EXCLUSIVE JIMI HENDRIX: LIVE IN 1970 “We plan for our sound to go inside the soul of the person,” Hendrix says in an archival video from the new Showtime documentary Jimi Hendrix: Electric Church. Head over to Rolling-Stone.com to see an exclusive clip of the legend performing “Purple Haze” for one of his biggest crowds ever, at the Atlanta International Pop Festival just months before his death. RS FILMS SHERYL CROW UP CLOSE See Crow perform at Nashville’s tiny Bluebird Café and talk about her past life singing McDonald’s jingles, her current life in Music City and more. Presented by Patrón. MUSIC YO LA TENGO: LIFE IN 15 SONGS The indie-rock heroes from Hoboken, New Jersey, share the stories behind the songs that made them – from 2000’s “You Can…

1. Lana Del Rey “High by the Beach” Lana’s back to her old self: On this sultry summer jam from her upcoming Honeymoon, she nails the tragically cool pop vibes that made her a star. “All I wanna do is get high by the beach,” she sings. We know the feeling! 2. Potty Mouth “Cherry Picking” A little bit of Breeders, a little bit of Cars and a lot of can’tmiss hooks – this irresistible single from the Massachusetts act is as much fun as you’re likely to find in a new alt-rock song this decade. 3. Deerhunter “Snakeskin” Ever had a Bowie phase? Sure you have. Bet you didn’t take it as far as Deerhunter, though. Their new tune is a sleek shot of Young Americans style. 4. FKA…

Two y e ars ago, wagner Moura was having lunch with his friend José Padilha, when the director popped an unexpected question: “How about playing Pablo Escobar?” Though a well-known Brazilian actor, Moura, 39, wasn’t an obvious choice to portray the cocaine kingpin in the American-produced series Narcos, which debuted on Netflix on August 28th. For one thing, he’d need to gain 40 pounds, and he didn’t speak Spanish. But Padilha knew the tender and thoughtful Moura could transform himself. He had directed Moura in 2007’s Elite Squad and its sequel, Elite Squad: The Enemy Within, the highest-grossing Brazilian film ever. To play a military police captain, Moura submitted to boot camp with Rio’s elite police. “Many actors gave up and said, ‘Fuck it, I’m an actor. I don’t have…

Let’s face it: Plugging a portable headphone amp/DAC into your phone to turn it into an audiophile-grade source is a pretty hardcore move. But not only can the OPPO HA-2 power even the most demanding headphones (with sound that rivals the company’s acclaimed CD players and HA-1 desktop amp) while doubling as a backup phone battery, it’s slim and sexy-looking, too. And at $299, it’s aff ordable for its category: Portable high-end amp/DAC combos can go for as much as $2,500.…

IN THE PAST FEW YEARS, WHENEVER HE HASN’T been busy selling out arenas with Black Keys drummer Patrick Carney, Dan Auerbach has booked informal jam sessions with a loose group of friends including Menahan Street Band saxophonist Leon Michels. “These guys are my oldest musical buddies besides Pat,” says the singer-guitarist. “We just record shit for fun and sock it away.” This year, Auerbach and Michels combed through those tracks to assemble Yours, Dreamily, the debut of the band they dubbed the Arcs. Auerbach, 36, says he’s looking forward to their first tour this fall: “With these guys, we can try absolutely anything.” The Arcs album sounds like some lost psychedelic LP that you might find buried in a used-records bin. Are you a big cratedigger? That’s really what we…

Show Me a Hero Sundays, 8 p.m., HBO The most David Simon type of story imaginable – a six-hour miniseries about the fight over public housing in Yonkers, New York, in the 1980s. Only Simon could turn such a grim premise into HBO gold. Like The Wire or Treme, Show Me a Hero is a sprawling portrait of a city on the skids, full of racial tension and systematic corruption. Oscar Isaac is superbly Pacino-esque as a real-life politician who wins an upset victory and becomes the youngest mayor in America – but, of course, that’s where his troubles really begin. Paul Haggis directed, though fortunately Show Me a Hero is less like his Crash and more like Simon’s The Wire. The Bruce Springsteen soundtrack sets the tone – Show…

Early in the morning, in a little place called Joanie’s Cafe in Palo Alto, just outside the Stanford campus, Andrew Luck sits down for breakfast. He’s dressed in a blue T-shirt and shorts, with his trademark seacaptain beard. If anyone recognizes him, they don’t say anything. The star quarterback of the Indianapolis Colts doesn’t look like a hotshot athlete at first glance. If anything, he looks like a slightly oversize version of any other Stanford student, which is what this school allowed him to be when he studied here. At an SEC or Big 10 school, an athlete of Luck’s stature would have been worshipped like a god everywhere he went. But at Stanford, he got to be just another teenager for a little bit longer. “The nice thing about…

In August, at the Baltimore Ravens training camp, off ensive lineman John Urschel suffered a concussion – sparking one of the most interesting stories in the ongoing debate over head trauma in the NFL. While every NFLplayer has plenty to lose from head trauma, Urschel is unique: He’s the only player who stands to ruin his sideline career, as an internationally recognized mathematician. This past spring, after helping the Ravens to the playoff s, he published a paper, “A Cascadic Multigrid Algorithm for Computing the Fiedler Vector of Graph Laplacians,” in an academic journal. “It’s very rare for your thesis to be publishable,” says Penn State math professor Ludmil Zikatanov. “The journal would be a very nice place to publish when you’re faculty – let alone a student.” Urschel’s math…

The Arcs Yours, Dreamily, Nonesuch ★★★★ BY DAVID FRICKE “I’m old enough to know the game/But pushing buttons now is all that keeps me sane,” Dan Auerbach sings in “Outta My Mind,” the opening jolt on this strange, seductive album, through a spooky melange of spaghetti-Western guitars, funk drumming and oily reverb. The first line is plain enough: Auerbach, 36, has been a rock star for more than a third of his life, as the singer-guitarist-songwriter of the modern-blues duo the Black Keys. The second explains why Auerbach – a side-project fiend, with his own Nashville studio, who’s produced records for acts like Dr. John and Lana Del Rey – was compelled to form another new band. When the game gets weird, work is salvation. “Outta my mind,” he…

Comedy Mogul KEVIN HART’S ON THE COVER of Rolling Stone not only because he’s funny, but because he’s spent years paying his comedy dues [“Kevin Hart’s Funny Business,” RS 1241]. “All shots to my pride have been taken,” he tells Jonah Weiner. It’s nice when the hard work pays off and the success is deserved. Jayson Read, via the Internet THE SCENE WHERE HART buys all that Cartier bling just because he can? Priceless. It’s rare for an artist to let a reporter see something so totally unguarded. Richard Cohen, via the Internet SAYING YOU DON’T WANT your son to be gay but you’re not homophobic – isn’t that like a white person saying they don’t want their son to marry a black woman but they’re not racist? Sheila Evans,…

CLASSIC The Rolling Stones “Honky Tonk Women” Their performance at Hyde Park in 1969 struck my beat bone. The Charlie Watts fill in the second verse over Mick’s vocals is damn near hip-hop! It inspired a rapped interpolation on our new album. N.W.A “Fuck tha Police” Ice T and King Tee got on base about police brutality – then N.W.A hit it in the upper deck. Isaac Hayes “Hyperbolicsyllabicsesquedalymistic” Public Enemy’s Bomb Squad used to crowd in a room and play mix-andmash records. This song had a snatch that stood out. I ran it into the end zone as “Black Steel in the Hour of Chaos.” NEW Kendrick Lamar “King Kunta” I can dig the fact that Kendrick cares less if you can maintain balance as he chops into the…

This is the summer of the Weeknd. Look around, the signs are everywhere: In July, the 25-year-old Canadian singer performed his absurdly catchy hit “Can’t Feel My Face” for 83,000 screaming Taylor Swift fans after she brought him out as a surprise guest at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. In August – by which time “Can’t Feel My Face” had shot to Number One on the charts – Stevie Wonder sang a few bars of the song at a concert in New York’s Central Park. Earlier this year, Katy Perry said his steamy single “Often” is her favorite song to have sex to. “I don’t know if I’m on top of the world,” says the Weeknd. “But I’m on top of my game, for sure.” It’s past midnight in Brooklyn’s…

Music i ans as diverse as Bob Dylan, Aretha Franklin and Jimmy Cliff had one thing in common: producer Bob Johnston, who died of heart failure on August 14th at 83. The Texan logged time as a songwriter and rockabilly artist before he was asked to produce Dylan’s Highway 61 Revisited in 1965. The two hit it off (“Working with him was like a drunken joyride,” Dylan later wrote), and Johnston wound up helming Blonde on Blonde, John Wesley Harding and Nashville Skyline. “When Dylan wanted to record, he’d always pick up the phone, call me and say, ‘I’ve got some songs,’ ” Johnston wrote. “I’d go, ‘Great, man!’. . .” As a Columbia staff er, Johnston sometimes produced Dylan during the day and Simon and Garfunkel at night; he…

Say goodbye to the most ridiculous play in sports: the extra point from the two-yard line, which kickers converted more than 99 percent of the time. “It is completely boring,” says former placekicker Gary Anderson. “The fans go to the restroom.” This season, the NFLmoved the kick to the 15-yard line, hoping to encourage teams to go for the two-point conversion – and make the game more dramatic. (The rule also allows defensive players to return blocked kicks and turnovers for two-point safeties.) Yet it’s unclear how the change will play out. The new extra-point attempts will be a total of 33 yards; kickers made 92.8 percent from that distance over the past five seasons. So now coaches will have to consider new math: Will dropping the extra-point probability prompt…

Beach House Depression Cherry Sub Pop ★★★½ Over four alluring albums, Beach House have managed the rare trick of evoking bliss and loss in equal strength. Guitarist Alex Scally’s extravagant melodies bloom slowly over grooves that pulse like waves; singer Victoria Legrand’s vocals echo Fleetwood Mac’s lush folk rock, Cocteau Twins’ surreal dreams and Nico’s spooky drama. The Baltimore duo’s fifth album sticks to that signature sound, and go figure: A formula that might seem limiting feels instead like it can contain entire worlds. KEY TRACKS: “Sparks,” “Days of Candy” Depression Cherry opens on a sustained organ chord and crisp cymbal pattern, the image of a longhaired couple after midnight, and Legrand beckoning the listener inside. “There’s a place I want to take you,” she sings, over a subtle…

Meteorologist Eric Holthaus’ story about how the terrifying impacts of climate change are already being felt around the world was RS.com’s highest-traffic piece ever [“The Point of No Return,” RS 1241]. “I’ve thought a lot about why it took off the way it did,” says Holthaus. “The number-one comment, after ‘Holy shit, this is scary,’ was ‘What can we still do?’ There is a strong engagement from people wanting to help change the trajectory, even if the cause feels lost. You don’t want to just resign yourself to the fact that the next few hundred years are going to be really difficult for every species on the planet.” WHAT MORE HAS TO BE written or reported to convince Americans that climate change is real and underway? The climate echo chamber…

‘Louder!” says keith richards, raising his index finger as he peers into a sound booth at New York’s Electric Lady Studios. Soon, “Crosseyed Heart,” a raw Delta-blues stomp, blares from the speakers. The room is filled with the sound of Richards’ fingerpicked acoustic guitar and familiar growl as he sings about juggling two lovers at once (opening line: “I love my sugar, but I love my honey too”). Richards, looking stadium-ready in a snakeskin jacket, is holding a listening session for Crosseyed Heart (due September 18th), his first solo album since 1992’s Main Offender, which was recorded with his band the X-Pensive Winos. Crosseyed Heart is a more intimate album: Richards played the majority of the instruments himself, and showed off his musical personalities – including hard-luck rock & roll…

On-ear headphones are growing up: Cans with thick enclosures, overemphasized bass and conspicuous logos are fading out, making way for a new class of lighter, more svelte, less showy headphones that have a more balanced sound (and are much less fatiguing to wear all day). Not all of the best new models have cords, either: Recent improvements to Bluetooth technology have brought great sound to wireless models too. Lightweight Killers Plantronics Backbeat Sense $180 This wireless set has a clever trick: Take it off , and it instantly pauses your song; put it on again, and the tune resumes. Despite smaller 32mm drivers (other sets on this page use 40mm ones), the sound is immersive, and at less than five ounces, you’ll barely feel them. Luxury Bluetooth Bowers & Wilkins…

Darlene Love Introducing Darlene Love SEPTEMBER 18TH The pop belter’s new album, produced by Steve Van Zandt, features two songs by Bruce Springsteen (“Night Closing In” and “Just Another Lonely Mile”) – plus contributions from Elvis Costello and more. Duran Duran Paper Gods SEPTEMBER 18TH “The schizophrenia’s getting worse,” keyboardist Nick Rhodes says. Old pals Mark Ronson and Nile Rodgers produced the pop survivors’ 14th full-length LP; Janelle Monae, Lindsay Lohan and reclusive ex-Chili Peppers guitarist John Frusciante all guest. “It is quite risqué, isn’t it?” says singer Simon Le Bon. “But it seems so normal to us.” Ought Sun Coming Down SEPTEMBER 18TH Just a year after the Montreal crew’s excellent debut found fresh thrills in classic postpunk sounds, they’re back. The trancelike build of “Beautiful Blue Sky” is…

Ray Donovan Sundays, 9 p.m., Showtime WE’VE HIT THE AFTERMATH of the Golden Age dramas: The Sopranos, The Wire, Mad Men and Breaking Bad are all gone, and the stakes have changed. These days it’s not about supernova legends blasting out of the sky; it’s about hardworking journeymen getting the job done. That’s why Ray Donovan, strange as it seems, is the model for how a cable drama can develop now, building slowly and tweaking the chemistry until it achieves greatness. Liev Schreiber is the L.A.-via-Boston operator, doing freelance dirty work for his shady clients – sometimes quasi- criminal, sometimes not so quasi. He and his wife (Paula Malcolmson) fight in their over-the-top Boston-Irish accents. Although he took her out West to start a new life, his low-life family has…

WHERE DEZ BRYANT WAS raised, they call it the come-up – that Tupac-twisty climb from starveling to stardom, from rags-to-Rolls-Royce royalty. Bryant, whose first five years in the game stack up against any receivers in the Hall of Fame, is a one-of-a-kind wideout with length, strength and speed, a beauty-and-beastmode cocktail of Randy Moss and Marshawn Lynch. A former first-team All-American whose draft stock cratered when he was suspended from playing in his junior year of college, Bryant has been a bargain for the Dallas Cowboys since they traded up to pick him late in the first round in the spring of 2010: two consecutive Pro Bowls, one All-Pro selection, and a season for the ages last year. ¶ This summer, he’s pressing to finally get paid in a manner…

Forget Deflategate – actual crimes and tabloid-worthy blunders were made this past off -season. All in all, 23 players have been arrested or reprimanded this year. “It’s always been guys maybe having a good time and getting high,” says Michael Irvin, a Hall of Fame wide receiver and NFLNetwork analyst who made headlines for drug charges in the Nineties. “But what we’re dealing with lately has been horrific.” Jason Pierre-Paul and C.J. Wilson DISASTER Both the New York Giants defensive defensive end and the Tampa Bay Bucs cornerback blew off fingers with fireworks on July 4th. Pierre-Paul had his right index finger amputated; Wilson had two fingers severed while holding fireworks that exploded instead of rocketing skyward. STATUS Pierre-Paul lost his $60 million longterm contract off er. Wilson announced his…

Since its rise in the Nineties, fantasy football has grown into an $11 billion industry – completely altering how fans watch the game. From the Red Zone channel to the NFLNetwork’s extensive fantasy coverage, fans are obsessively tracking player stats to get an edge in their office-pool leagues. Alongside the ascent of fantasy – a stats-heavy game that rewards big offensive numbers – the NFLhas noticeably changed its rules to become a passing league: The past five seasons have been the most prolific passing years on record. Which begs a question: Is fantasy running the NFLthese days? “I don’t think that you can sit in the competition committee meeting with Jeff Fisher, Bill Belichick or whoever and tell them to change the rules to enhance fantasy football,” says former quarterback…

Carly Rae Jepsen Grows Up, Maybe Carly Rae Jepsen Emotion Schoolboy/Interscope ★★★½ Carly Rae Jepsen is looking for more than a one-song stand. A barrage of tracks has preceded the release of her second U.S. album, suggesting she’s desperate to prove that 2012’s smash “Call Me Maybe” was no accident. And Emotion is a pop master class, with Swedish song doctors alongside alt-rockers gone pro (Vampire Weekend’s Rostam Batmanglij, Blood Orange’s Devonte Hynes). But whether the songs are about lust (“Run Away With Me”) or heartbreak (“Boy Problems”), the default mode is triumph. Almost every track is like a bouncy castle: fun, certainly, but not made for long-term stays. JOE LEVY Good Times in ‘Badlands’ Halsey Badlands Astralwerks ★★★½ Images on this 20-year-old New Yorker’s debut flicker by…
