We’re not lying; you can, in fact, put an aftermarket exhaust system on your Tesla Model 3. Don’t believe us? Check out the season 10 premiere of All Girls Garage, where Bogi and Faye Hadley will show you exactly how to add aural shenanigans to your Ludicrous Mode fun times. But what other Tesla aftermarket modifications can you do? And why?

Would those changes do anything to improve on a Model 3’s perf...
Next-Gen Toyota Land Cruiser Caught Showing Its Evolutionary Style
The next-gen Toyota Land Cruiser SUV is due to look a lot like the current one. Well, that’s if spy pictures of the internally named 300-series Land Cruiser that recently appeared on social media sites are to be believed. Admittedly, the evolutionary styling of Toyota’s newest iteration of its flagship SUV comes as little surprise. After all, the big box’s basic design has remained much the same for decades. Still, images posted to the Instagram account “Land Cruiser Updates” give us a better idea of what to expect from the new Toyota 4×4, including its redesigned front and rear ends, as well as its interior. While the latest Land Cruiser appears to maintain the current 200-series model’s big and boxy stature, it does appear to adopt more ...

<span class="localtime" data-ltformat="F j, Y | g:ia" data-lttime="2021-04-23T15:05:08+00:00“>April 23, 2021 | 11:05am ET Sparks have reunited with the producer who gave them their big break, Todd Rundgren, on the new song “Your Fandango”. While calling themselves Halfnelson in the late 1960s, brothers Ron and Russell Mael came to the attention of Rundgren while he was working for Albert Grossman. At Rundgren’s urging Grossman signed Halfnelson, and after the duo rebranded as Sparks they had their first minor hit with “Wonder Girl”. The rest is art pop history. Their latest collaboration is bonkers fun. “Everybody loves it when you do your fandango,” Sparks sing. “When you do your fandango/ When you do your fandango.” There’s a harpsichor...

Myke Towers Breaks Down 5 Ultra-Personal Tracks on ‘Lyke Mike’ Album: Exclusive
The set, which includes collaborations with Miky Woodz, Jon Z, Ñengo Flow, and Sahir, is an ode to basketball, el barrio and, his biggest inspiration, Michael Jordan. “He’s the person that has motivated me the most, not only musically but in my life, overall,” he notes. “He doesn’t sing, but he has a winning attitude. Whenever I have free time, I buy his shoes, his games — he’s always inspired me.” Lyke Mike is also a tribute to his fans, the ones who knew Myke Towers before he was Myke Towers — the ones who followed his career from the underground rap scene, up. “My fans accepted that I had to do what I had to do to continue growing. I couldn’t just stay doing mixtapes and rap,” he says. “Every time people want to hear me rap, they can always return to Lyke Mike.” An ultr...
Kehlani Confirms She Identifies as Lesbian on TikTok: ‘Everyone Knew But Me’
The singer then went on to say that she’s started having emotional “heart-to-hearts” with her family to let them know about her identity — and that she’s mostly been met with unsurprised responses. “I’m like, ‘Guys, I finally know that I’m gay. Like, I’m gay gay.’ And they’re like, ‘We know. Duh, stupid, duh,'” she said. “I just feel like, ‘No.’ Like, I want you to fall on the floor and be like, ‘Congratulations we had no idea!'” She continued, joking about how no one has reacted with anything but anticipation. “Everyone’s just like, ‘Duh. You’re the only one who didn’t f—ing know. The f—ing closet was glass,'” she said. ̶...
First Country: New Music From Blake Shelton, Eric Church, Reba McEntire & More
Eric Church, Soul The third part in Church’s Heart & Soul trilogy focuses on the soul — from Motown to Stax to Muscle Shoals — that have influenced his life and music. Top cuts are the languid “Hell of a View,” about finding the perfect partner to go through life’s adventures with; the chugging, unapologetic “Break It Kind of Guy” and “Lynyrd Skynyrd Jones,” the kind of emotional storytelling song that so few artists even attempt these days, much less succeed with to the degree that Church does. Keith Urban feat. Breland & Nile Rodgers, “Out the Cage” Urban is country music’s most fascinating shape-shifter, easily melding different musical styles with complete ease. Here, he busts forth with a frenetic, nonstop banger with great assists from newcomer Breland and icon&nb...
Black Rob’s Former Manager Puts Diddy On Blast For Not Moving Faster
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Jamie McCarthy / Getty Even though Diddy has offered to help with Black Rob’s funeral arrangements he is still being criticized. Rob’s former manager has called out the mogul for dragging his feet. As spotted on HipHopDX the Bad Boy Entertainment founder’s loyalty has come into question yet again this week. In an exclusive interview with Murder Master Music Show Kal Dawson made it clear that Puff’s help came too little and way too late. “Through somebody else that was affiliated with Rob, Diddy reached out and was gonna do something for Rob, this is when the video first went up when he was in the hospital,” he revealed around the 4:15 minute mark. “People dragging their feet and nothing got done. So now you gonna pay for his funeral, he dead and gone...
Pacha Group is Expanding With a New Club in London
Pacha Group is on a mission this year to expand its dominance in Europe. The fabled clubbing brand has long been a go-to destination for party-goers worldwide ever since they opened their first location in 1967 in the small beach town of Sitges, Spain.
