For $25,000, You Can Make a Chevy Corvette C8 Look Like This
It has been just over one year since the 2020 Chevrolet C8 Corvette, the first-ever mid-engined Vette, made its debut. In that time it has garnered acclaim, praise, and proved so thoroughly excellent that we named it the 2020 MotorTrend Car of the Year. But what if none of the performance matters to you? What if you just want an exotic-looking mid-engine supercar to be seen in? Perhaps the Ferrari F8 Tributo and the Lamborghini Huracan Evo are exactly what you’d want, but they’re a little out of your price range. Well, fear not, the C8 Corvette can play that role, too, although it can do so a whole lot better with Sigala Designs’ decidedly unsubtle body kit. The Sigala kit for the new Corvette is transformative, least not because the C8’s styling is fairl...

There’s One Song From Taylor Swift’s ‘Folklore’ You Can’t Hear Yet

Adam Levine Shaves His Head, And He’s All Alone in Maroon 5’s ‘Nobody’s Love’: Watch
It’s lonely at the top, especially in lockdown. Maroon 5’s “Nobody’s Love” is a visual nod to all that. The new video is a study of being all alone in a big city. Adam Levine is that guy. He’s the only guy. Indeed, no one else appears in the clip, shot in Los Angeles by David Dobkin, the filmmaker behind Maroon 5’s promos for “Sugar,” “Girls Like You” and “Memories.” Levine is sporting a full beard and freshly-shaved head combo. And at one point he rolls a fat smoke, the contents of which are ambiguous. On it, he sings, “You’re the only hand in my back pocket/ If you ever left I go psychotic/ Heaven hear me cryin cryin oh oh/ Baby you’re the key to my heart locket.” According to the blurb accompanying the video, Dobkin filmed “Nobody’s Love” on an iPhone. Maroon 5 will perform their ...

Taylor Swift’s new album was a surprise for her many fans, but it was months in the making. The pop superstar dropped the new LP at midnight, just 24 hours after telling the world it was coming. Accompanying the release is an elegant essay, a primer, for Taylor’s new LP which she made in isolation. It’s a “collection of songs and stories that flowed like a stream of consciousness,” she writes. Read Swift’s explainer in full below. “It started with imagery. Visuals that popped into my mind and piqued my curiosity. Stars drawn around scars. A cardigan that still bears the scent of loss twenty years later. Battleships sinking into the ocean, down, down, down. The tree swing in the woods of my childhood. Hushed tones of “let’s run away” and never doing it. The sun drenched month of Augus...

Even before 2020, in the depths of the last year which was the worst of my life, I’ve been trying to soul search and find happiness in everything I’ve built. The truth is, I haven’t been happy or felt alive since the be...

A dance music subreddit is reigniting the discussion around the genre’s top albums, calling on its members to rank the “Top 100 Electronic Albums” of the 2010s. r/electronicmusic has been working over the last few months to organize the masses to narrow down the Top 100 rankings.
