RAINBOW Singer RONNIE ROMERO: ‘I’m SO F**king Tired Of This Dirty ‘Music’ World’
RAINBOW singer Ronnie Romero has decried the hardball nature of the music business, saying that “too many people’ in the industry are “beyond the good and the evil.” Romero, who is originally from Chile but is now settled in Madrid, Spain, gave his scathing assessment of the music business while sharing a Christmas message via his official artist Facebook page. The 39-year-old wrote: “I’m SO fucking tired of this dirty ‘music’ world. Everybody think they have the right to tell what to do or how to do it. Everybody think they have the right to judge you. Nobody is enough educated to be polite or at least talk to you as a ‘person’. Everybody wants a piece of your cake and they want it FOR FREE, because if you tell your price they ge...
Kelsey Lu and Yves Tumor Share New Collaborative Song: Stream
Kelsey Lu and Yves Tumor have teamed up for a new song called “let all the poisons that lurk in the mud seep out”. It’s a murky experimental track that also features contributions from Kelly Moran and Moses Boyd. Lu’s 2019 album Blood and Tumor’s 2020 opus Heaven to a Tortured Mind are quite different in many ways, but they share a low-lit ambiance and a sense of cathedral-like beauty. On this collaborative single, both of their steamy falsettos sound part of the same whole, blending and swirling around one another over woozy piano lines. Eventually, some congas and electronic production enter the fray, and the track concludes with a tastefully busy arrangement. Take a listen to the full tune below. In a statement, Lu described the intense emotions the song is...

Drum & Bass Veteran Nu:Tone Announces First Album in Six Years, “Little Spaces”
Hospital Records has been a breeding ground for some of the drum & bass genre’s most prolific artists for nearly a quarter of a century. Perhaps one of the label’s best known artists, Nu:Tone has paved the way for a myriad of producers and vocalists over his two-decade tenure in the drum & bass scene. Nu:Tone’s impressive five-album catalogue has not seen a new entry since 2014, when he released the seminal Future History. After fostering the growth of some of drum & bass’ most influential artists for the past six years via collaborative releases, it was finally time for Nu:Tone’s next album to take center stage. “Back in January 2020 I had a dream one night that I was holding my new album, and it had the words ‘Little S...

TED NUGENT Says There Is ‘Glaring Evidence’ Of Widespread Election Fraud
Outspoken conservative rocker Ted Nugent has once again said that this year’s presidential election was a fraud, insisting that “hundreds of thousands of dead people” voted and claiming that machines were “rigged” to give a Donald Trump vote to Joe Biden. Nugent, an avid Trump supporter, offered his opinion of this year’s election during an appearance on the conservative outlet One America News (OAN). He said (see video below): “Who doesn’t know the glaring evidence [of voter fraud]? I’m aware of all that evidence. Everybody I know is aware of all that evidence. Everybody I know knows that there are hundreds of thousands of dead people that voted. There are probably hundreds of thousands of votes that were created by a few dozen people ...
NIGHTWISH’s FLOOR JANSEN On People’s Fascination With Her Height: ‘I Don’t Really Understand Why It Matters’
In a recent interview with the Swedish smartphone app BandBond, NIGHTWISH‘s Floor Jansen discussed people’s fascination with her height. The 39-year-old Dutch-born singer, who lives in Sweden with her husband, SABATON drummer Hannes Van Dahl, said (see video below): “I’m taller than most women, and I’m taller — depending on where I am in the world — than most men. So that became something. I think it’s difficult to see, when I’m on stage, how tall I am. But if you put me, for example, next to [NIGHTWISH] guitar player [Emppu Vuorinen, who is five feet, three inches tall], then the difference makes it even more fascinating. And more than that, I don’t really understand why it really matters, because it’s not like I can do much about it a...
