SnowGlobe Music Festival Cancelled Indefinitely, Enters the Great Beyond
Despite nine years of being “literally and figuratively the chillest festival ever,” South Lake Tahoe’s SnowGlobe Music Festival is now in permanent meltdown. According to SFGate, the local City Council unanimously voted this week to terminate its contract with the annual festival. The event’s 10th anniversary, originally scheduled for 2020, was set to take place December 29-31. For years locals have complained about inordinate noise, bad tipping and leftover debris. In 2018 the Center for Environmental Health even sued the ViacomCBS-owned event for pumping excessive levels of benzene into the air. Still, the festival skated by, managing to renew its city contract for another five years—but only if it moved to a new location. This stipulation turned out t...
A ‘Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild’ Fan Create a Google Maps Experience for Hyrule
A diehard Zelda fan has now created a Google Maps experience for one of the franchise’s most beloved titles in recent years: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

To make things even cooler, you’ll also be able to navigate through the in-game world using pointers exactly like Google Maps’ Street View function, allowing gamers to relive their adventures in Hyrule while waiting for the long-anticipated sequel. For those interested in checking out Hyrule throu...

Aphex Twin’s Sister is Now Minister for Climate Change in Wales
You’ve heard of Aphex Twin, but what about the Aphex sister? Julie James, elder sibling of the electronic music legend born Richard James, has been making a name for herself in politics. After a three-year run as Minister for Housing and Local Government in Wales, she’s now that UK country’s first-ever Minister for Climate Change. James spoke about her life, her goals in office, and her famous brother in an interview with the BBC’s Walescast podcast.
