SAGA Releases ‘Tired World’ Single From ‘Symmetry’ Album
Canadian progressive rockers SAGA will release a new studio album, “Symmetry”, on March 12, 2021 via earMUSIC. After going on tour in spring 2020, SAGA went straight into its home studios. The result: an album full of acoustic originals. “Symmetry” offers a unique listening experience by bundling complex and delicate arrangements with familiar melodies and sounds. It gives the listener the possibility to explore and discover SAGA classics like “Wind Him Up”, “Say Goodbye To Hollywood” and “Tired World” once more and in a completely new way. SAGA managed to create more than just new versions of their songs; they created a sonic world full of little details that invites the listeners to dive deeper into the complex musical phenomeno...
Viva El Camino – MOLLO RILLA
RATING: 8/10 One of stranger phenomena of recent times has been the ongoing popularity of incredibly boring hard rock bands. No need to name names: you either know what I mean, or you actually quite like NICKELBACK. That’s fine. But for those of us who would rather be strangled with our own intestines than ever hear Scott Stapp‘s voice again, there are numerous exciting and, dare I say it, original alternatives on offer. For example, MOLLO RILLA would be an invigorating shot in the arm in any year, but given current circumstances, the Ohio quartet’s second full-length feels like a gift from the alt-rock gods. Superficially, you will hear all manner of nods to FAITH NO MORE, SYSTEM OF A DOWN, QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE and other seminal eccentrics in these songs. But “V...
TRIVIUM’s MATT HEAFY Teams Up With Content Creator JARED DINES On ‘Dines X Heafy’ EP
Modern guitar virtuoso/content creator Jared Dines and Grammy Award-nominated TRIVIUM frontman Matt Heafy have joined forces for the groundbreaking “Dines X Heafy” EP. Bridging the gap between online content creators and recording artists, the five-song EP is available today on all streaming platforms as well as on Soundtrack By Twitch, giving Twitch streamers a way to add licensed music from the EP to their Twitch live streams during a 30-day period. “Matt was pre-Internet in the way he launched his career, releasing records, playing shows, and signing to a label,” observes Dines. “I’m post-Internet in the way I launched my career by using YouTube, Facebook and all of these other video apps. It is interesting to see the crossover, though. Matt has done ...

Here Are the Lyrics to Saweetie’s ‘Back to the Streets,’ Feat. Jhené Aiko
Saweetie and Jhené Aiko send their men “Back to the Streets” on their hit single, and now it’s back on the Billboard Hot 100 this week (dated Dec. 5). One of her Instagram Live comments while promoting the song (and gushing over her boyfriend Quavo‘s designer gift to her) caught the internet’s attention when she said, “If he not getting you a Birkin, if he not paying for your bills, then throw that n—a back to the streets, OK?” Critics were quick to call her out for prioritizing material goods over genuine human connection when it comes to a relationship. But she cleared the air during a Power 106 Los Angeles interview. “I feel like a Birkin symbolizes a gift of value. But what comes along with being valued? It comes...

Sorry, ‘SNL’: Variety Talk & Sketch Series Will Now Compete in One Emmys Category
“Saturday Night Live” has won outstanding variety sketch series the last four years running, but now it will be up against talk shows too, like five-time winner “Last Week Tonight With John Oliver.” The Television Academy announced its rule changes for the upcoming 73rd Emmy Awards competition on Friday (Dec. 4) — and fans of NBC’s Saturday Night Live may not like the first one. Separate awards for variety talk and variety sketch series have been recombined into one category: outstanding variety series. Saturday Night Live has won outstanding variety sketch series the last four years running. It was nominated the two years before that, but lost, in turn, to Inside Amy Schumer and Key & Peele. By contrast, between 1976 and 2014, when SNL had to compete with...

JoJo Siwa is the latest celebrity to share her experience with coronavirus. “I did end up getting it, the big, dreaded COVID-19. It got through my whole family,” the 17-year-old told ET, noting that thankfully, symptoms were mild. “We had headaches, we were tired, we had shortness of breath, we had all the things. All my family actually lost their taste and smell, but all have it back. But I never did.” She added that her brother and parents tested positive before she contracted the virus. “Everyone who gets this virus, it’s gonna affect them differently,” she said. “We were all, like, three days apart.” You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.

Kamaiyah Announces New Project No Explanations, Shares “Still I Rise”: Stream
Kamaiyah rang in 2020 with a project called Got It Made. Now, she’s looking to close out the year the same way: the Oakland rapper has announced a new effort, No Explanations, due out later this month. Spanning 11 tracks, No Explanations is actually Kamaiyah’s third (!) collection of the year following the aforementioned Got It Made and September’s Oakland Nights, a collaborative mixtape with fellow Bay Area talent Capolow. As the project makes readily apparent, Kamaiyah isn’t answering to anyone, nor is she letting anything — even the nightmare that is the pandemic — hold back her prolificness. The Oakland MC makes this message crystal clear on “Still I Rise” featuring Jackboy, the lead single off No Explanations. In a statement, Kamaiyah said that the track “is about how we’re all f...
Black Panther’s Letitia Wright Promotes Anti-Vax Conspiracy Theories on Twitter
Letitia Wright, star of Black Panther and Steve McQueen’s Mangrove, is facing a backlash after promoting anti-vaccination conspiracy theories on Twitter. On Thursday night, as The Hollywood Reporter, The Wrap, and others have documented, the Guyanese-British actress posted a 70-minute video with the all-caps title “COVID-19 VACCINE, SHOULD WE TAKE IT?” The author, Tomi Arayomi, is a self-described “Prophet” whose content spans Christianity, human rights, and conspiracy theories. “I don’t understand vaccines medically but I’ve always been a little bit of a skeptic of them,” he says towards the beginning of the rambling, fact-free video. Arayomi goes on to explain how RFID chips could be implanted through vaccines, name checks Bill Gates, George Soros, and The Great Reset, and...
Ranking: Every David Fincher Movie from Worst to Best
Mank, the latest from director David Fincher, is yet another feat by a filmmaker who has notched a few of them. He’s in that holy trinity of modern directors right alongside P.T. Anderson and Christopher Nolan — auteurs whose films are so defiantly theirs. Fincher would be the first to tell you that his career started off disastrously (read on for info on the Alien 3 production), so who could have anticipated all of the success that would follow both critically and financially? Not only did our film staff agree on a ranking of Fincher’s 11 films, we went ahead and dissected each movie, as well. The director’s career is full of highlights, curiosities, and a small serving of disasters. However, all of his films remain interesting in their own ways. We hope you’ll dive into the 8,000+ words ...
