This Friday, September 17th, Adia Victoria returns with her third studio album, A Southern Gothic. Just ahead of its release, the singer-songwriter has shared another snippet of the album with the single “You Was Born to Die.” It’s her take on the Ernest B. McTell classic, and it features guests Margo Price, Jason Isbell, and Kyshona. “You Was Born to Die” is a dark, rootsy slow-burner that erupts into a ferocious cacophony of screeching guitars and searing vocals. “Last year the lessons I have learned on my walk in the blues — the business of love, lies, loss and spectacular death — surrounded my every waking thought like armor,” Victoria wrote in a statement. “In a society that attempts so suppress death into the unspoken, the blues has allowed me to death in dance’s face ...
Scientists Honor Gojira by Naming Three Fossils After the Metal Band
Gojira have always been an environmentally conscious band, and now scientists have honored the French metal act by naming three newly discovered fossils after them. The brittle star fossils were found in France, Luxembourg, and Austria on what was once the bed of the Jurassic Tethys Ocean. Each of the new species were named after the members of Gojira: Ophiogojira labadiei honoring bassist Jean-Michel Labadie; Ophiogojira andreui for lead guitarist Christian Andreu; and Ophioduplantiera noctiluca for both Joe and Mario Duplantier. Scientists Lea Numberger and Ben Thuy from Luxembourg’s Natural History Museum and biologist Tania Pineda from the Florida Museum of Natural History were behind the fossils’ discovery and naming.

HBO Chief Content Officer Addresses ‘Lovecraft Country’ Cancellation
HBO Chief Content Officer Casey Bloys has addressed the cancellation of Lovecraft Country in a new interview. Speaking to Variety, Bloys vaguely touched on the reason why the 18-time Emmy-nominated series was not renewed for a second season.“ When you make the decision to not go forward with a show, it’s usually a confluence of factors,” he said. “And that was the case here. It has to be something we think makes sense for us. In this case, we couldn’t get there…” He added, “I don’t think it would be fair to point at any one particular thing. I think that the work Misha [Green] did, and the recognition that it got, this doesn’t change any of that.” When HBO announced that it would not be pursuing a second season for Lovecraft Country, Green took to social media to share what could have been...
Twitter Reacts to Kim Jong-Un’s Weight Loss Transformation
After staying out of sight from the public since May, North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un has returned to shock spectators at a recent military parade in Pyongyang. Many could not tell it was even him as he appeared much thinner, darker, and sported a new haircut. Looking like a different person, it was reported that the 37-year-old Kim Jong-Un lost close to 45 pounds over the course of several months after past complications with his health. Now, the internet is reacting to the body transformation as well as some questionable headlines about the Supreme Leader of North Korea. If I’m not mistaken about the timeline, Kim Jong Un and Donald Trump fell in love in 2018, broke up in 2020, and now in 2021 this is his revenge body. https://t.co/0LqAXugQWq — Adam Liaw (@adamliaw) September 10, 2021 Th...

MARILYN MANSON’s Lawyer Claims Videographer Consented To Bodily Fluid Exposure
According to the Associated Press, an attorney for Marilyn Manson claims that a videographer who has accused the singer of spitting and blowing his nose on her during a concert in New Hampshire consented to being exposed to bodily fluids. “The defendant’s performance for the past twenty years are well known to include shocking and evocative antics similar to those that occurred here,” Manson‘s attorney Kent Barker wrote in court documents. “The alleged victim consented to exposing herself to potential contact with sweat, saliva and phlegm in close quarters.” The attorney also insisted that Manson‘s actions were unintentional.
