Coachella and Lollapalooza Both Cancelled For 2020
Source: Imeh Akpanudosen / Getty Thanks to the coronavirus pandemic, the music festival season is most definitely a wash. For 2020, both Coachella and Lollapalooza have been cancelled, though the latter will be hosting a virtual event. Earlier this year, the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival had been postponed until October 9 -11 and October 16 – 18, 2020. However, Billboard reports that because of layoffs at its parent company, AEG, Coachella isn’t going down at all this year and hopes to return in 2021. Reportedly, it’s being deliberated whether Coachella comes back as a smaller event in April 2021 or as the major moment we’re used to in October 2021. Frank Ocean and Travis Scott were scheduled headliners. As for Lollapalooza, its organizers issued a statement that the live event ...
Black NASCAR Driver Bubba Wallace Unveils Black Lives Matter Paint Job For No. 43 Car
Source: Chris Graythen / Getty NASCAR has had its share of Black drivers, a path laid expertly by the late Wendell Scott of Danville, Va. Darrell “Bubba” Wallace Jr. is continuing the tradition as one of NASCAR’s top-ranked racers and has just revealed that his No. 43 Chevrolet Camaro will feature a Black Lives Matter paint job in the wake of him asking for Confederate flags to be banned from the tracks. Via social media, the Richard Petty Motorsports team that Wallace races for announced the new paint job scheme via a video interview that laid out the inspiration for the Black Lives Matter angle. Wallace shared in the chat with RPM’s graphic designer Bradley Sisson that he was inspired by last week’s “Black Out Tuesday” and worked it out with the RPM team to get the paint job done. “I thi...
After 33 Years ‘Cops’ Is Finally Canceled By The Paramount Network
Source: BRENDAN SMIALOWSKI / Getty In the wake of the George Floyd protests and calls for the defunding and disbandment of police departments across the nation, the Paramount Network has decided it was the right time to cancel the decades-old show Cops as the appetite to watch police “protect and serve” isn’t exactly at an all-time high. The New York Times is reporting that after 30 years the show that turned everyday policing into an Avengers-ish occupation will not be making it’s 33rd season premiere come June 13 due to the current social-political environment that’s driven millions to protest police brutality in the US and other parts of the world. The decision to dead the show entirely comes just a few weeks after the network decided to remove the show from it’s schedule. “‘Cops’ ...

Source: photo: WENN While he has been off the court for many years Allen Iverson’s name still holds a lot of weight in the sneaker game. He has secured the bag thanks to his apparel sponsor. Page Six is reporting that the basketball legend is in for a very cozy retirement thanks to Reebok. The online gossip rag claims that the former Georgetown Hoya is set to receive a $32 million dollar trust fund payment due to his lifetime contract with the Boston based company. Business analyst Darren Rovell claims that the paperwork in question has specific clauses that speak to a vesting option that both parties mutually agreed to back when AI originally signed the agreement in 2001. “Allen Iverson turns 45 today. Ten years from today, on his 55th birthday, he receives a $32 million trust fund a...

GLD and GEO Join Forces for Raucous Rave Tune “Do It Like This”
Bass music duo GLD have teamed up with hardstyle producer GEO for “Do It Like This,” a raucous rave tune that arrived yesterday on New Noise, an imprint under the umbrella of Steve Aoki‘s Dim Mak Records. PSA: this single is not for the faint of heart. With its hyper-house backbone and laser-laden psytrance influences, “Do It Like This” is downright relentless. At a blistering 172 BPM, the single is a whirling centrifuge of vicious bass elements and kinetic sound design, both of which belong under the cavernous night sky of a bass music festival. GLD and GEO do a fine job with the break here, utilizing eerie arpeggios and marching snare patterns, which build and eventually culminate in a merciless second drop. However, the triad of talent go in ...
