The Songs of Jesse Malin.” The triple-vinyl album, which is out Sept. 20, on Glassnote Records, will benefit Malin’s Sweet Relief artist fund.

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic In his autobiography, Elvis Costello wrote that the popular idea of him early on as an angry man was just a trick of physiology. He wrote: “It seems that the space between my two front teeth, which made Jane Birkin, Ray Davies, and Jerry Lewis so appealing, has had the effect of making half of what I say sound like a provocation or an insult.” It’s a funny self-observation, but let’s be real — as a writer as well as a singer, Costello gave the world a little help with that perception.

Billy Joel will perform his 150th and final concert at New York City’s Madison Square Garden.“To our audience, I want to thank them for coming to our shows for this long,” Joel shared at a press conference in 2023. “It’s hard to end (and) I just want to thank everyone for the wonderful thing that’s happened here.”Leading up to his swan song, the 75-year-old Rock and Roll Hall of Famer has made sure to make each show a spectacle.At his June gig, Phish frontman Trey Anastasio — no stranger to MSG himself — took the stage with Joel to perform his 1980 curio “Sleeping With The Television On,” a section of Derek and the Dominos’ classic “Layla” and a bit of the Piano Man’s “You May Be Right.”Before that, he was joined by Jerry Seinfeld and Sting in March for his 100th residency concert; last year, Elvis Costello and ZZ Top‘s Billy Gibbons jammed with Joel.Who will show up for this last show?

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic Daryl Hall and Elvis Costello, take a seat. That might be a thing to shout out as a request the next time these two veteran singers co-headline a tour together, rather than calling out for “Maneater” or “Pump It Up.” It’s not that they aren’t standup guys, or that there is anything about their energy levels that suggests they need to take a load off.

Jem Aswad Executive Editor, Music The Songwriters Hall of Fame, which staged its annual awards ceremony on Thursday night, is an institution and an event unlike any other in the music industry, even though many of its elements are hardly unique and many things about it have barely changed over decades, and possibly since it launched in 1969. Indeed, we say many of the same things about the ceremony in an article very similar to this one every year — it’s a combination of an awards show, a family reunion and a trade event that is invite-only yet features a mind-blowing array of Grammy-level, once-in-a-lifetime performances and tributes, always held at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in New York’s Times Square.

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic Feeling angry about Apple’s ranking of the 100 best albums of all time, are you? Good. (From their point of view.)
