Foo Fighters have premiered the video for “Window,” a track off their brand-new album, Your Favorite Toy.

The clip stars English actor Craig Parkinson as the window cleaner for a high-rise building, inadvertently giving him a view into the lives of the residents, including one who’s watching the “Everlong” video on a TV.

The “Window” video is now streaming on YouTube.

Your Favorite Toy is out now. It’s the follow-up to 2023’s But Here We Are and is the first Foo Fighters album to feature new drummer Ilan Rubin.

Foo Fighters will play a one-off show in Bridgeport, Connecticut, on April 28, followed by headlining sets at the Welcome to Rockville and BottleRock Napa festivals in May. They’ll launch a full North American stadium tour in August.

Offset says he’s not slowing down following shooting: ‘Like the Energizer Bunny’

April 24, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Offset isn’t letting his recent shooting injury slow him down.

In a new interview with the Creators Inc. podcast, reportedly recorded less than a week after the April 6 shooting, the rapper says he’s trying to channel the Energizer Bunny.

“Gotta keep pushin’, like the Energizer Bunny, man,” he tells host Andy Bachman. “We don’t got time to be slowing down.”

Days after the shooting, which took place outside of a casino in Florida, Offset was back onstage at the University of Arkansas’s Rowfest on April 11. After that, he flew to LA to continue working on his new album.

“I was blessed enough to be able to still move,” he says on the podcast. “So I’m still moving … at the end of the day the grind don’t stop, bro. I ain’t want nobody to feel sorry for me. People get shot every day, bro. Like, I’m blessed. I can keep pushing, so why would I just sit down?”

Offset, who says he was shot in the hip, is next scheduled to perform on May 9 at the Xperience Live Event Center in Orlando, Florida.

Lil TJay, born Tione Jayden Merritt, was arrested in connection with the incident and charged with disorderly conduct, a first-degree misdemeanor, according to the Seminole Police Department. He was also charged with operating without a valid license.

Metallica pays tribute to late conductor and ‘S&M2’ collaborator Michael Tilson Thomas

April 24, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Metallica has shared a tribute to late conductor Michael Tilson Thomas, who passed away on Wednesday.

The metal legends had collaborated with Thomas on their 2019 S&M2 concerts, which featured them performing alongside the Thomas-conducted San Francisco Symphony.

“It is with great sadness that we learned of the passing of legendary conductor Michael Tilson Thomas,” Metallica writes in a Facebook post. “A towering figure in classical music, many of you became familiar with the man known as MTT when he worked with us as a major driving force in the development and live performances of the S&M2 shows in San Francisco in September of 2019.”

“We cherished our time with MTT and learned so much working with him to prepare the S&M2 performances,” the post continues. “It was a very high honor to have him on the podium for our shows. He will be sorely missed.”

Michael Stipe debuts unreleased solo song ‘The Rest of Ever’ on ‘Colbert’

April 24, 2026 by WDNY Radio

R.E.M. frontman Michael Stipe debuted an unreleased song off his upcoming debut solo album Thursday night on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.

The track is called “The Rest of Ever.” Stipe sang lead vocals while backed by the Colbert house band, Louis Cato and The Great Big Joy Machine.

Stipe also sat down with Colbert for an interview and revealed that the long in-the-works album, which he’s been teasing since at least 2022, is finally set to be released at the end of 2026. He described one song on the record as “the sound of a tree hearing itself for the first time,” which apparently sounds like Daft Punk.

Elsewhere in the interview, Colbert asked Stipe who should play him if R.E.M. ever got their own biopic. After first replying, “Someone really hot,” Stipe thought about it for a bit before suggesting, “Maybe Billie Eilish could do it.”

“She held a door open for me once at a restaurant in Manhattan,” Stipe said of the alt-pop star. “I don’t know if she knew who I was. She’s incredibly polite and sweet, but I didn’t know who she was until she was down the street.”

Colbert then offered to introduce Stipe to Eilish and her brother and collaborator, FINNEAS.

Stipe also released a new song called “I Played the Fool” in March, which is the theme to the HBO series Rooster.

Muse shares new song ‘Cryogen’ from upcoming album, ‘The Wow! Signal’

April 24, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Muse has premiered a new song called “Cryogen,” a track off the band’s upcoming album, The Wow! Signal.

“After a squelching intro, Muse let loose a sky-scraping spiral of guitar before plunging into a roiling pool of smashing drums, grinding bass, and dramatic vocals,” a press release says of “Cryogen.” “Throughout it all, [frontman] Matt Bellamy paints a vivid picture of a man so deep in the thrall of another that he’s envisioned his tormentor as a frozen moon of Jupiter, and himself as a lost speck on the surface.”

To hear exactly what that sounds like, “Cryogen” is out now via digital outlets. A video is “landing soon,” Muse says.

The Wow! Signal, the follow-up to 2022’s Will of the People, is due out June 26. It also includes the singles “Be With You” and “Unravelling.”

Muse will launch a U.S. tour in July.

Madonna partners with Grindr app to promote ‘Confessions II’

April 24, 2026 by WDNY Radio

For her new album Confessions II, Madonna is doing something special for her most loyal fans: the queer community.

Ahead of the July 3 release of the album, Madonna is partnering with the Grindr LGBTQ+ social networking app, which describes itself as the “Global Gayborhood in Your Pocket,” for exclusive content, in-app experiences and a limited-edition picture disc version of the album. The in-app takeover will include additional limited drops and behind-the-scenes access to the Queen of Pop’s world.

“Grindr drives connections, shapes culture, and builds community – and no one embodies that spirit quite like Madonna,” says Grindr CEO George Arison in a statement. “She has been empowering our community to Express Yourself for decades, so this feels less like a partnership and more like a homecoming.”

Madonna isn’t the first female pop icon to partner with the app, either: Last year, Christina Aguilera arranged for her hit “Come on Over Baby (All I Want Is You)” to replace the app’s notification sound for a limited time.

On This Day, April 24, 1976: ‘Saturday Night Live’ offers The Beatles $3,000 to reunite

April 24, 2026 by WDNY Radio

On This Day, April 24, 1976…

Following rumors of a possible Beatles reunion, Saturday Night Live producer Lorne Michaels used a segment of the show to try and make that happen.

Michaels directly addressed Paul McCartney, John Lennon, George Harrison and Ringo Starr, noting that a reunion would be “great” and offered them $3,000 to reunite, holding up a check made out to The Beatles, noting they’d have to perform three songs.

Michaels joked about the check, “You divide it any way you want: if you want to give Ringo less that’s up to you. I’d rather not get involved.”

While the reunion never happened, it turns out McCartney and Lennon watched the segment together at Lennon’s New York apartment the Dakota, and thought about the offer, but in the end decided against it.

In the book All We Are Saying, by David Sheff, Lennon said they almost went to the studio but in the end decided they were too tired.

If you think Maryland’s not country, Jackson Dean’s ready to ‘Make a Liar’ of you

April 24, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Jackson Dean’s third album, Magnolia Sage, paints a picture of two different parts of the country.

The Magnolia half represents the Southeast and the East Coast, while Sage is oriented toward the West.

So where does the “Heaven’s to Betsy” hitmaker fall on the map?

“I was born and raised about 20 minutes outside of Annapolis, Maryland,” Jackson explains. “The town I grew up in is called Odenton. You’ve got a whole bunch of corn fields and you’ve got a whole bunch of crabs. The only thing city about Maryland is Baltimore and D.C.”

If you’re still wondering where he gets his country cred, Jackson points to his father.

“My dad was big into the blues and funk, but at heart he was [into] old country and stuff,” he says. “So, that’s where that part of it came in, you know.”

“I was born on a dead-end street with a gun range at the end of it that backed up to a swamp. And I spent more time in there than I did with people. So, that’s where that comes from,” he adds.

Magnolia Sage is out now, featuring Jackson’s latest hit, “Make a Liar.”

Ringo Starr takes a journey on the ‘Long Long Road’ with new album

April 24, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Ringo Starr’s new album, Long Long Road, which has roots in country and Americana, is out today.

It’s the second straight album he’s done with producer T Bone Burnett. At a recent listening party in Los Angeles, Ringo said Burnett made making the album easy, noting, “There’s a lot of great players in Nashville, and he knows most of them.”

Ringo said Burnett would send him “tracks with some meat on” them, and he would send back his drum and singing parts. Then Burnett would “complete the deal,” which Ringo describes as “a great way of working.”

And it was just as easy for Burnett, who said he’s been listening to Ringo play drums for so long that “his feel is in my DNA at this point. It’s in my cells, you know.”

“I’ve always thought of him as a Texas musician because he played so Texas,” he added. “He’s the swinginest drummer in the history of the United Kingdom. I can tell you that.”

Ringo said the title of the album represents “the road I’ve taken,” adding, “You know all of those stop marks on your walk of life, it’s so far out.”

He said that the title track “is me going through my things about my life.” And while he said some of it may have been bad, most of it wasn’t.

“I’ve been a lucky human being,” he said. “I got to do what I love to do.”

Long Long Road is the follow-up to Ringo’s 2025 country-inspired album, Look Up. It features guest appearances by Sheryl Crow, St. Vincent, Billy Strings, Molly Tuttle and Sarah Jarosz.
