This year was supposed to mark the return of Not So Silent Night, the once-annual modern rock event that went down in the Bay Area each winter holiday season from 1991 to 2019. But today Live 105, the radio station that’s hosted the big gig, announced that Not So Silent Night 2025 has been canceled. No further explanation was provided.

Today, Brighton four-piece Lime Garden return with their first new music since releasing their debut album One More Thing last February. “Maybe Not Tonight” is an upbeat, angsty romp — a fitting conduit for any mid-week restlessness. The track is fueled by blog-rock angst, opening with a high-pitched honking that resembles a clown’s alarm clock. In the lyrics, Chloe Howard pushes her body to hedonistic extremes: “I just want to bop my head and smoke a cigarette/ I want to do it till my lungs go brown without any regret.”

Last year, Adele finished her latest Las Vegas residency and said that she was ready to take an “incredibly long” break as soon as those shows were done. This was expected. By any measure. Adele is one of the most popular singers on this planet we call Earth, but she does not play the pop-star game. Between album cycles, she disappears for years on end. The last time she was in the news, it was because Taylor Swift broke her first-week sales record, and I bet Adele didn’t care about that at all. So it’s a little surprising to learn that Adele is already coming back to the spotlight and that she’s doing it in a different way: She’s acting now.

Dallas-born, LA-based musician Liv.e has only gotten more prolific over the years. She released her debut album Couldn’t Wait To Tell You… in 2020, which was then followed by 2023’s Girl In The Half Pearl and last year’s PAST FUTUR.e. Today, she’s returned with a completely new project, teaming up with renowned Detroit drummer and producer Karriem Riggins as new duo GENA. The name is short for “God Energy, Naturally Amazing” and somewhat inspired by Tisha Campbell’s character Gina from the ’90s sitcom Martin. They shared their debut single “Circlesz” with a retro talk show video directed by Mackai Sharp.

UK punk-rap duo Bob Vylan have been targets of alarmist Zionist PR campaigns ever since they led a chant of “death, death, death to the IDF” at Glastonbury, and they’ve suffered real material losses for taking that stand. They had to cancel a US tour after their visas were revoked, and they’ve had other shows dropped, including a European tour with Gogol Bordello. Most recently, they denied “celebrating” Charlie Kirk’s death. But now prominent UK press outlet has had to apologize and pay for some of the rhetoric that they’ve directed at Bob Vylan.

Bill Callahan back! The singular indie figure will release his new album My Days Of 58 early next year. Callahan released YTI⅃AƎЯ, his last solo album, in 2022. Last year, he had a couple of songs with Noah Cyrus, which was interesting. Callahan recorded My Days Of 58 with the same group of musicians that backed him up on his YTI⅃AƎЯ tour: guitarist Matt Kinsey, saxophonist Dustin Laurenzi, and drummer Jim White. It’s also got fiddle from Richard Bowden, piano from Pat Thrasher, bass from Chris Vreeland, trombone from Mike St. Clair, and pedal steel from Bill McCullough.
