Tom Morello Gifts Signature Guitar to 10-Year-Old Girl Who Performed Viral Rage Against the Machine Cover
A few weeks ago, 10-year-old Nandi Bushell delivered an impressive cover of the Rage Against the Machine classic “Guerrilla Radio”, in which she played drums, bass, and guitar. Now, RATM’s Tom Morello has gifted the young rocker with his new signature Fender Soul Power Stratocaster. Nandi has been wowing music fans for a few years now, mostly with her skillful drumming. Her rendition of Nirvana’s “In Bloom” has more than a million views on YouTube, and a recent performance of Queens of the Stone Age’s “No One Knows” got kudos from the band itself. She’s even jammed with Lenny Kravitz and appeared on The Ellen Degeneres Show. The young musician dedicated her RATM cover to Black Lives Matter and the fight to end racism, and Morello shared the performance on Twitter, writing, “Well now we are...
Bright Eyes Play “Mariana Trench” on Colbert: Watch
On Monday night, Bright Eyes delivered their first performance together in nearly a decade. The Conor Oberst-led group appeared on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert to perform their new song “Mariana Trench”. The beloved indie outfit went on hiatus after 2011’s The People’s Key, with Oberst embarking on a solo career and eventually launching Better Oblivion Community Center with Phoebe Bridgers. Now, Bright Eyes are back, and it’s great to see Oberst, Mike Mogis, and Nate Walcott all in one place — even with the corona-conscious social distancing. For their performance of “Mariana Trench”, Bright Eyes eschewed split-screen and other quarantine camera tricks, keeping the presentation simple. The band members were dressed down, joined by backup singers Lucius in their bright ...
Nick Cave Explains Why He Doesn’t Write Political Songs
As protests against racism and police brutality continue around the world, many artists have shared their thoughts and feelings through changing lyrics of existing songs or penning new tracks that highlight the world’s current climate. However when one fan asked Nick Cave about why his song catalog isn’t “more overtly politically outspoken,” the singer-songwriter, in his latest essay in The Red Hand Files, explains why his songs “are in the business of saving the soul of the world.” “Songs with political agendas inhabit a different space,” he wrote. “They have little patience for nuance, neutrality or impartiality. Their aim is to get the message across in as clear and persuasive a manner as possible. There can be great value in these sorts of songs, but they are usually born from a partic...
Tom Morello Gifts 10-Year-Old Viral Rage Against the Machine Fan Custom Guitar
Earlier this month, 10-year-old musician Nandi Bushell went viral for her rendition of Rage Against the Machine’s “Guerrilla Radio,” playing all of the instruments on the song. It caught the attention of Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello who approved of it, saying “Well now we are on the right track.” Morello took his appreciation of her musicianship a step further. In a video shared on the budding British musician’s YouTube page, she shared that Morello gave her his new signature Fender Soul Power Stratocaster. “Hey Nandi, I’d like you to have this guitar as a gift from me to you because you rock so great, and to see someone rocking so great who is so young, it really gives me hope for the future,” Morello said. “I didn’t start playing guitar until I was 17 years old, so...
Henry Winkler & David Bautista Clown Donald Trump’s Water Drinking Struggle
Source: @hwinkler4real / Twitter From grabbing women by their genitals to signing cruel executive orders that negatively affect Americans, Donald’s Trump‘s right hand is known to be anything but idle. But when it comes to drinking water it’s proven to be as struggle as his wig piece. The latest incident happened last weekend when Trump needed both hands to take a sip of water during his commencement speech for graduates at West Point. After much scrutiny and slander for continuing to show signs of some sort of mental decline (his racism still seems very much intact though), Henry Winkler decided to take to social media and show the world how an old, yet able man drinks a glass of water with a single hand. Posting a quick video with a caption reading “One hand,” The OG Fonz held a cup of wa...

The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run to Receive PVOD Release
The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run had been set to be one of the first new releases to hit theaters as they re-open following COVID-19 shutdowns. Now, though, Paramount is scrapping those plans and is instead sending Sponge on the Run straight to PVOD. The CGI-animated film will then be available exclusively on CBS All Access beginning in early 2021 alongside all prior TV seasons of the Nickelodeon series. In Sponge on the Run, SpongeBob and Patrick embark on a rescue mission to save Gary, who has been “snailnapped” by Poseidon. Along the way, they encounter Keanu Reeves (!) playing a Sage named… Sage, who’s also a tumbleweed, and navigate the temptations of Atlantis City. Snoop Dogg, Awkwafina, and Reggie Watts also have cameos in the film. Sponge on the Run i...

Protest songs have been dominating the streaming and radio charts these past few weeks, but that hasn’t stopped Tekashi 6ix9ine from rising to the top right alongside them. The controversial rapper just earned his first No. 1 single on the Billboard Hot 100 with “TROLLZ”, his collaboration with Nicki Minaj.
