Fleet Foxes Almost Collaborated With Post Malone on a Song for Their New Album
If there’s one thing Post Malone enjoys as much as being the human embodiment of Bud Light, it’s Fleet Foxes (or Nirvana). His fandom is pretty clearly documented in his social media over the years, and he even had J. Tillman (who played drums for the band before transforming into Father John Misty) write “Myself” from last year’s Hollywood’s Bleeding. But while the “White Iverson” singer remains one of the easiest targets in entertainment, it sounds like he almost got to live his dream of being featured on a Fleet Foxes song. “He came by the studio for one day while we were working in L.A. and listened to stuff and was super supportive,” Fleet Foxes singer Robin Pecknold said on RADIO.COM’s New Arrivals. “We didn̵...
2021 Ford F-150 PowerBoost Hybrid Gets Better MPG Than Gas-Fed Chevy, Ram
We already knew that the 2021 Ford F-150 PowerBoost hybrid has more power and torque than its segment rivals, save for the 702-hp Ram 1500 TRX, which is hardly an apples-to-apples light-duty competitor. Now, according to the EPA’s website, we’re learning the gas-electric PowerBoost hybrid truck will boast pretty impressive fuel economy numbers, too. The EPA also has revealed efficiency figures for most of the rest of the 2021 F-150 family. <!– –> 2021 Ford F-150 Hybrid MPG The hybridized Ford F-150 delivers an estimated 24 mpg city, 24 mpg highway, and—predictably—24 mpg combined on the EPA test cycle. It achieves this high rating while managing to put out 430 hp and 570 lb-ft of torque. As expected, the hybrid performs better than most other models in the F-150 lineup, w...
Euro-Spec 2022 Hyundai Kona Electric’s Raft Of Updates Likely Coming Here, Too
The Hyundai Kona Electric has been with us for a while now, and it’s a pleasing electron-powered alternative to the standard Kona. For 2022, all of Hyundai’s Konas are getting a new face, and now we know at least the European-market version of the Kona Electric will, too, among other changes. Outside, the Kona EV adopts the gas-fed model’s slimmer headlights and sleeker face. The wheel arch cladding is body colored instead of bare plastic, while the rear of the car gets slimmer tail lights, new turn signal elements, reversing light unit, and a new rear bumper. All in all, the changes to the exterior have turned the entire Kona range from a somewhat awkward looking machine into something relatively handsome. <!– –> Underneath that massaged sheetmetal lies...
System of a Down Guitarist Says In-Fighting Is Preventing New Music
System of a Down has been super busy of late, dropping “Genocidal Humanoidz” and “Protect The Land,” the band’s first new songs in 15 years. The politically motivated tunes were inspired by the conflict between Artsakh and Azerbaijan, and they raised nearly $600,000 to aid those in SOAD’s Armenian homeland. But there’s another conflict at play: the band”s guitarist Daron Malakian, also of Scars on Broadway, appeared with host Matt Everitt on BBC6 on Nov. 12 to discuss the tunes and their message. But he also spoke about the dynamics within SOAD and the possibility [note: slim] of a new full record. Making new music is, “not that simple, I guess. I wish it was,” Malakian told Everitt. “It should be; it should be. But it gets ...
Twitch Issues Apology for Ongoing Music Licensing Issues: “We’ll Do Better”
The streaming platform says negotiations with major labels over music copyright and usage are still underway. As Twitch remains locked in a seemingly endless dispute with the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and major record labels over music copyright and licensing issues, the streaming giant has now issued an apology to its users. Citing frustration and confusion among its users, Twitch apologized in a new blog post that legitimizes their concerns as “completely justified.” “Over the last several months, we have done our best to manage this situation on behalf of both rights holders and creators,” the blog post reads. “One of the mistakes we made was not building adequate tools to allow creators to manage their own VOD and Clip libra...

Who Runs The World: Black & Latina Women Are Starting A Revolution Without White Women
Source: Tom Williams / Getty Black and Latina women are setting the political sphere ablaze and we love to see it. After the historic turnout for both groups during the 2020 Presidential Election, both Black and Brown women have taken notice of their political influence and intend to spark change. While the revolution is, in theory, going forward without the overt assistance of white women, many will be involved because of their sheer numbers, but overall the last two elections have proven that Black and Brown women have a voice loud enough to march on its own. As Dahleen Glanton points out in her op-ed for the Chicago Tribune, “the mere thought of Black women and Latinas coming together to chart the course of the country terrifies many in mainstream America. Already, some on social ...
