HAIM Share Paul Thomas Anderson-Directed Video for New Song “Lost Track”: Stream
We know this might come as a complete and utter shock, but HAIM have once again teamed up with Paul Thomas Anderson. This time, the Licorice Pizza director has helmed the music video for the indie pop band’s new song, “Lost Track.” Like Licorice Pizza, the “Lost Track” music video takes place in the San Fernando Valley of yesteryear. But while the coming-of-age drama was set in the ’70s, this clip imagines Este, Danielle, and Alana Haim as members of a preppy and posh ladies society in the ’50s. Shot on location in Southern California as part of HAIM’s recent cover shoot with W Magazine, the video looks just as good as it sounds. Sonically, “Lost Track” might feel as carefree as a day at the country club, but its lyrics center around melancholia. “I’ll never get back what I ...
Marvel’s Netflix Series Coming to Disney+ Under New Parental Controls
When news broke in February that Netflix’s live-action Marvel series would be moving to Disney+, one major concern was how the House of Mouse would handle the decidedly non-PG content of The Defenders franchise. Today (March 1st) Disney has answered that question by announcing a new update to parental controls that will go into effect when the shows hit the streamer on March 16th. When subscribers open Disney+ for the first time on or after March 16th, they will be offered the granular ability to select content ratings restrictions and create a PIN for each profile. According to a press release, any profile without the parental controls in place “will continue to enjoy Disney+ as they always have within a TV-14 content rating environment.” IMDb lists Daredevil, Jessica Jones...
Watch JUDAS PRIEST Rehearse For U.S. Tour
Rob Halford has shared a short video of JUDAS PRIEST rehearsing for its upcoming U.S. tour.

Two days earlier, JUDAS PRIEST‘s Richie Faulkner, who underwent a life-saving surgery five months ago after the band’s performance at the Louder Than Life festival, posted a photo of three of his guitars leaning against an amp, and he included the following message: “And we’re back!! PRIEST rehearsals 2022!! Feels so good to be back after so much has happened. Having these US dates has really given me something to aim ...

Steven Seagal Is Not Fighting in Ukraine, Despite What Joe Rogan Says
In the spirit of Post First, Ask Questions Later, Joe Rogan shared an image of a purported CNN article that showed actor Steven Seagal fighting with Russian Special Forces against Ukraine. After a couple of hours and more than a little mockery Rogan deleted the post, admitting that he’d fallen for a photoshop. The easily avoidable flub began with Rogan posting an image of an article, rather than a link to an article, which is usually a red flag on social media. Besides that, the run-on sentence in the impersonation would have been thrown out of any reputable English 101 class: “Intelligence agencies around the world have spotted American actor Steven Seagal among Russian special forces positioned around the outskirts of Gostomel airfield near Kyiv captured by Russian airborne troops,” it r...

Eddie Vedder Talks “Serious” Bout with COVID-19: “I Saw My Life Flash in Front of My Eyes”
Eddie Vedder came down with COVID-19 earlier this year, and as he explained during his concert in Los Angeles on February 25th, his bout with the novel coronavirus was “pretty serious.” Fan footage captured Vedder addressing the crowd at the YouTube Theater. “I got the COVID right before we were supposed to start practicing, probably five or six weeks ago, and I literally saw my life flash in front of my eyes,” he said. He went on to explain that he’d “done some very good things for my body and I’ve also had a lot of fun, and I’ve done some things that would be termed some kind of abuse,” he laughed. “I won’t get into the details. Just use your imagination.” He added, “It felt pretty serious. To get through that and be back in a room like this facing this many people… It’s been a gift...
