New York City Elects Its Second Black Mayor In Eric Adams
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Pacific Press / Getty It was Election Tuesday in many states across America and while Democrats were disappointed to see fear-mongering and culture war waging Republicans take home many surprising W’s, New York City Dems were happy to see Eric Adams become only the second Black man to be elected Mayor of the Big Apple. The Gothamist is reporting that the 61-year-old retired police officer beat Republican candidate Curtis “Guardian Angel” Silwa by a landslide being the projected winner by a mere 10 minutes after the polls closed at 9pm. Even though New York City is considered one of the few melting pots in America, Adams has become only the second African-American Mayor in the city’s history behind David Dinkins who won the honors back in 1989. That’s hell...

Dinner With Dogleg: An Evening With Everyone’s Favorite New Post-Hardcore Band
About two hours after finishing their set at the Constellation Room in Santa Ana, California, the night before vocalist/guitarist Alex Stoitsiadis’s 24th birthday, the four members of Dogleg (and their trusty photographer/singular crew member, Erika) sit around a corner booth at a Southern California diner. The Saturday night show where they blasted through a half-hour set of their punk/emo/post-hardcore blend wasn’t their first in the area, but it was the only one since they stormed on to many people’s radar with their first full-length album, last year’s Melee. The Michigan quartet — Stoitsiadis, bassist/vocalist Chase Macinski, guitarist Parker Grissom, and drummer Jacob Hanlon — recorded Melee in Stoitsiadis’s house back in the summer of 2019, but they spent the rest of the year p...
Robert Plant and Alison Krauss Cover Bert Jansch’s ‘It Don’t Bother Me’
Robert Plant and Alison Krauss just released a Bert Jansch cover “It Don’t Bother Me.” From the Scottish folk musician and Pentangle founding member, the track is reworked by the duo with deep percussion hits and Krauss’ searing croon. “It Don’t Bother Me” gradually builds in intensity through the interplaying guitars of Marc Ribot and Los Lobos’ David Hidalgo. “I’ve been a big follower of Bert Jansch’s work since I was a teenager, and of that whole Irish, Scottish, English folk style that has a different lilt and different lyrical perspective,” Plant said in a statement. “I was very keen to bring some of that into the picture.” The cover is the latest song to emerge from Plant and Krauss’ upcoming Raise The Roof, which is set to arrive November 19 via Rounder Records. It marks the duo’s r...
Days of the Dead
To understand the slippery nature of bliss, to glimpse a stress-free manifestation of fleeting euphoria, I would direct your attention to Bill Walton at a Grateful Dead concert. The ancient Buddhists called this state “the divine abode.” Modernity might consider the NBA Hall of Famer as having fallen into the zone – a serotonin-rich wonderland where time is suspended, every shot is all net, and no lifelong synapse destruction can impair one’s flawless recollection of the lyrics to “Scarlet Begonias/Fire on the Mountain.” For three hours, Walton’s fists pump, his head bobbles a groovy “amen,” his smile beams with such incandescent rapture that he might as well be a 7-foot tall, 68-year-old, ginger glow stick. The big man, still throwing it down in this year of the devil’s friend, 2021. Amid...
Britney Spears Blames Mother for Conservatorship in Since-Deleted Instagram Post: “She Ruined My Life”
As the #FreeBritney movement came to a head earlier this year, Britney Spears didn’t shy away from voicing her frustrations at anyone who didn’t stand up for her in her conservatorship — particularly her own flesh and blood. Back in July, the pop star publicly lashed out at her sister, Jamie Lynn, and her father, Jamie, and she’s now doubled down on those claims by blaming her mother, Lynne Spears, for the conservatorship that allowed Jamie to control nearly every aspect of Spears’ life for 13 years. “What people don’t know is that my mom is the one who gave him the idea,” she wrote in a since-deleted Instagram post, according to BBC News. “I will never get those years back… she secretly ruined my life.” She continued, “You know exactly what you did. My dad is not smart enough to ever thin...
