Ray Rogers, writing for Billboard, talks with Jack Antonoff about his fight against anti-LGBTQ legislation in Texas:

It’s something that artists care about, artists who come through these areas and tour through them and local artists.

Jack Antonoff Writing A Book Called ‘Record Store’

Jack Antonoff, of Bleachers, is writing a book called Record Store. The New York Times has an interview with Jack:

“Record Store” will be “the opposite of an old, crotchety, ‘things-were-better,’ dusty book about vinyl,” he added.
