THE WEEKEND STARTS HERE: 
...with THE GO-GOs! They made history as the first all-female band that both wrote their own songs and played their own instruments to top the Billboard album charts. Kind of a hard band to place seasonally. Their debut, Beauty and the Beat, which yielded hits like "Our Lips Are Sealed" and "We Got the Beat," as well as great album cuts like "This Town," "Lust to Love," "Tonite" and "How Much More," came out in late Summer 1981, iirc, and "Lips" was climbing the charts that Fall, so I mentally place the band in this time of year. And it's still warm enough that the title track to the too-quick sophomore album, "Vacation," -- or their cover of the Capitols' "Cool Jerk" -- doesn't sound too out of place. "Get Up and Go" was also a single from that LP, but it didn't make the Top 40. The band would chart twice more -- in 1984, with "Head Over Heels" and "Turn to You" -- before splitting and the near-inevitable reunion tours. MADNESS returns with three new songs. THE ROLLING STONES host STEVIE WONDER and LADY GAGA on "Sweet Sounds of Heaven." PETER GABRIEL shares "This Is Home," produced by Skrillex. MARNIE STERN shares "Believing is Seeing." GRAM PARSONS: Enough About His Death. It's Time to Celebrate His Music. ROGER WATERS is accused of repeated antisemitism in new documentary. TALKING HEADS talk to the Pitchfork Review. ALSO: The Oral History of ‘Stop Making Sense.' PAUL RODGERS had major health episodes which left him nearly unable to sing. MICHAEL GAMBON, the Irish-born actor who drew acclaim from both audiences and peers for his stage and screen work, and who won even wider renown as Albus Dumbledore, the firm but kindly headmaster of the Hogwarts wizarding school, in the “Harry Potter” films, died on Wednesday night. He was 82. He's mourned by the Hogwarts crew. Here he is getting an award. MARTIN SCORSESE, on Leonardo DiCaprio. THE WRITERS' DEAL: A blueprint for Hollywood's future? TAYLOR SWIFT & TRAVIS KELCE's first PDA photo. JAMES CAMERON nearly died filming The Abyss. LOST IN TRANSLATION: The best parts of the movie are left indecipherable. A FULL FRONTAL dating show? DOGGO playing the piano when the humans leave. A PENGUIN and a hurdle. 3 MILLION FLAMINGOS in Kenya.
