The Rolling Stones have formally unveiled Foreign Tongues, their 35th studio album. Arriving on July 10 via Capitol, the band first suggested their new release last month with a series of increasingly public teases, building from posts on a burner Instagram account to a limited vinyl-exclusive first single and global billboard campaign. With their official announcement, the band has shared the project’s second single, another raucous fireball of guitars with wide-eyed piano and arena-grade cooing harmonies.
EXCLUSIVE
John Mailander’s Forecast has unveiled its spellbinding adaptation of Buffy Sainte-Marie’s “Little Wheel Spin and Spin.” Today’s Relix exclusive reverberates George Santayana’s aphorism, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it,” and underscores that astute truth by way of Mailander’s instrumental expertise as a conductor, crafting soundscapes that carry a current that whips with the force of the Santa Ana winds against the fins of a Mojave weathervane. The single and visual equalizer arrive ahead of the group’s EP, Little Wheel // Hope Looming, which is due out independently on Friday, May 8.
The Night It All Began: May 5, 1965. The Warlocks’ Debut at Magoo’s Pizza Parlor in Menlo Park, Calif.
On May 5, 1965, a band called the Warlocks played their first public show at Magoo’s Pizza Parlor in Menlo Park, Calif. Just months later, they would become the Grateful Dead.
This t-shirt pays tribute to the humble venue where it all began—before the acid tests, before the stadiums, before the legend. Designed to honor the birth of the Dead, this piece celebrates the raw beginnings of a band that would go on to change music history. Whether you're a longtime Head or a new fan, this tee lets you wear a piece of that origin story with pride.

In October of 1974, the Grateful Dead entered uncharted territory. After a nearly ten-year cycle on the scene, the group turned in “The Last One” at the Winterland on October 20 and accepted their fate after feeling the weight of fatigued planning and the financial pressures of their road-fledgling journey while toting the Wall of Sound. As a fresh offering, a newly remastered version of Steal Your Face, the band’s 1976-released, double-live record, draws on their historic five-concert farewell as a marker of the set’s 50th anniversary and is due to arrive on June 26.
May 1967: the Grateful Dead's debut album has been in the world for seven weeks, Monterey Pop is six weeks out, and the Summer of Love is about to detonate San Francisco into the national consciousness. This two-night stand at the Fillmore catches the Dead at the precise hinge point, a recording band now, but still playing the room that made them, right before everything went irreversibly wide.
“The Sound: Fillmore & Winterland Originals, 1966–1970” is twenty-one lots drawn from a single private archive. Posters, handbills, and tickets spanning the foundational years of San Francisco rock and Grateful Dead history.
