A few days ago I was sitting there with Instagram open on my phone, like you do when you’re procrastinating and hating yourself for it, and the algorithm served me up something it knew I’d be interested in.

Hanning, who led Germany’s Bundesnachrichtendienst (BND) from 1998 to 2005, was arrested on Tuesday and charged with espionage, the disclosure of state secrets, and treason. Prosecutors have alleged that Hanning bought state secrets from his former BND aide – identified as ‘Manfred D’, who remained in the agency…

Leading up to the Grammy nominations on Nov. 16, Rolling Stone is breaking down 11 different categories. For each, we’re predicting the nominees, as well as who will (and who should) win on Grammy night.  There are some years where grizzled rock acts from days of yore release so few new albums that newer groups (relatively speaking) like Greta Van Fleet, Turnstile, Cage the Elephant, or Paramore get a chance to take home the award. That’s unlikely to be the case this year since there are new releases by the Rolling Stones and Paul McCartney, both produced by Andrew Watt,…

Godrich was attempting to move toward retirement, and Harrison was burnt out.

Their collaboration came about fortuitously. Harrison had moved back…
