Primal Scream’s Bobby Gillespie and Echo and the Bunnymen’s Will Sergeant Announce Memoirs
Third Man Records’ book imprint has announced that it’s releasing new memoirs by Primal Scream’s Bobby Gillespie and Echo and the Bunnymen’s Will Sergeant. It marks the first time the two British rock icons have recounted the details of their storied lives in writing. First up is Gillespie’s Tenement Kid, which is described as “a righteous path through a decade lost to Thatcherism and saved by acid house.” That may sound bleak, but rest assured that the memoir is supposed to be rather celebratory and beautifully written. It’s structured in four parts that examine Gillespie’s working-class upbringing in Glasgow, the early days of Primal Scream, the “Second Summer of Love”, and the lasting legacy of his band. Meanwhile, Sergeant’s memoir is titled Bunnyman: Post-War Kid to Post-Pun...

Natalie Portman and Julianne Moore to Star in Todd Haynes’ New Film May December
The present will crumble under the weight of the past in Todd Haynes’ new film May December. As Deadline reports, it stars the timeless talents of Natalie Portman and Julianne Moore. The story follows a Hollywood starlet (Portman) as she travels to Maine to prepare for a biographical film based on a real-life woman (Moore).

The screenplay comes from Samy Burch, based on a story by Burch and Alex Mechanik. In a statement, Haynes said, “What ...

During the weekend, he said he couldn’t support the For the People Act because it was exclusively supported by Democrats. “H.R.1 stands up against lobbyists and dark money. I would reckon to think that this is probabl...

Marshmello Speaks: Listen to Him Break Down His New “Shockwave” Album on Pandora
If you’ve never heard Marshmello speak, now’s your chance to hear the man behind the helmet.
