Frontwoman Alicia Bognanno said of the new album: “I feel like all my best work has been born of heartbreak and upheaval; maybe most musicians feel that way. The title of the record -- Losing -- kind of says it all.” Bully will be in Seattle on Wednesday, February 28 to play Neumos. [ Paste ]

DOOM (fka MF Doom) has been releasing a single a week via Adult Swim's singles series The Missing Notebook Rhymes the past couple months.

We are glad to have had the chance to provide the previous free tracks to our fans." The series was supposed to continue until November 13. Luckily, this ending hasn't stopped DOOM from releasing new music on his own. Today he shared the song "Gorilla Monsoon" from his new collaboration with Buffalo rapper Westside Gunn that they're calling WESTSIDEDOOM. [ Pitchfork ]
