EXODUS Singer STEVE ‘ZETRO’ SOUZA Reflects On His Worst Show
During an appearance on “Put Up Your Dukes”, the new podcast hosted by ex-EXODUS singer Rob Dukes, current EXODUS frontman Steve “Zetro” Souza was asked to name the worst show he ever played in his life. He responded (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “I remember we were on the ‘Headbangers Ball’ tour [with ANTHRAX and HELLOWEEN in 1989] and we were in New Orleans. And I love Slurpees — not as much anymore ’cause of my transformation lately, but I love Slurpees. And we got to the French Quarter, and Hurricanes are like Slurpees with fucking alcohol in them. So I was drinking ’em, and I didn’t really taste the booze and they are high-alcohol-contented drinks. And I drank, like, five of them. And on those tours, we were on stage ...

The clip stars Van Etten alongside dancer and choreographer Hayden J Frederick. Check it out below. Van Etten originally wrote “Used to It” for the HBO documentary Baby God, which follows a fertility specialist who impregnates women with his own sperm. “Ultimately, the film team changed their musical direction, but I found myself welcomely challenged to the idea of writing a song about the concept of family, connection through blood, nature vs nurture, while attempting to incorporate ideas of love and the complexities of science and technology,” Van Etten said in a press release. She continued: “I am grateful for this...

Charli XCX has released a video for her latest single from her upcoming album Crash. The track is produced by Justin Raisen and Sad Pony (aka Jeremiah Raisen). Watch the video for “Baby”—directed by Imogene Strauss and Luke Orlando—below. “‘Baby’ was actually one of the first songs that came together for this album,” Charli XCX said in a new interview with Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1. “I was working on it with Justin Raisen, and we’d done a lot together for my first ever album, True Romance. So it kind of felt cyclical to go back and with him again on what is my final record in my deal with Atlantic.” Charli XCX continued: But obviously so much has changed, and, this song, it was kind of the foundation of the vibe of the album. It’s probably the most sexy song I’ve ever made. It’s about sex...

Guillermo del Toro Slams Oscars for Cutting Awards from Live Broadcast
It seems pretty likely that we’ll hear Guillermo del Toro’s name at this year’s Oscars, but the filmmaker wants his fellow artisans to get the same due as big-name directors. While accepting an award at the Hollywood Critics Association Awards on Monday (February 28th), del Toro criticized the Academy for cutting select behind-the-scenes categories from the Oscars’ live broadcast, noting the collective nature of filmmaking. “If any year was the year to think about it, this is not the year not to hear their names live at the Oscars. This is the year to sing and do it live,” del Toro said. The director, who was accepting the Filmmaking Achievement Award, was referring to the artists who work in documentaries, editing, makeup and hairstyling, production design, short films, and sound. Last we...
Voice of Bender John DiMaggio Finally Joins Futurama Revival: “I’m Back, Baby!”
John DiMaggio would like to invite all the haters to bite his shiny metal ass. As Variety reports, the voiceover legend has officially boarded the Futurama revival headed for Hulu. When Futurama was pulled out of the cryogenic chamber last month, fans quickly noted a missing piece: DiMaggio, a veteran of such beloved properties as Adventure Time, Gears of War, Teen Titans and more, who had voiced the character of Bender since the show’s inception. As he subsequently explained in a statement, he’d turned down an offer out of “self-respect,” adding, “Just to be clear, I don’t think only I deserve to be paid more. I think the entire cast does.” His holdout was brief and apparently successful. In a jubilant new statement, DiMaggio wrote, “I’M BACK, BABY!...
