Wednesday: Everything To Know About Netflix’s Upcoming Horror Comedy Series
The Addams Family was first conceived in 1938, with the characters appearing in a series of 150 single-panel cartoons by American cartoonist Charles Addams. Since then, the satirical 20th-century American family has become a staple of American pop culture, appearing in different adaptations from television series, comics, animations, and films. No matter the era, it seems that audiences can’t get enough of the family’s eccentric and macabre style, the wild and mundane bodily harm inflicted upon each other, and the close-knit relationships that flourish in the ghoulish chaos. What keeps audiences coming back for more are the characters, especially the only daughter of the family, Wednesday Addams. Wednesday Addams encapsulates the dour and moody angst young crowds feel about the world, all ...
Devin Townsend Shares Video for Mellow New Song “Call of the Void”: Stream
Devin Townsend has shared “Call of the Void,” the second single from this forthcoming new album, Lightwork, arriving October 28th. Considering Townsend’s prog metal background and the new song’s eerie title, “Call of the Void” is a surprisingly mellow six-minute journey. The lush guitars and calming instrumentation follow the laid back tone of lead single “Moonpeople,” as the singer-guitarist dials back the more adventurous prog elements found on his previous albums. “The concept of the song is based around the ‘call of the void’ as an analogy for intrusive thoughts,” Devin explained in a press release. “I first heard the term describing ‘the temptation to hurl yourself over the cliff when you’re driving a car’… or to ‘put your hand in the fire when you know you’ll get burned’ etc… thought...

See ‘The Voice’ Audition That Almost Tricks Camila Cabello Into Thinking Shawn Mendes Is Onstage
You would think Camila Cabello should know Shawn Mendes’ voice with her eyes shut, or her back turned. Well, yes, yes she does. Unless you’ve never opened a pop-culture page in the past few years, then you’d know Cabello and Mendes were an item for several years, though the flame has gone out and they’ve gone their separate ways. On Tuesday night’s (Sept. 27) round of blind auditions on The Voice, a potentially awkward moment happened when contestant Tanner Howe covered Mendes’ “Mercy,” an above-ordinary effort that reminded of a Lewis Capaldi and, yes, Mendes. Perhaps a little too much. Howe, a 29-year-old California native, earned a three-chair turn. Only Cabello remained unmoved. “The reason why I didn’t turn around is I felt like you sounded a little bit too much like him,” she explain...
Post Malone Returns to the Stage, Addresses Injury That Stopped Boston Show
Following a health episode earlier in the week, a happier, healthier Post Malone stopped by Cleveland’s Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse on Tuesday night (Sept. 27) — and he was ready to play ball. Coming into the show, question marks hovered over Malone and his status when he was hospitalized with injury. The “Rockstar” rapper had woken with “stabbing pain” whenever he “breathed or moved,” a lingering effect from falling through an open trap door on the stage during his Twelve Carat Tour stop in St. Louis earlier in the month. As a result, he explained on social media, he was forced to cancel his Sept. 24 show in Boston. Malone apparently showed no ill effects in Ohio. During a pause in the show, Postie addressed the situation. “My last show I had to pull out of, unfortunately. Because I really...

Children of Jenni Rivera Reveal Details on Her Upcoming Album at 2022 Latin Music Week
