Last week I went to the Norwegian Consulate in Manhattan, where all Norwegian musicians live when they play Bowery Ballroom (someone fact check that), and I ran into Sondre Lerche, the Bergen-born singer-songwriter who just released a lovely new album called 'Acrobats' on PLZ/Virgin.

MJ Lenderman played his first concert in five months in Durham, NC last night. His joint performances with Waxahatchee ran through May and the following month he dropped off Zach Bryan's tour for a well-deserved break, though he did play with Wednesday bandmate Karly Hartzman and Brad Cook at Tracey Nelson's popup show in the same city in July.

My Chemical Romance's The Black Parade was released 20 years ago today and it's still causing a stir.
