Thundercat Wrote a New ThunderCats Song
It wouldn’t be right if Thundercat didn’t write a song for the new ThunderCats series, right? With all that’s wrong in the world, you can take solace that at least they got something right with this one. At a virtual Comic-Con panel that took place today (July 23), not only was the bassist known as Stephen Bruner enlisted to write a track for ThunderCats Roar, but he’ll also be appearing in the series as Grune The Destroyer, a villain that appeared in the original series from the 1980s. In typical Thundercat fashion, his tweet on the matter summed it up nicely. Thundercat’s “Dragonball Durag” made our list of the 50 Best Songs of 2020 (So Far). Listen to Thundercat’s theme song for the upcoming Cartoon Network show below: [embedded content] You Deserve to Make Money Eve...

10 Years Ago, One Direction Introduced The World To Their Infectious Joy
It was Halloween in Northern England, and the boys in One Direction were saying goodbye. The final show on their final journey, 2015’s On the Road Again Tour, was wrapping up — the booming pop-rock of “Drag Me Down” reverberated around Sheffield Arena — but there were no tears in sight. Despite the announcement that the group would go on hiatus in March 2016, a break that’s continued unabated for well over four years, the resilience Directioners showed throughout the gig mirrored the very effervescent nature of the band itself. In the years since the band formed in 2010, the musical outfit of Liam Payne, Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson, and (until March 2015) Zayn Malik had weathered plenty together, and together with their fans. Directioners saw the grou...
