OTEP Cancels U.S. Tour: ‘It Is Impossible For Us To Enforce Proper COVID Protocols’
OTEP, the band led by singer, poet, illustrator, author and activist Otep Shamaya, has canceled its previously announced “Sermons Of Fire” U.S. tour which was scheduled to kick off next month. Earlier today, Shamaya issued the following statement: “My Real Ones, it is with a heavy heart that I write this to you. As you know, it’s been 3 years since I’ve toured the U.S. and performed for all of you and I have been anxiously awaiting for the moment where we could all be together again, to make new memories and give you the best show possible. However, many of you know that I have l lung issues due to chronic bronchitis as a child and with the surge of the Omicron variant, how rapid it’s spreading and the inconsistencies with state guidelines and mandates, ...
W – BORIS
RATING: 8/10 With a genuinely astonishing and vast catalogue of releases to their legendary name, BORIS have earned the right to be regarded as underground legends. The Japanese band’s method and madness, perpetually intertwined, have led to some truly groundbreaking moments over the last 30 years: from the strung-out doom experiment of “Absolutego” to more accessible but equally out-there standouts like “Boris At Last -Feedbacker-“, “Pink” and “Smile”, BORIS have been very generous towards those who like to lose themselves in the mind-expanding magic of manipulated sound and overdriven guitars. In many ways, “W” feels like a particularly inviting and digestible addition to the BORIS canon. The band’s ongoing dalliance...

Fan-filmed video of that gig showed the 60-year-old rocker walking to the front of the stage with his guitar strapped around him. He encouraged the crowd to clap along while playing the 1989 MÖTLEY CRÜE hit “Don’t Go Away Mad (Just Go Away)” when he suddenly fell and dropped out of the camera’s view almost instantly....

Machine Gun Kelly Put Thorns on Megan Fox’s Engagement Ring So That “If She Tries to Take it Off, it Hurts”
Hollywood’s cringiest couple is back with more vomit-inducing romantic lore. In a new interview with Vogue, Machine Gun Kelly said he designed Megan Fox’s engagement ring to have thorns on it so that “if she tries to take it off, it hurts.” “It’s a thoroughbred Colombian emerald, with no treatment,” MGK (born Colson Baker) said of Fox’s Stephen Webster-designed, admittedly gorgeous ring. “It was just carved into the teardrop, straight out of the mine. And the diamond was directly from Stephen. The concept is that the ring can come apart to make two rings. When it’s together, it’s held in place by a magnet. So you see how it snaps together? And then it forms an obscure heart. And you see this right here? The bands are actually thorns. So if she tries to take it off, it hurts…Love is pa...

DaBaby “Book IT,” Joey Majors ft. Jadakiss & Grea8gawd “No Losses” & More | Daily Visuals 1.19.22
HipHopWired Featured Video Ever since running afoul of the LGBTQ community, DaBaby’s been keeping a relatively low profile and even though he’s since done what he could to mend those fences he’s still been quiet for the most part until today. Releasing some new visuals for “Book IT,” DaBaby keeps things light and comedic as he rolls through his hood on some golden 24’s before hitting the bar with his peoples and making an example out of a rowdy white boy. Who knew bars kept caskets on deck in cases of emergency. Related Stories Joey Majors meanwhile calls on the Verzuz MVP, Jadakiss and GREA8GAWD to join him for his clip to “No Losses” where interestingly enough Joey and GREA8 rock way more gold and ice than Jay-To-The-Muah who wore none of his jewelry. Surprised Kiss hasn’t commissioned a...
