departing host David Letterman.
Strapped with a blue-and-white plaid-print guitar that matched his flannel, Fogerty and his band began with a frantic rendition of "Travelin' Band," with drummer Kenny Aronoff setting a blistering pace that carried the quartet into "Proud Mary." Though that performance was short and sweet, Fogerty fittingly delivered the song's famous first line — "Left a good job in the city,...

Future Islands blew David Letterman's mind last year with an intense performance of their breakout single "Seasons (Waiting On You)," and frontman Samuel Herring's dramatic dance moves became a running meme on The Late Show thereafter. On Tuesday, the synth-pop band returned to the Ed Sullivan Theatre and debuted their hypnotic new single, "The Chase," once again impressing the late-night legend with their idiosyncratic style.
"The Chase" builds on the melodic focus of 2014's acclaimed Singles, with Herring growling passionately over hi-hat-heavy drums, a jittery bassline and glittery synth pattern.
