Mick Jagger Touts Yungblud and Machine Gun Kelly as the Future of Rock Music
Mick Jagger has seen the future of rock ‘n’ roll, and their names are Yungblud and Machine Gun Kelly. “In rock music you need energy, and there have not been a lot of new rock singers around. Now there are a few,” The Rolling Stones frontman said in a new interview with Swedish radio station P4 as reported by The Independent. “You have Yungblud and Machine Gun Kelly. That kind of post-punk vibe makes me think there is still a bit of life in rock and roll.” Yungblud, who most recently released single “The Funeral” as a follow-up to 2020’s Weird!, has cited Jagger in the past as an inspiration for the type of career longevity he hopes to have, telling NME back in 2019, “I’m not arsed about being about for 10 minutes, have a hit song, get a fucking mansion, do too many drugs and kill myself. ...
Barry’s Anthony Carrigan on Showing a Whole New Side to NoHo Hank in Season 3
[Editor’s note: The following contains spoilers for Barry, Season 3, Episode 1, “forgiving jeff.”] It wasn’t perhaps the love story you were expecting to bloom when the dark HBO comedy Barry first premiered, but that just makes it a well-earned and also unexpected delight: Following the events of the Season 2 finale, as seen in the Season 3 premiere, the overwhelmingly cheerful NoHo Hank (Anthony Carrigan) and rival mob leader Cristobal (Michael Irby) are now romantically involved. Of course, Barry is not exactly a show built for happy endings, especially for the confirmed mobsters at its core, but for right now, Carrigan is just happy to play a new dimension to NoHo Hank, one which builds upon the character’s established desire to care for others, but with a whole new edge. “I’m excited t...
