Ozzy Osbourne passed away today aged 76, mere weeks after a last performance both as a solo artist and with Black Sabbath (and with plenty of guests from the heavy metal world that all paid tribute to Sabbath and their legacy)
Here's that last short set with Sabbath, from Villa Park in Birmingham
(this was also mentioned in the Steam thread, but we have a dedicated music thread for a reason)

it says video unavailable :/ but I remember I have one of their albums, not bad
that reminds me, when people post youtube videos, its a good idea to additionally write what it is; browsing through this thread, many videos have been removed since, giving you no clue what was posted.
in this case, when you go to the URL manually, it'll still show you the title, "Into your Light", at least...just not the video for some reason

Alice Cooper has just released a new album – "The Revenge of Alice Cooper".
This is the Alice Cooper band, that had existed from 1968 to 1975. Alice Cooper, of course, is also the name of their lead singer, who had taken up the name and used it for his solo career.

The Unbelievable Truth are a indie/alternative rock band from Oxford, formed in 1993, who released two albums and a compilation before breaking up in 2000.
In 2008, their singer, Andy Yorke, released a solo album which was essentially a third studio album (as all band members were involved in the recording).
In 2023, they got back together, started playing live again and released a live album and a new EP. And now they released a new studio album called "Rich Inner Life"; it continues their trademark sound with 9 beautiful songs. I recommend listening to the EP as well, as they complement each other very well.

I watched a documentary on ARD yesterday that chronicled the search for "the most mysterious song on the internet".
In Germany in 1984, a teenager taped lots of music from the radio. He later catalogued all the songs but there was one song that remained unnamed and elusive – and later on, much later, his sister uploaded it to the Internet, and lots of others joined in in finding this obscure song.

this is in German only unfortunately, but here's coverage on Wikipedia (and people covered the search on Youtube etc over the years)
Spoiler: they eventually found the song – "Subways of your Mind" – and the band – Fex, from Kiel, Germany –, who were oblivious to the search.
I found this whole story farily interesting, that a search for something so elusive can attract so many people; there are many dedicated to finding lost media (or, when it comes to music specifically, "lostwave")
but I do get it, as I know the feeling when I have a tune in my mind and it'd drive me mad not knowing what it is

just slightly related; this song was also featured in the film (Camouflage – "The Great Commandant"; cool 80s synthpop)

Anna Calvi has released a new single – a cover of Will Oldhams (aka Bonnie Prince Billy) song "I see a Darkness"
Its a wonderful song about friendship, and she did it justice. She's a great artist anyway (seen her live a couple years ago) – I'm still waiting for a new album though.
The original • the more upbeat video version • the Johnny Cash version which also features Will Oldham on harmony vocals
