Dawes Prep New LP, Share Playful Green Screen Video for New Song
Dawes will release their seventh studio album, Good Luck With Whatever, on Oct. 2 via Rounder Records. They previewed the LP with lead single “Who Do You Think You’re Talking To?,” a reliably steady rocker built on a new wave-y bass pulse, chiming piano, and cleanly arranged vocal harmonies. “Who do you think you’re talking to? / Is it the man that was here before me?” frontman Taylor Goldsmith sings on the track. “The one that wrecked your heart and walked? / ‘Cause if it is then I’ll let you talk / It’s clear that’s something you’re still working through / But who, who do you think you’re talking to?” They paired the tune with a playful video that makes creative use of green screen, showing the singer as he drives down the highway, pilots a plane into the clouds, launches into space, and...
Whatever Happened to the Movie Theme Park Ride?
Blockbuster Month is celebrating the true titans of the genre. All month long, you’ll read through a variety of features digging deep into the greatest hits of Hollywood, from popcorn classics to underrated gems. Today, Clint Worthington revisits a time when the theme park ride was often a part of the summer blockbuster experience. I was never a big theme park guy. Between my disdain for crowds and heat and the high-level anxiety I get around rollercoasters, suffice to say I never actively sought them out in my early years. Then my eighth-grade school band was invited (like many bands do) to play at Walt Disney World in high school, so off we went to Orlando for a week of chaperoned magic — both there and at Universal Studios Florida. Yes, the rides were fun, the merch was overpriced (albe...

On Saturday, July 18 two Black women were seen on video vandalizing the street art in front of Trump Tower 5th Avenue.

Socially-Distanced Nü-Metal Fest Actually Took Place This Weekend
A few weeks ago, the festival formerly known as Herd Immunity announced that it would be taking place July 16-18 in rural Wisconsin. Despite some bands dropping off the bill, the festival featuring Static-X, Saving Abel and ’90s rockers Sponge actually happened. “Things are going GREAT people are being very respectful.

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot G-Checks Press Secretary For Going Karen: “Watch Your Mouth”
Source: Chicago Tribune / Getty Tensions are higher and even higher when it comes to the political climate. One official made it clear she is not the one. One of the most polarizing White House officials got put in her place for talking slick. On Thursday, July 16 Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany addressed the eyesore that is the gun violence problem in Chicago. When discussing the issue she took a very clear shot at Mayor Lori Lightfoot calling her the “the derelict mayor of Chicago”. Additionally, she inferred that she was too incompetent to decelerate the murder rate. Brian Bennett, Senior White House Correspondent for Time Magazine reported on the jab via Twitter. This apparently got back to the former lawyer prompting her to respond to the shade. “Hey, Karen. Watch your mout...

Source: Buzzfeed / Tasty Every year we are reminded that all that glitters isn’t gold. One of the hottest Rap acts in the world is now screaming foul.

Semisonic Follow a Little Boy’s Adventure in ‘You’re Not Alone’ Video
After dropping their first song in two decades last month, Semisonic have just released the video for “You’re Not Alone.” “For the new Semisonic video, ‘You’re Not Alone,’ we began with memories of childhood in the woods,” frontman and songwriter Dan Wilson said in a statement. “Filmmaker Phil Harder creates a fable of the woods, the city, a distant beach, and a young boy who places a message in a bottle and sends it on a long journey.” Wilson explained that the visual was partially inspired by Richard Powers’ 2019 novel, The Overstory as well as painter Tomas Sanchez’s work. One of Sanchez’s paintings has been chosen as the art for the sleeve of the single. He also added that the video is also partly inspired by “profound isolation” that the global pandemic has brought everyone. “…the vid...

I’ve written many songs around religion. In the 2000s, I went back to the Catholic Church for three years – but I did not find my place. “I recognize the import...
Massive Attack Call for Global Change on Audiovisual EP Eutopia
Massive Attack is back with Eutopia, their first music since 2016’s Ritual. The three-track record was inspired by Thomas More’s 16th-century text Utopia.
