Going To A Town
Lily Allen unveiled a haunting cover of Rufus Wainwright's 2007 song "Going to a Town" along with a stark video of her performance of the track at the Women's March in London.
The song features a stirring musical arrangement by Mark Ronson, who places a tangle of elegiac strings beneath Allen's aching vocals. "You took advantage of a world that loved you well/ I'm going to a town that has already been burnt down/ I'm so tired of you, America," Allen intoned.

Chris Thile & Brad Mehldau perform Elliott Smith's "Independence Day," from their self-titled debut duo album, due January 27, 2017. The song was performed at Bowery Ballroom in NYC in December 2015. Video by Alex Chaloff.

Mark Strand - The Remains
I empty myself of the names of others. I empty my pockets.
I empty my shoes and leave them beside the road.
At night I turn back the clocks;
I open the family album and look at myself as a boy.
What good does it do? The hours have done their job.
I say my own name. I say goodbye.
The words follow each other downwind.
I love my wife but send her away.
My parents rise out of their thrones
into the milky rooms of clouds. How can I sing?
Time tells me what I am. I change and I am the same.
I empty mysel...

Anymore
Anymore - the first single from Goldfrapp's brand new seventh studio album 'Silver Eye', released 31st March 2017 on Mute.
Badbadnotgood's Tiny Desk Concert
BADBADNOTGOOD made a name for itself by reworking songs from the likes of Nas and Ol' Dirty Bastard, eventually catching the attention of Odd Future leader Tyler, the Creator. The masses took notice in 2015 when the group produced an entire LP for Ghostface Killah, Sour Soul. BADBADNOTGOOD has been called a hip-hop ensemble, but its foundation is clearly jazz, which provides a gateway to countless genres. On IV, the group allows that gateway to widen, adding soul and funk to the repertoire.

Hallelullah!
It works.
We blew the shit out of them.
We blew the shit right back up their own ass
And out their fucking ears.
It works.
We blew the shit out of them.
They suffocated in their own shit!
Hallelullah.
Praise the Lord for all good things.
We blew them into fucking shit.
They are eating it.
Praise the Lord for all good things.
We blew their balls into shards of dust,
Into shards of fucking dust.
We did it.
Now I want you to come over here and kiss...
