Hey Zappagrammers,

After my Beyonce diatribe last week, I’ll keep this week’s commentary to a minimum. A few things of importance I think you should know:

• The new Khruangbin album is a thing of absolute beauty. If you want music to soothe your troubled soul, look no further than their sublime new release, A La Sala. Click the link to buy the album or stream on your platform of choice.

• It’s been 30 years since we lost Kurt Cobain. Do you feel old now? I do.

• Once again, Spotify is about to raise their prices. Read more on this greedy bastard move below.

• Billie Eilish added everyone following her to her close friends list on Instagram. She also has a new album rumored to drop soon.

• There are tons of tours to look forward to in 2024.

• Billboard published a piece asking whether UMG’s TikTok ban is hurting its U.S. streaming numbers. Spoiler alert: fuck no.

That’s it for now.
