Uncle Luke Surprised As Wife Files For Divorce After 12 Years Of Marriage
Source: Johnny Nunez / Getty After more than a decade of wedded bliss, 2 Live Crew’s Uncle Luke seems to be on the cusp of being a single man once again, and the worst part is he never saw it coming. According to Page Six the 90’s Hip-Hop legend was “blindsided” when his wife, Kristin Thompson, decided to file for divorce after 12 years of marriage. Interestingly enough the decision to separate left the “Doo Doo Brown” rapper speechless as he held his vows sacred and never intended to jump the broom only to eventually throw it all away. Luke said in a statement that Kristin Thompson filed for a split on July 17. “It’s mind-boggling, hurtful, and a total surprise. I never intended to get married to get divorced,” he said, “That’s not in my DNA nor my family’s history. I believe in the sacre...
Megan Thee Stallion Shares “F*ck You” Message After Little Guy Drops Album
Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz Instead of apologizing to Megan Thee Stallion publicly for allegedly shooting her, that Canadian crooner dropped a whole album about the incident. Well, the “Savage” rapper has finally responded, and she’s not pulling her punches. Taking to Instagram, Meg addressed the whole Daystar fiasco. “Nothing REAL can be threatened 🤗 ,” was a caption tied to her latest collab with Fashion Nova. “Oh yeah and remember when I said I was collaborating with @fashionnova to make jeans for tall women 😛 These are the first samples 🔥🔥🔥 coming soon 😈” She followed that up with another post, a couple of selfies, with more smoke pointedly aimed at the little guy. Well actually, it’s the rings she’s wearing that spell out “F*...
Desus & Mero Chopped It Up With Skateboard Legend, Tony Hawk
Source: Showtime / Showtime Last night (Sept. 27) for their 250th episode, “New York Miracle,” Desus & Mero turned in another hilarious show. In-between all the jokes and silliness, the Bronx dup gave skateboard heads a treat when they had a virtual sit-down with the 900 legend himself, Tony Hawk. After talking about the remastering of the classic video game Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater, the skating icon talks about his charity, The Skate Park Project which tries to fund skate parks in “underserved areas” for the kids, and how his older brother’s surfing inspired him to pick up a skateboard and make history. While he admits he began skating “mostly for transportation” he remembers it all changed when “at some point I went to a skate park for the first time and when I saw people flying a...

WHITESNAKE’s DAVID COVERDALE Blasts Anti-Maskers: ‘You’re Endangering Other People’
David Coverdale spoke to Kyle Meredith of Louisville’s 91.9 WFPK radio station about the cancelation of all of WHITESNAKE‘s previously announced touring activities, including this summer’s U.S. trek with SAMMY HAGAR & THE CIRCLE and NIGHT RANGER, so that he could undergo surgery for bilateral inguinal hernia. He said (hear audio below): “Of course I’m missing performing. I’d just had the most successful ticket sales in WHITESNAKE‘s history in 2020, and it was devastating to have to cancel that tour. But I had to cancel for health reasons — it was prior to the world closing down because of the coronavirus. My issue started when I started the tour in Melbourne, Australia earlier this year, and the second song was ‘Slide In In’. As I s...
Utgard – ENSLAVED
RATING: 9/10 ENSLAVED‘s journey into prog-fueled musical madness has been an incredibly fun evolution to witness. The remaining vestiges of their more blistering black metal days become more and more of a distant memory with every subsequent album, but it is a testament to the group’s creativity — and their ability to still tastefully layer in the few moments of harshness that do remain — that the backlash typically caused by such progressions has remained relatively muted. The title of their latest record, “Utgard”, is a reference to a land that existed in Norse mythology. The journey taken by the Norwegian metal masters is suitably wondrous. “Utgard” feels like the true culmination of ENSLAVED‘s ascendancy to the throne of modern prog-metal wizar...
PAPA ROACH’s JACOBY SHADDIX: Being A Father Has Changed The Way I Approach Everything In Life
PAPA ROACH frontman Jacoby Shaddix spoke to the “Behind The Vinyl” podcast about how fatherhood has changed his perspective on life and touring. He said (hear audio below): “Being a father has definitely evolved the way that I approach everything in my life, to be honest — in a lot of good ways, I feel. And the relationship that I’ve been able to build with my boys over the years, and they’ve been able to travel with me and see life from a different perspective. And I think that’s important. I’ve also struggled a lot with being gone so much. “Sometimes I’ll talk to my kids, I’m, like… I’ve asked my kids straight up, ‘Do you resent me for being gone all the time? Are you mad at me?'” he continued. “And their...
The Criterion Channel Has the Best Halloween 2020 Lineup
If you couldn’t tell, Halloween is a big deal when it comes to streaming. Netflix, Hulu, Shudder, and AMC are all offering countless tricks and treats for the month of October. Joining them is The Criterion Channel, and they may be a cut above the rest. As Bloody Disgusting reports, the prestigious channel is dialing things back to the ’70s for October 2020, dropping 29 vintage titles that prove horror looked better in bell bottoms and sequins. It’s a pristine lineup that would impress the likes of Joe Bob Briggs. “In the 1970s, everything was wilder, weirder, and more far-out—and horror movies were no exception,” Criterion announced in a statement. “This tour through the 1970s nightmare realm is a veritable blood feast of perverse pleasures from a time when gore, grime, and sleaze found a...
beabadoobee Unveils New Song “How Was Your Day?”: Stream
Rising rocker beabadoobee shared her new song “How Was Your Day?”. It’s the latest preview of her debut album Fake It Flowers, which drops October 16th via Dirty Hit. As you might guess from the songwriter behind “I Wish I Was Stephen Malkmus”, bea has never been afraid to express herself with a forceful electric guitar. But here she strikes a softer tone, with acoustic strumming providing a backdrop for a bruised vocal delivery. The question, “How was your day?” is an attempt to reestablish communication. “What do you look like?” she asks later. “Remember when we used to fight?” Others might not recall that memory so fondly, but this is a song for appreciating the view through rose-colored glasses. She sings, “You used to kiss me/ Guess it’s not hard to believe/ That I miss gett...
Rock and Metal Tours Rescheduled for Early 2021 Are Already Being Canceled
Early on during the COVID-19 outbreak, bands who announced rescheduled dates for early 2021 probably thought they were playing it safe. Now, with no end to the pandemic in site, those rescheduled tours are starting to get canceled themselves. Predictions of the concert industry not returning in earnest until late 2021 or even 2022 seemed shocking when they first made headlines in the spring. But as we head into October, those prognostications are now turning into a reality. Veteran stoner rockers Monster Magnet were set to kick off a North American tour in celebration of their 1998 album Powertrip on March 20th of this year. When the pandemic hit, the band postponed the tour but eventually rescheduled the dates for January and February of 2021. Recently, Monster Magnet canceled those resch...
Sufjan Stevens on His 2018 Oscars Performance: “One of the Most Traumatizing Experiences of My Entire Life”
In 2018, Sufjan Stevens delivered arguably the biggest performance of his career at the 90th Academy Awards. However, despite his poignant poise while playing Call Me By Your Name song “Mystery of Love” — in a luxe Gucci outfit and accompanied by St. Vincent, no less — Stevens actually considers that evening one of the most “traumatizing” in all his 45 years on this Earth. The indie songwriter recalled that fateful Oscars night in a new interview with The Guardian (via The A.V. Club). “Honestly, one of the most traumatizing experiences of my entire life,” he bemoaned. According to Stevens, his bleak assessment has more to do with the Oscars and what it represents than with the actual performance itself. “I didn’t want to have anything to do with that world and that culture,” he e...
Amanda Shires Offers New Song ‘The Problem’ for International Safe Abortion Day
Amanda Shires’ new song “The Problem,” featuring Jason Isbell, is out today (Sept. 28), to coincide with International Safe Abortion Day. All proceeds from “The Problem” benefit The Yellowhammer Fund, an abortion fund and reproductive justice organization based in Alabama. In a statement, Shire says, “This song is about making tough decisions and not having to go it alone.” Isbell, Shires’ husband and a former Drive-By Truckers member, adds in a statement, “To me, ‘The Problem’ is a song about supporting someone you love through a difficult time It’s about helping without exerting your own will. I support a woman’s right to choose, and I know these choices are never easy.” The lyrics feature a “conversation” between Shires and Isbell that includes: [Shires] I’m scared t...
