Listening to Lost Pieces, I realized that I am done with the stock-in-trade of the record reviewer: genre. Jazz is how Youn Sun Nah is usually categorized. Yet, from her debut singing with the Korean Symphony Orchestra, she has inhabited more styles with her clear, quietly powerful voice than it would be sensible to list
What To Know Marie Osmond announced hat her son Matthew is married, sharing photos and a wedding video. Fans and followers congratulated the family in the comments. Osmond, who has eight children, expressed her happiness over the occasion while enjoying a trip with her husband, Steve Craig. Marie Osmond just revealed her son Matthew’s marriage
Ahh, the 1970s. It gave us regrettable ubiquity like avocado-green kitchen appliances, the gas-guzzling Oldsmobile Cutlass, the reverse-heeled Earth Shoe, fondue pots, shag carpet, leisure suits, waterbeds, mullets, and a brand of soft-in-the-head and softer-on-the-ears rock music that was a 360-degree turn from the prior decade. It was a laundry list of sins that cultural
Twenty years after Fashion Bomb Daily first started chronicling style, the brand threw the party to prove it: the 6th annual Bomb Fashion Show, presented by Bask & Lather Co., Belo and Co Records, and Beyond the Bleacherz filled the room with star power, fashion, and energy. The evening brought together style, music, and community
May is a month of long-awaited returns. In the month’s best metal, stalwarts of the old-school death metal ethos, Funebrarum, return after 17 years, still radiating the same cryptic and decadent stench. On the genre’s more primal side, Necroccultus also return two decades after their excellent debut, Encircling the Mysterious Necrorevalation, with a frenzied and
When I first set out to compile a list of new books by Latine authors to kick off Latin Heritage Month (September 15-October 15), I had a mind to include a variety of genres. But, being a seasonal reader who is currently reveling in all the spooky and deliciously gothic releases coming out this month,
Time to break out the Kleenex: these are romance books that will make you cry. I stand by the belief that in the bounds of romance, with a Happily Ever After (HEA) guaranteed, sadness is cathartic. Readers know that no matter what characters go through during the novel, by the end, they will be loved
While I’ve spent the last decade writing and reading all things crime books for the Unusual Suspects newsletter, I’ve never stopped reading all the other genres. I love mysteries and thrillers, but my first love will always be stories, and I never want to miss a great one by remaining boxed into only one genre
Is it fair to describe Will Maclean’s Solace House as an off-campus novel? It arrives as one of the year’s most anticipated works of horror, following on from Maclean’s debut, the widely admired lockdown hit The Apparition Phase (2020). Solace House contains themes that will be familiar to fans of stories centering on young people
Everything must change. That’s a cliché, but it is true. Nothing stays the same. The theme of Teddy Thompson’s latest release, his first full-length album of original material in six years, plays on transformation. Ironically, he doesn’t sound that much different from the way he did on his earlier albums. He still has the same
Lil Durk was acquitted of all charges Friday after a three-week trial where prosecutors accused him of orchestrating a murder-for-hire plot and defense lawyers attacked the credibility of the government’s cooperating witnesses, calling them admitted killers who implicated the Grammy-winning rapper to avoid life sentences. The musician, born Durk Banks, hung his head and started
Until recently, my personal familiarity with the music of Phillip Golub was limited to two brilliant, unique records he made on Joseph Branciforte’s forward-thinking label, greyfade. Filters (2022) is a hypnotic collection of loops for solo piano, while Loop 7 (2025) is an extended piece created with midi-controlled Disklavier pianos. A move from those concepts
Tonight is The Bomb Fashion Show! I’ve been so busy preparing that I’ve fallen behind with posting myself. But my NYFW officially kicked off with one of my favorites, Christian Siriano. The team was kind enough to sit me next to icons like Brandy, Tiffany Haddish, Whoopi Goldberg, and Billy Porter: For the occasion, I
Radiohead’s Ok Computer was labelled a progressive rock album in certain quarters, a label that likely made frontman Thom Yorke uneasy, who turned to more ambient textures throughout the 21st century. Bandmate Ed O’ Brien’s Blue Morpho, on the other hand, is unapologetically proud of the genre: of the seven tunes here, only three keep
Former First Lady Michelle Obama attended the 25th anniversary commemoration of the September 11 attacks at the National September 11 Memorial & Museum alongside her husband, former President Barack Obama.

Reanimator Academy: Blu ray review by Matt Boiselle If you’re going into Reanimator Academy expecting another Re-Animator, stop right there. This is something completely different — and that’s exactly what makes it such a fun little piece of SOV insanity.

In 2020, Nolan Nunes, live bassist for Ghostmane, formed If I Die First alongside emo rappers and post-hardcore royalty. Their mission was simple: reignite the pop screamo flame. The genre’s convergence of nasally emo-pop-punk vocals and melodies; screamo screams and dissonance; and metalcore breakdowns totally defined post-hardcore in the early 2000s. The foundational works of
For one weekend, Sept 18-20, Brooke Smith, the actress who played victim Catherin Martin in the five-time Academy award winning film, The Silence of the Lambs, will return to “Buffalo Bill’s House,” to meet fans to celebrate the 35thanniversary of the film.

The fourth album by singer-songwriter Maya Hawke, Maitreya Corso, includes a track called “Slacker in the Rye”, a title that parodies Hawke‘s self-professed fear: that she would become a modern-day Holden Caulfield, needlessly cynical about her privileged circumstances.
