Bright Eyes’ Conor Oberst and Waxahatchee’s Katie Crutchfield Trade “Songwriting Slump” Tips and Discuss Returning to the Stage
Katie Crutchfield was destined to be a Bright Eyes fan. The singer-songwriter, who performs poignant folk-rock as Waxahatchee, recalls the music of Conor Oberst as a crucial turning point in her upbringing as a self-proclaimed outcast in suburban Alabama: “I feel like Bright Eyes had one of the biggest impacts of any band at the time,” Crutchfield tells Consequence by phone from her Kansas City home. It’s serendipitous that nearly twenty years after she first became enamored with albums like Letting Off the Happiness, Fevers and Mirrors, and Lifted or The Story Is in the Soil, Keep Your Ear to the Ground, Waxahatchee would be pegged to open for the Bright Eyes show, along with Lucy Dacus, at New York’s Forest Hills Stadium on July 31st. (The emo-folk titans played their first show tog...

Joey Jordison‘s SINSAENUM bandmate Frédéric Leclercq has blasted TMZ for sharing the audio of the 911 call placed by the former SLIPKNOT drummer’s ex-girlfriend after she found him dead.

Potential Witnesses of Multimillion Jewel Heist Distracted by Jean-Claude Van Damme
According to reports, Jean-Claude Van Damme inadvertently aided robbers while shopping in Paris. The reports note that two suspects pulled off a jewelry store heist making off with between €2 and €3 million EUR ($2.37 and $3.56 million USD) with no witnesses simply because the Belgian action star was in the vicinity. Potential witnesses at a cafe near the jeweler all told French police that they did not see or hear anything as they were distracted by Van Damme who was trying on frames at an optician across the street. The French police described the heist as a “monumental haul” but were ultimately able to apprehend the two mid-50s and mid-40s suspects on coach bus thanks to CCTV footage. The mayor of the area of Paris where the robbery took place, Jeanne d’Hauteserre, called the heist “min...
