79 year old Joni Mitchell has pulled her songs from Spotify and not because of the low streaming payout, but over podcaster Joe Rogan.

“Irresponsible people are spreading lies that are costing people their lives,” the Canadian musician said. “I stand in solidarity with Neil Young and the global scientific and medical communities on this issue.”

76-year-old Neil Young also wants popular podcaster Joe Rogan banned. He said the consequences were “potentially causing death to those who believe this disinformation spread,” saying, “They can have Rogan or Young. Not both.”

What caused the uproar? Joe Rogan had several doctors on his podcast questioning the efficacy and safety of drugs. Drug manufactures quickly retaliated after criticizing drug safety.

Pearl Jam is set to enter the studio with Andrew Watt who is known for his work with Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus all the way to Ozzy Osbourne. He’s a skillful guitarist and highly in demand. Watt also worked with Vedder on his upcoming solo album ‘Earthlings’.

Watt won Non-Classical Producer Of The Year at the 2021 Grammy Awards.

Vedder said: “We’ll make a record with Andrew, I believe. We’ve already talked about it. You know, the pandemic came right as we were leaving for a tour on the ‘Gigaton’ record. We had a lot of shows planned. Two-thirds of those shows were put on sale, even. So one thing we’ll be doing in 2022 in making good on promises to play those shows.”

Look out for Restless Modern and the new track On and On which was co-produced Co-produced with Peter Thomas (P!nk, Betty Who, Allie X).

The 25 year-old Wisconsin-based indie artist released several singles that has garnered over 30 million streams on Spotify and were highlighted by Billboard, Lyrical Lemonade, MTV and Atwood. Playlist include Spotify’s Pop Rising, young & free, sad hour, and Good Vibes.

Restless Modern notes, “Some of the most difficult and important conversations in society grow stale and taboo over time. To combat this, “on and on” covers its thematically dark underbelly with a billowing presentation of glittery pop-plastic elements meant both to distract superficially from and contextually lean into its confrontation of gaslighting, manipulation, and abuse.

Kings favorite Merchant drops the new track Empty that features John John Taylor from Duran Duran. The mid tempo track is sadder than the previous release but still uplifting to find a home on Spotify’s Indie Pop Playlist.

“I close the blinds and go back to sleep” is probably how a lot of us have felt these past few weeks with the resurgence a new Covid variant, but Merchant says there’s hope.

The Los Angeles based artist has received support from Ones To Watch, WFNM, KCRW, Lyndsey Havens of Billboard, and Lori Majewski & Simon Le Bon on Sirius XM. The tracks landed on Spotify’s “Fresh Finds” and “Fresh Finds Pop”.
