Let’s be honest: over the past 12 months, listening to a whole album or even an EP sometimes felt like simply too much effort. We’ve already highlighted the best that both of those formats had to offer in 2020, but to close off our 2020 Year in Review, it’s only fitting we round up the

On the same song, he imagines his grave––“either unmarked or engraved, hey, who’s to say?”––and muses about going “back where my brother went.” Dumile’s last verse on the album is a tear-jerking remembrance of the prayers and expensive leather-goods purchases the pair made together. “I keep a flick of you with the machete sword in

Foo Fighters have shared a new song called ‘No Son of Mine’. It’s the second single from their upcoming album Medicine at Midnight. Check it out below, along with a handwritten note from the band. “This is the kind of song that just resides in all of us and if it makes sense at the

Tackling a subject head-on can backfire. Directed by Craig Zobel (Compliance) from a script by Damon Lindelof and Nick Cuse, The Hunt pits liberal elites against conservative “deplorables.” Maybe the unluckiest movie of the past few years, it opened just as the pandemic shut down theaters after being pushed from its fall 2019 release date

MF DOOM, the legendary rapper and producer known for his intricate wordplay and signature mask, has passed away at the age of 49.

I guess we’re catching them a little older than four, but in similar ways, trying to timestamp some of the emotions they have at that age. I’d love to interview a four year old, see how they’re thinking and feeling, and then interview a 94 year old. And we as an audience and me as

With the COVID-19 pandemic significantly affecting the scale and scope of New Year’s Eve celebrations, Caribou‘s Dan Snaith has taken to Twitter to express his frustration at private companies trying to hire DJs to perform at their New Year’s Eve parties. “I was just offered $40k to DJ virtually for a private company on NYE,”

Nick Robinson is trying to answer a question until he loses his train of thought. “I might need to get some more coffee,” he says, before bursting out into laughter.

Lauren Maybery spoke about the upcoming Chvrches album, which is slated for release in spring 2021, in a recent interview with The Guardian.

Playing video games has become one of the popular hobbies of today’s young adults. They are being played in almost every household. And, the harmful effects of gaming surround a huge debate. But, like every other thing in life, there is also a good side attached to them. Video Games and Learning You might be

For the past nine ( ninety??) months, it’s been impossible for me to concentrate on any new content — especially if it’s dramatic in any way. Which is why I’ve spent most of my ample free time revisiting old, reliable faves–The Vampire Diaries, Mad Men, The Real Housewives of New York City, Nora Ephron films.

In Best Stuff of 2020, we listed a handful of our favorite coffee table books published this year. The ones that helped us get outside our four walls and refill our creative gas tanks.

While advertising has dropped by nearly half on some networks like ITV, advertisers are still keen to push a sale during a recession.

Instead, writer-director Sam Levinson turned in a quietly devastating hour of conversation between Zendaya’s Rue and her sponsor, the brilliant Colman Domingo, that treats addiction with a
