Mon., Aug. 31 (Music to stream)
Yorel Tifsim. Theresonlynow. yoreltifsim.bandcamp.com
Over a year after its release, Yorel Tifsim’s Theresonlynow only recently came across my radar. And maybe that’s the point. The album is an ode against social media and our superficial mainstream society, with song titles like “Cruelcorruptselfishlife,” “Theevileye,” and “Umayburnout.” Tifsim is not necessarily trying to make a big fuss, he’s just trying to make music.

Tue., Sept. 1 (Film)
Mr. SOUL! and Vinyl Nation. Carnegie Science Center's Rangos at Home. $12. carnegiesciencecenter.org
On Friday, Carnegie Science Center added two new musical film selections to its rentable Rangos at Home offerings: Mr. SOUL! and Vinyl Nation. From 1968 to 1973, the public-television variety show SOUL! was among the first to provide unfiltered, uncompromising celebrations of Black literature, poetry, music, and politics on TV. Mr. SOUL is a documentary featuring participants’ recollections and a bevy of great archival clips capturing a critical moment in culture.

The vinyl record renaissance is chronicled in Vinyl Nation, asking questions like, “Has the return of vinyl made music fandom more inclusive or divided? What does vinyl say about our past, here in the present? How has the second life of vinyl changed how we hear music and how we listen to each other?”

Wed., Sept. 2 (Music to stream)

TOBACCO. “Centaur Skin” and “Babysitter.” tobaxxo.bandcamp.com

For three years, TOBACCO was quiet as a solo act, instead touring with Nine Inch Nails, creating the theme song to HBO series Silicon Valley, and working with Aesop Rock for a collaborative album as Malibu Ken. Then a few months ago, he surprised fans by releasing tracks “Hungry Eyes” and “Can’t Count On Her.” A new project, Hot Wet & Sassy, is set to drop in October, but a preview of the album can be experienced now with singles “Centaur Skin” and “Babysitter.”
