Martin Garrix Featured In PSA for War Child’s COVID-19 Initiative
International nonprofit War Child is featuring a number of celebrity ambassadors in their latest PSA, including one of dance music’s most recognizable names, Martin Garrix. The organization’s new video aims to raise awareness of the plight children in war-torn areas continue to face, especially today considering the devastating impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The added pressures of COVID-19 have exacerbated shortages in food supplies, and basic healthcare essentials in a number of conflict zones. “Children in war zones are often displaced from home, separated from their families, struggling to overcome their experiences,” said Garrix in the video. The pandemic has posed a new set of challenges for the War Child organization itself, whose membe...

MAGICK TOUCH – MAGICK TOUCH
RATING: 8/10 Millions of words have been written about the bands that mastered, pioneered and defined a genre. The bands that are jacks of all trades and scratch the right itches in multiple corners of a genre can often get lost in that shuffle. MAGICK TOUCH definitely falls within the throwback-metal tag. But while some bands fall firmly into NWOBHM-worship or pure retro-thrash, this Norwegian power trio infectiously explore every corner of what could have been classified as melodic heavy metal between the years of 1983 and 1987. Their third record, “Heads Have Got To Rock’n’Roll”, seems to serve as an audio guide to that era similar in manner to a Cliffs Notes guide from the same time period. The opening track is a galloping ripper that would have fit snugly on a ...
Scott Pilgrim Cast Reunites for 10th Anniversary Script Read-Through
For the 10th anniversary of Edgar Wright’s Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, the film’s cast recently filmed a dramatic read-through of the original script. The benefit event was remotely recorded in May, and will premiere on EW.com “later this summer,” at a time to be determined. Based on graphic novels by Bryan Lee O’Malley, Scott Pilgrim vs the World was seen as a box office letdown upon its 2010 release, but has since achieved a devoted cult following. It stars Michael Cera as 22 year-old bassist Scott Pilgrim, as he battles the “evil exes” of his would-be girlfriend Ramona Flowers (Mary Elizabeth Winstead). Both actors participated in the reunion, as did Jason Schwartzman, Satya Bhabha, Chris Evans, Ellen Wong, Mark Webber, Alison Pill, Anna Kendrick, Aubrey Plaza, Mae Whitman, a...
Bill and Ted 3 Release Date Delayed Two Weeks
It’s been almost thirty years, but the third installment of the Bill and Ted franchise will have to wait a little longer. Bill & Ted Face the Music has been pushed back two weeks to avoid sharing the calendar with Tenet. Both movies have been shuffling around release dates. Most recently, Tenet was scheduled for July 31st, but it was delayed yet again amidst a surge of COVID-19 cases. Now Christopher Nolan’s latest mindbender is hoping to land sometime between August 12th and 14th. Bill and Ted had planned to Face the Music on the 14th, but rather than compete with a sci-fi blockbuster juggernaut, Bill & Ted’s producers are content to catch the next dance on August 28th. As a sequel to 1989’s Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure and 1991’s Bill & T...
The Rolling Stones Threaten to Sue Donald Trump Over Unauthorized Use of Their Music
The Rolling Stones have no sympathy for the devil. The legendary rock band is threatening to sue Donald Trump and his campaign over the continued unauthorized use of the band’s music. According to a statement released on Saturday, The Rolling Stones and the performing rights organization BMI have served Trump with a final warning to cease playing the band’s music at official campaign events and rallies. “If Donald Trump disregards the exclusion and persists then he would face a lawsuit for breaking the embargo and playing music that has not been licensed,” the statement reads. As BMI explained to Deadline, the Trump campaign has a Political Entities License which provides them with access to more than 15 million musical works in BMI’s repertoire. However, the license includes a provision t...
Song of the Week: BLACKPINK’s “How You Like That” Illuminates the Darkest Places
Song of the Week breaks down and talks about the song we just can’t get out of our head each week. Find these songs and more on our Spotify New Sounds playlist. A year ago, we were admittedly still trying to make sense of K-pop. We wondered how artists we had never heard of — or only recently came to know — were selling out arenas in record time. We tried to figure out what the deal was with those guys (BTS, btw) teaming with Lil Nas X at the Grammys. Finally, our own Alexis Hodoyan-Gastelum, a longtime K-pop fan and writer, broke it down for us: “K-pop is not a genre. A type of music? Sure. An industry? Yes. A musical scene? Definitely. But not a specific genre. Boom, now we can move forward.” Whether it was the bands, the fans, or the scope of the music itself, we were trying to fit some...
Miley Cyrus Covers the Beatles ‘Help!’ for Global Goal Livestream
Miley Cyrus’s song choice was an apt one for the Global Goal: Unite for Our Future livestream on Saturday. The pop star put her own twangy twist on the Beatles’ 1965 classic “Help!” to an empty Spieker Field at the Rose Bowl during the virtual concert, which was organized to help communities disproportionately affected by the coronavirus pandemic. Aside from the performance, Cyrus also discussed how her generation is helping incite change. “My generation is hungry for change and is leading that charge in many ways,” the singer told Global Citizen. “I’ve just been a student, over the last few months and especially over the few weeks in my home country. I’ve been a student of these organizers and being able to learn and educate myself. That’s kind of what my time is fille...
Rolling Stones Threaten Lawsuit If Donald Trump Continues Using Their Music at Events
The Rolling Stones are threatening Donald Trump with a lawsuit after the president ignored their previous cease-and-desist letters demanding him to stop using their music at events. After publicly telling him to stop using “You Can’t Always Get What You Want” during his 2016 presidential campaign, Trump played the song during his lightly attended rally in Tulsa last Saturday. Now, the Stones’ legal team and performing rights organization BMI have sent a firmer message to the president’s team, threatening a lawsuit if he continues to play the band’s music without permission. “BMI have notified the Trump campaign on behalf of the Stones that the unauthorized use of their songs will constitute a breach of its licensing agreement,” the Rolling Stones rep said in a statement. “If Donald T...
DaBaby ft. Roddy Rich “Rockstar,” Blueface “Finesse The Beat” & More | Daily Visuals 6.26.20
Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz One thing we’ve always wondered is what would we as the Hip-Hop culture do in the event of a zombie apocalypse? We know how things would go down in the burbs given all the Hollywood movies but what would someone like DaBaby do? Well in his latest visuals to the Roddy Rich assisted “Rockstar” he gives us an idea of how he’d be living with the undead walking the earth. Running around commando style with all kinds of toast and heat, DaBaby and Roddy body every zombie in sight who isn’t vibing to their track. Pretty entertaining ish. Back in LA Blueface keeps his name buzzing with a new clip for “Finesse The Beat” which finds the rapper balling from the garage to his bathroom. That “Thotiana” paper musta been hella long. Check out the rest of today’s dro...
