Whenever this pandemic finally comes to an end, Foo Fighters’ fans have a lot to look forward to. Not only is the band planning to hit the road in celebration of their 25th anniversary, but a new album is in the can and ready to be released. This week, Dave joined his mother, Virgina Grohl, for a Mother’s Day-themed interview with Los Angeles’ ALT 98.7 FM.

Bob Dylan Memorializes Little Richard: “I’m So Grieved”
The influence of Little Richard can be felt across the entire spectrum of modern music: just look at the countless number of artists, many of whom are legends in their own right, who took time to memorialize Richard following news of his passing on Saturday.

Upon sharing the news on Twitter, Musk told his followers that the baby is named “X Æ A-12”, which seems like a joke until you remember this is Grimes and Elon Musk’s baby.

According to Grimes, “X” refers to “the unknown variable” and “Æ “is “my elven spelling of Ai (love &/or Artificial intelligence).” If you guessed “A-12” refers to the Lockheed A-12 OXCART, the reconnaissance aircraft built for the CIA, you’d be right. “No weapons, no defenses, just speed. Great in battle, but non-violent,” Grimes explained. Additionally, the “A...

Everyone from film critics to Universal Studios was disappointed in Tom Hooper’s adaptation of Cats. As it turns out, the film’s cast was also let down. In a new British Vogue cover story, Judi Dench went on the record to say she was appalled by the film’s CGI, equating her character’s look to that of “a battered, mangy old cat.” Dench had a lot to say about the movie, especially for someone who still hasn’t seen it, notes IndieWire. The 85-year-old actress filmed her parts in green screen while her eyesight was impaired. Afterwards, she was shown photographs and film stills of her character, Old Deuteronomy. “The cloak I was made to wear!” she exclaimed. “Like five foxes fucking on my back.” Instead of looking elegant or refined, Dench said she wound up looking like “a great big oran...
