Pulp capped off their big year by stopping by NPR's DC offices for an enthralling Tiny Desk Concert. Watch it below. According to the performance's description, the group psyched themselves up beforehand by singing, "This will be the very best Tiny Desk," in unison. Then, they launched into a career-spanning, four-song set featuring Jarvis Cocker getting off some stilted dance moves to accompany his deadpan vocals.

The bassist, singer, songwriter, and producer recruited Greg Kurstin for the pair of new songs, which arrive off a string of collaborative tracks over the last several years. "I Wish I Didn't Waste Your Time" is a kaleidoscopic slice of R&B, with harmony-laden vocals from Thundercat and lyrics about self-doubt and regret. The song technically serves as Thundercat's first solo single in over five years.

King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard have raised the bar. After leaving Spotify earlier this summer over the streaming platform CEO Daniel Ek's investment in AI drone technology, the Australian psych rockers have added all of their music to Bandcamp, using a name-your-price model for fans looking to access their digital catalog. "Can we put pressure on these Dr. Evil tech bros to do better? Join us on another platform," the band posted to Instagram back in July.

Earlier this month, John Fogerty revisited his rich, rich past with the release of Legacy: the Creedence Clearwater Revival. Featuring 20 re-recorded CCR classics - including "Fortunate Son," "Bad Moon Rising," and "Have You Ever Seen the Rain" - the album is very much about the iconic singer further cementing his place in music history. But the 80-year-old also isn't done forging his creative future, and as such, he'll be bringing Legacy on the road this fall.

Cursive have announced a new run of US shows in the Northeast and Midwest to wrap up the year. They're promising to play "choice cuts" from their most recent album, last year's Devourer, along with "each and every classic song you could hope to hear," and add, "expect to hear plenty from both The Ugly Organ and Domestica too." AJJ will open the shows in stripped down, duo formation (Sean Bonnette and Ben Gallaty), and you can see all dates below.

Minus The Bear are back after a seven-year hiatus to celebrate the 20th anniversary of their classic sophomore album Menos El Oso, with a new expanded reissue out and plans to perform the album in full on tour this fall. Before that though, they warmed up with a last-minute, very intimate hometown show at Seattle's 170-capacity Sunset Tavern on Saturday (8/23).

The expanded edition is out on October 10th via Legacy Recordings, and pre-orders are now available. Available in either 2xLP or 2xCD packaging, the reissue features the original John Cale-produced album newly remastered directly from the original 1/4-inch master tapes. It also includes Smith's 1975 RCA demo tape alongside four previously unreleased songs: "Distant Fingers," "The Hunter Gets Captured by The Game," and "Snowball." Stream the latter track below.
