Days, weeks and months spent listening to each other, composing, jamming freely, and arranging the fruit of those jams with great care and purpose. The sounds, rhythms, vibrations, words and melodies h...

Studio Ghibli Launches Official Website of Ghibli Park
Following the release of its trailer, Studio Ghibli launched its official website of the Ghibli Park to further tease the forthcoming landmark. This will be the world’s first park inspired by the beloved Japanese animation studio known for its wildly imaginative narratives and visuals. Currently undergoing construction, the park is set to be structured in Aichi Expo Memorial Park (Morikoro Park) in Nagakute, Japan — a massive land full of greenery much like the settings in the films. As co-founder Hayao Miyazaki intended, there will be no big attractions or rides to invite guests to “take a stroll, feel the wind, and discover the wonders” of the world of Ghibli to fully immersive one’s self. The site will be divided into five sectors and will showcase areas inspired by the classics namely ...
Steve-O, Chris Pontius Sued Over Jet Ski Stunt That Supposedly Left Man Injured
Michael Vicens-Segura has filed a lawsuit against Jackass staples Steve-O and Chris Pontius over a jet ski stunt that supposedly left him injured. According to papers obtained by TMZ, Vicens-Segura is suing the two stuntmen for negligence and claims that in 2018, the two stuntmen asked if they could use his jet ski for a water stunt while they were in Puerto Rico. The water stunt was supposedly a tug-of-war on jet skis — similar to the group’s BMX Tug of War from the past — where two people, attached to each other via a bungee cord, will be on jet skis facing opposite directions. The pair will then speed off and see who gets pulled to the water first. Vicens-Segura now alleges that he was asked to hold one of the jet skis due to the waves and when Steve-O and Pontius attempted to spee...

Both JT and Yung Miami took to Twitter to echo the sentiment...

Where Myth Becomes Memory – ROLO TOMASSI
RATING: 8.5/10 A consistently enlightened force for creative good in the UK’s populous heavy music scene, ROLO TOMASSI have made a virtue of ignoring what everyone else is doing and following a singular path. Ostensibly borne of the hardcore scene, the Sheffield quintet embraced a liberated, come-one-come-all musical philosophy from the start. Early albums like “Hysterics” and “Cosmology” were rightly praised for their genre-slicing audacity, but it has been in more recent times that ROLO TOMASSI have evolved into the band they long promised to be. Both 2015’s “Grievances” and 2018’s “Time Will Die and Love Will Bury it” were widely acclaimed, both for the band’s seamless and symbiotic, post-everything approach to song...
