September 16, 2025 by WDNY Radio

Fall Out Boy‘s Patrick Stump is featured on a new song from Motion City Soundtrack called “Particle Physics.”

Stump duets with MCS vocalist Justin Pierre as they sing, “Is there a doctor in the house/ Who could figure me out?/ It’s like you need a PhD to get me.”

“Huge thank you to Patrick Stump for jumping on this track with us,” the “Everything Is Alright” outfit says.

“Particle Physics” will appear on the upcoming Motion City Soundtrack album, The Same Old Wasted Wonderful World, due out Friday.

Motion City Soundtrack will play album release shows in Chicago and Minneapolis on Wednesday and Friday before launching a full U.S. tour with Say Anything in November.

Fall Out Boy’s most recent album is 2023’s So Much (for) Stardust. They’re putting out a 20th anniversary reissue of their breakout 2005 album, From Under the Cork Tree, on Oct. 17.

Matt Cameron talks departure from Pearl Jam: ‘It’s been fine’

September 16, 2025 by WDNY Radio

Drummer Matt Cameron has opened up regarding his departure from Pearl Jam in an interview with Billboard.

Cameron, who played in Soundgarden before joining up with Eddie Vedder and company, announced in July he was leaving the grunge rockers after 27 years in the group.

“I definitely gave them a lot of notice,” Cameron says. “I’ve spoken with [bassist] Jeff [Ament] and [guitarist] Stone [Gossard] a little bit[.] … It’s been fine. Hopefully we’ll get back together at some point and have a beer or something.”

After announcing his Pearl Jam exit, Cameron clarified that he’s “still an active musician” and tells Billboard that he’s been working on new original material.

“I’m at a point in my life where I want to redirect my time and energy in a way that is a little bit based on what I want to pursue as an artist at this point,” Cameron says.

Cameron also plans to return to the road, though he’s not looking to recreate Pearl Jam’s marathon performances.

“I was having some issues with [Pearl Jam’s] three-hour shows and constant touring and stuff,” Cameron adds. “That’s definitely an art form unto itself, to be able to do those types of shows … I’m at a point now where I want to do a face-melting 70-minute set, and that’s kind of what I’m focusing on right now.”

Elsewhere in the interview, Cameron speaks on the progress of the new Soundgarden album, which they’d been working on prior to frontman Chris Cornell‘s death in 2017.

“We’re definitely over halfway done with it,” Cameron says. “[Guitarist] Kim [Thayil] is in the process of finishing his guitar parts; he wants to make sure they get exactly the way he wants them.”

Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Dave Mason announces retirement from touring

September 16, 2025 by WDNY Radio

Dave Mason, best known for his work with Traffic, has announced his retirement from touring after 60 years in the business.

The 79-year-old artist says “ongoing health challenges” are the reason behind his “difficult decision” to give up the road.

In September 2024, Mason canceled his Traffic Jam tour due to an urgent heart condition. He was supposed to launch a new tour in July, but canceled that as well because he needed time to recover from an infection he developed in March.

“He retires from touring a happy man with a heart full of gratitude to his band members, business colleagues, and especially his legions of fans who made his life one of deep satisfaction and fulfillment,” reads the press release announcing his retirement. “The immensity of his joy remains solid as he steps back from the stage.”

Mason is one of the founding members of Traffic, which he formed in April 1967 with Jim Capaldi, Steve Winwood and Chris Wood. He wrote their hit “Feelin’ Alright?,” which has been covered by a variety of artists, most notably Joe Cocker. He also had a solo hit with 1977’s “We Just Disagree,” which peaked at #12 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Mason has also had a successful career as a session musician and appeared on well-known albums by artists like Jimi Hendrix, George Harrison, Paul McCartney and Wings, The Rolling Stones and more.

He was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2004 as a member of Traffic.

But just because Mason’s retiring doesn’t mean this is the last we’ll hear from him. He’s got an upcoming children’s book and is also “culling over unreleased tracks from his 60-year career of live performances.”

On This Day, Sept. 16, 1977: Talking Heads release their debut album

September 16, 2025 by WDNY Radio

On This Day, Sept. 16, 1977 …

Talking Heads released their debut album, Talking Heads: 77, featuring the now-classic “Psycho Killer,” as well as “Uh-Oh,” “Love Comes to Town” and “Don’t Worry About the Government.”

Jon Bon Jovi’s cousin Tony Bongiovi was credited as one of the album’s producers, though the band disliked him and later claimed the engineer, Ed Stasium, did most of the work.

While the album never got higher than #97 on the Billboard 200 chart, Rolling Stone included it on its list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time in 2003.

Talking Heads went on to release seven more studio albums, their last being 1988’s Naked. They also released the soundtrack to their critically acclaimed documentary Stop Making Sense, which spent 119 weeks on the Billboard 200.

In November 2024, Talking Heads celebrated their debut album with the release of a new box set, Talking Heads: 77 (Super Deluxe Edition), featuring a remaster of the original release, bonus material and live recordings.

New documentary shows why everything Elton John touches turns to gold

September 16, 2025 by WDNY Radio

Gold records, gold Grammys, gold lamé outfits, gold jewelry — Elton John‘s life has been full of gold. That’s why he’s starring in a new documentary called Touched by Gold, produced by the World Gold Council — who knew that was a thing?

In the doc, Elton shows off his first-ever Gold record, which he says made him feel like he’d “made it”; his gold stage outfits, including his gold platform boots; and his trophies, including a custom EGOT statue he commissioned to mark the fact that he’s won at least one Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony. “An award doesn’t really look right unless it’s in gold,” he points out.

Elton also reminisces about his and husband David Furnish‘s wedding day, which took place when gay marriage became legal in the U.K. They already had their sons, Zachary Furnish-John and Elijah Furnish-John, who were 3 and 1 at the time, so they tied their gold wedding rings to stuffed rabbits and had the boys present them to their dads at the ceremony.

Gold also follows Elton into the studio: He explains that the best microphones have a gold-coated diaphragm inside them. “So obviously, I’ve gotten through a lot of gold, as I’ve been in the studio many times,” he notes. Gold is even found inside the pacemaker Elton had to get in 1999.

The weirdest gold thing Elton owns, though, would have to be the gold pendant and brooch he had made out of his left and right kneecaps after he had them removed and replaced with artificial knees. “I will no longer bow to any man” is written in Latin on the back of the pendant, because you can’t without kneecaps.
