Blues Singer Lady A Is Unhappy Lady Antebellum Took Her Name
When Lady Antebellum changed their name to Lady A on Thursday, it was met with approval as the country band renounced the slavery-era name. The band said the shortening of the name to Lady A was to acknowledge what their fans had called them. Well, the Grammy-winning country band found themselves in some more trouble. In an interview with Rolling Stone, Seattle-based singer Anita White, who goes by Lady A, wasn’t thrilled with the band’s change. She’s been using the name professionally for “over 20 years.” “Lady A is my brand, I’ve used it for over 20 years, and I’m proud of what I’ve done. This is too much right now. They’re using the name because of a Black Lives Matter incident that, for them, is just a moment in time. If it mattered, it would have mattered to them before. It shouldn’t ...
GWAR’s JiZMak Da Gusha Praises Graffiti on Robert E Lee Statue: ‘This Is Great’
After days after a Change.org petition encouraged the city of Richmond to take down the statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee and replace it with late GWAR singer Oderus Urungus, a member of the band went down to scope things. JiZMak Da Gusha headed down to the site of the statue to check things out. In typical GWAR fashion, Da Gusha had some stuff to stay, mostly praising the work that protestors did to it. “You see this? This is great,” Da Gusha said. “I’m critiquing the artwork and it’s looking pretty great right now!” After an onlooker said, “aren’t you going up there?” Da Gusha reminded folks about the petition going around to get GWAR ride atop of the horse instead of Lee’s place. “I strongly encourage that everyone signs that petition online,” he said. “Fuck that guy.” “Robe...
Enough of the Rumors: Masked Singer RMR Clears the Air
When RMR first popped off in late February — with an eccentric Rascal Flatts rendition complete with “fuck 12″ adlibs, a stitched-up ski mask and a Saint Laurent bullet-proof vest to match — his overnight success almost never made it to the morning. Within days, hours even, the original upload of “Rascal” was removed from YouTube just as quickly as it went viral. RMR (pronounced “rumor”) doesn’t say who exactly was the culprit here who got it taken down or really anything else about his life for that matter. The always-masked singer, who prefers anonymity outside of his inner circle (including his given name), even on a Zoom call. Instead, he gives a shoulder shrug and a cheeky gold-grill-revealing smile. Whoever tried to rid YouTube of “Rascal” and prevent his track f...
Bootsy Collins on James Brown’s Best Piece of Advice and Why Funk Will Always Prevail
Bassmaster Bootsy Collins is known for living his life “on the one.” Looking back on his legacy as an intergalactic, P-Funk pioneer, it’s easy to imagine him on his own planet floating in a galaxy of groove. But you’d be wrong. From his early days playing with James Brown to Parliament-Funkadelic and even his decades-long solo career, Collins always finds a way to attract talented musicians into his orbit. Even in a pandemic, he’s never stopped being Bootsy. With COVID-19 taking lives all over the world, the legendary musician and producer did his part to remind people through his music that even in quarantine we’re still able to come together as one nation under a groove. His latest song, “Stars,” features an eclectic virtual assemblage of virtuosos recording separately for charity to don...

Source: Twitter / Twitter The cops have truly shown their a** during the protests taking place across America these past few weeks but the latest example of why police can be utterly useless at times come from Chicago where Po-9 broke into someone’s office and took a break from the riots while on the clock. NYMag is reporting that a press conference was held in Chicago on Thursday (June 12) where Chicago mayor Lori Lightfoot shared still photos of police officers who apparently broke into the campaign office of Illinois representative Bobby Rush and made themselves at home while a whole riot was engulfing the streets of Chicago right outside. Laying on couches, scrolling on phones, and kicking feet up on furniture, the police caught on tape committing dereliction of duty could not better c...

Azealia Banks’s Icy Prayer, Shamir’s Accidental Quarantine Anthem, And More Songs We Love
A decade ago, Baltimore-raised Naeem was known as Spank Rock, an enthusiastic party rapper whose rhymes found a home on dance floors and music blogs. But the artist, going by his given name of Naeem now, sounds more realized than ever on his new album, Startisha, which features collaborations with Justin Vernon, Francis and the Lights, and more. “Stone Harbor,” a wonderfully glowing club track, finds Naeem reflecting, “Every love I’ve had, I think of you” as he asserts his truest self.
