The 15 Best Music Books of 2022

Jeff Tweedy is heading out on a book tour of World Within a Song: Music That Changed My Life and Life That Changed My Music. On select dates, the Wilco frontman will invite guests including Nick Offerman, journalist (and sometime Pitchfork contributor) Amanda Petrusich, guitarist Nathan Salsburg, radio host April Baer, and others. The tour kicks off in Chicago on November 5 ahead of the book’s release on November 7 via Dutton.

World Within a Song: Music That Changed My Life and Life That Changed My Music compiles Tweedy’s reflections on songs by the Replacements, Joni Mitchell, Otis Redding, Billie Eilish, Mavis Staples, the Velvet Underground, and a few dozen others. He says his third book “is the one I probably would have written first if I were more ambitious, and if I had been a little more clear-eyed about what I care most for in this world,” namely “other people’s songs.” Check out a playlist of songs discussed in the book below.

This month, Wilco announced a new, Cate Le Bon–produced album, Cousin, with a single called “Evicted.”

Downtown Boys have announced a run of European tour dates next month, kicking off at the Gambeat Weekend festival in Barcelona, Spain. Before they head out they’ll play a one-off show in Brooklyn, New York, on September 12, debuting several new songs; their first since their work on the 2020 documentary Miss Marx. Check out the full list of dates below. 

Of their new music, the band said in a statement: 

“The past few years have been extremely difficult, and while many artists were still able to write through it all, we were not in a place to work on new music. Finally getting back into it now feels freeing and thrilling, though. We hope some of that pain and joy comes through as we get to share these live.”

Downtown Boys’ last LP was 2017’s Cost of Living. Since its release, its members have pursued other projects: guitarist Joey “La Neve” DeFrancesco put out The Vital Cord in 2019 and the History Solved EP in 2022, and bassist Mary Regalado has been performing in Gauche, who dropped A People’s History of Gauche in 2019. 

DeFrancesco, a long time labor organizer, has also worked extensively with the United Musicians and Allied Workers (UMAW). The musician advocacy organization recently called for SXSW to increase artist payments, prompting a recommendation from the Austin Parks and Rec Board to the City Council.

Madonna has announced the rescheduled dates for her Celebration Tour. The tour will now begin in London in October, and the North American leg will kick off in Brooklyn in December. Find Madonna’s tour dates below.

Madonna announced the Celebration Tour in January, and it had been slated to begin in North America in July. Shortly before the first concert in Vancouver, however, the singer postponed the tour after being hospitalized for “a serious bacterial infection.” A couple of weeks after the postponement, Madonna updated her fans by telling them that she’s “on the road to recovery.”

According to a press release, tickets for previously scheduled Celebration shows will be honored at the new dates. In addition, fans will receive refunds for canceled shows in Tulsa, Nashville, San Francisco, Las Vegas, and Phoenix.

Milo Aukerman, frontman for Southern California pop punks Descendents, is recovering from “a mild heart attack,” as his bandmates revealed in statement on Instagram today (July 28). They assured fans that Aukerman is doing fine, and that he is “expected to make a full recovery from surgery” following the incident, which occurred last night. The band also announced that they have canceled their upcoming European tour dates to allow time for Aukerman to heal. Find Descendents’ full remarks below.

Descendents are currently scheduled to embark on a North American tour in August following their European trek. It is unclear whether or not those dates will be affected. Pitchfork has reached out to Descendents’ representatives for additional information.

Read Pitchfork’s 5-10-15-20 interview “Punk Veteran Milo Aukerman of the Descendents on the Music of His Life.”

We are truly sorry, but we have to cancel the upcoming European shows.

Our singer, Milo, had a mild heart attack last night. He’s doing fine, and is expected to make a full recovery from surgery, but will need a few weeks to recover before we can hit the road again.

Hope to see you soon.

The Norwegian producer’s upcoming set of DJ sets begins at Brooklyn’s Elsewhere in September and includes festival dates at CRSSD in San Diego, Portola in San Francisco, and more. Check out the complete list of his upcoming tour dates below.

Terje released a new song, “Maskindans,” back in 2017. His last release was 2016’s The Big Cover Up, a collaborative EP that he recorded with his backing band the Olsens. Prior to that, Terje released 2014’s It’s Album Time.

The 1975’s Matthew Healy criticized homophobic Malaysian laws and kissed bassist Ross MacDonald for some 20 seconds during the band’s headline set at Good Vibes Festival yesterday, leading organizers to pull the set and authorities to cancel the festival’s remaining two days. Healy told the Kuala Lumpur crowd it was “fucking ridiculous to tell people what they can do with that and that,” gesturing to his crotch. “If you want to invite me here to do a show, you can fuck off. I’ll take your money, you can ban me, but I’ve done this before and it doesn’t feel good, and I’m fucked off.” 

When the set was cut short moments later, he said, “All right, we just got banned from Kuala Lumpur. See you later.” Malaysia’s Ministry of Communications and Digital officially canceled the festival this afternoon (July 22).

Homosexuality is outlawed in Malaysia, with potential prison sentences of up to 20 years. A source close to the band said, “Matty has a long-time record of advocating for the LGBTQ+ community and the band wanted to stand up for their LGBTQ+ fans and the community.”

Event organizer Future Sounds Asia said in a statement, reported by Billboard, that it fears the cancellation “will erode the confidence of music promoters and various stakeholders in the live entertainment industry across the nation and threaten the stability of our burgeoning live arts scene.” The Kid Laroi and the Strokes had been set to headline the second and third days. 

The 1975’s next scheduled date is headlining We the Festival in Jakarta, Indonesia, tomorrow. 

Lil Uzi Vert has announced a U.S. tour this fall, kicking off in Minneapolis in October and wrapping a month later in Philadelphia. The shows behind Pink Tape are their first headline dates since the 2018 Endless Summer Tour. Check out the dates below.

In February of last year, Lil Uzi Vert pleaded no contest to one count of felony assault with a firearm and one count of misdemeanor injury, after ex-girlfriend Brittany Byrd said they had assaulted her and threatened her with a firearm.

Madonna is postponing the start of her Celebration Tour, her longtime manager, Guy Oseary, announced today on Instagram. “On Saturday June 24, Madonna developed a serious bacterial infection which lead [sic] to a several day stay in the ICU,” Oseary wrote. “At this time we will need to pause all commitments, which includes the tour.” Find Oseary’s full statement below.

Madonna’s Celebration Tour was scheduled to begin on Saturday, July 15, in Vancouver. The tour, which stretches into January of next year, had been sent to have additional stops in Canada, the United States, Mexico, Europe, and the United Kingdom.

As Guy Oseary noted in his statement, it is not currently clear when the tour will begin. Pitchfork has reached out to representatives for Madonna for further comment and information.

Since announcing the Celebration Tour in January, Madonna has released songs with Sam Smith (“Vulgar”) and the Weeknd (“Popular”). She has also seen a long-planned biopic scrapped by Universal Pictures.

Guy Oseary:

On Saturday June 24, Madonna developed a serious bacterial infection which lead to a several day stay in the ICU.
Her health is improving, however she is still under medical care. A full recovery is expected.
At this time we will need to pause all commitments, which includes the tour.
We will share more details with you soon as we have them, including a new start date for the tour and for rescheduled shows.

Model/Actriz have announced a 2023 fall tour in support of their debut album, Dogsbody, which came out back in February. Beginning late July in California, the tour will bring the band across North America and Europe before concluding in November over in Portugal. Find their full itinerary below. 

The noise-rock band has also rolled out a remix of the Dogsbody song “Amaranth” by electronic composer Mmph, which you can listen to below. The two acts originally met during their first-ever show in 2016, when both played a basement in Boston together. “This remix really completes a full circle moment for us,” explained Model/Actriz.

Neil Young has announced a tour—his first since 2019. Earlier this week, Young told paid subscribers of Neil Young Archives that the solo acoustic shows will feature songs that he’s never performed live before. Check out the tour dates, featuring special guest Chris Pierce, below.

“I don’t want to come back and do the same songs again,” Young said (according to Rolling Stone). “I’ll feel like I was on some sort of carnival ride. I’d rather be doing these others songs I haven’t done…. I won’t have to compare how I’m doing ‘Heart of Gold’ to [how I played it in] 1970, 1980, 1990, 2000, 2010, 2020.”

Among the songs Young mentioned as part of the new setlist are the Pearl Jam collaboration “Song X” from 1995’s Mirror Ball, “Prime of Life” from 1994’s Sleeps With Angels, and the Trans outtake “If You Got Love.”

Young began performing at one-off appearances earlier this year, including a rally for old-growth trees and at a Willie Nelson tribute show. In 2021 and 2022, he pulled out of Farm Aid due to concerns over the pandemic. “I am not ready for that yet. I don’t think it is safe in the pandemic,” he wrote, adding, “I miss it very much.”

In March, Young wrote a post critical of Ticketmaster and the contemporary touring industry. “It’s over. The old days are gone,” the musician wrote. “I get letters blaming me for $3,000.00 tickets for a benefit I am doing. That money does not go to me or the benefit. Artists have to worry about ripped off fans blaming them for Ticketmaster add-ons and scalpers. Concert tours are no longer fun. Concert tours not what they were.”

Young’s criticism of Ticketmaster followed his recent boycott of Spotify and his apparent subtweet of Beck’s NFL-sponsored (and Grammy-nominated) cover of “Old Man.”
