Temuera Morrison Hopes Boba Fett Will Return to “His Bad*ss Ways” From ‘Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back’
While most Star Wars fans were excited for Temuera Morrison to reprise his role as Boba Fett after his appearance as Jango Fett back in Attack of the Clones, some felt that The Book of Boba Fett had departed too far from the origins of the galaxy’s most infamous bounty hunter, and it now seems that Morrison himself agrees with the sentiment. Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, Morrison says that Disney has “got to bring him back somewhere” after his appearances in both his own show and The Mandalorian. While The Book of Boba Fett hasn’t been confirmed just yet for a second season, the Maori actor hopes that he can reprise his role as Boba Fett once again but return him to the ruthless character fans were first introduced to fans back in The Empire Strikes Back...

Ryuichi Sakamoto Reveals He Has Stage 4 Cancer
Ryuichi Sakamoto is currently battling stage 4 cancer, the Japanese musician revealed in an essay published Tuesday. Sakamoto, 70, was diagnosed with throat cancer in 2014 and rectal cancer in 2021, but had previously offered few details about either cancers’ severity. Writing for the Japanese literary magazine Shincho (via Japan Times) this week, the legendary composer, pianist, and Yellow Magic Orchestra member revealed that he underwent surgery last October and December to remove cancer that had spread to both lungs. Stage 4 typically indicates that a patient’s prognosis is poor. Sakamoto shared the news in an article titled Living with Cancer, the first in a series of essays titled How Many More Times Will I See the Full Moon? in which he discusses his late era musical c...

London-based electronic songstress Shygirl has released a new track “Come For Me.” Produced by Arca, the new song is from Shygirl’s forthcoming project, Nymph. The new track discusses the ever-present desire for love and affection. About these feelings, Shygril says, “If you look at me, I never get lonely / Catch me flying out the trade, I said can you follow me / Looking for a diamond in the rough / Who’s that gonna be / I’m looking at you, can you come with me?” Bringing these sentiments to life, the accompanying music video moves throughout a fog-covered forest before reaching Shygirl who is sitting near a stream. Between sitting on a rock and resting in a tree, Shygirl’s appearances in the video are extremely brief. “Come For Me” is the latest track from Shygirl’s forthcoming album aft...
Every Roxy Music Album, Ranked
Roxy Music gave us Bryan Ferry and Brian Eno, influenced punk and new wave, and charmed a legion of musicians with their sonic collage art: David Bowie, Chic, Grace Jones, Sex Pistols, U2, Duran Duran, Siouxie and the Banshees, Radiohead, Scissor Sisters, Franz Ferdinand, and more. So why the hell did it take decades for Roxy Music to get their due? Apparently, art schoolers with an unabashed love of animal print, cinema and eyeshadow were “remarkably inaccessible” for the gatekeepers of rock canon, a scourge that delayed Roxy Music’s induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame until 2019. Now that Roxy Music are reuniting to celebrate their 50th anniversary, it’s the perfect time to get (re)acquainted with their deluxe and delightful catalog.
