BTS’ Jimin Drops Heart-Warming Solo Holiday Jam, ‘Christmas Love’
“Did you get a good Christmas present? I really wanted to hear from you, but fortunately, I am very, very happy to be able to do so,” wrote Jimin. “The reason I came here today is the reason why I suddenly heard this bright song in such a difficult situation, I came here because I wanted to tell you a little about the reason. As you know from the song… This song is a scene where my favorite snow falls out of my childhood memories. I sing with my feelings when I first saw them. “As we grow up, it seems that we miss our childhood a lot,” he continued. “Whether that’s the situation now or not, I thought I wanted to go back to that time. A sense of responsibility for something as you grow. That responsibility makes us mature. I thought that ...
EXTREME’s NUNO BETTENCOURT Says EDDIE VAN HALEN’s Rhythm Playing Was Almost As Influential As His Solo Playing
In a brand new interview with “The Mistress Carrie Podcast”, EXTREME guitarist Nuno Bettencourt discussed the legacy of his longtime friend, VAN HALEN icon Eddie Van Halen, who died in October at the age of 65. “Who is the guy that influenced my style, sound, DNA out of everybody? It would be Edward, without a doubt,” Nuno said (hear audio below). “And I wouldn’t have to tell you that — you can hear it in EXTREME‘s sound. Believe it or not, the funky [side of EXTREME‘s sound], people [go], ‘Well, it made you guys different.’ It’s, like, no. Actually, to be honest with you, the songs that I love the most out of VAN HALEN were the ones like [‘Outta Love Again’]. That’s where I got some of that rock/funk [from...

Kirk Hammett Reflects on Entire Metallica Career: James and Lars “Don’t Even Remember” First Meeting Me
Kirk Hammett has certainly had a memorable 37-year career in Metallica, with the band still going strong. However, his first meeting with longtime bandmates James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich apparently wasn’t memorable for them. The guitarist reflected on his entire Metallica run in a new 80-minute interview for Gibson Guitars’ “Icons” series. One of the stories he told was the time he first met Hetfield and Ulrich. At the time, Hammett was a member of the band Exodus while Metallica were getting buzz as a rising thrash band in the Bay Area. “I remember we were just sitting around one day, and the singer of Exodus, a guy named Paul Baloff, who was an absolute maniac, he walked into the rehearsal and said, ‘Metallica. So heavy. They’re so heavy.’ And I was, like, ‘Metallica.’ And I thought, ‘W...
Sex and the City Reboot Coming to HBO Max
It looks like Sex and the City is getting a reboot. Deadline confirmed with sources that HBO is working out a deal to revive the beloved drama as a limited series for its premium streaming service, HBO Max. If this pans out, it will be the latest of three HBO classics to be rebooted on the streaming service. Over the summer, the WarnerMedia-owned company announced the revival of its beloved psychotherapy drama In Treatment. And earlier this month we learned that a reboot of the cult-favorite vampire series True Blood was also in the works. However, considering that Sex and the City was undoubtedly one of the most iconic shows of the 2000s, a proper reboot would be a huge deal. The series that Darren Star created based on Candace Bushnell’s book ran for six seasons ...
Mr. Bungle’s Dave Lombardo on the Pandemic: “I Had Been on the Go for Many Years and Life Just Stopped”
Mr. Bungle, photo by Eric Larsen As our Annual Report continues, we’ll be taking several looks at how live music changed in a year where most of the world was in lockdown. Today, we share our conversation with legendary metal drummer Dave Lombardo about his incredible year playing with a reunited Mr. Bungle, his life during the pandemic, and the future of concerts. In a year in which the touring industry came to a standstill, a reunited Mr. Bungle were able to make their mark on the concert stage, both in person and online. The band played their first shows in 20 years just before the pandemic began, completing a brief jaunt of a handful of cities in February. And on Halloween, they treated fans to one of the more memorable livestream concerts of the year. Not only did the reunion mar...
Why Fidelity…
Considering the hyperactive mind of the modern music listener, the 50 million songs in Spotify’s catalog and Amazon’s universe of subpar listening devices, can anyone tell which music medium sounds best anymore? What does “sounds best” even mean? While we’re at it, what the hell is sound? Glad you asked because there’s a whole lotta science in sound quality that may go in one ear and out the other, so to speak. Sound, as studious readers may know, is a vibration of the air particles around us, an energy which travels in waves that cause our eardrums to vibrate and us to experience noise, some of which we call music. Tape recorders preserve sound waves physically, using components that realign magnetic particles on tape to represent the wave’s loudness and rate of frequency vibration....

Could Devin Finally Rise To The Top Of The Challenge?
The road from frat paddle to formidable competitor has been a long and winding one for Are You the One? alum Devin, who made his Challenge debut on Rivals III. But after five years on the show and a string of faux pas that have left the notorious pot-stirrer winless, could Double Agents finally be Devin’s game to lose? On the show’s latest episode, Devin and his partner Nicole tested their brute strength in “Road Kill,” which challenged players — in two-team heats — to knock their opponents off of a moving truck (seriously!) without wearing a harness. The team who bowled over their opponents most quickly would win, and when the dueling-dust settled, it was Leroy and Kaycee who claimed victory, finally bringing Fessy and Aneesa’s winning streak to a screeching halt. For Devin, who already f...
