Watch Students Face Off Against Zombies in New Trailer for Netflix’s K-Drama ‘All of Us Are Dead’
Netflix has unveiled a new trailer for its forthcoming K-drama All of Us Are Dead. Based on a webtoon by Joo Dong-geun, the thriller series is set in a high school where students are plagued with a mysterious virus that turns them into zombies. Following a brief teaser that was released on January 3, the trailer offers a closer look at the narrative that will unfold over the coming season, beginning with a student calling the authorities to report the apocalyptic outbreak and unsurprisingly, being accused of pranking the operator.

The series will also feature Squid Game’s Lee You-mi, who portrayed player number 240, Ji-yeong. All of...
Dubstep Icons Skream and Benga Are Reuniting In 2022
Over a decade since dubstep pioneers Skream and Benga last collaborated, the iconic Croydon tandem have announced they’re teaming up once again. Skream announced the reunion via Twitter in late December 2021 with little other information.

Moore Kismet Welcomes “Next Chapter” With Stunning Pauline Herr Collab, “Parallel Heartbreak”
“The purpose of my music is to exemplify my truths,” said Moore Kismet in a recent press release. “That’s what my music has always been for me: a way to get my stories and my thoughts out.” And they mean it—at only 17 years old, the prodigious producer is already known for wearing their heart on their sleeve. Now, as they enter a self-proclaimed “next chapter,” it’s clear that this guiding philosophy is here to stay. Kicking off this era is “Parallel Heartbreak” (with Pauline Herr), a fluttering melodic trap ballad which expresses the fear of heartbreak that comes with the embrace of new love. The song dropped today, January 7th, via Thrive Music. “Parallel Heartbreak” begins with a sublime arrangement of plucks, which are s...

New Book Pays Homage to the Beautiful and Chaotic Bloghouse Era
For a short time in the mid-2000s, the dream of the underground rave materialized in unique DIY fashion: bloghouse. Lina Abascal’s new book offers readers a glimpse into the chaotic, vastly undocumented era that many still cherish to this day. Never Be Alone Again: How Bloghouse United the Internet and the Dancefloor is a cultural deep-dive into the bloghouse zeitgeist of the mid-2000s.

David Lee Roth Isn’t Thrilled by Latest COVID Outbreak
One of the latest casualties of the omicron variant of COVID outbreak has been that David Lee Roth canceled his retirement shows in Las Vegas. In September, the gregarious singer proclaimed that he was hanging up his dancing shoes and these shows at House of Blues at Mandalay Bay would be it for him. We know how that turned out. Now, when we first heard that Diamond Dave was canceling the shows, we figured we’d ask his reps if that was true and if Roth had anything to say about it. Well, we have that answer. In an email to SPIN, Roth told us the following (in a way that only he can): Covid Comix The doctor says he’s comin’, But you gotta pay him cash! Roth ways in; “Doc, it’s only a scratch..” Did you get that? If not, here’s an art rendering that Roth cooked up for us well. (Credit: Court...

More details are starting to come out about Jack White‘s big plans for 2022. Back in November, we learned that he’s planning on releasing a pair of albums in the coming months (April’s Fear of Dawn and July’s Entering Heaven Alive). Last month, the former White Stripe announced his globe-trotting “The Supply Chain Issues Tour.” Now, we know a little bit more, thanks to a recent interview with LA radio station Alt 98.7.

Rap Song of the Week: Gunna Establishes New Slang on “pushin P” with Future and Young Thug
Our new music feature Rap Song of the Week breaks down the essential hip-hop tracks you need to hear every Friday. Check out the full playlist here. This week, Gunna teams up with Future and Young Thug on his DS4EVER standout “pushin P.” Before Gunna was considered a contemporary of Young Thug and Future, he gave his career a soft reset by dropping the Yung from his name and launching his signature Drip Season mixtape series. Five years later, he’s become a bonafide superstar who literally taught Lil Baby how to rap, so closing out the franchise with DS4EVER has particular significance. As one would expect, Thugger and Future each make multiple appearances on the project, but “pushing P” is a reminder of why we’re still hoping the sequel to Super Slimey is still happening. A...
Bob Dylan Calls Sex Abuse Lawsuit from Professional Psychic a “Brazen Shakedown”
Bob Dylan’s legal team has formally responded to allegations made by an anonymous woman that he sexually assaulted her when she was 12 years old, calling her lawsuit a “brazen shakedown.” As multiple outlets have reported, his lawyers have also sought to discredit the woman by bringing attention to her work as a psychic. The plaintiff is a now-68-year-old woman identified in court documents as J.C. She initially claimed that in April and May of 1965, Dylan tried to “lower her inhibitions with the object of sexually abusing her, which he did, coupled with the provision of drugs, alcohol and threats of physical violence, leaving her emotionally scarred and psychologically damaged to this day.” However, Dylan was on tour during that period, and J.C.’s timeline of events didn’t match...

Jack White has shared a live video for his new single “Taking Me Back,” which doubles a preview of his upcoming world tour. “People keep asking who’s going to be in the band, what’s the band going to be like for the tour dates… We thought it would be good to let people see who it is is,” White explained in an interview with Alt 98.7, “and as rehearsals start for the tour, to film and record something to see how it’s sounding — I thought let’s do all that at once.” Joining White in the self-directed video are bassist Dominic Davis, keyboardist Quincy McCrary, and drummer Daru Jones.
