Prepare to cook a delicious vegetarian meal brought to you from the exclusive cookbook of Feist, inspired by her 2017 album, Pleasure.

Watch: Feist on modern music

"We hope this book will embolden you to expand your repertoire, stock up on simple staples and invite friends into your kitchen to cook some of these meals with them," the "1234" singer said in a statement, according to Rolling Stone.

The profits from the cookbook will go toward Community Food Centres Canada, a non-profit that promotes "health, belonging and social justice in low-income communities across Canada through the power of food."

Pleasures the cookbook will be available starting Dec. 11 via Feist's web store.

It's the end of an era. Vans Warped Tour will play the final show of its last full cross-country tour on Aug. 5 in West Palm Beach, Fla. For the many musicians and fans who came to call the summer festival home, however, Warped Tour is offering the chance for one final gift — the compilation album, The Final Hours.

Check Out Warped Tour 2018 Opening Day

The compilation, which will be offered as a limited-edition download, captures two songs from every band playing the final night of this year's Warped Tour. You'll get unforgettable performances to listen to on repeat from the likes of Wage War, We The Kings, Reel Big Fish, Doll Skin, Issues, As It Is, Ice Nine Kills, Kublai Khan, and Sense Fail, among others.

The collection is available for preorder now for a minimum donation of $20. All proceeds raised from album sales will go to Warped Tour Founder Kevin Lyman's new charitable enterprise, FEND, which raises awareness about opioid addiction. The Final Hours will be available for download within 12 hours of the tour's last note.

Take a sneak peek into the GRAMMY-nominated rocker's upcoming documentary

Are rock stars born or made? In the case of Joan Jett, you could argue both. But the upcoming documentary, Bad Reputation, might get us closer to the answer by giving us a little more insight into the GRAMMY-nominated rocker's life and career.

A new trailer for the film, directed by Kevin Kerslake, covers Jett's rise as a musician, including navigating the boys club of rock and roll, her first band the Runaways, her solo work, and co-founding Blackheart Records. And it all started with her first guitar at age 13.

"I went and took a lesson and the guy said, 'Girls don't play rock and roll,'" she reveals. "And I said, 'Bull.' … Tell me I can't do something, you know I'm gonna be doing it."

The film will include archival footage as well as interviews with Jett and Billie Joe Armstrong, Iggy Pop, Pete Townshend, Debbie Harry, and Miley Cyrus who will paint their personal pictures of Jett.

You can get your hands on the full-length feature documentary starting Sept. 28. While it may be titled Bad Reputation, Jett's legacy has inspired all of us to shout from the rooftops right along with her: "I Love Rock 'N Roll."

The GRAMMY-winning singer/songwriter will bring back her unique musical style with a new album this fall

Yoko Ono is back at it with new music, and this time she's bringing it to you from inside a Warzone.

The GRAMMY-winning singer/songwriter and famed wife of the late John Lennon is set to release her latest album on Oct. 19. With a slate of 13 tracks, Ono reimagines new versions of songs originally recorded between 1970 and 2009, giving them a fresh look for 2018.

The album's title track, for example, comes from Ono's 1996 album Rising, along with "Where Do We Go From Here." She's also done a new version of Lennon's "Imagine," 1985's "Children Power" from Starpeace and "Now Or Never" from 1973's Approximately Infinite Universe. 

Warzone, like most of Ono's projects, rely on a minimalist soundscape that allows her activist lyrics to take center stage. According to Ono, this project reflects her thoughts on today's world, scenarios aptly captured with reimagined versions of earlier material.

I have made a new album - WARZONE -
I will be previewing a track every Tuesday for 12 weeks until its release on October 19th.

"The world is so messed up. Things are very difficult for everybody. It's a warzone that we are living in,” Ono said in a statement. "I like to create things in a new way. Every day things change."

Look for Warzone in full on Oct. 19, and in the meantime, enjoy a new track from the album, which will be previewed every Tuesday via Ono's website.

Shirley Manson, James Blake On Mental Health shirley-manson-james-blake-open-about-mental-health

Shirley Manson, James Blake Open Up About Mental Health

Facebook Twitter Email
The two singer/songwriters spoke candidly about their struggle with mental illness this week

Part of the raising awareness about mental health in the music community is talking about it. As difficult as this can be, when we talk about our own struggles with mental illness, we open the door for others to speak up and reach out for help. This week, Garbage's lead singer Shirley Manson and British singer/songwriter James Blake did just this.

Manson penned an article for The New York Times on her history with self-injury, which became her coping method as a teenager to deal with overwhelming circumstances. The need to self-injure stopped when she found herself in a loving relationship later on, but the urges returned during what Manson describes as the "immense physical and mental pressure" of touring the reissued version of Garbage's 1998 album, Version 2.0.

Separately during the a panel titled "You Got This: Managing the Suicide Crisis in the Arts Population" at the Performing Arts Medicine Association's annual symposium on July 1, Blake echoed a similar sentiment when he recounted his own mental health struggles due to the rigors of touring.

"Your connection to other people becomes surface level," Blake said of being on tour, which led to depression and "eventual suicidal thoughts." "If you were only in town for one day and someone asked you how you are, you go into the good stuff … which generally doesn't involve how anxious you feel [or] how depressed you feel."

— James Blake (@jamesblake) May 26, 2018

Blake also expressed frustration about the myth that creativity must include some kind of suffering. In fact, Blake says the opposite is true in his experience.

"There is this myth that you have to be anxious to be creative, that you have to be depressed to be a genius," Blake said. "I can truly say that anxiety has never helped me create. And I've watched it destroy my friends' creative process, too."

Blake sought mental health treatment and found a healthy support system in his partner. As a result, he's learned to say no to constant touring, which has benefited his health and wellness. Manson, meanwhile, has been able to keep her health goals top of mind and take a stand against mental illness.  

"I vow to hold my ground. I choose to speak up. I attempt to be kind, not only to myself but also to other people," Manson wrote. "I surround myself with those who treat me well. I strive to be creative and determine to do things that make me happy. I believe it is not what we look like that is important, but who we are."

And as for why it's important for artists to speak out on difficult topics like mental health, Blake identifies that this generation of artists — and all of us — have a responsibility to reduce the stigma of seeking support for our mental health to reduce the number of people who suffer in silence.

"We are the generation that's watched several other generations of musicians turn to drugs and turn to excess and coping mechanisms that have destroyed them," Blake said during the panel. "There are so many high-profile people recently who have taken their own lives. So we have a responsibility to talk about it and remove the stigma."
