Watch Dirt Monkey Perform for a Packed Crowd at Orlando Nightclub Amid Pandemic
As many cities across the world slowly roll out plans to rebuild and kickstart their respective economies, the nightlife industry has not been a priority. Since nightclubs and festivals inherently lock horns with pandemic-related safety ordinances due to the difficulties of enforcing social distancing measures in congested venues, the reopening of nightlife has taken a backseat to other industries. Enter dubstep artist Dirt Monkey, who appeared at Orlando’s GILT Nightclub yesterday, June 8th, 2020 to throw down a heavy-hitting bass music set before a packed crowd. While we’re still in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, it’s important to note that while concerts of this nature are frowned upon by some, they are certainly not illegal. The stat...

Russell Simmons Accuser Criticizes ‘Breakfast Club’ for Giving Him a Platform
Following the debut of HBO Max’s sexual assault documentary On the Record — which features accounts from multiple women accusing Russell Simmons of rape — the hip-hop mogul was invited onto The Breakfast Club, where he once again denied the allegations against him. “Back then, I thought it was a game…. There were no Black actresses that I didn’t date and they’re my friends today,” Simmons said on the long-running radio show. “They don’t have the experience of me being a monster the movie makes me out to be.” He later added, “I can never say that someone doesn’t feel victimized. I can tell you that I don’t feel that I victimized them.” Not long after the interview was posted online, Sil Lai Abrams — one of Russell’s accusers featured in ...

Lars Ulrich is a man of many talents: drummer, former tennis ace, painter, metal legend. On Wednesday (June 10), the Metallica co-founder put it all aside for a few minutes to pay tribute to another type of hero when he Zoomed in to Jimmy Kimmel Live. The double-kick wizard was the latest celebrity to play a round of #HealthCareHero, this time surprising Tracey Bednar, a pediatric ICU nurse and Metallica superfan from Long Island.

The Flaming Lips Perform Bubble-Wrapped Version of ‘Race For The Prize’ on ‘Colbert’: Watch
If you’ve lived with The Flaming Lips, you’ll know they live in a bubble. A psychedelic bubble, never quite touching the ground. On Wednesday night (June 10), Wayne Coyne and Co. were up to their magical tricks when they Zoomed in to Stephen Colbert’s Late Show for a performance of “Race For The Prize,” originally a single lifted from their 1999 album The Soft Bulletin.

Classy move, and very Flaming Lips. Bubble-wrapped concerts probably aren’t the future. But on the Flaming Lips’ planet, that’s how socially distant gigs are done. The veteran psychedelic-rock outfit recently contributed to the debut Deap ...
