Only good governance will silence social media criticism – NCC chair
The Chairman of the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), Professor Adeolu Akande, has said only good governance will silence social media from its criticism of government. Professor Akande said the agitation against the social media because of criticism of government through the medium will not stop such criticism, saying when government performs well, the social media is bound to respond positively. “When government performs well, the social media is abuzz with praises for the government. When government fails, the social media is abuzz with condemnation. The best way to silence the social media is to strive and do well,” he submitted. Professor Akande spoke as Guest Speaker at the Annual Lecture of the Nigerian Union of Journalists, Oyo State chapter in Ibadan Tuesday. Speaking on t...
‘Literally Nobody’ Wants to Buy Nick Cave’s Pornographic Wallpaper
If you want to buy some wallpaper of Nick Cave’s drawings of naked women, it sounds like you could honestly say that you’re the only person who has it. The singer-songwriter (who’s usually accompanied by the Bad Seeds, although apparently not as bad as his commercial choice of wallpaper drawings) mentioned to Financial Times that he hasn’t sold a single roll of the £200 ($270ish for those in America) product. “My favorite thing is the Hyatt Girls pornographic wallpaper, made from drawings of naked women I have doodled in hotels down the years,” Cave said. “It’s a lovely thing – and so far has sold zero rolls. I am immensely proud of designing a product that literally nobody wants!” Of course, there are also some items for sale that are hopefully selling better, like pol...

UK Government Accused of Intentionally Trying to Collapse Nightlife Sector
The Night Time Industries Association (NTIA) describes itself as the lobbying organization on behalf of the UK’s nightlife sector, a $66 billion industry and employer of 8% of Britain’s workforce. From a policy perspective, the organization relies on productive dialogue with government officials to advocate for the sector’s best interest, but with prolonged COVID-19 restrictions still in place and limited transparency from the government, it seems talks have all but broken down between the parties. On Wednesday, December 2nd, the government’s latest instantiation of restrictions are scheduled to go into effect. The regulations, the NTIA argues, will continue to disproportionately impact the hospitality industry, as pubs, bars, and restaurants will be...

Trent Reznor, Dua Lipa and The Killers Dig Deep in Song Exploder Season Two Trailer
The second season Song Exploder, the Netflix series based on the podcast of the same name, premieres globally on Dec. 15 and just dropped its first trailer. In it, one of the most powerful moments is when Trent Reznor is seen listening to the classic Nine Nails song “Hurt” and reflecting, “I felt alone. That’s me not knowing who I am anymore: I think I said ‘I’m sorry.’ Then it exploded unexpectedly.” In addition to Nine Inch Nails, the series features The Killers, Dua Lipa and Natalia Lafourcade.

The Strokes Battle Robots on ‘The Adults Are Talking’ Video
The Strokes are not very good at sports, at least not in their new music video for “The Adults Are Talking.” The video is directed by Roman Coppola, who previously worked with the band on several clips from 2001’s Is This It. In an intense game of baseball, the band is losing by 56 runs, which will happen if you stick to making catchy indie rock riffs instead of working out. The song is from this year’s The New Abnormal, their sixth studio album, and echoes the nostalgic sound of Is This It. It’s probably not unexpected that they’re losing the game, as the opposing team is made up of robots. However, The Strokes certainly do not strike out; The New Abnormal was just nominated for a Grammy for Best Rock Album—up against Fontaines D.C., Sturgill Simpson, Michael Kiwanuka, and Grace...
