In a panel called “Can Blink 182’s Tom DeLonge Uncover US Government UFO Secrets?” Delonge will be putting on his UFO expert hat and will speak with former intelligence officer and fellow UFO hunter Luis Elizondo about what else — aliens and space.

Hayley Williams Closes Out Quarantine Covers Series With This Radiohead Classic
Hayley Williams took to social media on Saturday (Aug. 8) to share her latest quarantine cover, an acoustic take on Radiohead’s exquisite bummer ballad “Fake Plastic Trees.” “Green plastic watering can/ For a fake Chinese rubber plant/ In the fake plastic earth/ That she bought from a rubber man/ In a town full of rubber plans/ To get rid of itself,” she croons over simple acoustic guitar after a couple of false starts. “The last of the self-serenades…for a while, anyway,” the Paramore frontwoman wrote alongside the cover, which she posted as a voice memo. “The top requested song throughout my brief career in self-serenadism has been a @radiohead song. {“nid”:”9428406″,”type”:”post”,”...

Musicians Criticize Jeff Bezos’ ‘Willful Blindness’ to Twitch Music Royalties
While testifying at a congressional hearing late last month, Amazon founder and CEO Jeff Bezos admitted that he wasn’t sure whether or not the company pays royalties for the music users stream on Amazon-owned livestreaming platform Twitch (it doesn’t). His response angered artist-run non-profit Artist Rights Alliance, which has sent a letter to Bezos challenging him to pay artists their fair share, as music streaming on Twitch continues to surge. “We were appalled […] by your inability or unwillingness to answer even the most basic question about Twitch’s practices in this regard,” the letter reads. “As Twitch uses music to grow its audience and shape its brand, the company owes creators more than the willful blindness and vague platitudes you offered du...

Zack Snyder Teases Darker Steppenwolf In The “Snyder Cut” Of ‘Justice League’
Source: Warner Bros. Pictures / HBO Max We’re still a while away from finally getting the Snyder cut of the much-bemoaned flop known as Justice League and while we await the debut of black suit Superman, Green Lantern, and of course, Darkseid, Zack Snyder gave fans a sneak peak of how Steppenwolf was originally supposed to look. Over the weekend Snyder continued to tease how his original version of the film was supposed to be (before Joss Whedon took over and turned in an atrocity) and took to Vero to debut a much grittier and rugged version of the film’s main protagonist. Sporting an armor more akin to that of a barbarian than a soldier, the new/old version of Steppenwolf looks way more badass than the lame mother-loving villain in Whedon’s 2017 bomb. Zack Snyder has sha...
Michelle Obama Reveals Struggle With ‘Low-Grade Depression’ On Her Podcast
Source: Netflix / Courtesy of Netflix Last week, Michelle Obama confessed she’s dealing with a form of “low-grade” depression. Between the racial injustice, the pandemic, and the tomfoolery of the Trump administration, she’s struggling to keep it all together. The former first lady revealed all in the second episode of her new podcast on Spotify featuring invited guest Michele Norris, a columnist at the Washington Post. Throughout their conversation, it was discussed how she’s privately managed to navigate some of the most difficult events of the year. The New York Times pulled quotes from the episode. “There have been periods throughout this quarantine where I just have felt too low,” Mrs. Obama said, adding that her sleep was off. “You know, I’ve gone through those emotional highs and ...
Lilly Wachowski Confirms ‘The Matrix’ Was About Being Transgender
Source: Ronald Siemoneit / Getty With news that The Matrix 4 is officially coming to fruition, the franchise’s co-director Lilly Wachowski is opening up about the science behind the film’s theme and reveals it was centered around transformation and actually being transgender. After coming out as transgender themselves following the release of the classic film, The Wachowski Brothers set off a decades long rumor that the trilogy actually pertained to their own personal transition and now Lilly (formerly known as Andrew) has confirmed that is indeed the case. Touching on the subject for Netflix’s Film Club, Lilly Wachowski confirmed that The Matrix was indeed inspired by the brothers’ own transformation. “I’m glad that it has gotten out that, you know, tha...
Wet Ass Cape: Cardi B Responds To Kylie Jenner “WAP” Video Controversy
Source: Prince Williams / ATLPics.Net As the world continues to process the event that was Cardi B’s recent single release people still have so many questions. One aspect has caused so much confusion that the Bronx bombshell has responded. While “WAP” has generated over 50 million views since its debut last week, a cameo appearance by Kylie Jenner left millions of her fans scratching their heads. Their overwhelming concern points to the celebrity’s history of reportedly appropriating Black culture for her personal gain. The backlash was so considerable that one fan started a petition on Change.org to get her removed from the visual. Naturally, Bardi defended the move to include the socialite in the video.

Smash Mouth and Trapt Perform in Front of Unmasked Bikers
Showing up maskless to a Smash Mouth show in the middle of a pandemic may make one seem like they ain’t the sharpest tool in the shed, but thousands still did just that on Sunday night. An estimated 250,000 bikers attended this weekend’s 80th Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, which featured performances from the “All Star” rockers, album-sale-denying Trapt, Buckcherry, Quiet Riot and others. And while organizers for the South Dakota event said they’d encourage attendees to follow CDC COVID-19 recommendations, not many fans listened. Many were packed in for Smash Mouth and few, if any, were wearing masks. At one point, Smash Mouth lead singer Steve Harwell said, “We’re all here together tonight. Fuck that COVID shit!” HAPPENING NOW The Buffalo Chip is attracting hundre...
