Daiki Tsuneta’s Tokyo-based music collective Millennium Parade has shared the opening sequence to the second season of the anime series Ghost in the Shell: SAC_2045. Based on the 1980s manga Ghost in the Shell by Masamune Shirow, the show takes place in the year 2045 following a worldwide economic crisis that led to the dissolution of all forms of currency.

SPIN Artist Introspective: As You Were
Rock bands come in all shapes and sizes. This much we know. But, As You Were are way different than any other band on the planet. Why? Outside of face-melting solos and infectious grooves, every member of the band is an active duty soldier in the United States Army. In this Artist Introspective, As You Were breaks down how they’re changing perceptions about the intersection of artistry and the military, showing how the US Army is more than just about fighting.

James Blake’s New Album Is Designed To Assist With Building Better Sleep Habits
James Blake‘s new album is a snoozer by design. If you thought music was purely an entertainment medium, James Blake might challenge that mindset. Releasing the first functional album under a major label imprint, Blake’s effort aims to create healthier sleep. The album is a product made in part with the assistance of the generative AI technology application, Endel. Endel’s cutting-edge technology creates a feedback loop by which the music adapts and changes based on the time of day, the user’s heart rate, their movements, and more. Blake has honed his penchant for ambient music in recent times, originally making the leap towards developing ethereal soundscapes in 2020, during what he called a “beat holiday.” At the time, the project received praise...

The Best SNL Sketches of the Last 10 Years
Because Saturday Night Live producer Lorne Michaels has actively avoided the kinds of major cast shake-ups that the show weathered in the ’80s and ’90s, it’s become harder to define recent eras of the show. The Aykroyd/Belushi/Radner/Murray era is easy; 1975 until 1980. The Carvey/Hartman/Myers era is easy; 1986 until 1995. But Kenan Thompson has been on SNL for 19 seasons. Kate McKinnon was on for a solid decade. More than ever, large chunks of the ensemble don’t disappear; instead, casts bleed into one another. When McKinnon started on the show, Kristen Wiig was still there. At the same time, some of her other early cast members will still be around next fall when the show returns for Season 48. Well, maybe. The departure of McKinnon, Aidy Bryant, Pete Davidson, and Kyle Mooney does feel...
