How to use Google’s free transcription tools
If you’re in an important videoconferencing session and you are getting an infodump that you know you won’t remember, it can be very useful to have a transcription of that session. Video and audio recordings are all well and good, but a text version of your meeting can be a lot easier to search if you’re looking for that one specific bit of data inside of an hour’s worth of conversation.

How Evanescence’s Amy Lee Became A Voice For The Unheard
By Erica Russell When Evanescence first broke out in 2003, no one really knew what to make of them. Despite rising on the Billboard Hot 100 and Top 40 charts and scoring five Grammy nominations (including two wins), Evanescence were imperfect outsiders who crashed into the mainstream when popular music just so happened to be at its most polished. The sound of their debut album, Fallen — a distinct...
Wonho’s Tearful Return, Orville Peck And Shania Twain’s Legendary Collab, And More Songs We Love
“Vibe” is a catch-all we tend to use when describing sounds, sights, and aesthetics that just feel good, but calling Nilo Blues’s new video for “Nicotiana” anything else would not be fair. The Vietnamese-Chinese hip-hop artist hails from Canada, and his smooth, genre-blending stylings make for a hazy, dreamy listening experience. It’s fitting then that his new single, from his self-titled debut EP...

MÖTLEY CRÜE’s NIKKI SIXX Says He Is The Most Underrated Bass Player Ever
Nikki Sixx says that he doesn’t get the credit that he deserves as a bass player. The MÖTLEY CRÜE rocker addressed his standing on the list of low-end masters who seem to fall through the cracks of too many bass conversations while answering questions on Twitter.

Bully Conquer ‘Paranoia,’ Challenge Societal Norms on SUGAREGG
Alicia Bognanno used to experience a persistent anxiety about her work: needing to be at the center of the entire music creation process. The Nashville indie-rocker’s Bipolar 2 disorder enlarged those fears tenfold. “With [Bully’s 2017 LP, Losing], I kind of had it stuck in my head that I was more concerned about how the record was going to be received and a little bit more concerned about wh...
Nickelback Follow Korn By Covering Charlie Daniels’ ‘Devil Went Down to Georgia’
The passing of country icon Charlie Daniels on July 6 has now inspired aural tributes from a pair of seemingly unlikely sources: ’90s nü-metal progenitors Korn and Canadian hitmakers Nickelback. Both lineups took on the classic 1979 hit “The Devil Went Down to Georgia” in their own signature styles. Korn, who previously covered artists ranging from Cameo (“Word Up”) to Cheech & Chong (“Earache...
