“Mutant Vehicles” Sell for Tens of Thousands At Burning Man Auction
A collection of “mutant vehicles” straight from the Burning Man ecosystem has sold at Sotheby’s for tens of thousands. The vehicles were part of a broader charitable sale titled “Boundless Space: The Possibilities of Burning Man.” The auction, touted as a pivotal initiative to help keep Burning Man financially afloat for the immediate future, saw three vehicles in particular fetch frothy sums between $24,000 and $40,000 each. “A Mutant Vehicle is a unique, motorized creation that either shows little or no resemblance to their original form, or to any standard street vehicle,” explains Burning Man’s website.

New Study Explores Healing Qualities of Electronic Music
Does electronic music have certain “healing” qualities for those suffering from acute aches and pains? That was a question the team at Nurofen, a developer of over-the-counter, fast-acting pain relief medications, set out to answer. The company commissioned Dr. Claire Howlin, a psychology researcher at the University College Dublin, to analyze the relationship between music and pain relief. While Howlin had the blueprint for a track that she believed might assist in delivering natural pain relief for patients suffering from headaches, backaches, and other acute ailments, she needed a music producer to execute on the vision. Enter Anatole, a classically trained musician who had the talent to bring the resulting work, “All Of Us,” to life.&n...
Nicki Minaj Goes After Little Mix Amid Blackfishing Backlash Against Jesy Nelson
Nicki Minaj made it loud and clear that she stands by Jesy Nelson after she’s faced accusations of Blackfishing. The accusations of Blackfishing — levied against non-Black influencers and celebrities when they alter their appearances to look Black when they’re not — against Nelson arose following her hip-hop-leaning debut solo single “Boyz,” featuring Minaj, and its accompanying music video, which features her spray tan, multiple wigs, fuller lips and what some have called a “Blaccent” when she sings, “So ‘hood, so good, so damn taboo.” Nelson — a white British woman who left Little Mix, one of the best-selling U.K. girl groups, in December 2020 after nearly a decade, citing mental health reasons — rece...
Halsey Talks Body Image After Giving Birth: ‘I Will Never Have My Pre-Baby Body Back’
She continued, “The first picture on this slide is days after my baby was already born. A lot of people don’t know that you still look pregnant for a while after. It is still changing and I am letting it. I have no interest in working out right now. I’m too tired and too busy playing with my darling son. With that being said, the body behind all those compliments the other night was wearing a custom tailored outfit and lighted perfectly after much testing, so I could feel good and do my job. I do not want to feed the Illusion that you’re meant to feel and look ‘great’ immediately postpartum. That is not my narrative currently.” The singer then addressed followers who might be parents in their message, saying that she plans to support them along their parenthood jour...
