MELVINS’ BUZZ OSBORNE: ‘Guitar Players Are Some Of The Most Conservative People On The Face Of The Planet’
MELVINS frontman Buzz Osborne recently appeared on the podcast “Side Jams with Bryan Reesman” to talk about his love for golf, photography, and collecting comic books. He addressed how he prefers public courses and how his approach differs from other players. He also spoke about his approach to street photography. Buzz on his unusual style of golfing: “I have a really odd way of playing golf. Normally you carry 14 clubs, I carry 9. I have a weird way of playing. I dumb it down in a lot of ways that they wouldn’t really teach you to do, sort of akin to the way Jimi Hendrix is considered the best guitar player in a lot of areas. But there isn’t one single thing that he does guitar playing wise that any teacher would ever teach you because it’s so outside t...

Rammstein’s New Album Might Be Delayed Due to Paper Shortage
German industrial-metal luminaries Rammstein are facing a rather industrial conundrum: a paper shortage. A supply chain crunch across Europe has led to high prices and a lack of supply in the paper industry. Apparently, Rammstein’s new album could face delays because of a scarcity in materials for record packaging and booklets. The news came from an interview with German composer Sven Helbig, who contributed to Rammstein’s new material. When asked about a possible release window for the completed album, Helbig said that the band feared it could be delayed due to the paper shortage.

The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel Season 4 Review: More Mediocre Than Magical
The Pitch: When we last saw the titular character in Amy Sherman-Palladino’s Amazon Prime comedy, things were looking quite bad for her. Despite killing at The Apollo, Miriam “Midge” Maisel (Rachel Brosnahan) has been fired from Shy Baldwin’s tour, thanks to some jokes that alluded a bit too closely to his status as a closeted gay man. This left her abandoned on the tarmac with Susie (Alex Borstein), who, unbeknownst to Midge, had lost all of Midge’s hard-earned money thanks to a combination of gambling problems and general managerial irresponsibility. Meet Me on the West Side: Season 4 of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel picks up shortly after these events in a familiar setting — Midge, onstage, cigarette in hand, seemingly killing at a club in The Village. The cliffhanger of Season 3 seemed to ...
