Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic Ohana Festival is California’s coolest music festival, literally, and there’s a case to be made for the figurative usage too. Eddie Vedder’s annual beachside gathering takes place yards away from the Doheny State Park cove where he learned to surf, and steady breezes over the weekend provided waves for dozens of surfers on one side of the chain-link fence and end-of-summer mellowness for about 15,000 concertgoers on the other. The festival doesn’t just have ocean draft to recommend it; there were rock squalls from Jack White, pop lungpower from Pink, whatever additional currents were caused by Stevie Nicks’ flowing garments… and, further down the bill, an honestly eclectic lineup that was like a continual 13-mph breath of fresh air.

Stevie Nicks headlined Eddie Vedder‘s Ohana Fest last night (September 30) – watch them perform ‘Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around’ together below.The Pearl Jam frontman has been running his own California-based festival since 2016, and over those years has hosted a series of collaborations on its stage. In 2021, he formed a new band for a covers-filled set after Kings of Leon, who were due to headline the event, pulled out after the death of their mother, Betty Ann.This weekend’s Ohana event is headlined by Stevie Nicks, Jack White and Pink, while Vedder will also play a solo headline set, after topping the bill on all three nights of last year’s event.The festival at Dana Point will also feature Broken Social Scene performing ‘You Forgot It In People’, and other sets by St.

Johnny Borrell has formed a new band, Jealous Nostril.The Razorlight frontman has recruited Mystery Jets’ Jack Flanagan and ElliS D for his latest venture, with Borrell explaining of the new band name: “Jealous Nostril, a binary system… One is fulfilled, the other isn’t.”Asked in an accompanying press statement if the name is a drug reference, Borrell replied: “The half of my north London friends who still party hear it as cocaine, and the half who have been through rehab ask me if it’s referencing Pranayama yoga breathing.“We’re definitely neither a coke or a yoga band! I actually think I just wanted a name that would help people under-estimate the band.”Jealous Nostril have released their debut single ‘Phase 6’ today (September 29), which was recorded in a single afternoon at Eastcote Studios in London.“I just think it is that simple: bands should sound like bands. Most don’t these days,” Borrell said of the single.“When it comes to the process of getting the songs down, we’re pretty much more Jack White than Jack White.

Neil Young has interrupted an interview between Jack White and Rick Rubin, during the most recent episode of Rubin’s Broken Record podcast.White and Rubin were well into their 1.5 hour-long interview when Young — who’d been recording new music in the same Malibu studio — gatecrashed the proceedings and joined in on the pair’s conversation. White commended Young’s ability to maintain a decades-long career in the music industry and likened the singer to The Rolling Stones.“I remember when I was 12 and The Rolling Stones were 40 and everyone was like, ‘Oh my god,’ and it’s so nice that you guys are able to sort of prove that,” White said.

Mykki Blanco has released the latest single from their upcoming album, ‘Stay Close To Music’, a track called ‘Pink Diamond Bezel’.“I am always hoping to create a new alchemy for my sound and for my entire career I have been experimenting with how far I can push rap – from the production to the musical choices to the inspirations”, says Blanco. “Much of my new album and last year’s ‘Broken Hearts & Beautysleep’ is a departure from anything I had done in the past and I hadn’t really made a hip-hop track in years when I wrote ‘Pink Diamond Bezel.’ The song feels as if it’s the love child of Pharrell Williams and The Neptunes as much as Jack White”.“When I think about the vibe of ‘Pink Diamond Bezel’ I imagine a stretch limousine riding through snow-capped mountains, drinking Kahula and cream with a group of friends in cashmere sweaters, very après-ski, then out of nowhere a shaman appears in the middle of the road, the car halts – a spell is cast, the road catches fire, and we’re forced to kneel in supplication to the forces of nature”, they go on.

Chris Shiflett has shared his latest solo single ‘Born & Raised’ – you can listen to the track below.The Foo Fighters guitarist recorded the song at the same time as ‘Long, Long Year’, which arrived back in July.While both of the songs were recorded with the producer Vance Powell in Nashville, ‘Born & Raised’ started life in Shiflett’s hometown of Santa Barbara.He later teamed up with bassist Jack Lawrence (The Raconteurs, Jack White, Wanda Jackson), drummer Julian Doro (Eagles of Death Metal, The Whigs), keyboardist Mike Webb and steel guitarist Luke Schneider in Nashville to finish ‘Born & Raised’, which you can hear below.“My trip out to Nashville in March 2021 was my first time recording any solo material since I made [2019 solo album] ‘Hard Lessons’,” Shiflett said of the recording.“I hadn’t done much traveling post-COVID lockdown so I was a little nervous heading out there to work with a producer and roomful of musicians I didn’t really know.  In true Nashville style we made our introductions and got right down to work, hammering out the basic tracks in a few hours.“Vance was great and made me feel right at home, and the group of players he put together were on point.”More new music from Shiflett is expected to arrive in the coming months.Shiflett took part in last weekend’s tribute concert for the late Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins, which took place at Wembley Stadium in London.

Jack White has responded.The supervillain’s real name was featured in the Flashpoint Beyond comic series, a sequel to Flashpoint, which sees the Batman storyline taking place in an alternate reality. In it, Martha, who is that universe’s Joker, asks a character called Psycho-Pirate to reveal everything he knows about the DC universe, including the original Joker’s true name.White has called the Joker’s real name reveal as more than a “coincidence” since he had drawn inspiration from the character.“An interesting note; during the process of putting together the artwork for my album ‘Fear of the Dawn’ last year, I asked artist Rob Jones to communicate with the amazing DC comic artist Mikel Janin to see if he would be interested in a commission: illustrating me in the range of the style that he draws his version of The Joker for DC comics,” white said via Instagram.White added: “Bizarre patterns and coincidences emerge in the universe that we only see glimpses of at times, some meaningful, some meaningless.

Jack White has shared some thoughts on Snoop Dogg and Master P‘s new breakfast cereal, ‘Snoop Loopz’.Made by the rappers’ company Broadus Foods, ‘Snoop Loopz’ is a gluten-free multigrain cereal that contains “more corn, more flavour and more marshmallows”.Broadus Foods are also donating a portion of profits from sales of their products to charity, including the homelessness organisation Door Of Hope.White shared an Instagram post yesterday (August 16) about ‘Snoop Loopz’ in which he congratulated Snoop “on his new cereal release, and a pat on the back for its charitable benefits that it will be producing, nice one”.“But,” he added, “I do have a couple of important questions about the box that the cereal is delivered to customers in.“In the press release from Broadus Foods, the photo of the cereal box contains the words ‘MORE MARSHMALLOWS’. More than what? If this is in fact a brand new cereal, it can’t be more marshmallows than ‘before’.A post shared by Jack White (@officialjackwhite)“Is it a statement that this cereal has more marshmallows than say… a bag of sand, or a typical Caesar salad? Or, is it a DEMAND from Snoop Dogg himself that we just have more marshmallows in this world in general? That last theory is my hope.“Lastly, the photograph on Master P’s Instagram shows a DIFFERENT phrase, an un-plural ‘MORE MARSHMALLOW’ without the ‘S’.”White concluded his post: “Photo attached, answers demanded.” Snoop has yet to respond to White’s questions.Earlier this week, Snoop was pictured in the studio with Eminem and Dr.
