In the 1980s, Beggar Weeds were Jacksonville punks sleeping under trucks, opening for X, recording with Michael Stipe, and skinny-dipping with David Berman. In a new, career-defining reissue, they’re the long-missing link between R.E.M. and Uncle Tupelo.
The alt-country legend sat down with Paste to discuss bringing courage to her vocation, what it takes to write political music that lives up to her hero Bob Dylan’s, and her most recent album, World’s Gone Wrong.

Though everyone will likely want to talk about Liam Hemsworth joining #TheWitcher this season, it's the series's women who are the major reason to tune in. (All hail Anya Chalotra.) My review at @pastemagazine.bsky.social:
Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere has its moments, but you might be better off with biographies or a 33 1/3 book.
Since 1942, U.S. Presidents have famously hosted film screenings in the plush White House theater, which Donald Trump just destroyed.
AMC’s new Anne Rice series #Talamasca: doesn’t reach the campy, melodramatic heights of Interview with the Vampire — what does, really?? — but it’s got a fun spy thriller premise and William Fichtner is reason enough to watch on his own. My review at @pastemagazine.bsky.social:
Paste sat down with the former Rolling Stone writer and Almost Famous filmmaker Cameron Crowe for a long talk about... everything.

IT WAS JUST AN ACCIDENT is making its way to screens stateside (and just played LFF in the the UK), and I reviewed the film for @pastemagazine.bsky.social. A wry and moving film from Jafar Panahi, perhaps more about how life rolls on than actual revenge

Between its Y2K aesthetic and buttery smooth bunny hop-adjacent movement, Don't Stop, Girlypop! seems like one to look out for. www.endlessmode.com/article/dont...
