Tegan and Sara Navigate Adolescence in First Teaser Trailer for High School: Watch
Tegan and Sara are just a pair of precocious girls navigating adolescence in the first teaser trailer for High School. Based on their memoir of the same name, the series will premiere October 14th on Amazon Freevee. While many people view the singer-songwriters as an inseparable duo, the new teaser focuses on their glaring disagreements. “What happened to your eye?” a girl asks in the high school bathroom. “My sister punched me in the face,” comes the reply. When questioned if they’re twins, one says, “No,” as one says, “Yeah,” and later we hear the complaint, “We’ve had to share everything.” But just because they squabble, that doesn’t mean they don’t love each other. Towards the end of the teaser, we see them pick up a guitar and write a song, singing togeth...

Britney Spears’ Ex-Husband Sentenced to 128 Days in Jail for Crashing Her Wedding
Britney Spears’ ex-husband, Jason Alexander, was sentenced to 128 days in a county jail after pleading no contest to aggravated trespassing and battery, both misdemeanors. The charges stemmed from Alexander’s attempt to crash Spears’ wedding to Sam Asghari back in June. Alexander was initially charged with trespassing, vandalism, and two counts of battery, but struck a deal with Ventura County, California prosecutors for lesser misdemeanor charges. Because Alexander already spent more than two months in a county jail, his sentence will require no additional time before bars. However, he currently remains in custody for an outstanding felony grand theft warrant. Alexander, who was married to Spears for 55 hours following a spur-of-the-moment Las Vegas wedding in 2004, illegally entered Spea...
Andrew Bird and Iron & Wine Perform NPR Tiny Desk Concert: Watch
Andrew Bird and Iron & Wine’s Sam Beam have found freedom on the other side of peak popularity: past branding, past pretense, where all that’s left is joy in making music. The newfound friends took a break from touring the country together to perform a joint Tiny Desk Concert, and their set was as casual and exuberant as if they were noodling around on the porch on a Saturday night. The pair have an easy chemistry, with Bird playing the handsome straight man and Beam the class clown. “We started learning each other’s songs,” Bird said. “I love Sam’s writing” — at which time Beam interrupted: “I love your handwriting.” They opened with “Make a Picture” from Bird’s 2022 album Inside Problems, before moving on to the 2007 Iron & Wine favorite, “Flightless Bird, Ame...

The Streets Shares New EP Brexit at Tiffany’s: Stream
UK hip-hop veteran Mike Skinner has returned with a new EP under his moniker The Streets. The three-song project is called Brexit at Tiffany’s, and it’s out now along with the title track’s music video. Brexit at Tiffany’s is a smorgasbord of Skinner’s sonic personas as The Streets. Opening track “3 Minutes to Midnight,” which features grime artist Manga Saint Hilare, is driven by a pulsing beat that mirrors the imminent anxiety of the track’s nihilistic, dystopian themes: “It’s three minutes to midnight on the doomsday clock/ Hold up your lighter, we’re all still alive.” Closer “Test of Time” is more melodic, switching off between a driving synth and a piano backdrop. But the Jazz Morley-featuring “Brexit at Tiffany’s” is the most somber, comparing the agony of a breakup to the ...
