Kanye West Hires Jason Lee As His Head Of Media and Partnerships
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Johnny Nunez / Getty You can’t see Kanye West doesn’t think outside the lines. The artist who now prefers you call him Ye has officially hired infamous blogger, reality star and Hollywood Unlocked founder Jason Lee as his media manager. The Daily Mail first reported that Ye brought on Lee to “[help] broker deals” be in charge of his “public image” per a source. This comes after Ye has basically kept himself in the media spotlight thanks to disparaging his ex-wife Kim Kardashian’s new boyfriend, Pete Davidson, and sharing any all tea with his millions of social media followers with barely a filter in sight. Related Stories Lee doesn’t come without his own drama, he was forced to retract a debunked news report from Hollywood Unlocked that the Queen of Engla...

Karate: The Bed Is in the Ocean
From the opening lines, Karate set the scene. “So quiet,” Geoff Farina sings in a determined voice, “I can hear that the refrigerator is on.” Just like that, less than 10 seconds into The Bed Is in the Ocean, you’re right there with him. The room hushes; your attention heightens; things you normally overlook rush into screaming focus. Over the span of the Boston trio’s six studio albums, they transformed from a typical 1990s post-hardcore outfit into something harder to pin down, a rock band guided entirely by emotion and atmosphere. To cap off their brief career, their final recording before disbanding in 2005 was a cover of “A New Jerusalem” by Talk Talk frontman Mark Hollis: a patron saint for this type of career-long journey toward silence. The latest entry in a vital reissue series fr...

Steve Aoki Joins the Orangetheory Fitness Team—As the Company’s “Chief Music Officer”
Steve Aoki has been named the new CMO of Orangetheory Fitness. No, not the company’s Chief Marketing Officer, though he certainly has expertise in that department. Rather, Aoki has achieved a title that’s uniquely his own: Chief Music Officer. As the company’s new executive of musical assets, the veteran dance music producer’s first order of business is to soundtrack a series of new exercise routines called “All Out with Aoki.” Recommended Articles Aoki is known for his endless energy and a fundamental desire to explore the limits of his own humanity. He derives inspiration from shows like Man vs. Wild and has famously mastered the art of the five-minute nap. Needless to say, if you’re looking for that extra push, Aoki may just be the workout...
LimeWire Returns As NFT Marketplace to Right the Wrongs of Its Troubled Past
12 years after closing shop, LimeWire is back to reckon with its controversial past—and pave a new path forward. For the uninitiated, LimeWire was the go-to peer-to-peer file sharing service that dominated the early 2000s. Predating the all-access model of today’s streaming services, the controversial platform was used as a workaround for music fans who didn’t want to purchase individual songs or albums via iTunes and other digital music stores. It was as simple as downloading and playing, though it did put even the most formidable antivirus software products through the wringer. LimeWire’s reign effectively came to an end when successful lawsuits initiated by major record labels and music rights-holders resulted in a staggering $105 million in fines. LimeWire’...

After six seasons, Peaky Blinders’ original soundtrack is finally getting the vinyl treatment via UMe.

Greg Daniels on How Jim and Pam’s Romance on The Office Inspired Season 2 of Upload
“You’re familiar with my last two years of life, then,” is how Greg Daniels responded when Consequence told him, at the beginning of a Zoom interview, that I’d seen both new seasons of his current TV shows: The Netflix original comedy Space Force, which he co-created with Steve Carell, and the latest installment of Upload, the futuristic rom-com now making its debut on Prime Video. Both seasons are second seasons consisting of seven episodes each, and both were shot with, as Daniels explains below, a lot of the same crew up in Vancouver, Canada. But while Space Force is a workplace comedy set within a satirical version of America’s newest branch of the armed services, Upload is first and foremost a love story. That’s the element which made Daniels excited about telling the story of a not-t...
The White House Briefs TikTok Stars on Ukraine Crisis
National Security Council staffers and White House press secretary Jen Psaki gathered 30 TikTok stars via Zoom Thursday, March 10th for a briefing on the war between Russia and Ukraine. Since Russia invaded Ukraine late last month, TikTok became an unlikely source of real-time information for millions around the world. While the app has proven to be a useful tool for reporters, its algorithm has also harbored dangerous misinformation and Russian propaganda. Psaki led the briefing alongside Matt Miller, a special adviser for communications at the White House National Security Council. In a recording obtained by The Washington Post, Biden officials emphasized the influence these creators have in online discussions surrounding the crisis. “We recognize this is a critically important aven...
