Howard Stern Thinks Phish’s Madison Square Garden Run Was a Superspreader Event
Last week, Phish played their postponed Madison Square Garden residency after pushing it back due to the omicron variant. Over the past several days, some concertgoers have attributed positive COVID tests to their attendance at the event. One of those fans is Howard Stern Show executive producer Jason Kaplan, which led to the host inviting attendees of the shows to call in with their experiences (via Variety) at the potential superspreader event. Kaplan was asked to take a home COVID test after Stern noticed his scratchy throat, and recounted his experience at the Phish shows. “I got no one to blame but myself,” Kaplan said on-air while also admitting he attended a hotel afterparty where there was heavy nitrous use. “It’s out there, it’s still happening… Nothing is worth get...
Killer Mike and Ruth Talk Desperation and Hip-Hop in Clip from Ozark: Watch
Killer Mike guest stars in the upcoming final season of Ozark, and Netflix has shared a clip that finds him discussing more than hip-hop with the character Ruth (Julia Garner).

Toro Y Moi Drives Into His Next Chapter With Mahal
By Mia Hughes In Toro y Moi’s music video for “Postman,” the first single from his seventh and newest album Mahal, he sits behind the wheel of a loudly ornamented jeepney. A kind of eccentric taxi converted from a Jeep that is common in the Philippines, this model is emblazoned with the project’s title, which is Filipino for “love.” The car appears, too, on the album artwork, parked in front of the Golden Gate Bridge, and the strangely melodic sounds of its straining, sputtering engine flank the collection of songs. The vehicle is a sort of portal, connecting the album with the physical world. It really does belong to Chaz Bear, the man behind Toro y Moi. He bought it on eBay, restored and decorated it, and now he takes it for drives around San Francisco, blasting his latest tracks from th...
