The countdown to Record Store Day continues today with a look at Dead By Sunrise and their only LP, Out of Ashes, that will be released on “black ice” vinyl for the first time in North America. For those unfamiliar with the band, they were fronted by Linkin Park’s Chester Bennington and included Ryan Shuck and Amir Derakh from Orgy. This album was officially released on September 30th, 2009 and was produced by veteran hit-maker Howard Benson. This “RSD First” release is limited to just 7,500 copies and comes courtesy of Warner Records.

Today I’m thrilled to bring everyone the latest video from Americana songwriting duo Misner & Smith called “Sadie’s Song.” Misner& Smith is the duo of Sam Misner (guitar) and Megan Smith, and they’re truly onto something great on songs like this. On this vibrant track that comes from their new LP, All Is Song, this duo capture the spirit of classic songwriters like Fleetwood Mac and Joni Mitchell in the best ways possible.

Today I’m so excited to introduce everyone to a great band called Faulty Cognitions, who are providing an early listen to their new single called “Your Inheritance.” Faulty Cognitions are a brand new quartet from San Antonio, TX, and they announce their arrival with a chiming, subtly melancholic guitar line – brand new yet instantly familiar. When speaking on his band’s new single, lead vocalist Chris Mason shared, “‘Your Inheritance’ is a story about power and privilege.” If you’re enjoying the early listen, please consider pre-ordering their new LP Somehow, Here We Are that releases on April 12th via Cercle Social Records here.

Elizabeth Lopatto, writing at The Verge:
Sometimes certain lines of business weren’t told about the revenue goals they were expected to fulfill. Meanwhile, the company’s actual accounting and expense controls were messy. For instance, Vice’s digital division had expenses from NetJets — a private jet service — on its profit and loss statement, two sources told me. (A third confirmed the NetJets account existed without saying which balance sheet it was on. Two sources took credit for eventually canceling the NetJets account. “Since at least 2021, Vice has not had a NetJets account,” according to Vice spokesperson Samira Sorzano.) One executive source alleged that the digital division was funding a production executive’s $350,000 salary — an executive who the source claims did virtually nothing. Another exec heard, to their shock, that someone had reportedly spent $24,000 on a one-way ticket from New York to London.
