RIP Brian Wilson, Sly Stone, and Billy Jones

The second episode of our new podcast BV Weekly is a sad one. We mourn the losses of innovative music icons Brian Wilson and Sly Stone, as well as one of our close friends: veteran NYC concert promoter and scene fixture Billy Jones. We also look at Neil Young’s new protest album, The Cure’s new remix album, the new Drain single, and more, and recap the recent Turnstile show in NYC (with surprise guest Hayley Williams) and Olivia Rodrigo’s headlining Governors Ball set (with surprise guest David Byrne).
