Watch Caroline Polachek Rock Out to "So Hot You're Hurting My Feelings" on Kimmel

Polachek made crushing look really good on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' last night.

Watch A Rock-Climbing Caroline Polachek Sing “So Hot You’re Hurting My Feelings” On Kimmel

Lately, Jimmy Kimmel Live has been providing a great forum for culty indie stars who want to make big, theatrical statements on television. Two nights ago, for instance, masked cowboy Orville Peck made his Kimmel debut. And last night, the show featured a strange and unique performance from Caroline Polachek. Polachek, formerly of Chairlift, released her solo debut Pang a few months ago. On Kimmel last night, she sang the twinkling single "So Hot You're Hurting My Feelings," and she did it in a way I've never seen before. Polachek performed without a band, over what seemed to be a backing track. And she did it while climbing around on a giant, slow-rotating, presumably fake boulder. Also, she dressed like a superhero whose power somehow involves little white ropes. She pulled it off. Polachek is a magnetic performer, and she made great use of her one big prop and some truly dramatic lighting. She managed to project credible pop-star presence while also seeming like she was making fun

Aesop Rock – “Rogue Wave”

Last year, underground rap veteran Aesop Rock teamed up with Black Moth Super Rainbow synth-sludge producer Tobacco for the collaborative album Malibu Ken. And now, as he continues working on a full-length follow-up to 2016's solo LP The Impossible Kid, he's shared a new standalone single called "Rogue Wave." As he explains: "Rogue Wave" feels like a long journal entry to me — perhaps in the vein of "Hot Dogs" and "Klutz." I really enjoy skipping the hook entirely. It doesn't always work — but when it does it just feels right. To me, this song is a small boat lost at sea, rowing for hours, days, losing all track of time and direction — 360 degrees of nothing but ocean. I've been a little timid over the years to showcase my own drawings, probably because I've been out of practice, and also because people know me for my music. That said — I've been drawing a fair amount in recent years, and finally decided to collect a lot of the images together for a music video. My long time

Vegan Week: Pizza Hut's 'Pepperphoni' Pizza Isn't Bad, But It's Not Replacing Real Pizza Anytime Soon

In this transition period, taking us until the end of December 2020, freedom of movement ie the movement of talent, personnel, artists etc can continue.

There are plenty of big beasts in residence in the UK - Netflix, Disney, Warner Bros, Comcast (the new owner of Sky) - all strong enough to take any adverse movements in the value of the pound, the smaller independents may well be viewing their own future further down the line with a little more trepidation.

Big Fizzle: MoviePass Passes Away

And so it all ends in disappointment, like the umpteenth installment of a Stallone or Schwarzenegger franchise. For MoviePass and its parent company, filing Chapter 7 bankruptcy earlier this week means that what promised to disrupt an industry that has been around for more than a century – the movie business, of course – has itself been disrupted, and had been since the service was shut down in September. The filing means the companies will be sold, and the funds distributed to creditors. Those creditors include a list of more than 12,000 subscribers, and as the math works out, each of them may get about $100 in liquidation – if they get paid at all. The final shuttering comes after at least some subscribers complained that their cards were still being charged, even when the MoviePass service had gone dormant. Turns out the movie ticket subscription business has relatively low barriers to entry. MoviePass launched in 2011, was famed for its $10 monthly subscription service that allowed

The EU’s Risky Green Taxonomy

European Union member states and the European Parliament are soon expected to adopt a so-called “taxonomy” for classifying green investments, after reaching an agreement last month on a list of “sustainable” economic activities. Once the new system enters into force, most likely this year, the European Commission will use this list to determine which financial assets and products are sustainable. This taxonomy is the backbone of the Commission’s regulatory package on sustainable finance, which has the ambitious goal of “reorient[ing] capital flows towards sustainable investment, in order to achieve sustainable and inclusive growth.” The Commission hopes that the new labelling scheme will address the problem of market players “greenwashing” non-sustainable financial products and serve as the basis for policy incentives to promote sustainable investment. To be fit for purpose, however, the taxonomy must address three important questions. Unfortunately, the EU’s one-dimensional approach disregards two of the three…
