Billie Eilish Shares New Short Film On Body-Image Double Standards
Though she’s since had to postpone the remainder of the dates on her Where Do We Go? World Tour, Billie Eilish‘s massive global trek kicked off earlier this year with a powerful statement. Back in March, at a show in Miami, Eilish unveiled a short film meant to combat body-shaming as a preface to her song “All the Good Girls Go to Hell.” Now, she’s shared that film — which had previously only been found circulating in fan-captured footage — in full on her YouTube page. It’s called “Not My Responsibility,” and it features Eilish stripping off layers of her clothes as she asks via voiceover, “Do my shoulders provoke you? Does my chest? Am I my stomach? My hips? The body I was born with, is it not what you wanted?” Eilish included th...

Listen to This EP Created with Recordings of Birds from Renowned Producer Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs
When Alfred Hitchcock released his legendary 1963 horror film “The Birds,” he portrayed our graceful, winged friends as vicious birds of prey hellbent on gouging out the eyes of humans. Renowned British electronic producer Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs (TEED), on the other hand, went the opposite route, using them as an elegant source of inspiration for his ambient I Can Hear The Birds EP. Spanning four tracks, the project represents a departure from TEED’s sound, but that doesn’t make it any less striking. Eschewing his penchant for indietronica and UK garage flavors, I Can Hear The Birds is a scintillating song-cycle of ambient ballads that uses field recordings of warbling birdsongs as each track’s backbone. The tapes were insp...
