After playing a handful of hits including “Master of Puppets”, the band launched in a full performance of 1991’s Metallica (aka “The Black Album”) in reverse order, starting with “The Struggle Within”. After playing the full album, they finished the lengthy show with a few more hits. The set and the band’s respective European tour celebrated the 20th anniversary of the legenda...

Kygo Shares Tracklist for Forthcoming “Golden Hour” Album
Fresh off the release of his Golden Hour merchandise line, Kygo continues to promote his forthcoming album—and sometimes in the most tormenting of ways. The tropical house kingpin took to Twitter this morning to share the record’s official tracklist. Spanning an expansive 18 songs, the announcement is as mouthwatering as it is tantalizing, considering he hid the featured artists. The Golden Hour capsule collection was a nice initiative for Kygo fans, but even the coziest of hoodies won’t console them after being teased like this. In a move that should surprise no one, EDM Twitter is aflame with conjecture behind who exactly is featured on the album. Many fans are speculating that one of the collaborations is with Selena Gomez, who teamed up with Kygo on the internatio...
Seoul Shuts Down Nightclubs After Briefly Reopening
After briefly reopening clubs and bars due to a dramatic drop in South Korean COVID-19 cases, the Seoul nightlife industry is once again being shut down. In the Itaewon district of the capital city, a string of new infections occurred, with at least 17 being linked to a single club-goer. Officials expect the number to rise in the near future as more than 1,500 people were in the same venues as the individual. In a quote obtained by Yonhap News Agency, the mayor of Seoul, Park Won-soon, spoke on the recent infections and why the venues must shut down. “Such facilities have to suspend business immediately and will face strict punishment if they breach (the order),” he said. “Carelessness can lead to an explosion in infections – we clearly realized this throu...

Rich The Kid Sued For $234K In Unpaid Jewelry
Source: Johnny Nunez / Getty Have today’s artists learned nothing from OG IOU bandit, Sean Kingston? Apparently Rich The Kid must not be familiar with Sean’s struggle history as he’s found himself in a situation that Kingston’s all too familiar with. According to TMZ the “Plug Walk” rapper is being sued by Peter Marco of Extraordinary Jewels of Beverly Hills for non-payment on $234,800 worth of bling-bling. In the documents obtained by TMZ, Marco says that he’s been supplying The Kid with diamond encrusted chains, crosses and a few Patek Phillippe watches (Rolex played out?) since 2017. Though Rich was making payments at the beginning of their business relationship, the young rapper has since fell off with keeping up with his hefty tab. In docs, Marco says Rich wired over several paym...

And Now David Lynch With the Weather
With lockdowns still in place across the country, most of us can’t spend more than a few hours outside of our homes. However, that hasn’t stopped David Lynch from bringing the outdoors inside with the return of his delightfully bizarre weather report video series. Longtime fans will recall that the renowned filmmaker used to sporadically post weather report videos to his website in the mid-2000s. Most were all under a minute in length and saw Lynch give very brief, but oftentimes poetic rundowns of the weather in Los Angeles. One memorable broadcast featured the phrase “muted golden sunshine”, while another boasted assistance from longtime friend and colleague Laura Dern. After a long absence, the Blue Velvet and Twin Peaks auteur has again suited up as a makeshift meteorology expert ...
