Russian Actress and Producer Dock in Space for 12-Day Cosmic Movie Shoot
A Russian actress and film producer arrived at the International Space Station (ISS) on Tuesday, where they have plans to film the first movie in orbit. Actress Yulia Peresild, 37, and producer Klim Shipenko, 38, joined cosmonaut Anton Shkaplerov, 49, on a Soyuz MS-19 spaceship, which took off from Russia’s Baikonur Cosmodrome in ex-Soviet Kazakhstan. After rounding the Earth twice, the capsule approached the ISS, where Shkaplerov took over the vehicle’s controls to manually dock the spaceship.

Mitski Returns From a Three-Year Absence With ‘Working for the Knife’
After a three-year absence, Mitski is back. She just dropped her newest single “Working for the Knife,” and it’s as strong as you’d expect. [embedded content] “It’s about going from being a kid with a dream, to a grown up with a job,” Mitski said of the song in a statement. “And feeling that somewhere along the way you got left behind. It’s being confronted with a world that doesn’t seem to recognize your humanity, and seeing no way out of it.” Dressed as a classy, leather cowgirl, the synth laden track echoes throughout the empty halls Mitski dances between. Stripped down to a nod to the cover of Blink 182’s Enema of the State—bearing long blue latex gloves, red lace bra, and bright blue eye shadow—an empty audience applauds as she freely jumps, sways, and bobs on stage. Huffing and puffi...
Al Jourgensen Looks Forward to a Spring Tour, America’s Continued Political Awakening—And the End of Ministry
Between massive creative highs and cold hard realities, it’s hard to believe Al Jourgensen hasn’t jumped out of his densely inked and pierced skin. In his 40th year as chairman of industrial-rock progenitors Ministry, “Uncle Al” is probing both sides of his yin-yang harder than ever. The light: Ministry’s politically bracing and sonically engaging new album, Moral Hygiene, was recorded under strict pandemic protocols in Jourgensen’s home studio in Southern California. These sessions also yielded material that could herald the return of Lard, his summit meeting with punk provocateur Jello Biafra, as well as the majority of a follow-up LP which the frontman describes pretense-and-irony-free as “the best music I have ever made in my life.” The dark? The tour celebrating the 30th anniversary o...
MICK And Chi Duly Blend Jay-Z’s ‘Blueprint’ Beats And Beyoncé’s Vocals On ‘B-Print’ Mixtape
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Noam Galai / Getty One of the culture’s best curators is leaving the mixtape game with a bang. MICK has partnered with Chi Duly on a project that merges Jay-Z’s The Blueprint beats to Beyoncé’s vocals. As spotted on Complex the acclaimed DJ has put his golden touch on some of the royal couple’s most iconic cuts. The B-Print features the iconic instrumentals from The Blueprint album and pairs it with B’s acapellas. While the two could have easily stuck to the traditional method of blending both elements together but clearly this effort is an elevated project on all angles. MICK, formerly Mick Boogie, detailed the approach in a press release. “Recently, I was blasting Jay-Z’s The Blueprint in honor of its 20th anniversary. My fiancé...
Peep The Trailer to HBO’s ‘Game of Thrones’ Spinoff ‘House of The Dragon’
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Ollie Upton / HBO The last season of Game of Thrones left much to be desired as the half-assed writing and unsatisfying ending left fans demanding they reshoot the entire final season to correct the many wrongs.

Set two hundred years before the events of Game of Thrones, House of The Dragon will explore the reign of the Targaryen bloodline and promises to feature many dragons and all kinds of sword fights. Boasting an impressive cast including the likes of Paddy Considine, Matt Smith, and Sonoya Mizuno, the...

HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: KIRILL KUDRYAVTSEV / Getty The world found out what life would be like if Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp didn’t exist for a few hours.
