Ben Folds / 2020
2020 will be a year for the not-so-great memories, if not the record books. A year marked by protests and a pandemic, 2020 will go down as a cosmic crossroad of near-disaster that usually only comes one at a time, and Ben Folds captures the mood perfectly in his new single "2020".
Kids See Ghosts

The Broken Record podcast got Mike D, Ad-Rock, and Spike Jonze, who directed the new Beastie Boys documentary, to talk about the record and their lives leading up to the album's release.
Greyhound
Before the United States could join the fight against Germany in WWII, it had to get troops and materiel to Europe — and that meant crossing the Atlantic. 2,710 Liberty cargo ships were built between 1941 and 1945 to ferry that industrial output, and Germany responded with Operation Drumbeat, swarming shipping routes with their superior u-boats — and it was carnage at sea. Greyhound stars Tom Hanks as Commander Ernest Krause of the USS Keeling, code-named Greyhound, as he leads an escort against the German wolf pack. The film will premiere on Apple TV+ on July 10, 2020.
