Morrisey also helped conceive and titled the Exploding Plastic Inevitable happenings, which included appearances by the band.

The Cure – Songs Of A Lost World

Dignity and despair go hand-in-hand on Songs Of A Lost World, as Robert Smith stands on the precipice of life and wonders what lies beyond. We have always known that this album would be imbued with sadness following the deaths of his parents and brother within a few years. Throughout Songs Of A Lost World, the writing is very much on the wall. Smith takes account of his life and career, asking what’s been the point of it all. “Where did it go?” he asks on stately opener “Alone” as he ponders his youthful hopes and dreams. Seven songs later, he answers that question on closing number “Endsong”. “It’s all gone”, he sings, “left alone with nothing, the end of every song”. The last word of the last song? “Nothing”.

Iced Earth guitarist Jon Schaffer sentenced for his part in January 6 Capitol Hill Insurrection

Iced Earth guitarist Jon Schaffer has been sentenced for his part in the January 6 Capitol Hill Insurrection. Per Consequence last Friday (October 25), the heavy metal musician will serve three years’ probation after cooperating with the US Justice Department’s investigation into the infamous riot, avoiding further prison time after a two-month stint in early 2021 that, according to his lawyer, involved having “thrown faeces… and urine at him”, along with threats against his life. Schaffer had initially been facing up to four-and-a-half years in prison – his sentence was eventually delayed due to his willingness to cooperate with the US Justice Department. On January 6, the guitarist was among a group of Donald Trump supporters who stormed Capitol Hill to protest the certification of Joe Biden’s election victory in Congress, which resulted in the complex being locked down.

Laura Marling – Patterns In Repeat

In 2020, Laura Marling released Song For Our Daughter, a metaphoric discourse with, and about, her fictional offspring. “I drew pictures of you/Long before I met you/Just a fragment of my mind,” she sang on the wistful “For You”.
