Braxton Keith is Leading Country’s New Twang Class | Nashville Now

Blondshell joins Angie Martoccio and Leah Lu in The Rolling Stone Studio to talk about her brand new album, 'Violins,' and why she felt compelled to put out a new project after releasing one last year: "I really hate sitting on songs and not doing anything with them. I think I have a subconscious fear that they'll go away or I'll lose the excitement around the song." She also chats about the music she's enjoying these days (Charli XCX, Slayyyter, Life Without Buildings), the type of vibe she'd curate at her wedding, and plays FMK: nostalgia, the moment, the passage of time. "It's become very trendy to hate nostalgia. I love it," she says. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

On a new episode of The Rolling Stone Interview, senior editor and film critic David Fear talks to The Social Reckoning actor Bill Burr. A record-breaking stand-up comic from Boston who initially made his reputation as “the undisputed heavyweight champion of rage-fueled humor” and a pioneering podcaster, Burr had an epiphany on the set of Aaron Sorkin’s new Facebook film and ended up completely changing his life, his work, and his comedy. “I don’t want to be known as the angry guy anymore,” he told Rolling Stone during an extensive, candid conversation. “I want to be the guy that lets people meet in the middle.” Learn more about your ad choices.
