Grimes and Lil Uzi Vert Have Been Working on Music Together
Lil Uzi Vert shocked and excited fans when he revealed that he was working with none other than Grimes – stating that they’re “making hits.” Last year, the synthpop songstress dropped Miss Anthropocene to rave reviews. She followed that up in 2021 with a full remix album featuring numerous high-profile electronic artists, including Richie Hawtin, Tale of Us, and REZZ. As of the publication of this article, their new music is still very much in production. According to Grimes, they still need to finish the project. In 2019, she shared during an interview with Zane Lowe that she had actually produced one of Lil Uzi’s EPs but sadly, the rapper never downloaded the file. Stay tuned as more information regarding the collaboration...
Metallica Perform “Enter Sandman” on Super Bowl Edition of Colbert: Watch
Metallica rocked a special Super Bowl edition of The Late Show With Stephen Colbert on Sunday night. The metal masters offered up a rousing rendition of “Enter Sandman”, set against a special backdrop that paid homage to the band’s recent concert history. Entering their 40th year as a band, Metallica sounded as strong as ever on the late-night performance, with frontman James Hetfield delivering a powerful vocal. The metal icons played in front of a stack of speaker cabinets from various tours and special concerts of the past 20 years, including shows at Yankee Stadium (“Mariano Rivera Day”), Oracle Park (San Francisco Giants “Metallica Night”), and the band’s own 2013 Orion Music + More Festival in Detroit, among others. The pandemic forced Metallica off the road in 2020, but the metal le...
Ford Cuts F-150 Production Due to Semiconductor Chip Shortage
Ford is forced to temporarily cut production at two plants in the United States that make the profitable 2021 Ford F-150 full-size pickup because of the global shortage of semiconductor chips. We will be watching to see if General Motors, which is keeping its truck and full-size SUV plants going while cutting production elsewhere to weather a shortage that began impacting the industry late last year, can gain a truck sales lead—even temporarily. Ford’s F-Series has been the best-selling truck in the U.S. for the past 44 years. GM has been able to claim supremacy when it combines sales of the Chevrolet Silverado and the GMC Sierra, but Chevy alone has not been able to take the crown. Also in the hunt is the Ram 1500. Bragging rights aside, the F-150 pickup truck is Ford’s bread ...
2021 Super Bowl: 12 Best Commercials
VoiceNotes Another surprise get came with T-Mobile’s Super Bowl ad, a hilariously shady meet-cute tale that ostensibly told the story of how the seemingly diametrically opposed musical celebs Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton ended up together. It involved Adam Levine, a poor cell connection, some clever writing, and a whole lotta secrecy to keep it under wraps until its Sunday debut. Some Good Buds Post Malone, Cedric the Entertainer, the Bud Knight, the guy who tearily says “I Love You, Man” and other Bud commercial fan faves teamed up for Bud Light Legends commercial. With Budweiser’s advertising focus shifted to Bud Light, we have truly entered a PostMapocalyptic World. I Just Opened My Mouth and Out It Okurrrrrr It’s a testament to the brilliant simplicity o...

The Kid Laroi Sets Australian Chart Record
F*ck Love (Savage) debuted at No. 3 in August 2020 under its original title, F*ck Love, and returned to that peak position in November after the release of the deluxe edition, F*ck Love (Savage). “Huge congratulations to The Kid Laroi on hitting the top of the ARIA Albums Chart,” comments ARIA’s newly appointed CEO, Annabelle Herd. “This is an incredible feat for an artist of any age and, with audiences around the world embracing his music, it is obviously just the beginning.” The mixtape climbs to the top for the first time in its 28th week on the chart. Also, The Kid Laroi (real name Charlton Howard) becomes the second male indigenous solo artist to top the chart after Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu did so in April 2018 with his posthumous release Djarimirri (Child Of The Rainbow). The...

Not Your Muse leads an all-new Top 4. Celeste’s debut holds off Money Can’t Buy Happiness (Since 93), the second album from London rapper Fredo.

Metallica Bring ‘Enter Sandman’ to Colbert’s Super Bowl Special
Following a whirlwind day of music, it’s fitting that Metallica topped off the day with an appearance on the Late Show With Stephen Colbert. Instead of unveiling something new, the rock giants went back 30 years to perform their signature song, “Enter Sandman,” which was performed from the band’s studio in the Bay Area. Check it out below: Metallica wrapped up a star-studded Super Bowl weekend that included Green Day performing at the NFL Honors award ceremony Saturday night, Miley Cyrus hyping the crowd during the TikTok pregame celebration, and of course the Weeknd’s electric halftime set. Back in November, Metallica debuted an acoustic rendition of “Blackened” and an electric version of “Disposable Heroes.” Though they’ve been busy playing virtual shows, drummer Lars Ulrich doesn’t...
M. Night Shyamalan Shares Teaser Trailer for New Film Old: Watch
M. Night Shyamalan’s trailer for Old During the Super Bowl, we saw a group of people go through a horrifying process that rapidly aged their bodies and brains. Oh, and M. Night Shyamalan released the first teaser trailer for his new film Old. The follow-up to 2019’s Glass was inspired by the 2010 graphic novel Sandcastle by Pierre Oscar Lévy and Frederik Peeters. That story involved a dead body on a beach, a racist accusation, and a terribly rapid onset of aging. It appears Shyamalan has kept several of the original elements, though whenever he’s at the helm, there’s always a chance for a twist. Yet also a killer cast, and Old is no exception. Stranded on this nightmarish beach is Gael García Bernal, Eliza Scanlen, Thomasin McKenzie, Alex Wolff, Abbey Lee, Embeth Davidtz, a...
The Falcon and the Winter Solider Wield Captain America’s Shield in Super Bowl Trailer: Watch
Now that we know how awesome the Disney+ side of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is going to be thanks to WandaVision, hype for the rest of the streamer’s slate is at a fever pitch. That made the Super Bowl the perfect time to unleash the new trailer for The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. In the latest preview, we get to see what the relationship between Sam Wilson/The Falcon (Anthony Mackie) and Bucky Barnes/The Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan) is like in the wake of Captain America retiring. As could be expected, it’s playfully contentious, with the latter not a fan of the former’s blithe approach to superheroing. Of course, it’s the Falcon who now wields Cap’s shield (and he does a bunch in this trailer), but that doesn’t mean Bucky won’t have an opinion on how he handles it. They’ll have ...
The Weeknd Performs 2021 Super Bowl Halftime Show: Watch
The Weeknd got his money’s worth with a lavish Super Bowl Halftime performance. Due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, this year’s NFL championship had an eerily small audience compared to the usual overflowing stadium. But that didn’t stop The Weeknd from pleasing the crowds, both those in the stands and people watching at home, with a decked-out concert featuring fireworks, a massive choir, and doppelgängers galore. The seven-song set kicked off with “Starboy” and “The Hills” before segueing into to material from The Weeknd’s massive After Hours, one of the best albums of 2020. In particular, the Toronto coroner delivered thrilling performances of “Can’t Feel My Face”, “Save Your Tears”, and “Blinding Lights”, which appropriately served as the closer. The setlist was rounded out by “I ...
