11-Year-Old Nandi Bushell Covers Slipknot’s “Duality”, Gains Jay Weinberg’s Approval: Watch
<span class="localtime" data-ltformat="F j, Y | g:ia" data-lttime="2021-06-01T17:37:44+00:00“>June 1, 2021 | 1:37pm ET Young phenom Nandi Bushell is back at it, this time ripping through a drum cover of Slipknot’s “Duality”. The 11-year-old’s latest video is so impressive, she got the attention of Slipknot drummer Jay Weinberg. “You’re the best, Nandi!!” Weinberg wrote on Twitter, adding devil-horns, heart, and snare drum emojis. “Always crushing it!” Indeed, if Weinberg ever needs a fill-in, just hit up Nandi. She masters the intense double-kick pedal and controlled chaos of the song’s drum part, composed by former Slipknot percussionist Joey Jordison. Nandi even sports a mask of Slipknot guitarist Mick Thomson to look appropriately spooky as she plays...

Taylor Swift’s evermore Breaks Best Vinyl Sales Week Record in Just Three Days
<span class="localtime" data-ltformat="F j, Y | g:ia" data-lttime="2021-05-31T20:43:25+00:00“>May 31, 2021 | 4:43pm ET Taylor Swift is your new Queen of Vinyl. The vinyl edition of the pop star’s latest (all original) full-length, evermore, just broke the record for best sales week — and it only took three days to do it. As Billboard reports, initial data from sales tracking company MRC Data shows that evermore moved 40,000 vinyl units between its May 28th release and May 30th. Considering that number is obviously expected to grow ahead of the week’s official close on June 3rd, that means Swift will easily snap the record previously held by Jack White’s Lazaretto. It took White’s LP the full week of June 7th-13th, 2014 to reach the same 4...

Technically, he’s both rich enough and somehow still popular enough to be able to self-release a record successfully, but ...
Gorilla Glue Girl Files Cease and Desist Over “My Hair, It Don’t Move” Sample in Viral Song
<span class="localtime" data-ltformat="F j, Y | g:ia" data-lttime="2021-05-31T17:39:58+00:00“>May 31, 2021 | 1:39pm ET At the start of this year, TikTok user Tessica Brown became a viral sensation after using Gorilla Glue clear adhesive spray to hold down her braided ponytail, unaware that it would cause permanent damage. Her original video was both a plea for help and a cautionary warning, but the internet turned it into a meme-turned-shaming session. Thankfully, Brown was eventually helped by a plastic surgeon free of charge, but now she’s up against the next worst thing: a stranger profiting from her pain by way of a song remix sample. Someone named Cocoa Brown has uploaded a song to streaming services called “Bad Idea (Gorilla Glue Girl Remix)”. As ...
