Elon Musk is Hosting SNL. No, Really.
<span class="localtime" data-ltformat="F j, Y | g:ia" data-lttime="2021-04-24T19:17:27+00:00“>April 24, 2021 | 3:17pm ET Nothing says comedy quite like a multi-billion dollar tech mogul, and yet here we are: Elon Musk, the pioneering force behind Tesla, Space X, and Neurolink, has been booked to host Saturday Night Live on May 8th alongside musical guest Miley Cyrus. To be fair, Elon has jokes for days. Like that time he tweeted, while allegedly under the influence of acid, that he would take Tesla public once its stock price hit $420. After the SEC launched an investigation into Musk’s comments, he admitted to learning about the significance of 420 from his girlfriend, Grimes, and thought she would find his tweet “funny.” Comedy, amirite? Anyhow, in be...
Apple’s “Spring Loaded” Event Puts Music From Party Favor, Louis The Child, More Center Stage
This week, Apple’s “Spring Loaded” event wasn’t short on surprises as the world’s largest company by market cap showed consumers what’s next in their iconic product line. Of course, the leader in big tech is known for their sticky products and memorable marketing, and consumers were certainly reminded of that this week after the company revealed a series of sleek and colorful segments and promotional videos soundtracked to several artists we know well. Electronic music held a prominent footprint at the event with tracks from Louis The Child and Foster The People, BAYNK, and Party Favor all landing in the tech giant’s mix. The Chemical Brothers effectively premiered their latest single, “The Darkness You Fear,” during the event, a m...
Miley Cyrus to Play Elon Musk-Hosted Episode of ‘Saturday Night Live’
Saturday Night Live announced their latest episode pairing, and it’s a weird one. On May 8, Miley Cyrus is set to take the stage for an episode hosted by Elon Musk (no, that is not a typo). This will mark the Tesla CEO’s hosting debut and Cyrus’ sixth appearance as the show’s musical guest. While it’s assumed Cyrus will play tracks off her latest album, Plastic Hearts, you never know—she’s been covering everything from Queen to Nine Inch Nails during her recent performances. As for Musk, we have no idea what to expect, but we know it’s bound to be an interesting (and maybe a little cringy) episode and who knows, maybe Grimes will show up too.

Paint Spill! See the Chevy C8 Corvette’s New-for-2022 Gray, Orange, and Brown Options
The most eye-catching is Amplify Orange Tintcoat, which takes over where Sebring Orange Tintcoat left off. Sebring Orange was a “premium” paint color with a $995 upcharge; it’s not clear if Amplify Orange will carry the same cost. It’s also not clear how the color actually differs considering the reveal images. It looks pretty similar to our eyes, at least through the computer screen. See all 40 photos Next up is Caffeine, a metallic brown with a tanned leather sort of tone, which is a replacement for the more muted Zeus Bronze Metallic. Surely it’s going to be a polarizing paint color, and it’d be interesting to look back and see what the take rate is on it. Zeus Bronze was a no-cost option, so smart money is on Caffeine being likewise. See all 40 photo...

Tiger Woods Up On Crutches 2 Months After Car Accident
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Rob Rich/WENN.com / WENN Tiger Woods is still standing. Two months after a severe car crash that left him with a shattered leg, the golf legend shared a picture of himself on his two feet, with the help of crutches. “My course is coming along faster than I am 😃. But it’s nice to have a faithful rehab partner, man’s best friend,” wrote Woods for the caption. Besides the crutches, and the assistance of his trusty sidekick, he also has a huge medical brace on his lower right leg, ankle and foot. Woods was driving in Rancho Palos Verdes in late February when he drove his SUV into a tree at close to 80 mph. He reportedly suffered comminuted open fractures in his leg, which required surgery and clearly requires extensive rehab. “In the last few days, I ...
Dr. Carl Hart: Blame Drug War For DMX’s Death, Not Drugs
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Adam Bielawski/WENN.com / WENN DMX, whose given name is Earl Simmons, died on April 9 after spending a week on life support. He was just 50, more than two decades short of his expected time on earth. Sometimes life is cruel that way. But not even death could kill moralistic-infused conjectures about DMX’s past drug use and its potential role in his untimely demise. “DMX suffered a drug overdose… [and this] …triggered a heart attack,” TMZ reported before anyone else. Like hungry sharks in pursuit of prey, other media outlets pounced on the story, devoured it, and shared it without deviating. Reactions on social media varied from sympathetic responses like this one: “Addiction is a lifelong battle” to just plain cruel ones like this: “If you do drugs, then ...

Festival Workers Bemoan EDC Las Vegas Postponement: “We’re Used to Bad News”
The “Headliners” aren’t the only ones reeling from the postponement of EDC Las Vegas. The COVID-19 pandemic has been brutal for the live music scene, and while fans have certainly felt its absence, the impact of the virus has been particularly devastating for music festival workers and venue crews. The lighting technicians who painstakingly retrofit stages with the rigs responsible for blowing minds; the security guards who grab creepy men by their collars and throw them out like Uncle Phil launches Jazz in The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air; the ticket scanners who literally open the gates of the most memorable times of music fans’ lives. These people are often overlooked by the music community at large despite their pivotal roles in ensuring special and safe experie...
