Alok Gives The Rolling Stones’ “Living In A Ghost Town” a Vibrant Re-Work
Brazil’s certified superstar Alok just landed a collaboration that would make any artist blush. He was awarded the honor of remixing the legendary band The Rolling Stones‘ single “Living In A Ghost Town,” noted as their first release in eight years. With the task at hand, Alok stepped up to the plate and delivered a vibrant, electronic rendition of the bluesy rock ballad. While all of us are currently feeling like we’re “Living In A Ghost Town” during this quarantine, this remix couldn’t have come at a more opportune moment. Alok took Mick Jagger‘s iconic vocals and overlays them on top of a pumping, upbeat production. He stays true to the stylings of the original by keeping the soulful guitar chords and that roarin...

While the world waits in anticipation for Lady Gaga‘s sixth studio album Chromatica, the queen of pop has given fans a new piece of music to satiate “The Little Monsters” until the official release on May 29th. Today, Gaga pays homage to her dance roots with a remix of Chromatica cut “Stupid Love” from Vitaclub, the new collaborative project from BloodPop® and BURNS. The new rework makes us wish we were in a sweaty warehouse party dancing the night away. It features a heart-racing house beat as Gaga’s signature vocals guide the way, proclaiming, “All I ever wanted was love.” It is a certified party starter, filled with pumping synths, sharp hi-hats, and reverberating vocal chops. The journey to Chromatica&...
Foo Fighters Stream 2008 Wembley Stadium Concert
For the latest concert to be streamed from their archive, Foo Fighters have shared another classic stadium show from London. Taking place over two nights in 2008 at London’s Wembley Stadium on their Echoes, Silence. Patience & Grace, Dave Grohl and company tore through their usual set of standards, but with a twist. Like their 2006 London show that they shared a few weeks ago, this one featured a pair of guests as well in Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page and bassist John Paul Jones. The duo joined them for covers of Zeppelin’s “Rock and Roll” and “Ramble On.” As usual, the band is airing the performance as a fundraiser. This week, it’s for indie concert venues. “If you are able, consider supporting the Music Venue Trust during this time and keep the indie venues going,” a caption unde...
Black Delivery Driver Blocked From Doing Job By White HOA President In Oklahoma
Source: Facebook / facebook An Oklahoma Black man who was doing his job was detained for more than half an hour by white men who demanded to know why he was in their neighborhood. On Wednesday (May 13), delivery driver Travis Miller was doing his job when he made a delivery to a gated community in Ashford Hills, an affluent section of Oklahoma City. But upon completion, he was confronted by two white men, who blocked him in while demanding he tells them why he had a code to the subdivision. The incident, which was captured on Miller’s Facebook Live, shows that the standoff occurred while Miller was in the middle of a delivery in his company vehicle when he was approached by a white man who identified himself as David Stewart, the president of the homeowner’s association. “I don’t care what...
Boosie Badazz & Webbie Appear To Have Slight Beef
Source: Thaddaeus McAdams / Getty Boosie Badazz courts attention with nearly every move he makes on social media for reasons that are less than savory according to some. However, the Louisiana rapper caught a stray after YFN Lucci gave him props on Instagram with Boosie’s past collaborator Webbie letting off some choice words in the comments. Lucci posted on Instagram an image of him and Boosie together, writing in the caption, “Dem n*ggas did that for the boss” in what appeared to be a salute to the OG. Webbie comments, which appear to have been deleted, point to some potential tension that most didn’t expect to witness. “N*GGAZ DID THAT AND DOING ALL THIS SH*T FOR THE BOSS NOW BUT WHERE THE F*CK ALL U N*GGAZ WAS, WHEN I SACRIFICED ALL MY SH*T N TOOK CARE OF FAMILIES WHEN YOU WAS IN JAIL ...
Desiigner Explains Why He Left Kanye West’s G.O.O.D Music Record Label
Source: Theo Wargo / Getty Once an internet sensation with the release of “Panda,” Desiinger went from potential Hip-Hop star when he signed with Kanye West’s G.O.O.D Music label to arguably another rap one-hit wonder (no shots). Since going from hot to cold in a span of months back in 2016, Desiigner’s been vocal about wanting off of Kanye’s record label and finally got his wish last year. Now in his first interview in a minute, Desiigner revealed to the Everyday Struggle team why he wanted to leave the label that Yeezus built and and actually pointed to Kanye’s pivot to Christian music as a reason he felt he needed to move on. “Being with G.O.O.D Music, I was happy and sh*t, but then it was like kinda weird with certain sh*t,” Desiigner explained. After revealing that the comparisons to ...
Tame Impala Zone Out on 18-Minute-Long Remix of “One More Year”: Stream
Earlier this month, London-based online radio station NTS Radio hosted a star-studded 24-hour livestream that featured Tame Impala, among dozens of others. It seems like Kevin Parker had a good time on the show then because he’s partnering with NTS Radio once more, this time to release a dazzling 18-minute-long (!) remix of “One More Year”. The Slow Rush opener clocks in just over five minutes on the band’s new album. But here, in Parker’s hands, it gets a self-described “balearic house reimagining.” A deep bass drum beat thuds in the background while Parker’s vocal track fades in and out of focus, echoing like it’s being broadcast in a massive warehouse. The synths twist slowly by comparison, creating an overall effect that feels like you’re running in a sprint but your vision is blurry. ...
