Venus Skytrip – PSYCHLONA
RATING: 8/10 Despite being intermittently denied the chance to enjoy a hot, hazy summer, we always have records as joyously heavy and fuzzed-up as this to keep the sizzling dream alive. PSYCHLONA have already impressed, rising nonchalantly to the top of the aspiring stoner and space rock piles at their first attempt on 2018’s “Mojo Rising”, but “Venus Skytrip” is a much more absorbing affair than its predecessor. Opener “Blast Off” is simply brilliant. Yeah, we’ve heard this lumbering, doomy strain of psychedelic rock before, but PSYCHLONA nail it with such verve that it feels genuinely fresh here. With a pulsing, krautrock undertow and plenty of lysergic embellishments, it’s got all the attitude and punch of MONSTER MAGNET at their swa...
CHRIS CORNELL Statue In Seattle Vandalized
The Chris Cornell statue at Seattle’s Museum of Pop Culture (MoPOP) has been vandalized. Late Thursday night (August 20), Seattle station KIRO 7 News posted a photo of the statue of the SOUNDGARDEN frontman after it was painted white. Earlier today, Chris Cornell‘s widow Vicky released a statement about the statue’s defacing via the late singer’s social media. She wrote: “My children and I are heartbroken to learn of the vandalization of Chris‘s statue at the Museum of Pop Culture in Seattle. The statue is not only a work of art but a tribute to Chris, his incomparable musical legacy and everything that he stood for. It represents Chris, who is beloved not only in Seattle, but worldwide. “In the face of this hate and destruction, we are thankful on...

Source: Phillip Faraone / Getty Blood is thicker than water. ut it appears that Master P is done living by that mantra when it comes to younger brother C-Murder after P alleges his kindness is “being taken for granted.” On Friday (Aug ), Master P took to Instagram to voice his frustrations after what he states was disrespect towards his family by C-Murder. According to the seven-minute video, Master P states that C-Murder, whose real name is Corey Miller, is frustrated with his family for the lack of results of getting him released from prison while praising Kim Kardashian and long-time friend and ex Monica publicly. “There’s nothing more important to me than family,” Master P said. “And when a family member is incarcerated or hurt, the whole family is affected. But if you truly believe in...
Stevie J Shows Off Massive Tattoo of Faith Evans’ Face
Source: Johnny Nunez / Getty There’s a degree of bad juju associated with couples tattooing their partner’s names or faces on their bodies, but that hasn’t stopped Stevie J. The new ink on his abdomen is sure to please his legendary ol’ lady.\ The “Hitman” producer posted a video an Instagram Story of him laying on his back while the camera panned up and down his abdomen. In full display was a giant portrait of his wife, Faith Evans, inked between his lower peck and his belly button. R&B fans may recognize it’s a replica of her 1998 album cover for Keep The Faith, a project the lovebirds once collaborated on for the song “Lately I.” This display of love is quite the turnaround from the couple’s violent spat at their Los Angeles home in May. Neighbors called the cops o...

Cheers Bar Closing Permanently Due to Coronavirus
The coronavirus pandemic has forced countless businesses to close their doors due to a sudden lack of income. Unfortunately, that list now includes the replica bar from Cheers in Boston, Massachusetts. Cheers sits inside Faneuil Hall Marketplace as an exact replica of the NBC sitcom’s joint. The spinoff location first opened in 2001 to immediate praise and has since become a constant fixture in both the city’s bar scene and its tourism industry. Tom Kershaw, the founder of the Cheers bar, said he tried everything he could to salvage the spot. “I have faced, and pulled through, many kinds of downturns and upticks in the economy within the last 20 years Cheers Replica Bar at Faneuil Hall Marketplace has been in business,” he said in a press release. “Sadly, the COVID-19 pandemic, combin...
Josh Homme, Jeff Tweedy, Josh Klinghoffer, Tom Morello Perform on Joe Strummer Livestream Tribute: Watch
Happy birthday, Joe Strummer! The Clash frontman would have turned 68 today, August 21st, and some of the biggest names in entertainment came together to celebrate with a gargantuan livestream tribute. It included Bruce Springsteen, Bob Weir, Lucinda Williams, Jeff Tweedy, Josh Homme, and more, all while raising money for struggling live music venues. While the list of contributors is as starry as they come, “A Song for Joe: Celebrating the Life of Joe Strummer” placed the late icon front and center. It opened with Strummer’s voice offering a definition for himself: “Punk rock warlord, with warlord being one word.” Over a montage of dramatic photographs, the great songwriter explained how the music itself is separate from the intention. He said, “Music is not the point. What matters is how...
Perfume Genius Performs “Whole Life” on Colbert: Watch
On Thursday, Perfume Genius delivered a #PlayAtHome performance of “Whole Life” on The Late Show. Despite not actually broadcasting from a proper TV studio, the artist born Michael Hadreas still held viewers captive, thanks to some dramatic lighting and his magnetic body language. The whole thing was shot in a dimly lit room in Los Angeles with longtime collaborator Alan Wyffels. Hadreas can be seen performing in front of a projection screen rolling footage of collapsing water towers. Between that imagery, the song itself, and Hadreas’ body and shadow dancing in tandem with one another against the screen, it all felt somewhat poetic. You could almost say that the emotive potency of Perfume Genius is so powerful it transcends quarantine borders. Watch it for yourself below, and then revisit...
Trump Replaces The Rolling Stones’ “You Can’t Always Get What You Want” with “Y.M.C.A.” at Rallies
The Rolling Stones (photo by Heather Kaplan), Donald Trump, and Village People (photo by Heather Kaplan) Donald Trump is running out of songs for his rallies. The White House’s current occupant continues to be sued by artists who don’t want him using their music, including The Rolling Stones, which has apparently left him with no option but to replace “You Can’t Always Get What You Want” with “Y.M.C.A.” as his walk-off song — even though Village People asked him to stop playing that exact song. “Now that I have seen it a few times at various events, clearly The Village People’s ‘YMCA’ is now the walk-off song for the president replacing the Rolling Stones’ ‘You can’t always get what you want,’” tweeted Kelly O’Donnell, the White House Correspondent for NBC News. The Rolling Stones ha...
DJ Snake Taps Malaa for Nasty House Remix of “Trust Nobody”
Earlier in the month of August, French compatriots DJ Snake and Malaa joined forces for “Best of Both Worlds,” a collaborative livestreamed DJ set. To no surprise, the tandem threw down, playing out a slew of their own originals as well as a number of unreleased tracks that had their fanbases clamoring to identify them. One of those IDs has now seen the light of day, thanks to the serendipitous release of Malaa’s remix of Snake’s thunderous hybrid trap tune “Trust Nobody.” Malaa takes his patented sound and twists a knife into it, delivering a more ominous take on his penchant for G-House. He produces nasty bass patches in the drop, which run roughshod through a thicket of saturated kicks and menacing percussive patterns. Malaa also decided to go haywire...
