What is: another scandal for $1000? Mike Richards, the newly-named Jeopardy! host set to replace the late, great Alex Trebek, is facing a new round of backlash over his past comments about women. According to reporting by The Ringer, the comments in question stem from Richards’ own podcast, The Randumb Show, which he hosted from 2013 to 2014 while working as an executive producer on The Price is Right. The TV executive is heard in one particular episode referring to his co-host and former assistant Beth Triffon as a “booth hoe,” “booth slut,” and “boothstitute” during a discussion of her past work as a CES model. In another, he lambasts a photo of his co-host and her female friends, calling them “really frumpy and overweight” and saying, “They all look terrible in the picture…They look fat...

Rush Announce Canadian Golden Ale Beer, Share Fun Promo Clip with Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson: Watch
Rush are getting into the beer business. The legendary prog-rock band has announced Rush Canadian Golden Ale, in collaboration with Toronto’s Henderson Brewery. The genesis of the beer started when Geddy Lee was handed an Iron Maiden Trooper Ale after a Rush concert during their R40 tour. The singer-bassist jokingly wondered aloud why Rush didn’t have their own beer. From there, the wheels were set in motion, leading to the partnership with Henderson Brewery. Guitarist Alex Lifeson, who has been dubbed the band’s “Beer Scientist,” stated, “Rush Canadian Golden Ale is golden in color with a dense ivory head. It has an earthy aroma with hints of orange-peel, pine and spicy rye. While the emphasis is on refreshment, there are elements of pine, rye spice and a citric hop flavor that add to the...

SixTONES’ ‘Mascara’ Hits No. 1 on Japan Hot 100 With Half-Million CDs Sold
YOASOBI’s new single “Love Letter” debuts at No. 4. The track was produced for a project hosted by a TOKYO FM radio program that called for letters to be submitted for the breakout duo to consider basing a new song on. The letter that was chosen from among the numerous submissions from around the country was written by a then-sixth-grader named Hatsunesan, who wrote about their gratitude toward music. “Love Letter,” the song based on Hatsunesan’s letter, scored 31,392 first-week downloads to hit No. 1 for the metric, which fueled its launch at No. 4 on the chart. This song’s debut edged the duo’s “Sangenshoku” out to No. 11, but they still maintain three songs in the top 10, as do BTS (“Permission to Dance,” “Butter,” “Dynamite”). The Billboard Japan Hot 100 combines physical and digital s...

Deafheaven Know Themselves Better Than Anyone Else on Infinite Granite
Deafheaven vocalist George Clarke was able to live a pandemic dream: He managed to get out of the States safely. His partner, a musician from New Zealand, was able to work and play shows over there; after completing Deafheaven’s latest record, Infinite Granite, Clarke was able to get a visa and spent January through late April of this year in the country. Though it took him a couple days to avoid sidestepping people as he often had to in Deafheaven’s home base of Los Angeles, he felt immensely grateful to see music (especially at a time when summer shows in the States seemed dicey) and be amongst people again. It did, however, feel like an alternate reality to some degree. “My experience was great, but it was interesting how, even though it was all over the news and people were very ...
