Brandi Carlile Performs “You and Me on the Rock” on Ellen: Watch
Brandi Carlile’s new song “You and Me on the Rock,” is about building her life around her wife and found family, and so it makes sent that she performed the track on The Ellen Degeneres Show surrounded by a community of artists. The twins Tim and Phil Hanseroth aren’t just Carlile’s co-songwriters and collaborators of over 15 years, they are literal family, with Phil having married her younger sister Tiffany. Together the Hanseroth’s handled bass and acoustic guitar, while Carlile was accompanied by Jess Wolfe and Holly Laessig, the two lead singers of Lucius and the most in-demand backup singers of recent memory. Carlile stood smiling at the center of it all, dressed in a velvety magenta blazer and pants that could have doubled as a Vegas wedding suit. Check out “You and Me...
‘Among Us’ Introduces the Shapeshifter In Latest Update
Always continuing to expand on its game, InnerSloth has now announced the arrival of the Shapeshifter for its next Among Us update. As its name suggests, the Shapeshifter role will allow Impostors to transform into any living crewmate on the ship, giving you the chance to wreak more havoc and cause confusion among your subjects. Of course, there’s a catch to it: the shapeshifting only lasts for a short period of time and does leave traces of evidence behind. While shapeshifting, other crewmates can see your transformation process and you’ll also appear as your normal character during meetings. For those hosting their own games, you’ll also be able to change a few settings to modify the Shapeshifter role, including how often an Impostor can use the ability (or not at all), how long the...
Snoop Dogg Explains How He and Eminem Squashed Their Beef
Snoop Dogg sat down with The Breakfast Club to explain how he and Eminem squashed their 2020 beef, stating that he felt like he “was out of pocket.” “Man, I love Eminem,” Snoop began. “The thing is that we love hip-hop so much. We competitive, we battle rappers — so that was supposed to trigger that in him. But we brothers and we family so we learned to appreciate each other for what we do and how we get down, and we had a long conversation about the respect that we have for each other and the way we need to talk in public about each other.” He added, “I felt like I was out of pocket. I apologized to him and I let him know that I’m just bettering myself. I make mistakes, I ain’t perfect, I’m Snoop Dogg.” Snoop and Em threw jabs at each other in 2020 when the former did not include the Detr...

Mort Sahl, Top Comedian & Host of First Grammy Awards Ceremony, Dies at 94
At a time when comics often traded in tired jokes about their mothers-in-law, Sahl demonstrated that he had read the paper. Mort Sahl, one of the most successful and influential comedians of the 1950s and 1960s, died Tuesday at age 94. On top of many other things, Sahl owns a little piece of Grammy history.

Sahl was al...

It’s all still to play for, as Rüfüs Du Sol’s latest effort Surrender aims high. The Sydney electronic act, now based in Los Angeles, is coming off a career-defining release in 2018’s Solace, which was nominated for two Grammy Awards (for best dance/electronic album and best dance recording) and three ARIA Awards (winning for best dance release) and was voted as the best electronic album of 2018 by Billboard’s Dance.

BLACK SABBATH Drummer BILL WARD Shares Three New Halloween Poems
Founding BLACK SABBATH drummer Bill Ward has shared three new original poems apparently titled “Halloween 2021”, “A Walk Home” and “Cold… And Dark”. Check them out below. Ward has released a number of poems in recent months, some inspired by the coronavirus pandemic and others celebrating the fall–winter holiday season, including Thanksgiving and Christmas. Bill was on board for the SABBATH reunion when it was first announced more than nine years ago, but backed out soon after. The drummer later claimed that he sat out the recording and touring sessions because of unfair contractual terms, although the members of SABBATH have hinted in other interviews that he wasn’t physically up to the task. All four original members of SABBATH were present when ...
TOM MORELLO: ‘The World Is Not Going To Change Itself; That Is Up To You’
In a new interview with Mexico’s WARP Magazine, RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE guitarist Tom Morello was asked for his opinion on the state of the world at the moment. He responded (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “The thing that gives me hope — and there are a lot of challenges before; in the face of the environmental challenges and the political challenges and the racist challenges — but the one message that I will just say over and over again that’s been a theme of all of my bands and all of my interviews is that the world is not going to change itself; that is up to you. And that history is not something that happens; history is something that you make. And whenever the world has changed for the better — in progressive ways, in radical ways — it’s been people no ...
WHITESNAKE’s DAVID COVERDALE: ‘Make No Mistake, This Is My Farewell Tour’
WHITESNAKE frontman David Coverdale, who turned 70 last month, has opened up about his plans to retire from touring after the band’s next batch of concerts around the world. Coverdale discussed his decision to stop performing with WHITESNAKE while appearing on the “Appetite For Distortion” podcast to promote the newly remastered and remixed CD and LP deluxe editions of the “Restless Heart” album. He said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “I planned to retire on the 2020 tour when I was 69. I thought that was the perfect age for the singer of WHITESNAKE to call it a day. But sadly, it was not to be, as we know; other events were in store. So now the t-shirt designs don’t resonate as well for 70. But it’s mind-blowing to me that I’m p...
Bleed The Future – ARCHSPIRE
RATING: 8.5/10 There are occasional golden moments in the life of an extreme metal fan when new music is so ridiculously brutal and over-the-top that the only fitting response is to burst into hysterical laughter. That is not to say that there is anything lightweight or comical about ARCHSPIRE, as anyone that has listened to the Vancouver quintet’s three previous albums will attest. But the music on “Bleed the Future” takes ultra-brutal, technical death metal wizardry to absurd levels of virtuosity and precision, and it’s as infectious as a fit of the giggles. Even in an overpopulated scene where lofty standards of musicianship are generally expected, ARCHSPIRE are an audacious proposition and seemingly so technically gifted that their only real challenge is to keep...
