JoJo Siwa is the latest celebrity to share her experience with coronavirus. “I did end up getting it, the big, dreaded COVID-19. It got through my whole family,” the 17-year-old told ET, noting that thankfully, symptoms were mild. “We had headaches, we were tired, we had shortness of breath, we had all the things. All my family actually lost their taste and smell, but all have it back. But I never did.” She added that her brother and parents tested positive before she contracted the virus. “Everyone who gets this virus, it’s gonna affect them differently,” she said. “We were all, like, three days apart.” You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.

Relive the ’90s Outdoor Lifestyle in This Minty Stick-Shift Ford Explorer
Today’s Ford Explorer is a fairly run-of-the-mill three-row family SUV, which means it offers all-wheel drive, no real off-road capability, and is sold exclusively with an automatic transmission. But it hasn’t always been this way—those who remember the original Explorer, you know, the one in the first Jurassic Park movie, will recall that it was a much more capable, much less polished thing. That was partially due to its roots in the Bronco II platform shared with the Ranger pickup truck, and partially because anything SUV-shaped in 1991 was just expected to be able to, at a minimum, get a little dirty. Maybe bash a few rocks. The Explorer was a truck at heart, and its long-throw manual transmission just added to its rustic charm. Should anyone feel like reliving the...

After Cryptic Email Campaign, Subtronics Announces Debut Cyclops Compilation
Last week, a number of electronic music producers received random, cryptic emails from an address that looks like it was comprised of hieroglyphics. Many of those artists tweeted about the email in a collective “WTF” moment, sharing screenshots of it to the bewilderment of EDM Twitter. Adding to the mystique of the whole email quandary was its contents. In a blurb that looks like it was plucked out of a Hunger Games book, the email simply reads, “You have been selected. You will be required to use your individual set of skills in order to survive. Your first mission launches soon.” Confused by the email and its Liam Neeson quote from Taken, many of the artists who received it tried to decipher the message, but to no avail. The source of the email...

PRS for Music Proposed Livestreams Rate Scheme Draws Managers’ Ire
“For the sake of all artists, songwriters and the wider industry, it is crucial that this new format is allowed to grow and thrive,” the artists and managers say in their letter. “Charging artists up to four times the live rate strangles rather than nurtures this innovation.” Signing onto the letter were managers for such artists as Dua Lipa, Biffy Clyro, Liam Gallagher, Bicep, Fontaines D.C., Gorillaz, Yungblud, and Arlo Parks, as well as a group of songwriters. In a statement sent to Billboard, PRS for Music did not detail the proposed scheme for its Online Live Concert license, which it said was “still evolving.” The organization says the new scheme will allow the necessary rights to be licensed and says it welcomes “the many initiatives to move live concerts online.” The manager and ar...
