STS9 Completes Final “Walk The Sky” Musical Trilogy at Red Rocks Amphitheatre
STS9 is no stranger to taking fans on music journeys by way of their high-energy jamtronica live sets. But the five-piece traded their lighthearted music adventures for a full-fledged musical mission this past weekend at the third and final installment of their concert trilogy, “Walk The Sky.” The trilogy began in 2019 with “Push The Sky” and continued in 2021 with “Sky World” after a year off due to the impact of the pandemic. This past weekend’s conclusion featured four sets at Colorado’s iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre and a special “Day Out Of Time” Sunday performance at Denver’s Levitt Pavilion, all of which “pulled inspiration from native myth and storytelling to deliver shows that are uniquely STS9.” Fans were also a...

Win a Beavis and Butt-Head T-Shirt Club Subscription from Titmouse
As animated characters, the titular heroes of Beavis & Butt-Head aren’t much for variety when it comes to their respective wardrobes. In fact, for decades they’ve just been wearing the same AC/DC and Metallica T-shirts. But these characters have never been intended to be role models, so let’s encourage their fans to switch up their own wardrobes with a giveaway for a whole line of brand new Beavis & Butt-Head tees. To celebrate the upcoming return of the seminal Mike Judge comedy as a weekly series for Paramount+, animation studio Titmouse is spearheading a T-shirt subscription club, featuring new shirts with original designs by Titmouse artists to accompany the release of each week’s episode. While each shirt will be available individually at the Titmouse website, subscribers to t...
Quavo and Takeoff Fuel Migos Breakup Rumors, Drop Another Song Without Offset
For the past several months, breakup rumors have been circling Migos. Now, Quavo and Takeoff have added fuel to the fire after being announced for a Migos show without Offset and dropping another track called “Us vs. Them” that doesn’t feature him as well. Produced by DJ Durel, Duce, Eza, and Money Musik. “Us vs. Them” includes a guest appearance from Gucci Mane in which he shouts out Young Thug and Gunna. Otherwise, it’s an unremarkable trap anthem where Quavo compares the duo to the Golden State Warriors’ championship-winning backcourt of Steph Curry and Klay Thompson (which would apparently make Offset Draymond Green). Watch the music video below. “Us vs. Them” follows May’s “Hotel Lobby,” which Quavo and Takeoff released under the name Unc and Phew. At the time, it was unclear whe...
Max Headroom Reboot Headed to AMC
Max Headroom is getting a reboot with a new series in the works for AMC. According to a report by Deadline, the ’80s sci-fi series about the world’s “first computer-generated TV presenter” is being produced by Elijah Wood and Noah Young under their SpectreVision and All3Media banners. Christopher Cantwell, who previously helmed AMC’s Halt and Catch Fire, has signed on to both run and write for the show. Best of all, though, is the news that original star Matt Frewer will return to step back into the role of Max Headroom. While the series ran for just two seasons from 1987 to 1988 on ABC, the character became a cult favorite. He served as the global spokesperson for the very ’80s New Coke, hosted his eponymous music video countdown show, and was even featured on the cover of Newsweek. Relat...
SASAMI Gives Tender Performance of “Call Me Home” on Colbert: Watch
SASAMI stopped by The Late Show with Stephen Colbert’s series Late Show Me Music on Friday, July 29th to play “Call Me Home,” a standout cut from her excellent sophomore album, Squeeze. During the performance, our February Artist of the Month emotionally ran through the ’90s throwback with arms outstretched while channeling the acoustic-driven sound of artists like Sheryl Crow. When SASAMI sings “I want you to know you’re not alone,” there’s conviction in her voice that lets you know she means every single word. Since dropping Squeeze, one of the best albums of 2022, SASAMI has gone on tour with HAIM and teamed up with Ty Segall and Dinosaur Jr.’s J Mascis for a new version of “Tried to Understand.” Advertisement Revisit her breakdown of the process behind Squeeze here and c...
