Widowspeak – “Breadwinner”

Last we heard from Widowspeak, they were covering Neil Young in the wake of their 2017 album Expect The Best. Today the earthy yet celestial Brooklyn band is back with "Breadwinner," their first new song in three years. On Twitter, they explain that "it is a song about work. and there is a video, too, which we made at home." "Baby, you gotta quit that job 'cause your boss is a jerk," Molly Hamilton sings. "Go on and take the time off, and I’ll do the work." That's how it starts. It ends with this lament about capitalism that, like many lyrics, just hits different in pandemic times: "Is this how you measure time? Vacations you can’t take/ Is this how you count the hours? The ones when you’re awake/ O, met a man who never worked/ O, you and I will always work." It's as spare and breathy and beautiful as anything they've released, and it's matched with homemade footage that, of course, includes rising dough. Watch below. https://youtu.be/-iD-ANiPhzA "Breadwinner" is out now on Captured

How HBO Max is different from HBO Go and HBO Now

HBO Max is entering the streaming wars. So how do you get it, exactly, and what's the difference between this and HBO's other services? HBO Max, which officially launched in the U.S. on Wednesday, is the new WarnerMedia streaming service, and it includes content from the company's library of movies and shows of which HBO programming is just a part. There's everything from The Big Bang Theory and Friends to films that aren't on the regular version of HBO, as well as original content that's exclusive to Max, including new Sesame Street and Looney Tunes shows (and, starting next year, the infamous Snyder cut of Justice League). There are confusingly now three separate services called HBO Go, HBO Now, and HBO Max. As HBO clarifies, HBO Go is the streaming service that comes with a subscription to HBO through a TV package. HBO Now, on the other hand, is an HBO streaming service that doesn't require a cable subscription. Then there's HBO Max, which includes everything you'd normally get with an HBO subscription, plus…
