Liz Phair Cancels Tour With Alanis Morissette & Garbage, Cat Power Will Fill In

Last year, Alanis Morissette had a big tour with Liz Phair and Garbage lined up to celebrate the 25th anniversary of her iconic album Jagged Little Pill. The pandemic messed those plans up, obviously, but last month, Morissette announced that the tour had been rescheduled for this August. Yesterday, though, Liz Phair announced that she was pulling out of the tour, with Cat Power taking her place on the bill.

Michelle Obama Spotify podcast spreads to other platforms

‘The Michelle Obama Podcast’ is perhaps the most high-profile show that’s exclusive to Spotify. Well, it was until today.
