Dubstep Meets Rock in RIOT’s Blistering Single “Jackknife”
Welcome Records is quickly emerging as one of the most coveted tastemakers in bass music. With Kayzo at the helm, the imprint has demonstrated a unique ability to unearth trailblazing music in the dubstep and trap spheres, as well as their many sub-genres. Barnstorming bass music duo RIOT recently arrived on the Welcome Records banner with “Jackknife,” a blistering dubstep and rock hybrid that that is—for lack of a better term—not for the faint of heart. Back in November 2019, we were fortunate enough to chat with the rising tandem, who said they were “excited to let the listeners into [their] brains.” If “Jackknife” is any indication, the mind of RIOT is something to marvel at considering the track’s masterful genre-blending. Both W...

Yusuf / Cat Stevens Re-Records Tea for the Tillerman in Celebration of Its 50th Anniversary
This year marks the 50th anniversary of Yusuf / Cat Stevens’ classic album Tea for the Tillerman. To celebrate, he’s re-recorded the album in full. Fittingly titled Tea for the Tillerman², this new version is due out September 18th. All 11 original Tea for the Tillerman songs appear on this forthcoming update, including fan favorites like “Where Do the Children Play?”, “Hard Headed Woman”, and “Father and Son”. While Yusuf sought to retain the spirit of these 1970-era tracks, many of them — such as “Wild World” and “Longer Boats” — were given surprising makeovers; the latter cut, for instance, features rapper Brother Ali. In an interview with Apple Music, Yusuf said he wanted to re-work the album to better reflect how he feels in 2020. He explained, “The truth is I sat down with ...
Thom Yorke Shares Playlist of His First Sonos Radio Mix: Stream
Those who are looking for something a little more mellow than music livestreams and drive-in concerts will be pleased to know Radiohead’s singer has got your back. Thom Yorke has shared a playlist of the songs he played on his first Sonos Radio mix. Stream it below via Apple Music and Spotify. As previously announced, Yorke is curating his own 24-hour station on Sonos called “In the Absence Thereof”, a sampling of which has made it onto this new playlist, aptly titled “In the Absence Thereof…v1″. The music spans the full genre spectrum, with the common theme being that it’s an “ever-rolling compilation” with material “that fascinates or moves” him. Earlier this morning, Yorke shared the playlist on Twitter, writing, “Thought you may be interested in the tracks that made up my first Sonos r...
Judas Priest’s Rob Halford to Release Tell-All Autobiography Confess in September
Judas Priest Rob Halford, photo by Steven J. Messina Judas Priest singer Rob Halford will “expose every facet” of himself in an upcoming autobiography, titled Confess. A September 29th release date has just been announced for the book. The metal legend revealed that he was working on the book last year. In an initial press release, he promised he wouldn’t hold anything back. “Confess is a unique once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for me to expose every facet of myself,” stated Halford. “Digging deep with nothing to hide and nothing to fear was in many ways exciting, fun, disturbing, terrifying and cathartic. I’ve held nothing back. It’s time for me to ‘confess.’” The book will span Halford’s entire life and career, including his decision to publicly come out as gay in 1998. Among the other top...
Lord of the Rings Cast to Reunite for YouTube Livestream
Everybody is keeping in touch with old friends these days. As it turns out, so are some fellas from Middle Earth. This Sunday, the cast of The Lord of the Rings will reunite for a special livestream — because apparently Gollum’s nonstop reading of The Hobbit was only the beginning. The epic reunion is the latest installment in Josh Gad’s ongoing series “Reunited Apart”, which has already brought together the cast of The Goonies and Back to the Future during this period of self-isolation. In a teaser clip, Gad geeks out to Astin in an attempt to bring The Lord of the Rings family back together. “I was wondering what you might think about tracking down a certain group of buddies, comrades, pals,” says Gad. “Oh, what’s another word for it? Fellowship?” Astin protests, but event...
Grimes Will Sell a Piece of Her Soul at Upcoming Art Exhibit
Having released a new album and given birth a new child (with Tesla founder/rapper Elon Musk as the father), it’s safe to say that 2020 is a year that Grimes won’t forget. Now, you can get in on the action too. The musician known as Claire Boucher is the subject of an online art exhibit called Selling Out and of all of the interesting items to snag, one is literally a piece of her soul. If you’re interested, the pricing for it is “best offer.” According to Bloomberg, other pieces will be assorted prints, photos and concept art like anime that she’s accumulated over the past decade. “I didn’t want anyone to buy it, so I said we should just make it $10 million and then it probably won’t sell,” she said. “Also, I really wanted to collaborate with my lawyer on art. The idea of fantas...
George Floyd Used To Be Down With DJ Screw, Was A Rapper In The 90’s
Source: George Floyd / Courtesy of Roxie Washington The horrific murder of George Floyd at the hands (or knees) of Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin earlier this week has understandably spurred all kinds of protests on both the streets of The Mill City as well as social media. Now that reporters continue to get deeper into the lives of both Floyd and Chauvin, the more Floyd comes off as the everyday law abiding citizen just living his life while Derek “MAGA” Chauvin’s history of use-of-force complaints raises more questions as to why he was never disciplined by the Minneapolis Police Department. Now Vulture is reporting that George Floyd was actually doing his thing-thing on the Hip-Hop scene with non other than the legendary DJ Screw. According to the piece, the 46-year-old se...
