Lamar Odom To Step Into The Boxing Ring This Summer
Source: Paras Griffin / Getty Lamar Odom is looking to make a comeback but not in the NBA, just in relevancy in general. According to TMZ the former NBA champ turned Kardashian Kursed crackhead has just inked a deal with Celebrity Boxing and will make his in-ring boxing debut at the Showboat Casino this June 12th in Atlantic City. Whyyyyy?? Does he need the money? Does he need the attention? Does he need to redeem the culture after Nate Robinson took the massive “L” to Jake Paul? We have no clue. While the fight is set to go down this coming summer, for now Lamar doesn’t have an opponent to prepare for, but CB organizer, Damon Feldman says he’s working on a “big-name celeb” to get in the ring with the NBA Champion. But he’s not the only recovering addict to get down with Celebrity Boxing a...
Sen. Tim Scott Puts On Tap Shoes, Opposes Donald Trump Impeachment
Source: SAUL LOEB / Getty As the debate rages on in the U.S. House of Representatives in connection to a possible second impeachment of Donald Trump, some are pushing back. Sen. Tim Scott, an avowed supporter of Trump and the lone Black GOP senator, stands in opposition with the Democratic Party and those in his party who wish to see the former business mogul removed and barred from running for elected office in the future. In a pair of tweets, the South Carolina senator showed his unyielding fealty to President Trump, who promises he’ll finally yield to the will of the voters and will peacefully transfer power over to President-elect Joe Biden. However, Scott has echoed a sentiment that is spreading among his GOP and conservative colleagues that seeking a second impeachment will further f...

Listen to Eptic’s Ferocious New Monstercat Dubstep Track, “Stop Pretending”
Let’s be honest—dubstep and riddim can get stale at times. With so many artists using the same presets and drums, it would be naive to say that dubstep isn’t a bit saturated in 2021. It’s producers like Eptic, however, who are able to push the envelope of the genre whenever they release new music. His latest release, “Stop Pretending,” dropping soon by way of Monstercat, is a ferocious track brimming with the screeching dubstep flair of a classic Eptic banger. Long been championed as one of bass music’s most technically gifted sound designers and mixers, he brought his A-game for his first release of 2021. Music producers and fans alike should take note of the nuanced sound design here, like how he syncopates his bass patches and how he meticulously...

Governors Ball Sets 2021 Festival Dates
While optimism grows surrounding the COVID vaccine, touring and festivals have yet to resume…and for the most part, have yet to be announced. New York City’s Governors Ball is bucking that trend. In a tweet on Wednesday morning, the fest announced the dates for its 2021 edition. Instead of taking place in its usual June slot (which probably would have been extremely unlikely at best), this year’s event will happen from Sept. 24 through Sept. 26. The lineup hasn’t been revealed, but a tweet said that the new lineup is “coming soon” and that it will be different from the 2020 edition that was going to feature Tame Impala, Missy Elliott, Vampire Weekend, Stevie Nicks, Solange, Miley Cyrus among many more. “Rest assured, we are working closely with the city and state authorities to ensure...
Synchronic Splices Together Sci-Fi, Heart, and Humor For One Hell of a Potion: Review
This review was originally part of our coverage of the 2020 Beyond Film Festival. The Pitch: Paramedics Dennis (Jamie Dornan) and Steve (Anthony Mackie) work together in the same ambulance and are also longtime best friends. Running the Garden District route in New Orleans, the two run into a string of incidents linked to a new synthetic designer drug, Synchronic, which is having preternatural effects on users. When a one-two punch of personal tragedy afflicts the friends, their lives are thrown into turmoil as they become inextricably linked to the dangerous narcotic. The Best Time Travel Stories Are Not About Time Travel: Time travel in film is usually best used when it’s a plot device but not the coda of the movie.

CARM and Sufjan Stevens Collaborate on “Song of Trouble”: Stream
Contemporary classical ensemble yMusic has been dabbling with the indie rock world for over a decade now, working with everyone from Justin Vernon to The Tallest Man on Earth over the course of their career. CJ Camerieri, the group’s co-founder and horn player, is bringing that experience with him into CARM, his debut self-titled album under that solo moniker, due out January 22nd. Case and point: he got Sufjan Stevens to sing on his brand new single “Song of Trouble”. Co-written by both artists, “Song of Trouble” is a beautiful orchestral number that sees CARM wielding his horn in a way that’s typically reserved for guitars. There’s a sense of sadness that guides it as well as a subtle hopefulness. That feeling is drawn out all the more thanks to the lyrics Stevens wrote. “I called to eac...
Corey Taylor Recruits Reality Star, Movie Actors, and Steel Panther for “Samantha’s Gone” Video: Watch
Corey Taylor’s new music video for his solo single “Samantha’s Gone” is a star-studded affair. The Slipknot frontman recruited the likes of Vanderpump Rules reality star Tom Sandoval, actor Dean Cameron (Summer School, Straight Outta Compton), and hair-metal parody band Steel Panther for the humorous clip. The backdrop is the set of the video shoot for the song, a track on Taylor’s recent debut solo album, CMFT. Sandoval appears as a mulleted frontman of an overzealous indie-rock band that also features Greg Grunberg (Star Wars movies), Latin musician Travis Miguel, guitarist Ace Von Johnson (Faster Pussycat, L.A. Guns), and musician Jonah Nimroy. As they deliver a ridiculous performance of “Samantha’s Gone”, the director (played by Cameron) screams in disgust. When he begs them to stop, T...
