It seems the NFT craze is starting to rear its ugly head. Electronic music producer Lane 8 recently took to Twitter to share his thoughts on the current climate of NFTs, or non-fungible tokens, writing that sales of the digital collectibles are “pandering to the ultra rich while excluding the normal fans who built [him] up in the first place.” Hours after Lane 8 published the tweet, Dillon Francis took a screenshot of it and went on to mint the image as an NFT on the Zora marketplace, dubbing the item “cool story bro.” “[D]on’t worry Lane 8 when you make an NFT we will all remember this,” he wrote in the description, along with a smiley face.

RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE Will Never Play A Drive-In Concert, Says TIM COMMERFORD
RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE‘s Tim Commerford says that his band will “never” play a drive-in concert. The bassist made his comments to TooFab while out on a quick hardware store run in Los Angeles earlier this week. Speaking about how the coronavirus pandemic has affected the concert industry, Tim said (see video below): “Musicians got kicked to the curb, man. Musicians and barbershops and gyms, we’re the last ones to go. So it’s stressful for me, just because I look at RAGE and go, like, ‘Fuck, we rely on an audience.’ You go to RAGE shows to see the audience as much as to see the band, and we need that. We’re one of those bands that need that. “We’ll never be one of these sellouts that’s gonna go play a drive-in show or...

Lola Bunny (photos via Warner Bros. and Entertainment Weekly) Lola Bunny has a new look for the new Space Jam movie. In the long-awaited sequel to the 1996 original, the only female member of the Tune Squad will no longer have a hyper-sexual appearance compared to her male teammates.

The Mars Volta Announce Staggering 18-LP Box Set with Unreleased Material
After an eight-year hiatus, an impressive new archival release from The Mars Volta is on the horizon. La Realidad De Los Sueños is a staggering 18-LP box set that arrives April 23rd and contains the experimental rockers’ entire studio discography alongside unreleased material.

Translating to “the reality of dreams,” La Realidad De Los Sueños takes is name from lyrics in “Concertina...
The Wiggles Cover Tame Impala’s “Elephant”: Watch
Hey there kids, your favorite band The Wiggles are back with a searing takedown of arrogant assholes! The Australian institution has covered Tame Impala, another artist from Down Under, adding a few new lyrics to make the anti-bully anthem “Elephant” more family friendly. The Wiggles performed Tame Impala’s breakout 2012 hit for Triple J’s cover series Like a Version. To entertain any children who happen to come upon it, bandmember Anthony Fields spent the whole song inside an elephant costume, wobbling his trunk to the rhythm of the beat. The band also added an extended riff on “Fruit salad,” which, they said is, “Yummy yummy!” and for which they embarked upon some tummy-rubbing choreography. Even the most drugged-out Tame Impala fans have never imagined an “Elephant” as bizarre as this. ...
