JOURNEY Singer ARNEL PINEDA Releases ‘This Christmas – A Beacon Of Hope’ To Kick Off Holiday Season
Arnel Pineda, lead singer of Rock And Roll Hall Of Famers JOURNEY, has released “This Christmas – A Beacon Of Hope” to kick off the Christmas season. Arnel is also a philanthropist whose foundation, Arnel Pineda Foundation, Inc. (APFI), is a non-stock, non-profit, and independent Philippine foundation that provides underprivileged children quality education, health services and medical attention. For millions of youth in developing countries like the Philippines, education is seemingly beyond reach. Poverty and inadequate government support stifle the future aspirations of Filipino children. Hence, Arnel Pineda Foundation was formed, principally to address their sad plight by preparing them for a brighter future through education. For Pineda, the story starts the day he s...
TED NUGENT On Athletes Kneeling For National Anthem: ‘They Should Be Ashamed Of Themselves’
Outspoken conservative rocker Ted Nugent has weighed in on professional football players kneeling during the U.S. national anthem to protest against police brutality, saying “they should be ashamed of themselves.” Nugent, who played “The Star-Spangled Banner” at several Donald Trump rallies leading up to this year’s presidential election, discussed the issue of NFL players taking a knee during the anthem in an interview with “America This Week With Eric Bolling”, Sinclair Broadcast Group‘s weekly news program hosted by conservative Fox News alum Eric Bolling. Speaking about how he feels about players who do not stand during the national anthem and who “disrespect the flag” of the United States of America, Ted said (see video below...
WOLFGANG VAN HALEN On His Father EDDIE VAN HALEN: ‘I Think He’s The MOZART Of Our Generation’
In a recent interview with “Entertainment Tonight”, Wolfgang Van Halen was asked what he thinks his father Eddie Van Valen‘s legacy will be. He responded (see video below): “I think he’s the Mozart of our generation. I think the way we look back at people like Mozart and Beethoven, from how far we are removed from them, you put that amount of time ahead of us, and I think people will still be looking back at him.” Wolfgang also commented on the outpouring of love for Eddie in the weeks following his death, saying: “It’s incredible. It’s been such a monumental amount of positivity that I haven’t really seen on the Internet before.” Last month, a City Council meeting was held in Pasadena, California where a memorial honoring E...
The Shadow At The World’s End – REVOLTING
RATING: 8/10 How does ROGGA JOHANSSON find time to eat or take shit? With a dedication to death metal that is entirely unmatched in the modern era, Sweden’s most prolific writer of skull-shattering riffs has had a particularly busy 2020. Happily, “The Shadow At The World’s End” is easily the finest of the nine full-length records he has released this year, although if your enthusiasm for this stuff is sufficiently high, I do urge you to check out albums by BLOODGUT, FURNACE, GHOULHOUSE, HUMANITY DELETE, MEGASCAVENGER, MONSTROUS, REEK and THOSE WHO BRING THE TORTURE, all released within the last 12 months. Like I say, he’s prolific. Some might argue that there isn’t a vast amount of musical space between one ROGGA project or another, but that depends larg...
Firm restates commitment to enhance financial inclusion
Nigeria-based fintech solution, NowNow, has said that it will continue to upgrade its services to attune to current realities, such that will drive economic and social growth. Founder of NowNow, Sahir Berry, while speaking on how COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted the financial space recently, mentioned that Nigeria needs to strengthen its fintech space more than before. Berry stated that it was important for Nigeria to tap into the trends and prospects of fintech given the country’s large unbanked or underbanked. He added the company recognised this gap in Nigeria, which informed its investment in the space. “In 2017 we identified that one of the two big problems in Nigeria was lack of youth empowerment and financial inclusion. With a population of almost 100 million youths, we found that ac...
Looking Back at the Concert That Tried to Save America
Editor’s note: It’s easy to forget now, but in 2004, we were a nation just as divided. George W. Bush was facing a tough reelection campaign against Democratic challenger John Kerry. That year, Bruce Springsteen and others joined forces to barnstorm through swing states on the Vote for Change tour. The tour hit Ohio, Pennsylvania, Florida, North Carolina, Missouri, Wisconsin and Iowa. The tour culminated with the biggest names from the tour performing on Oct. 11 in Washington, D.C. The lineup was star-studded: Springsteen, R.E.M., Pearl Jam, Dave Matthews Band, Bonnie Raitt, Jackson Browne, the Chicks, James Taylor, John Mellencamp, Jurassic 5, Keb’ Mo’ and Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds. The five-and-half hour show culminated with several all-star collaborations. Zaakir aka Soup from Ju...
SPIN 35 How U2’s Concert in War Torn Sarajevo Came About
This past September 23rd was the 23rd Anniversary of one of the most famous and truly meaningful rock concerts ever staged: U2 playing Sarajevo, soon after the end of the war in Bosnia and the hellish three and a half year seige of the city. Since then time has, as it often does, slobbered all over the occasion and preserved it in a larvae of sacchriny, revisionist myth. In reality, the road to that historic night — and it was a great night, and really did change the morale of a country — was anything but simple and sure, and in the beginning the band didn’t want to do it. I know all this because it was entirely my idea.

The Most Influential Artists: #9 Public Enemy
As part of our 35th anniversary, we’re naming the most influential artists of the past 35 years. Today, we’re at #9. From Long Island, New York, here are Public Enemy. CREDIT: Lynn Goldsmith/Corbis/VCG via Getty Images Formed around the nucleus of rappers Chuck D and Flava Flav, production collective the Bomb Squad and others, Public Enemy was conceived as a rap army: militant Black musicians hell-bent on bringing the harsh realities of African-American strife to a mostly unaware audience. Their sample-based sound was as jarring and impactful as Chuck’s megaphone bark was authoritative and Flav’s cartoonish squeal was absurdist — and it strived for a confrontational brio informed by history. (Their contemporaries in N.W.A. approached these matters from slightly different, more misogynistic...
The 35 Greatest Concerts of the Last 35 Years
We know, we know — the best concert of all-time is your friend’s obscure indie-punk band playing a sweaty neighborhood basement back in ‘94. We admit that one slipped through the cracks. Maybe it’s a fool’s errand, but this list is our attempt to narrow down three and a half decades of worthy live music events — legendary festivals, headlining tours from major artists, one-off stage collaborations, multimedia spectacles — into an eclectic and satisfying blend. – Ryan Reed 35. Heilung at Castlefest (8/5/2017) CREDIT: Gonzales Photo/PYMCA/Avalon/Universal Images Group via Getty Images Music-related viral clips tend to be silly and easily digestible, like the dude riding a skateboard to Fleetwood Mac’s “Dreams” while sipping on Ocean Spray. So it’s heartening that Heilung’s debut l...
Vintage Culture and Fancy Inc Deliver Retro Remix of David Guetta and Sia’s “Let’s Love”
David Guetta has spent the majority of 2020 refining his electrifying “future rave” sound with MORTEN. In September, he switched gears to release his wildly popular synthwave single with Sia, “Let’s Love.” Their collaborative effort has now received the remix treatment from Vintage Culture and Fancy Inc. Vintage Culture and Fancy Inc have embodied some of David Guetta and MORTEN’s patented “future rave” sound with their remix of “Let’s Love” all while still managing to inject each of their unique styles into the track. Sia’s unmistakable voice remains untouched as the Brazilian producers have stripped the original tune of its synthwave feel for something more minimalistic. However, their remix still expertly evok...
Excision Announces New Subsidia Compilation Dropping Next Week
Excision has announced the second compilation to be released on his newly minted Subsidia Records banner, Night Volume 2. Fans will remember the grand debut of the record label back in September, commemorated by a gargantuan 118-song release that was split into three themed chapters. Considering the fact that the debut compilation’s “Night” segment was reserved for “Heavy bass tracks,” fans can safely assume that its successor will also concentrate on hard-hitting dubstep music. The record’s list of artists unquestionably confirms that notion, as it features Antiserum, Dubsribe, Downlink, Jeanie, LEV3L, and Excision himself, among many others. Check out Subsidia’s announcement below and pre-save Night Volume 2 here ahead of its December ...
