The Joker’s Real Name Revealed as Jack White, Other Jack White Responds
For all the havoc he wreaks on Gotham, there’s still a lot we don’t know about the Joker. DC’s comic book series Flashpoint Beyond has divulged some crucial info, however, finally unveiling his very familiar-sounding name: Jack White. In issue #5 of Flashpoint Beyond — a sequel to 2011’s DC-universe-altering Flashpoint — Bruce Wayne’s father, Thomas Wayne (this universe’s Batman), heads to Arkham Asylum to meet with his estranged, incarcerated wife Martha (this universe’s Joker). Martha tells Thomas that she forced Psycho-Pirate, a villain notable for having extensive knowledge of the multiverse, to reveal everything he knew about the main DC Universe timeline, including the Joker’s real name — which, of course, he shares with the former White Stripes frontman. Tha...
The Cult Detail New Album Under the Midnight Sun, Share “A Cut Inside”: Stream
The Cult have unveiled their latest single, “A Cut Inside,” and the full tracklist from their upcoming 11th album, Under the Midnight Sun. Sharp distortion slashes open “A Cut Inside” to reveal the song’s scorned underbelly, in which frontman Ian Astbury rebukes a deceitful higher power by singing, “We will never be/ Caught in your belief/ Get up off your knees.” The track then bursts like a revelation as the chorus testifies to a harsh, but more honest, reality: “No heathens in Heaven/ No sweet surrender/ Outsiders forever/ The ghost of our lives.” “A Cut Inside” is paired with a fiery visualizer directed by frequent collaborator Juan Azulay, in which a swirling collage of cool blues and purples obscure the band until seething lava flows erupt and cover the palette with violent reds, fire...
“I Started Crying”: Stewart Copeland Talks Witnessing Shane Hawkins Perform “My Hero” at Taylor Hawkins Tribute Concert
Foo Fighters’ Taylor Hawkins Tribute Concert was a heavy affair, and not even seasoned professional Stewart Copeland was immune to getting emotional.

He’s got such power, enthusiasm. He’s got his father’s stance, musical language. That was really emotional to see young Shane up there.” Watch the full clip below. 16-year-old Shane Hawkins joined Foo Fighters for the penultimate song of the six-hour evening, playing drums for the classic “My Hero.” The circumstances alone made it an incredible — if not difficult to watc...

Robbie Williams: Instead of Speaking, Damon Albarn Should “Remove a Few Ribs and Give Himself a Nosh”
Let it be known that Robbie Williams stands with Taylor Swift. The former Take That singer has slammed “twat” Damon Albarn for falsely claiming that Swift “doesn’t write her own songs” back in January. “I think that when people say [other musicians don’t write their own songs], what they’re actually doing is having a wank about themselves,” Williams said in a new feature with NME. “It’s true! You know, it’s like, why don’t you cut the middle man out — just get a few ribs removed and give yourself a nosh, you twat!” The pop star went on: “Because all you’re doing is going, ‘Hey, I’m fucking amazing!’ Nothing good comes from it in any way, other than it’s a sort of dopamine hit for themselves, going, ‘Do you know – I’m a real one.’ OK. Good for you. Fuck off.” Advertisement Related Vide...

“Tears in My Fucking Eyes”: Trent Reznor Praises Tribute to “Really Sweet Guy” Taylor Hawkins
Trent Reznor didn’t attend Foo Fighters’ Taylor Hawkins Tribute Concert, but like the rest of us, he was moved by the event from afar. The artist discussed watching the concert at a recent Nine Inch Nails show, praising the tribute as “very touching and sincere.” Nine Inch Nails performed at the Red Rocks Amphitheater on September 3rd, the same day the Taylor Hawkins tribute occupied London’s Wembley Stadium. During NIN’s show, Reznor asked the crowd, “Did any of you happen to catch the tribute to Taylor Hawkins today? I thought, ‘I’ll tune in, I knew Taylor. He was a really sweet guy.’ I know a lot of friends were playing, I started watching it, and three hours later I’m still watching. And I’ve got tears in my fucking eyes.” Reznor continued: “It got me thinking. If you haven’t seen...
