Johnny Depp to Join Jeff Beck for 22 Dates on Fall Tour
Fresh off providing the voiceover for the MTV Moonman during last weekend’s Video Music Awards in Newark, N.J., Johnny Depp has lined up his next gig. The actor/musician will join Jeff Beck for 22 dates on the latter’s fall North American tour, beginning Oct. 4 in Washington, D.C. The pair’s collaborative album, 18, was released in July and features covers of The Beach Boys’ “Don’t Talk (Put Your Head on My Shoulder),” Marvin Gaye’s “What’s Going On,” The Velvet Underground’s “Venus in Furs,” The Everly Brothers’ “Let It Be Me” and Davy Spillane’s “Midnight Walker.” “When Johnny and I started playing together, it really ignited our youthful spirit and creativity,” Beck said earlier this year. “We would joke about how we felt 18 again, so that just became the album title too. I haven’t had ...
Odd Jobs: Pulley’s Trey Clinesmith Brings Punk Rock to Hollywood Film Sets
Of all the veteran punk rock bands with a claim at having the most unique jobs outside of the industry, there’s a good chance that Pulley would finish in first place. Not only is singer Scott Radinsky a former MLB pitcher, but guitarist Trey Clinesmith also actively works as a camera operator for several popular TV shows (Modern Family, The Good Place, Netflix’s The Lincoln Lawyer). Hell, Pulley’s other guitarist, Mike Harder, works on jet planes when he’s not on the road. While one could argue that they all have “odd” jobs, it was Clinesmith who spoke with SPIN (while shooting HBO’s The Sex Lives of College Girls) for this week’s edition of Odd Jobs. Photo by John Stradling SPIN: How did you end up working as a Hollywood camera operator?Trey Clinesmith: Being born here in Los Angeles, my ...
Stacey Dash Emerges From Conservative Cocoon To Realize DMX Passed Away A Year Ago
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Michael Tran / Getty Stacey Dash most likely doesn’t consider herself a Hip-Hop head so she probably should be forgiven after just discovering that a favorite artist of hers has passed away.

Taking both to TikTok and sharing the clip on Instagram, Stacey Dash, now 55, says she was strolling through TikTok to find a song and it was then she realized the rapper born Earl Simmons is no longer with us. From Instagram: I was strolling through #tiktok and found a #DMX song that has saved me many times. Suddenly it says #RIP i know I am late, i did not know he passed away, he #OD I am heartbroken – he was such a...

The 20 Best Riot Grrrl Songs
“Even though I did punch her, I thought she was a genius,” Courtney Love said of Kathleen Hanna in 2002, while attempting to explain riot grrrl to The Strokes live on MTV. Twenty years later, and about 30 since the movement’s inception, trying to define it still feels fraught. Riot grrrl was always a nebulous concept, a label intended to be adopted and personalized by young feminist punks globally. But by the early aughts, once the revolution had become FUBAR from in-fighting, unwanted media attention, and accusations of racist and transphobic exclusion, it already felt like a dream of the past. In that sense, riot grrrl was a specific movement born out of a specific moment in time, and a handful of specific places (usually Washington, state and D.C.). It is not a catch-all label for ...

Bauhaus Cancel Tour as Peter Murphy Enters Rehab
After recently performing shows in Europe, Bauhaus have canceled their forthcoming North American tour that was set to begin in September. “Following a string of critically-hailed reunion shows across continents, Peter Murphy will be entering a rehabilitation facility to attend to his health and well-being,” the band’s representative shared in a statement.
