Angels & Airwaves Share New Video for ‘All That’s Left Is Love’
It’s been a big past few days for Blink-182’s past and current members. Mark Hoppus saved a deer from a lake and now, Tom DeLonge’s Angels & Airwaves have shared a new video for “All That’s Left Is Love.” The song was originally released in April. Proceeds from the song will go to Feeding America. “We never appreciate the connection we have with others until it’s gone, and although we may not be able to change this first part of this story, we can for sure change the ending,” DeLonge says of the song. Previous singles that have been released include “Rebel Girl” and “Kiss & Tell.” The group is currently (and has been) at work on a new album, which would be their first since 2014’s The Dream Walker. Since leaving Blink-182, DeLonge has had an assortment of...

For her part, Witherspoon opened up about her own personal growth in the context of Hulu’s Little Fires Everywhere.

Good Citizen Mark Hoppus Saved a Deer From Drowning
Mark Hoppus has done a lot in his music career and beyond, but now he can say that’s a true friend to deer. Confused? Don’t be. In an Instagram post, the Blink-182 bassist/singer shared that while he was cruising around Redfish Lake in Idaho, he discovered a deer that somehow managed to end up in the said lake. “No idea how it got there. It was panicked, shivering, panting, tired, swimming in circles. I got on the swim step and we pulled up alongside it and I was able to get my arms around the bottom of its neck and tried to pull it up but it was too heavy,” Hoppus explained in the post, which was accompanied by a video of the incident. “So for twenty minutes we slowly shepherded this deer across the lake, like herding goats in Twilight Princess, to the nearest shore. We got there and the ...
Walking Target Tekashi 6ix9ine’s Instagram Doesn’t Violate Sex Offender Policy
Source: @6ix9ine / Instagram For a trolling and snitching savant, Tekashi 6ix9ine manages to avoid repercussions. The Brooklyn rapper’s Instagram will be allowed to stay up despite concerns it may have violated the platform’s sex offender policies. In case you missed it, before Tekashi started diming out members of the Nine Trey Bloods, he was caught up in a case that involved the exploitation of a minor at a video shoot. Tekashi pleaded guilty to the use of a child in a sexual performance charges and he was sentenced to four years probation in 2018. However, according to Facebook, this doesn’t qualify him as a sex offender, technically, due to his age at the time. Reports TMZ: Here’s the deal … 6ix9ine ran into some legal trouble even before he hit it big. When he was younger — age 18 — h...

Zeds Dead and Subtronics Release Stunning Dubstep Remix of Atmosphere’s “GodLovesUgly”
Yesterday, Zeds Dead and Subtronics teased fans by announcing that their highly anticipated remix of Atmosphere‘s “GodLovesUgly” was finally arriving, sharing the song’s artwork in the process.

DJ Snake Officially Releases Long Sought After Trap ID, “Trust Nobody”
DJ Snake has finally released one of his most craved IDs, the hybrid trap bomb “Trust Nobody.” The single finds the Parisian powerhouse eschewing his radio-friendly moombah-pop style for his heavy-hitting sound of yesteryear. Snake had been teasing the tune at select live shows, perhaps most notably during a performance in his hometown at Paris La Défense Arena, where he unveiled it to a staggering 40,000 guests amid a massive “wall of death” in the crowd. Ever since that show, which was the largest single-day electronic dance music event in Europe, his fans had been clamoring for the ID. “Trust Nobody” features some of the most thunderous sound design Snake has produced in quite some time, with menacing vocal refrains and screeching bass patch...
Here Is a Website with Over 2000 Black Artists and Labels to Support on Bandcamp
Following Bandcamp‘s monumental Juneteenth fundraiser, where the music platform donated 100% of its share of sales to the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, a group of anonymous volunteers have developed a website with over 2000 Black artists and labels to support.

According to the site, the goal of the sheet is to “support Black artists, producers and labels through their Bandcamp links.” In addition to search filters by name, location, and genre, the platform enables users to use a “random s...
