    SNL 50 Concert: Watch Nirvana With Post Malone, Lady Gaga With The Lonely Island, Robyn With Davi...

    SNL50: The Homecoming Concert — a nearly three-and-a-half-hour extravaganza produced by SNL creator/producer Lorne Michaels and Mark Ronson — took place at New York City’s Radio City Music Hall tonight. The event featured popular musicians young and old who have performed on NBC’s sketch comedy series over the decades, and the audience was filled with people who worked on the show in some form or another, so there were a lot of reaction shots of delighted celebrities. Even many of the commercials starred past SNL characters, and the show is just one part of the program’s 50th anniversary weekend festivities, which culminate with a prime time SNL50: The Anniversary Celebration special airing Sunday night.

    Saturday Night Live’s 50th anniversary festivities have already given us Nirvana x Post Malone, a Joanna Newsom sighting, and the revelation that creator/producer Lorne Michaels once called Taylor Swift a “terrorist.”

    Tonight’s SNL50: The Anniversary Celebration opened with a surprise Paul Simon/Sabrina Carpenter duet and closed over three hours later with another Paul. Paul McCartney, who we just caught in a pop-up show at the intimate Bowery Ballroom this week, has been a musical guest on the series four times — in 1980, 1993, 2010, and 2012. He also appeared on the 40th anniversary special and in several comedy segments on the show (remember The Chris Farley Show?) over the years.

    Yellowjackets ’ Christina Ricci Has No Love For Live

    In 1994, Live released Throwing Copper and became omnipresent on MTV. These days they probably wish they had never dropped their original band name Public Affection, but that blockbuster third album came a few decades before the York, PA alt-rockers had to worry about SEO. Its singles remain hits on rock radio to this day, none more so than “Lightning Crashes.” Perhaps you remember its lyric “her placenta falls to the floor”? Or when the confusion sets in during its video (“Nobody’s dying in the act of childbirth,” frontman Ed Kowalczyk later clarified in Spin).

    Last weekend’s Saturday Night Live ended with the viral moment of musical guest Morgan Wallen inexplicably exiting the stage during Goodnights then posting “Get me to God’s country” over a photo of his private jet. Wallen hasn’t addressed the ensuing controversy, but he’s now selling merch with the phrase. “Whatever,” cast member and GERD awareness spokesperson Kenan Thompson said about the situation a few days later. “We got Jack Black this week. We’re here talking about GERD. We will be fine.”

    Lorde Returns With New Single "What Was That": Listen

    It’s been four years since the last Lorde summer, although the artist born Ella Yelich-O’Connor hasn’t been totally quiet since her Jack Antonoff-produced “weed album” Solar Power. She sang in te reo Māori on both a Solar Power companion EP and a Marlon Williams album; she covered Talking Heads, MUNA, Bananarama, the Strokes, Rosalía, and Britney Spears; and she broke the internet by joining Charli XCX on a remix of “Girl, so confusing.” Anticipation for LP4 has been growing since the New Zealand pop star previewed new music at a UK festival two years ago and now we finally have our first taste.

    Sting Sued For Millions By Police Bandmates Over “Every Breath You ...

    The Police’s “Every Breath You Take,” the minor key ballad from 1983’s Synchonicity, their final album, is the band’s signature song. It’s a Song Of The Year Grammy winner, the Police’s only US Hot 100 #1, and the best selling single of 1983. BMI has recognized it as “the most played song in radio history.” Guitarist Andy Summers came up with its iconic Béla Bartók-inspired arpeggiated riff, but Sting wrote the chord progression on organ, along with the lyrics, at Ian Fleming’s GoldenEye estate in Jamaica in 1982, and the singer/bassist retained sole writing credit.

    Wellness Check: The Lemonheads’ Evan Dando

    The Lemonheads made some of the best sugary alt-rock albums of the ’90s. On Oct. 24 they’ll release Love Chant, the band’s first new collection of all-original songs in 19 years, via Fire Records. Lead Lemonhead Evan Dando has an intriguing memoir coming too — Rumors Of My Demise is out Oct. 7 via Gallery Books in the US and Faber Books in the UK. Then their ongoing world tour lands in America in November. With all this activity, Dando scheduled an appointment with Stereogum wellness correspondent Rachel Brown to discuss how his mind and body are holding up.
