Minneapolis Ice Cream Truck Plays Extreme Metal, Serves No Ice Cream
I scream, you scream, we all scream for … extreme metal! An ice cream truck is making the rounds in northeast Minneapolis but all it’s serving up is heavy metal music. According to City Pages, area residents have noticed a black ice cream truck cruising through the streets while blaring out extreme metal music. Even though it also plays a more traditional ice-cream-truck jingle and appears to have images of various ice cream choices on the side of the truck, it never stops for treat-seeking kids with money in their hands. Turns out it’s the long-conceived brainchild of the driver, Matt Peterson, who purchased a rundown ice cream truck 10 years ago and tricked it out with heavy metal imagery. He calls the truck the Hell General, and there’s quite a backstory that goes along with the high-vo...

What Was Angelina’s Favorite Moment From Her Jersey Shore Bachelorette Bash?
Angelina hit all of her pre-wedding Jersey Shore milestones — first, there was a bridal shower, and during the past few episodes, it was her ratchelorette bachelorette bash. “I feel like this bachelorette party was all I’ve ever wanted,” the future Mrs. Chris Larangeira stated during the last installment. “It was perfect. We were all on vacation together, like loving everything.” And even though the gang is saying “peace out, Nolers!” a lot happened: the ghost tour, the boys unexpectedly showing up and crashing the bash, a powdered sugar fight beignets, a strip club, Pauly and JWOWW almost doing sex and much more. But if the bridezilla bride-to-be had to choose a favorite moment from the Big Easy extravaganza, what would it be? “It was ...

Whethan On New Album: “It’s Getting In a Spaceship and Leaving Earth Off This Electronic Rainbow” [Interview]
Today’s wave of young musicians is arguably more creative and incisive than ever. EDM has seen a long string of prodigal, pioneering producers, which includes the 24-year-old Martin Garrix and the duo Louis The Child, among many others. The latest in this cohort’s legacy is Ethan Snoreck, a Chicago suburb-born artist who produces under the moniker Whethan. Since cannonballing into the scene with 2016’s “Savage” featuring Flux Pavilion and MAX—which still stands as his most played song on Spotify—Snoreck has exploded in popularity, dominating listeners in and around his age group with infectiously happy, future bass-inspired originals. Standouts include “Every Step That I Take” with Portugal. The Man and “High” with Dua Lipa, which was featured on the soundtrack for cult film Fifty Sha...
