Elon Musk Introduced Tesla’s New AI Robot With a Human Awkwardly Dancing to EDM in Tights
On August 19th Tesla hosted “AI Day,” which came with a spate of details about the company’s innovative technology for their vehicles—and an AI robot. Dubbed Tesla Bot, its purpose will be to eliminate tasks that are considered “dangerous, repetitive and boring” such as using a wrench to fix a car part, according to CEO Elon Musk. The technology behind Tesla Bot is reportedly derived from the same mechanics powering its vehicles. “It makes sense to put that onto humanoid form,” Musk said. “This, I think, will be quite profound. Essentially, in the future, physical work will be a choice. If you want to do it, you can, but you won’t need to do it.” Elon Musk. Dan Taylor/Heisenberg Media Tesla Bot was announ...
Dark Mark vs. Skeleton Joe (Mark Lanegan & Joe Cardamone) Announce Debut Album, Share “No Justice”: Stream
Mark Lanegan and The Icarus Line‘s Joe Cardamone have announced the eponymous debut album for their recording project Dark Mark vs. Skeleton Joe. They’ve also shared the song “No Justice” ahead of the LP’s October 15th release date. The song presents a pulsing electronic sound paired with Lanegan’s imitably deep vocal delivery. Minimal dancefloor beats and synthesizers percolate beneath the grunge veteran’s mix of spoken word and singing. Dark Mark lives up to his moniker during the chorus: “Ain’t no justice here, ain’t no justice there / Nobody sees, nobody cares.” According to the album’s press announcement, the project was born out of Lanegan and Cardamone’s mutual respect for one another as artists. They also needed a creative outlet where they could go outside their typical genres and...
In Candyman, Art, Violence and Real-Life Horrors Coalesce: Review
The Pitch: Set in modern day Chicago, Candyman, the “remake” of the iconic 1992 film of the same name, turns out not to be a remake at all. Directed by Nia DaCosta, it’s more of an addition to the series’ original story (which itself is based on a short story from Clive Barker entitled “The Forbidden”), than it is a retelling of Bernard Rose’s cult classic. 1992’s Candyman is widely regarded as a staple in the horror genre. It’s told from the scope of Helen Lyle, a graduate student who travels to Chicago’s storied Cabrini-Green projects in order to co-write a thesis focusing urban legends and folklore. When she goes further into her research, she eventually learns of the city’s most intriguing urban legend, Candyman. As her obsession with the story increases, it forces Lyle on a path of se...

There’s so much I really don’t understand, like: how the impeccable idea of ‘Let’s all be kind to people’ has been developed in some cases ad absurdum,” Cleese said in a statement.

R Kelly Keeps Asking People to Buy His Song Catalog But No One Wants It: Report
Before R Kelly was accused of being a serial sexual predator, he was known as the singer behind such hit songs as “Ignition (Remix),” “I Believe I Can Fly,” and “Bump N’ Grind.” Kelly isn’t making much money on that music these days — see: serial sexual predator — and in the desperate spirit of “sell low,” he’s now trying to pawn off his music catalog on anyone who’ll have it. The problem, as Billboard reports, is that nobody will have it. Having resided in a jail cell since 2019, Kelly is facing a crisis of cash. “His funds are depleted,” his lawyer Devereaux Cannick said earlier this month. And though his catalog continues to generate something like $1.7 million per year in the US, according to a Billboard estimate, next to nothing trickles down to Kelly. Because whil...

In a new interview with Higgo of “Distortion”, which airs on Australia’s Triple M Hard N Heavy Radio, MINISTRY mainman Al Jourgensen spoke about how the Donald Trump presidency inspired some of the lyrics on the band’s upcoming album, “Moral Hygiene”, as well as its predecessor, 2018’s “AmeriKKKant”. He said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “I just hold a mirror up, and I would be remiss not [to include him on the record]. Everyone’s going, ‘He’s not in the office anymore. Why do you have to still make fun of him?’ Well, no, that’s what I lived through for four years. As a matter of fact, I had to really restrain myself on both the last album and this album on not having him in every song, showin...

During an appearance on a recent episode of “The Jasta Show”, hosted by HATEBREED frontman Jamey Jasta, TESTAMENT singer Chuck Billy lamented the fact that his band has yet to do a proper tour with METALLICA even though the two groups have known each other for more than three decades. “Whenever I’m asked, ‘What is the one band you wish you can play with?’, it’s always METALLICA,” Chuck said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET. “It’s, like, we grew up with these guys [in] the same era, but we never went on tour [with them]. I think a few years ago, we did three shows in Germany [with them] on a festival. It was funny, ’cause our band walked in and their band was walking, and we all kind of met in this hallway. And [we were], ...
