At The Drive-In's frontman wants his former bandmate to run for President
At The Drive-In's Cedric Bixler-Zavala has shared a message to former bandmate Beto O'Rourke, expressing his desire that the politician runs for President in 2020.
On Tuesday, the US went to the polls to vote in the 2018 midterm elections. While the election resulted in Democrats taking control of the House of Representatives, Republicans ended up just adding to their majority in the Senate.
However, one of the most publicised political battles took place between Texas' Republican Senator Ted Cruz, and Democratic hopeful Beto O'Rourke. While O'Rourke was narrowly defeated in the end, one of his former bandmates is hoping that the politician might take a run at the top job for 2020.
Back in September, we spoke about how Beto O'Rourke had been in a band with At The Drive-In's Cedric Bixler-Zavala back in the early '90s. Named Foss, the group didn't exactly go too far, releasing a handful of independent records and touring North America before breaking up.
Now, Zavala has taken to Twitter to endorse O'Rourke for a 2020 Presidential run.
“I don't care if [you] lost,” Zavala wrote. “You made them tremble with the simple prospect of real change. You are one of us. I have nothing but respect and admiration for you. I'm in tears. I can only hope you run for president.”
I don't care if u lost,You made them tremble with the simple prospect of real change. You are one of us. I have nothing but respect and admiration for you. I'm in tears. I can only hope you run for president. @BetoORourke

Keep filming. Keep challenging. Keep fighting. Keep accountability lit under their feet. Keep showing them your bullet scars. Keep showing them the cages. Keep reminding them they work for us. Keep reminding them that we are all part of the human condition.
- LaVar Te El Culo (@cedricbixler_) November 7, 2018
Nothing but mad respect to Beto's family for going out there with him. Abrazos.
- LaVar Te El Culo (@cedricbixler_) November 7, 2018
“Keep filming. Keep challenging. Keep fighting,” he urged. “Keep accountability lit under their feet. Keep showing them your bullet scars. Keep showing them the cages. Keep reminding them they work for us. Keep reminding them that we are all part of the human condition.”
“Nothing but mad respect to Beto's family for going out there with him.”
While Beto O'Rourke hasn't responded to Cedric Bixler-Zavala's calls for a Presidential campaign, you might recall how he made headlines back in September when he was filmed playing air-drumming to The Who's 'Baba O'Reilly' in a fast food drive-through.
“This may be the best song ever written,” he explains, before turning up the stereo to full volume to kick off a solid air-drumming routine.
“That's all I want to do, is play air drums for The Who,” he remarked. “Keith Moon! Tell me there's a better drummer!”
Here's hoping Beto O'Rourke will help make the White House a much more rockin' place.

Smashing Pumpkins review – still miles ahead of their rivals
Wembley Arena, London Three hours of Billy Corgan's alt-rockers is certainly a lot, but the sheer inventiveness and breadth of their back catalogue makes this 30th anniversary tour a joy
There comes a point in Smashing Pumpkins' 30th anniversary show when any rational person might think enough really is enough. That point is when the band tick over into their third hour on stage by embarking on a faithful rendition of Stairway to Heaven while what appears to be a woodland throne decorated with fairy lights makes its way from one side of the audience to the other. What next? A version of Moby Dick with an actual whale brought out from backstage?

Death Cab for Cutie: Thank You for Today review – comforting alt-rock melancholia
(Atlantic)
It's almost exactly 20 years since Death Cab for Cutie released their first album, Something About Airplanes, on the tiny Barsuk label. The intervening years saw them sign to a major label, get nominated for Grammys and become poster boys for canvas-haversack-toting mopey emo kids everywhere. But nine albums in, and Ben Gibbard and co are no longer kids themselves, and their nostalgia has a decidedly autumnal feel.
Gibbard can recall being 22 and “Trying so hard to play it cool” (60 & Punk), and reflects that “Sometimes I'm overcome by every choice I couldn't outrun” (Summer Years). The dilemmas that are faced are adult ones: “I don't need you to be honest / Or to be faithful to the end / I just need you to be always a friend,” Gibbard sings on When We Drive.

Long flight lurgy
I haven't disappeared into the outback with my Anna Magdalena costume, promise. Got home last Wednesday morning from Hong Kong, suitcases intact this time. Trotted off to Oval to return 18th-century dress on Thursday - encountering, en route, someone so like the actor character in Odette that I thought maybe he was real after all (this is a frequent occurrence with my books: I invent characters, then find I meet them later). And then: struck down with the Long Flight Lurgy. I don't know if there is any truth in the idea that the recirculating cabin air supply increases your likelihood of picking up germs that other passengers are breathing out, or if it's the 15-degree drop in temperature, but one way or another I'm down and out today and the wild sunshine of northern Australia feels like a very, very long way off. Back soon. Holing myself up in the study with an opera DVD to review, lemsip and nose drops.

Ella Mai becomes first UK artist to top US R&B chart since 1992
The one-time X Factor hopeful's song Boo'd Up comes after Lisa Stansfield's All Woman, 26 years ago
Ella Mai has become the first British artist to hit No 1 on the US R&B chart in 26 years. The 23-year-old's single Boo'd Up, initially released in 2017, knocked Drake's Don't Matter to Me off the top spot.
She tweeted: “1992, before I was born. First in my lifetime. INSANE.” British artists including Charli XCX, Kyla and Paul McCartney have featured on US R&B No 1 singles, but none were billed as lead artist. Boo'd Up is also at No 5 on the general Billboard Hot 100 singles countdown.
