Kleefeld Art Museum at Cal State Long Beach, which has undergone an ambitious renovation and expansion, will open next month with exhibits by two important and influential abstract artists: Linda Besemer, who identifies as queer, and Mark Bradford, who identifies as gay.

After watching her family drama CODA break ground this morning as both the first Apple Original, and the first feature led by a predominantly deaf cast to land a Best Picture Oscar nomination, writer-director Sian Heder caught up with Deadline to discuss the meaning behind this recognition from the Film Academy, and upcoming projects including a biopic on disability rights activist Judy Heumann.

@EncantoMovie on this week's #Hot100:#1, We Don't Talk About Bruno#8, Surface Pressure#20, The Family Madrigal#31, What Else Can I Do?#38, Dos Oruguitas#50, Waiting On A Miracle#74, All of You#100, Colombia, Mi Encanto (debut)“Bruno” has now outperformed “A Whole New World” from “Aladdin” by Peabo Bryson and Regina Belle, which was the first Walt Disney Records song to reach No. 1 on the Hot 100 in 1993. Meanwhile, the “Encanto” soundtrack topped the Billboard 200 albums chart for a fourth week, and its third consecutive week.The last time a soundtrack and a song have topped the Billboard 200 and Hot 100 simultaneously for more than one week was in 2003 with “8 Mile” and Eminem’s “Lose Yourself,” which went on to win Best Original Song at the Oscars, according to Billboard.

Erin Napier has called out the rude comments she’s been seeing on her Instagram account.

Chris Willman Music WriterAnyone who’s had a longtime preset for a rock or pop oldies station is well aware of the generational shift: “Oldies” now almost entirely means the late ’70s and especially 1980s and ’90s, with rarely a pre-1970 tune to be found that isn’t the Beatles. Even given the recurring resurgence of the Fab Four, you’re still more likely to hear “Hungry Like the Wolf,” “Here Comes the Rain Again” or even “Hey Ya” than “Hey Jude” on an oldies station.So maybe it should be no surprise that the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame should be subject to the same gravitational forces, more interested in artists that still have active careers, or as active as the 25-years-since-first-commercial-recording eligibility rule allows, rather than the dearly departed or semi-retired. Mind you, early-rock wild cards could still be found regularly sneaking onto the ballot until a decade or so ago… only to usually be rejected by the wider contingent of voters in favor of artists who still walk and rock among us.

Ana Navarro, 50, didn’t hold back during a “Hot Topics” discussion about Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi’s grave warning to Olympic athletes during a Friday February 4 episode of The View. The frequent guest co-host passionately explained that she felt like the House Speaker’s advice to athletes to not speak out against the Chinese government was “un-American.”

Riverside Festival has today revealed the second wave of artists joining the bill for what is set to be an unforgettable 2022 event.

Meek Mill has aired a number of grievances against his label Atlantic Records, saying they were delaying the release of his new music against his wishes.He said he was “blackballed” by the label during the release of his last album ‘Expensive Pain’ and accused them of “outsmarting young black kids taking advantage and calling it business.”Meek also said that Atlantic cut him out of managing Roddy Ricch while he was in jail after he introduced the label to the rapper, saying it was the “same thing” that had happened with him and Rick Ross years earlier. NME has reached out to Atlantic Records for a response.“So look I made Atlantic records 100’s of millions and let them rape me out out [sic] Roddy a artist they came to me about in jail,” Meek wrote.

There has been a flurry of social media posts overnight from artists and labels hitting out at a music NFTs website called HitPiece that is seemingly promoting non-fungible tokens linked to all kinds of music, but without the permission of the artists or labels who made and released that music. The band Eve 6 were among those to shout about it all on Twitter, delivering that common legal demand: “Cease and desist motherfuckers”.It’s not 100% clear what HitPiece is selling and since the backlash began on social media its website has gone down.

website currently shows hundreds of what appear to be active auctions for NFTs tied to artists’ albums and songs, from prominent artists such as the Beatles, Taylor Swift and Bob Dylan to smaller independent acts.Several musicians who said they did not consent to their music purportedly being auctioned off as NFTs on the site slammed HitPiece on social media on the night of February 1. “Hey you stupid fucks,” tweeted Sadie Dupuis of Speedy Ortiz and Sad13.

Encanto‘s “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” has become the first Disney song in 29 years to reach the number one spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart!

Chris Willman Music Writer“We Don’t Talk About Bruno,” the surprise hit off the “Encanto” soundtrack, has gone where even “Let It Go” couldn’t: It’s become the first song from a Disney movie to reach No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart since “A Whole New World” from “Aladdin” did it in 1993.It joins the “Encanto” album itself as a chart-topper, as the animated film’s soundtrack remains atop the Billboard 200 chart for the third time in the last four weeks.Some other stats Billboard points out: “Bruno,” solely penned by Lin-Manuel Miranda, becomes the first Hot 100 chart-topper to have been written by a solo writer in more than four years, Ed Sheeran’s “Perfect” having been the last. It’s the first time a Miranda tune has topped the chart.

Everyone has their special fuzzy memories of their favorite smashes over the years – but now and then, the artists themselves don’t exactly feel the same way about their own music.

Roblox vice president and head of music Jon Vlassopulos believes some artists will be able to “launch and sustain successful careers virtually” without ever having to play real-life gigs.Speaking to NME about the future of virtual gigs, Vlassopulos said: “As we continue to push the limits of what music can be on Roblox, we see an opportunity for new forms of entertainment to emerge.“There will be new virtual music products and services for fans to buy and some artists will be able to launch and sustain successful careers virtually without ever having to play a real world show,” he explained.“We believe the metaverse will democratize the music industry, allowing any band or artist of any size to promote their music and connect with their fans directly. They can set up their profile and start spending time on the platform building their virtual Roblox fanbase,” he continued.
