Blockbuster Month has come to an end. All throughout July, Consequence of Sound celebrated the blockbuster experience and the true titans of the genre with a variety of features that dug deep into the greatest hits of Hollywood — from popcorn classics to underrated gems.

Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas Welcome Baby Girl
Congratulations are in order to Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas, who became parents on Monday. TMZ reports Turner gave birth to a baby girl named Willa. The 24-year-old Game of Thrones actress and her 30-year-old pop singer husband never publicly confirmed the pregnancy, even when it was announced via the press back in February. At the time, a source told Just Jared that “the couple is keeping things very hush hush but their friends and family are super excited for them.” For those who pay attention to these sort of things and we looking for harder evidence, the ever-nosy TMZ shared photographs of Turner with a very obvious baby bump. Willa is the first child for the couple, who began dating back in 2016. The two eventually got married in 2019 — first with a surprise c...

20 Questions With MK: The Producer Defends Vocal House, ‘All We’re Trying to Do Is Make Something Great’
Mark Kinchen has been under the spell of house music since the late ’80s, when the producer followed his interest in music to the burgeoning electronic scene then happening in his hometown of Detroit. It was this function of being in the right place at the right time, with the right taste, that he witnessed dance world pioneers like Juan Atkins, Derrick May and Kevin Saunderson forging the electronic genre and where he picked up a love of house music that would fuel his career for the following three decades. MK’s latest release is “2am,” a piano-heavy house heater featuring vocals by Carla Monroe, who also delivered the lyrics on the producer’s still soaring 2018 single “17.” The new single is out on Ultra and MK’s own AREA10 imprint. Since ...

A 79-Year-Old Doing Hip-Hop? ‘The Simpsons’ Is Where Free Speech Battles Age Bias Claims
As the old saying goes, no business is like show business. For one thing, show business is speech business. But what acts by an entertainment producer are legitimately free speech, and what acts are plain ol’ discrimination? That’s not always clear. Just look at the ongoing case of Alf Clausen, the 79-year-old who was fired as Simpsons composer after 27 years of celebrated work on the animated classic. As his lawsuit heads toward an important hearing next week, Clausen looks to undercut Fox’s positioning that this dispute relates to an important First Amendment issue. Clausen is suing Disney and its Fox divisions with the claim that his termination was due to age and disability discrimination. The musician says he has been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease and he o...
Lana Del Rey’s ‘Violet’ Poetry Audiobook Has Arrived
After months of delays, Lana Del Rey’s Violet is blooming. The alternative pop singer released her audiobook of Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass, which features 14 poems read by Del Rey, with music performed by her frequent collaborator Jack Antonoff (Bleachers, Fun).

Matching the album cover art, the book cover features a painting of a lush tree decorated with four citrus fruit. As previously reported, half the proceeds of the col...
Spotify Premium Prices Differ Around the World—Here are the Countries Paying the Most and Least
Spotify is the most prevalent music streaming service in the world, but not everyone gets the same deal. According to a study by SavingSpot, the official blog of CashNetUSA, the price of a Spotify Premium subscription differs around the world.

Researchers then used that data to create maps that illuminate which countries’ users are getting the best and worst value for their money. According to the study, the countries that get the best value do so not because...
Prince Harry Used deadmau5-Inspired Secret Instagram Account While Dating Meghan Markle
A recently released biography may have revealed Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex‘s affinity for dance music. Authors Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand discovered that after his first date with Meghan, Duchess of Sussex—then Meghan Markle—he followed her on Instagram using a secret account. Interestingly enough, his username was inspired by iconic Canadian EDM producer deadmau5. In Finding Freedom, Scobie and Durand write that the couple dated in secret, but after their first encounter, she followed a user by the name of “SpikeyMau5.” The page was a private account that donned a profile picture of deadmau5’s iconic mau5head. They then go on to explain why Prince Harry chose that name and how it was inspired by one of his favorite artists and a...
This Music Video Immortalizes a True 1940’s Love Story with Unearthed Footage from Brooklyn Jewish Community
Electronic music vocalist Mima Good is living vicariously through her grandparents to celebrate their love and Jewish ancestry. Good’s new music video for her scintillating lo-fi single “Granddaddy” is a compilation of late 1940s footage that was serendipitously unearthed by her family. It features retro footage of her grandparents, who filmed one another over the years as they fell more and more in love with each other. In an ode to their deeply rooted Jewish heritage, all of the archival footage was recorded in the Brooklyn Jewish community of the era and moonlights as a powerful celebration of love after The Holocaust. Good rhapsodized about the video and its inspiration in a press release. “At 17, my grandfather enlisted with the US Coastguard and fought in...
