Father John Misty, Josh Tillman, has released the video for “I Love You, Honeybear”, the title track of his standout new album. The clip is “a portrayal of an average night in the lives of two EMTs,” played by Brett Gelman and Susan Traylor, according to the singer-songwriter. The director Grant James, who has also directed for “This is Sally Hatchet” and “Funtimes in Babylon” comes back with this visual, which also shows a tragic scene between Tillman and his Honeybear.

Take a first look at Mulder and Scully in the latest season of the X-Files
The X-Files production is officially underway for its new season, and with that comes the first look at Fox Mulder and Dana Scully being reunited.
The photo, which comes from X-Files Twitter account and can be seen above, also shows creator Chris Carter behind the camera. As well as writing the six-episode return, Carter is directing the first episode.
The show’s new season will premiere January 26th, 2016 on FOX. Cast members include David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson as Mulder and Scully, as well as Mitch Pileggi as Walter Skinner, William B. Davis as The Smoking Man, and Joel McHale as Tad O’Malley.
Palma Violets give an energetic performance on Late Late Show
Indie rock outfit, Palma Violets have been performing with new album, Danger in the Club in festivals throughout the US the last few months, creating new audiences throughout. The British band will likely gain a broader fan base with their performance last night on Late Late Show with James Corden where they performed a high-energy rendition of the LP track, “Girl, You Couldn’t Do Much Better On The Beach”. Compared to a festival, a TV studio is not as comparable but the band performed the same way nevertheless. Watch the replay below.
The Lighthouse and the Whaler share new song “I Want to Feel Alive”
If the band name has not already given it away, The Lighthouse and The Whaler are literary fans. The Moby Dick allusion is perfect for the indie rock outfit from Cleveland, having done most of their early career across the country looking out for their sound and getting new members since their creation in 2008. Now, two albums and three EPs later, the band is beginning to go on a new voyage. They holed themselves up in Montreal to record their latest album, Mont Royal, which is due out on August 28th through Roll Call Records. They are now giving a sample of the new LP through their latest single, “I Want To Feel Alive”.
The band has said in a statement: “This song almost didn’t come with us to Canada, before we left we were kind of stuck on where to go with it, but once we got in the studio and really began to feel the connection we had with the place, it evolved into a song that really moved us.”
The track has the drama of classic literature with their significant vocals and guitars that have an emphasis on reverb. Listen to it here.

Buzz Osborne says Kurt Cobain documentary Montage of Heck is “90% bullshit”
Frontman of the Melvins, Buzz Osborne, is giving shade to Brett Morgen’s recent documentary, Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck, and declared that 90% of the film is “total bullshit.”
In his recent op-ed for The Talkhouse, the frontman questioned the facts behind the film, and claimed that most of what was said from Courtney Love was not completely consistent with what Cobain has told him personally. Osborne was a mentor and friend of Cobain’s during his early years and the pair attended high school together as well.
Including the issues that Love’s story had, Osborne also argued against other stories that were put in the film as facts. He claims that Cobain did not have any issues with his stomach saying, “[Cobain] made it up for sympathy and so he could use it as an excuse” in order to use heroin.
He also contested a story about how Cobain tried to sleep with a mentally handicapped female fellow student in high school. “I know the whole ‘I tried to fuck a fat retard’ story is complete bullshit. Not even an inkling of truth. That’s too good a story to have gone this long without me hearing about it, especially if, as he suggests, the girl’s father freaked out about it at the high school,” said Osborne, also adding, “In that small-town shit-hole, exciting news of that nature would have been common knowledge before the sun set. It never happened.”
Osborne added: “[Cobain] was a master of jerking your chain.”
