Oh, Hello There New Glassjaw
I woke up this morning to a knock on the door only to find a box that reads “Material Control” on the cover and the very recognizable Glassjaw logo. Open it up? There’s ten flexi-discs inside full of new music. I put one on to see for sure, and yep, it’s music. I’ll have to give it a full listen in a little bit. You can check out a photo below and the track listing.

Spin:
Of the women Spin spoke to, and whose allegations and stories are shared below, all but one requested anonymity. When we provided Carlson with a detailed list of allegations brought to Spin, he stated that two of the allegations were true and disputed the facts of two others, while maintaining that his “conduct in both of these incidents was inexcusable.” His comment, including an apology for his behavior, is available in full at the end of this piece.
Warped Tour Comes to an End in 2018
Warped Tour is coming to its end in 2018. Billboard has an interview with Kevin Lyman:
Next year, The Vans Warped Tour will ride into the sunset for a final summer’s worth of North American dates. According to producer Kevin Lyman, who founded the fest in 1995, numerous factors — including an evolving summer festival industry, a shrinking pool of bands, and declining ticket sales amongst its teenage demographic — led him to declare the tour’s 24th year its last.
This stood out to me at the end:
Well, that sexual harassment didn’t happen on Warped Tour. If you go through every one of those stories, it didn’t happen on Warped Tour.
I’ve heard from multiple people that this is bullshit.

The Academic Use Delay From Facebook Live to Loop a Song
The Academic used the delay from a Facebook Live recording to loop their song. Mashable explains, but it’s really worth seeing:
It’s a little easier to understand if you actually see it in action, but essentially, the band performs for a Facebook Live feed that’s then projected behind them. They manage to sync up and perform with the same delayed feed a few seconds later, and as the song progresses, it gets more and more interesting.

The Uncomfortable Disregard for Legendary Rockers’ Sexual Misconduct
Alex Young, writing at Consequence of Sound:
“It was a different time, sex was treated differently back then” is the argument commonly used to justify the transgressions perpetrated by heroes like Chuck Berry, Bill Wyman, Jimmy Page, and Iggy Pop. All these men and many more have acknowledged engaging in romantic relationships with women well under the age of 18 when they themselves were in their 20s or 30s. Wyman was 47 years old when he began dating a 13-year-old girl — of course, with the approval of her mother. Wyman’s former band, The Rolling Stones, later flaunted their dalliances with underage groupies on merchandise sold during their 1994 Voodoo Lounge tour.
