Ather 450X subscription vs full-price purchase: What’s the difference?
We explain the difference between subscribing to the Ather 450X versus buying it at full price. Ever since the prices of the new Ather 450X were announced, there’s been considerable confusion and debate about the optional subscription plans.

Boys Noize – “Girl Crush” (Feat. Rico Nasty)
Are we about due for a blog-house revival? It wouldn't be the worst thing in the world, would it? Alexander Ridha, the German DJ and producer who records as Boys Noize, came up in the that whole mid-'00s wave, and he's been working steadily ever since. He's also become a prolific collaborator — working with Frank Ocean on "DHL" and with Skrillex and Ty Dolla $ign on "Midnight Hour." Today, Boys Noize has a new single out, a collaboration with the festival-wrecking rap energy-bomb Rico Nasty. The combination makes sense, Rico Nasty's single greatest collaborator is Kenny Beats, a veteran of the EDM universe, and Boys Noize records often have the kind of trashy energy that she can project. But "Girl Crush," the new Boys Noize/Rico collab, isn't really a Rico Nasty song. She doesn't rap in it. Instead, she purrs about a girl she likes over a pulsing electro beat. It's not doing a lot for me right now, but I could imagine it going off late at night in a room where everybody is on cocaine.

Cuomo had low hopes, and they were met. The governor's office and acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf said talks will continue. Before the meeting, Trump floated what appeared to be an offer he hoped New York couldn't refuse. Cuomo "must understand that National Security far exceeds politics," he tweeted, an apparent reference to the administration's purported rationale for blocking New Yorkers from the programs. "New York must stop all of its unnecessary lawsuits & harrassment [sic]." New York Attorney General Letitia James — who won a $2 million settlement from Trump over his canceled family charity and is suing him and his business on multiple fronts, including for his financial records — clapped back.…

Worriers – “Big Feelings”
Next month, the hearty and melodic punk band Worriers will follow up their great 2017 album Survival Pop with a new one called You Or Someone You Know. For this one, they worked with John Agnello, the veteran indie rock producer whose credits include albums from Dinosaur Jr., Sonic Youth, Kurt Vile, and Waxahatchee. Worriers have already dropped the early tracks "PWR CPLE" and "Terrible Boyfriend," and today they've dropped another new one called "Big Feelings." Like so many other Worriers songs, "Big Feelings" is a sort of anthem about fumbling through the difficulties of being a human being and interacting with other human beings. It's also a big, charged-up midtempo jam with a very serious hook. It's funny how you can sound totally confident bashing out songs about not feeling confident at all. Worriers are heading out on tour soon with both Brian Fallon and John K. Samson, which makes a whole lot of sense, since the song gives off serious Gaslight Anthem/Weakerthans vibes. Those

The Number Ones: Chic’s “Good Times”
In The Number Ones, I'm reviewing every single #1 single in the history of the Billboard Hot 100, starting with the chart's beginning, in 1958, and working my way up into the present. *** Chic – "Good Times" HIT #1: August 18, 1979 STAYED AT #1: 1 week "Here it is, y'all," Nile Rodgers told us. "The song that started hip-hop." This was in the summer of 2000, and Chic were playing a free show at Central Park SummerStage. Rodgers, never Chic's vocalist, still made for a great hypeman throughout the evening, throwing in asides about how everyone used to go off in the clubs to these songs. Halfway though "Good Times," Rodgers even underlined his point about the song, rapping a few bars of the Sugarhill Gang's "Rapper's Delight." Apparently, he now does this every time Chic perform "Good Times." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Er9xGRolrT4 Rodgers was not, strictly speaking, correct. Hip-hop had been an underground phenomenon in the Bronx and elsewhere in New York for years before Chic

This AI Travis Scott Is A Pretty Good Rapper And Obsessed With Food
Remember when Grimes said that "live music is going to be obsolete soon" because of AI art? Well, it looks like Travis Scott will be the first casualty of the robot wars, as digital agency Space150 has already created a fake Travis Scott song using artificial intelligence that they're calling, yes, Travis Bott. Adweek reports that Travis Bott's sure-to-be-a-hit debut single, "Jack Park Canny Dope Man," was generated entirely by a machine learning model trained on Travis Scott's music. Space150 fed Travis Scott lyrics into a text generator model for two weeks to make the verses, and additional neural network programs were used to produce the beat. "We were sort of fascinated with like, 'What if we tried to make a song — like an actual good song — by using AI and basically creative directing AI?'” explains Ned Lampert, executive creative director at Space150. “And so we chose Travis Scott just because he is just such a unique artist and he has a unique sound and everything sort of has

Erdogan’s visit to Islamabad. Economic cooperation will intensify
By Seymur Mammadov The official visit of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to Pakistan will be another milestone in further strengthening bilateral relations between the two countries in all areas. The two countries have always maintained and continue to maintain fraternal relations and in difficult times stand shoulder to shoulder with each other both in the fight against terrorism and at the international level, especially with regard to Ankara’s principled, unchanging position on the Kashmir issue. At the same time, Pakistan has always supported Turkey’s position on the Cyprus issue. Today, Turkey and Pakistan pursue an independent foreign policy and bear a heavy burden, which do not want to notice in the West. Both countries have similar experience in conducting a migration policy, have a tolerant policy towards their neighbors, and in Europe the concept of “multiculturalism” has become problematic and causes more and more irritation. From the 1980s to today, Pakistan has accepted up to 3.5 million Afghan…

House Republicans say stealing polling data through open blinds is kosher. Democrats say it's creepy.
The campaign organizations for House Democrats and Republicans — the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) and National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) — agree on the facts of what happened Wednesday night, Politico reported Friday morning: NRCC staffers walked across the street to the DCCC's headquarters to stake out some Democratic candidates, saw the blinds open on a DCCC polling meeting, and snapped some photos, nabbing pricy and potentially useful proprietary polling data on races Democrats are focusing on in November. Republicans think they hit the jackpot, Democrats found the tactics "totally out of bounds, and downright creepy," Politico reports. "The NRCC and DCCC have disagreed on where to draw the line when it comes to opposition research. The Republican committee, for example, has declined to sign an agreement to not use hacked information in its campaigns." Still, the DCCC didn't exactly take the high road.

Polo G – “Go Stupid” (Feat. Stunna 4 Vegas & NLE Choppa)
The young Chicago rapper Polo G has a rare gift for bluesy, melodic, mournful takes on his hometown's drill sound. Last year's Die A Legend, my favorite rap album of 2019, was a heavy piece of work that burst with thought and feeling. And yet Polo G can also flat-out rap when he feels like it, and that's what he does on his new single "Go Stupid." He has company. "Go Stupid" is a summit meeting between three extremely hungry rappers who all had breakout years in 2019. On "Go Stupid," Polo G teams up with Stunna 4 Vegas, the frequent DaBaby collaborator from North Carolina, and the young Memphis insurgent NLE Choppa. All of them are young — Polo is 21, Stunna is 24, and Choppa is 17. And on "Go Stupid," all of them have energy. The song, which has no chorus, is just all three rappers ripping up a Mike Will Made-It/Tay Keith beat. It's fun as hell. In director Michael Garcia's "Go Stupid" video, all three rappers incite an unruly day at a high-school. It's the sort of cheesy, ridiculous
