Stereogum — Travis Scott is the latest contemporary musician to get college course curriculum in his honor. The Creative Enterprise - Learning From Cactus Jack is a new class at the University Of Southern California's Annenberg School For Communication And Journalism, and it sounds like it'll take a broad look at how the rapper/producer/business mogul built recognition through his Cactus Jack imprint and other ventures (of which there are many).

Stereogum — Queens Of The Stone Age kicked off the first leg of their spectacular, symphonic Catacombs Tour last October, and last Friday night they resumed with a near-hometown show in the middle of the Joshua Tree Retreat Center. Notably, the set featured a one-off appearance from bassist/singer Nick Oliveri, who performed lead vocals for just one song, the Rated R cut "Auto Pilot." It was his first time performing with the band since 2014. The post Queens Of The Stone Age Reunite With Nick Oliveri At Joshua Tree appeared first on Stereogum. more info

Stereogum — Hayley Williams is not a fan of her fellow Nashville resident Morgan Wallen. The Paramore singer first publicly alluded to this last summer in an interview with Stereogum honky tonk correspondent Rachel Brown, during which she revealed that Wallen's This Bar & Tennessee Kitchen was her least favorite country musician-owned establishment in the city. That helped narrow down who Williams might be referring to on the title track to her recent solo album Ego Death At A Bachelorette Party , where she sings "I'll be the biggest star at this racist country singer's bar" (Jason Aldean and Kid Rock are also strong contenders). Williams was asked about that lyric a few months later during an interview on the New York Times' Popcast: "It could be [about] a couple people, but I'm always talking about Morgan Wallen," she said. "I don't give a shit. Find me at Whole Foods, bitch. I don't care."
