Blondie this morning premiered the music video for “Long Time,” a single off the band’s upcoming 11th studio album Pollinator that was co-written by Debbie Harry and Dev Hynes of Blood Orange. You can watch the video, directed by Dikayl Rimmasch and shot in New York City, here.
There’d been much speculation about who, if anyone, would fill in for the late Kurt Cobain should Nirvana choose to perform at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony. Last night, the surviving members of the band drafted a quartet of women to do that job.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this morning announced the nominees for its Class of 2012, a list that includes goth-pop legends The Cure as well as fellow first-time nominees Guns N’ Roses, Heart, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, and Eric B. and Rakim, plus past nominees Red Hot Chili Peppers, Beastie Boys and more.
