New Digital Marketplace 140 Plates Streamlines the Way You Search for Dubstep
A new one-stop-shop for dubstep has launched to shake up the way you search for new music. 140 Plates is a new digital marketplace founded by esteemed DUPLOC label head Pieter Grauwels. The platform only hosts music at or around 140 BPM, including dubstep, trap and grime, allowing DJs to eschew sifting through the convoluted categories of its larger competing marketplaces and dig right into the types of music they’re looking for. 140 Plates Additionally, this method of searching could help DJs expand their horizons, as they may find something that fits their niche while crate-digging on the platform. This is bolstered by 140 Plates’ “explore” feature. When users click on the tab, they are able to choose from tracks or releases as well as how long ago the s...
NIRVANA Files Motion To Dismiss ‘Nevermind’ Baby Lawsuit
NIRVANA has filed a motion to dismiss the recent lawsuit filed over the cover of the band’s iconic album “Nevermind”. This past August, Spencer Elden, the man who claims he was the baby featured in the image, sued the surviving members of NIRVANA as well as the estate of Kurt Cobain. Elden alleges the photo of the baby reaching for a dollar in a swimming pool violated federal child pornography statutes and argues child sexual exploitation. But NIRVANA, as well as Kurt Cobain‘s widow, Courtney Love, are asking the court to throw out the lawsuit, saying Elden‘s claim that the photograph on the “Nevermind” cover is child pornography is “not serious” and insisting that his claim is “barred by the applicable statute of limitations.R...
METALLICA’s ROBERT TRUJILLO Says ‘There Was A Certain Feeling Of Confidence’ Before First 40th-Anniversary Concert
METALLICA bassist Robert Trujillo discussed the band’s two 40th-anniversary concerts, which were held in at San Francisco’s Chase Center on December 17 and December 19, during a recent SiriusXM Mandatory Metallica and Liquid Metal live call-in roundtable, hosted by Jose Mangin, Steffan Chirazi and Spider Dan. Speaking about what it was like to go up on stage for the first of the two shows, Robert said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “Here’s something that’s very helpful, and a lot of people may not know this. But James [Hetfield, METALLICA frontman] and I actually, before the show, a couple of hours before, we went up in the nosebleed seats and we watched all of the film content that was transitional into the songs for the evening. So we saw all the film...

METALLICA’s LARS ULRICH: 40th-Anniversary Concerts Were An ‘Otherworldly Experience’
METALLICA drummer Lars Ulrich has described the band’s 40th-anniversary concerts as an “otherworldly experience.” METALLICA‘s two 40th-anniversary shows, which were held in at San Francisco’s Chase Center on December 17 and December 19, featured different setlists.

‘So Happy’: Nany And Kaycee Reflect On Their Spies, Lies And Allies Romance
Kaycee is a champion of Spies, Lies and Allies, but her road to victory meant she had to defeat girlfriend Nany at the final (pun intended) hour. Even though there is a happy ending for the lovebirds because they are still together — and Kaycee nabbed her share of the $1 million prize with CT — there were plenty of tears as the former Purple Cell teammates relived the “Back Up Off Me” elimination during the Season 37 reunion. “It was the weirdest feeling,” the historic Big Brother and Challenge champ reflected to host Maria Menounos and the Challenge cast. “I love to win. I’m going to do whatever it takes. I’ve never experienced anything like this in my life. I was like, ‘Damn. I cannot go all out with this girl.'” Silver me...
Alana Haim Would Relive Filming Licorice Pizza Every Day If She Could
By Zack Witzel Alana Haim hails from the San Fernando Valley. It’s her home. So, sweating in the streets of 1973 California as twentysomething Alana Kane in Licorice Pizza, Paul Thomas Anderson’s naturalistic new film about the frenetic, ephemeral magic of youth? Totally normal. “It’s fucking hot,” she tells MTV News. “And that’s how I grew up. You never wore makeup because it melted off your face. Every day you were running around trying to find a pool.” But she’s a musician, not an actor. Haim, her band with her two older sisters, Danielle and Este, has been her full-time gig since at least 2012. They’ve released three albums, the latest of which, 2020’s Women in Music Pt. III, snagged two Grammy bids, including Album of the Year. They’ve toured the globe, and next year, their just-annou...
How Casey’s Pregnancy Unfolded On The Challenge: All Stars
Casey happily shared last month that she was expecting a “mini all stars” in March 2022. But that was only the beginning: Challenge cameras were rolling as the Fresh Meat alum learned that she and her then-fiancé (now husband!) Kyle would be parents. During this week’s All Stars episode, Casey admitted that she had been feeling more tired than usual and had “counted a lot of days” (aka she was late). “I overthink things a lot, and this could all be related to stress being in this environment, but I’m an accountant,” Casey stated in a confessional, as she privately prepared to take a pregnancy test. “So I’ve done the math and, at this point, I’m fairly certain there’s a very solid chance that I could be pregnant.”...
