"We have some overlapping people on our teams," Phony Ppl singer Elbee Thrie tells NPR, explaining how the collab came to be. "One of them brought the song to her with a disclaimer, 'I know you don't usually do this.' But she gave it an organic listen and was feelin' it. And with the topic being what it was, having a woman on the song who could pen a great verse was what we wanted. And that's exactly what she did." Listen to "Fkn Around" below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=STpRa2JPFA0

Big Fizzle: MoviePass Passes Away

And so it all ends in disappointment, like the umpteenth installment of a Stallone or Schwarzenegger franchise. For MoviePass and its parent company, filing Chapter 7 bankruptcy earlier this week means that what promised to disrupt an industry that has been around for more than a century – the movie business, of course – has itself been disrupted, and had been since the service was shut down in September. The filing means the companies will be sold, and the funds distributed to creditors. Those creditors include a list of more than 12,000 subscribers, and as the math works out, each of them may get about $100 in liquidation – if they get paid at all. The final shuttering comes after at least some subscribers complained that their cards were still being charged, even when the MoviePass service had gone dormant. Turns out the movie ticket subscription business has relatively low barriers to entry. MoviePass launched in 2011, was famed for its $10 monthly subscription service that allowed
