Mysterious Gingerbread Monolith Appears in San Francisco
The mysterious monolith saga just got a sweet and crunchy twist. A new structure appeared in San Francisco on Christmas morning that’s entirely made of gingerbread cookie. Let’s backtrack. On November 23rd, state officials stumbled across a shiny metal monolith in the middle of the Utah desert that looked like it was straight out of 2001: A Space Odyssey. At first, people half-seriously wondered if aliens had planted it there (as they did in the Kubrick film), but then the New York Times ran a detailed story that linked the structure to the late sculptor John McCracken, who was known for creating metal monoliths and once suggested that he’d like to plant them in remote areas for people to find years later. Within a week, tourists arrived and removed the statue, but then a nearly-...

Roger Berlind, Tony-Winning Broadway Producer, Dies at 90
He wasn’t born into the theater, though. Despite youthful aspirations as a songwriter, he found work on Wall Street, becoming a brokerage partner before the death of his wife and three of four children in a June 1975 plane crash in New York City that changed the trajectory of his life. He told the Times in 1998 that building a business and making money didn’t make sense to him anymore. Eventually, he turned to Broadway, redefining himself through a new career. Brook Berlind, his second wife, defined the switch in stage terms. “His life was utterly bifurcated by the accident,” she said. “There was Act I and Act II. I don’t think many other people could have gone on to such success after such catastrophe.” His debut production in 1976 of Rex, a Richard Rodgers musical about Henry VIII, was p...

New Docuseries “Club Ibiza: The Sessions” Features Music Produced by Carl Cox
A new five-part series covering the Spanish football team UD Ibiza features music from Carl Cox, Anna Tur, and Manu Gonzalez. Club Ibiza: The Sessions, which has launched on the subscription sports streaming service DAZN, takes fans behind the scenes of UD Ibiza and documents the team’s rise and ongoing quest to make it to the La Liga championship. The club was founded in 2015 and currently competes in Segunda División B, the third tier of Spanish football. Co-producer Grant Best called it the “most beautiful” docuseries made on the subject, due in part to the series’ setting of Ibiza and the island’s cultural significance to music. “We know Ibiza as the dance music capital of the world but now football has become another re...
The Mandalorian Season 2 Finale Features a Surprising Dubstep Scene
Editor’s Note: This article contains spoilers for the season finale of The Mandalorian Season 2. Alongside its creative storylines, attention to detail, and unbelievable fan-service, one of the highlights of The Mandalorian is its music. Fitting for a show set in the universe of the most iconic sci-fi story ever told, Ludwig Göransson took home an Emmy Award for his work last year. While impressive, it was expected; the Star Wars franchise didn’t become the behemoth it is today through mediocrity. What is surprising, though, is Göransson’s decision to use dubstep in his score for one of the most exciting scenes in the season finale of the second season. Without giving too much away, in a scene featuring the activation of the elite-level villains...
Kick 2020 to the Curb With Madeon’s New Year’s Eve DJ Mix
Just days after the release of his chills-inducing acoustic performance, Madeon is back with another mix. To help send one of the worst years of our collective lives packing, he released a New Year’s Eve 2021 DJ mix on Apple Music. With close to 50 songs packed into just over 60 minutes of music, fans of nearly every genre will be satisfied with the French electronic music star’s choices. While we won’t be able to enjoy NYE like years past, at least the music will still be as good as ever. Seeing as it’s a DJ mix and not one of his trademark live performances, the holiday offering is primarily filled with music from other artists. All is not lost for super-fans, though, as they will still be able to hear original works such as “The Prince,” “...
Marcus Schössow Shares Christmas Day Mix Floating on New York’s Frigid Hudson River
Santa wasn’t the only one who brought gifts this Christmas. In honor of the holiday, Marcus Schössow bundled up and set sail on both the Hudson and East rivers for a livestreamed performance from the back of a boat. Hosted by Anjunabeats, the show was equal parts a test of endurance and musical IQ as the Swedish progressive house vet performed for close to three hours outdoors on a very cold winter day. Before his expedition, he shared a teaser video to let his fans know what was in store. Using multiple cameras, viewers were able to see his mixing as well as some New York City landmarks such as the Statue of Liberty. Curating an adventurous atmosphere with each of his many selections, Schössow’s stream was perfect for those enjoying a relaxing holiday at home or...
SMASHING PUMPKINS’ BILLY CORGAN Says He Started Work On Christmas Album A Couple Of Years Ago But He ‘Junked It All’
In a new interview with journalist Jenniffer Weigel, SMASHING PUMPKINS mainman Billy Corgan was asked about the possibility of making a Christmas album, either as a solo artist or with his band. He responded (see video below): “I actually started a Christmas album a couple of years ago. We kind of did it quick, and I wasn’t satisfied with the results, so I junked it all. But I had written some songs, and I had found some cool obscure songs, and picked a couple of classics that I liked. I hope we get around to it some time, but at the moment, it’s completely stalled.” Corgan previously floated the idea of making a PUMPKINS Christmas album in a 2018 interview with USA Today. Asked at the time if the LP would include covers or be all original material, Billy said: R...

GODSMACK’s SHANNON LARKIN Won’t Publicly Discuss His Political Views: ‘I Feel I’m An Entertainer, Man’
In a recent inteviw with Ghost Cult magazine, GODSMACK‘s Shannon Larkin discussed his reluctance to publicly air his political views. Speaking about the recent U.S. presidential election and how it relates to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, the drummer said: “I really felt that whoever won [the election], it’s all gonna come soon, and the country’s gonna normalize. It’ll never be the way it was before, because we have this bug that is transforming itself as we try and make antidotes. Even with [the pharmaceutical company] Pfizer saying, ‘Oh, we got 90 percent [efficacy rate on the COVID-19 vaccine],’ or now, today, it’s 95 percent. So if everybody goes and gets the shot, then why doesn’t the country open back up? ‘Oh, because th...
