The grand opening on July 14 will include music by local vocalist Katia Cardenas, she announced on Twitter. The venue, now operated by the Dakota Jazz Club, has been holding occasional "pop-up" events all year.

Apple Music officially launched across iOS devices on Tuesday. Initial reviews of the on-demand streaming service were mixed, but the "worldwide radio station" Beats 1 Music will likely continue to generate buzz throughout the week as shows by celebrities including St. Vincent, Dr. Dre, Elton John, and Drake debut. The station launched with DJ Zane Lowe playing the song "City" by young Manchester band Spring King. (NME) Later in the station's first hour, Lowe debuted a new track by Pharrell.

Jon Bon Jovi is a staunch Democrat—in fact, he and his wife recently hosted a fundraiser for Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton—but he still gave New Jersey governor Chris Christie, a Republican, permission to use his music at the launch of Christie's Presidential candidacy. "My friendships are apolitical," said Bon Jovi. Another friend of Christie's is Bruce Springsteen, though the Boss passed on an invitation to play at Christie's 2009 inauguration and a Springsteen cover band had to step in. (Billboard)

Katy Perry is trying to buy a Hollywood convent, presumably to use as a residence, but the five elderly nuns who currently live there are trying to block the sale—in part because they're turned off by the pop star's music. "I wasn't happy with any of it," said Sister Rita Callanan, 77, after watching some of Perry's videos. The nuns want to sell the convent to a restaurateur, but Los Angeles Archbishop Jose Gomez would prefer to take Perry's offer of $14.5 million in cash. A legal battle between the nuns and the Archbishop is currently ongoing. (Los Angeles Times)
