Rivers Cuomo Covers Green Day in Latest Zoom Session
Last week, Rivers Cuomo covered Nirvana’s “Heart-Shaped Box” in what he’s calling his Islands in the Zoom sessions. This week, he went back to the ’90s for another cover. Cuomo and his bandmates were supposed to hit the road this summer with Green Day and Fall Out Boy for the Hella Mega Tour, but, like almost everything else, it was pushed to 2o21. Tipping his cap to (one of) his tourmates, Cuomo covered Green Day’s “Good Riddance (Time of Your Life).” He was joined by his wife on piano. “Hey guys, so sorry about the postponement of HELLA MEGA. Here’s an acoustic cover of Green Day’s Time of your Life. (My wife joined me!) Next summer we shall rock,” Cuomo said in a tweet. Hey guys, so sorry about the postponement of HELLA MEGA. Here’s an acoustic cover of Green Day’s...
Lana Del Rey Announces New Album, Rejects Critics Who Say She “Glamorizes Abuse”
Lana Del Rey has been teasing a spoken word record for the last few months, but apparently she has even more up her sleeve. In an Instagram post early Thursday, she announced she will release a new album on September 5th, the follow-up to last year’s stellar Norman Fucking Rockwell!. Del Rey also appeared to shade major pop stars of color like Beyoncé and Cardi B in a lengthy discussion about the glamorization of abuse and feminism’s place in pop music. Del Rey’s social media post was predominantly focused on rejecting the criticisms that her music glamorizes abuse. “I’m fed up with female writers and alt singers saying that I glamorize abuse when in reality I’m just a glamorous person singing about the realities of what we are all now seeing are very prevalent abusive relationships all ov...
Christopher Nolan, Edgar Wright, Rian Johnson, and Karyn Kusama Surprise NYU Graduates Over Zoom
Who spoke at your graduation? Probably not Christopher Nolan, Edgar Wright, Rian Johnson, or Karyn Kusama. Well, that was a reality for this year’s graduating class of Cinema Studies majors at New York University. As IndieWire reports, the acclaimed auteurs all surprised the budding filmmakers with kudos as they head out into … eh, reality. Ever the realistic, Wright cut right to the chase of said reality: “I know this has been a long, hard journey to get here and I know you’d all love to celebrate with each other, and I’m sorry you cant do that, but this is still a milestone in your lives and you should all be very, very proud of yourselves for what you’ve done.” The Baby Driver filmmaker contended, “If it makes you feel any better, I never got to graduate either because I never went to f...
Guns N’ Roses Launch “Not in This Lifetime Selects” Concert Streaming Series: Watch
Having just postponed their summer North American tour due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Guns N’ Roses are offering an alternative “live experience” for fans. The band has launched a new streaming series, dubbed “Not in This Lifetime Selects”, showing pro-shot footage from their mega-successful tour. The “Not in This Lifetime Tour” kicked off in 2016, with Slash and Duff McKagan rejoining Axl Rose in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame band. Over a four-year period, the extensive trek has earned $563 million, making it one of the highest-grossing tours of all time. The streaming series starts Thursday (May 21st) with select highlights from the band’s October 29th, 2019 show at the Vivint Smart Home Arena in Salt Lake City, Utah. That gig saw GN’R play 25 songs, including seven from their iconic d...
Christopher Nolan Unleashes New Tenet Trailer: Watch
Christopher Nolan and Warner Bros. are insistent on getting Tenet into theaters — COVID be damned. To keep the hype machine going, they’ve unleashed a new trailer — which debuted live on Fortnite — that has us salivating for the time-warping thriller. Like the first preview that dropped in December, this latest trailer offers more eye candy and even more proof that this is, indeed, the “most ambitious film” Nolan has ever made. We’re still fuzzy on what the hell exactly is going on, but we know we want more. Once again, the film centers around a spy played by John David Washington, who’s been tasked with preventing World War III. Only it’s not nuclear holocaust he’s trying to stop — it’s someone with the ability to manipulate time in a very unique, mind-bending way. Editors’ Pic...
Lane 8 Is Hosting a Special Livestream This Saturday to Celebrate New Single “Keep On”
In celebration of his new single “Keep On,” deep house maven Lane 8 is taking to Twitch to host a special livestream event commemorating the release. Lane 8 fans can attest that the Colorado-based producer, who is streaming the “From My Basement to Yours” set from his Denver home, never fails to deliver a memorable performance. The Anjunabeats powerhouse remains one of the most consistent producers in the house game, a sentiment reinforced by his scintillating January 2020 Brightest Lights LP. Lane 8 is also fresh off the latest iteration of his patented mixtapes, the hypnotic Groundhog Day mix, which he released just over one month ago on April 14th, 2020. “Keep On” officially drops tomorrow morning, May 22nd, via Anjunadee...
Drum&BassArena to Release Groundbreaking Documentary “Drum & Bass: The Movement”
Established in Sheffield circa 1996, Drum&BassArena has cemented itself as the foremost hub for all things DnB. Its roots as a breakbeat-oriented website have grown to spread into a full-fledged brand encompassing official compilations, tours, merchandise, and more. With such a rich history and passion for the genre, it was only natural for Drum&BassArena to compile that history into one massive exposé. That’s exactly what it has done, and a new documentary called Drum & Bass: The Movement is now on the way. Five years in the making, The Movement is a feature-length documentary that explores the entire breadth of the genre from its roots right up to the present. Directed by Bailey Hyatt, produced by Craig Haynes, and written by Dave Jen...
