Having attained a somehow higher level of mega-celebrity with her record-breaking Eras Tour and a closely followed romance with Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs (who are headed back to the Super Bowl as the defending NFL champs), the singer now faces the perplexing wrath of MAGA conspiracy theorists who have decided the league and the relationship are rigged to help Joe Biden’s chances in the 2024 presidential election. The premise is as disconnected from reality as it sounds, but…

LCD Soundsystem’s James Murphy was in a coffee shop when he heard a song from Mermaid Chunky’s deeply bizarre ‘VEST’ EP, prompting him to sign the Gloucestershire avant-pop duo to his label DFA.
