Win Butler Hints That Arcade Fire Have Written “Two or Three” Albums in Quarantine
Early into quarantine, Win Butler revealed that the pandemic put the breaks on the recording of Arcade Fire’s new album. The frontman said he’d instead turned to writing more, and now it looks like he’s come up with enough material for more than just one Everything Now follow-up. In a new interview on Rick Rubin’s Broken Record podcast, Butler hinted that the delay in recording may end up fortuitous for those who can’t get enough Arcade Fire. “We would’ve been getting towards wrapping up [recording a new album], I think,” he said. “So instead we just wrote two or three.” Butler explained that it usually takes the band a full year of writing before they’re ready to go into the studio.

It’s no surprise, then, how giddy Eilish was to appear on An Oral History. “This is crazy!” gushed the pop megastar, who joined Baumgartner and Steve Carell (Michael Scott) via FaceTime mere days after sweeping the Grammys. In a discussion about it...

Charlamagne Tha God Blames Joe Budden’s Poor Negotiation Skills For “Trash-Ass Deals”
Source: Johnny Nunez / Getty Now that Joe Budden announced his show’s departure from Spotify, Charlamagne Tha God couldn’t help but offer his professional, but possibly blind assessment of what went wrong behind the scenes during the former rapper’s contract renewal with the streaming service. According to his calculations, Budden more than likely has trash negotiation skills. “It sounds to me like Joe Budden is a person who knows his worth but doesn’t know how to properly negotiate it,” Charlamagne said on The Breakfast Club. “‘Cause if you keep doing deals with various corporations and you keep getting trash-ass deals, that’s on you. Things like vacation days, bonuses, all of that has to be negotiated in your contract from the beginning.” [embedded content] On the topic of leverage, Char...

Wilfred Ndidi: Why Leicester City move was very scary for me
Wilfred Ndidi claimed he saw his move to Premier League side Leicester City as an opportunity rather than getting carried away with pressure. After three seasons at Belgian top-flight side Genk, the Nigeria international joined the Foxes in a transfer deal worth £17 million. At that time, the King Power Stadium giants were reigning English champions, plus they needed a replacement for N’Golo Kante who had joined Chelsea on a five-year deal. The Frenchman played a starring role in Leicester’s English top-flight-winning campaign where he made 40 appearances while helping France reach the final of Euro 2016. Despite adapting to life quickly at the Luminus Arena after his move from Nigeria’s Nath Boys Academy, Ndidi said he saw an opportunity to ‘develop’, thus, embraced the burden of expectat...
