He cited the record’s melancholic tone as a reason why it never left the studio, explaining in last May’s aforementioned blog post: “Unlike any other, ‘Toast’ was so sad that I couldn’t put it out. I just skipped it and went on to do another album in its place. I couldn’t handle

Sadly, the list of high-profile projects almost made by Neill Blomkamp is starting to rival the list of high-profile projects he’s actually made. At one point or another, Blomkamp was attached to films such as “Halo,” an “Alien” sequel, a “RoboCop” reboot, and more.

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic “What is that?” Neil Young asked toward the end of his solo-tour-opening show Friday night at the Ford amphitheater in the Hollywood hills, referring to a strange, seemingly distant but quite audible sound that occasionally punctuated his songs or commentary. “Are you hearing that all night?” This was not an audio hallucination; the fairly intimate crowd of 1,200 was privy to it, too, and some had been looking up earlier to see if it might be a mighty wind causing a whoosh in the scenically placed palm trees over the stage. It was not. “It’s One Direction!” someone in the audience finally shouted — not quite getting it right, but on point in alluding to the source of the noise, intermittent crowd roars from a Louis Tomlinson concert at the Hollywood Bowl, just on the other side of the 101. “How do you like my new band?” Young finally quipped, before getting back to business, resigning himself to the stray sound effects.

Todd Spangler NY Digital Editor Super-geek Felicia Day’s “Third Eye,” an audio original for Audible billed as a comedic love letter to the fantasy genre, is getting an assist from author Neil Gaiman. The scripted fantasy comedy is written and created by actor, producer, writer and streamer, Day (“The Guild,” Geek & Sundry) and features Gaiman (“The Sandman”) as The Narrator. “Third Eye” will have “an abundance of iconic geek and gaming culture Easter eggs cleverly woven throughout the series,” according to Audible. Alongside Day, “Third Eye” stars Sean Astin (“The Lord of the Rings”), LilyPichu (Offline TV), Wil Wheaton (“Ready Player One”), London Hughes (“The Netflix Afterparty”), Danny Pudi (“Mythic Quest,” “Community”), Alan Tudyk (“Resident Alien”), Hudson Yang (“Fresh Off the Boat”) and Christopher Judge (“God of War”).
Ed Meza @edmezavar Behrooz Karamizade’s Iranian drama “Empty Nets,” which has its international premiere in the Crystal Globe Competition at the Karlovy Vary Film Festival, offers a sobering look at the increasingly difficult, sometimes hopeless lives of young working-class people in Iran as they strive for better lives. Set on Iran’s northern Caspian Sea coast, the film follows Amir (Hamid Reza Abbasi), a young man who, desperate to marry his girlfriend Narges (Sadif Asgari), seeks work at a local fishery with the hope of earning enough money for an appropriate dowry and winning over her upper-class parents. Once there, illicit opportunities present themselves and he is soon drawn into the dangerous but lucrative business of sturgeon poaching and the black market caviar trade.
Taylor Swift is asking her fans to not cyberbully people, including those she may be referencing in her music. During the Minneapolis stop of her Eras Tour on Saturday, Swift addressed the crowd before playing her song, "Dear John," which is widely accepted to be about her ex-boyfriend, John Mayer.
Jem Aswad Executive Editor, Music Young Thug — who has been awaiting trial in an Atlanta jail for over a year — may not belong in an orange jumpsuit, but he’ll probably reinvent the attire at some fashion show when he gets out. Thugger is one of the top rappers in the game, and yet he’s been sidelined by allegations from Georgia’s Fulton County that his Young Stoner Life label is actually a criminal gang. Thug’s response: a surprise album, as he awaits jury selection, that doubles as a kind of opening statement, not for the “peers” to be selected by the court, but for his friends, fans and family rooting for him from the sidelines. Arriving just a week after “Gift & a Curse,” the new album from labelmate and former associate Gunna — who was also indicted but pleaded guilty to one count of racketeering and has been freed — “Business Is Business” is Thug’s first solo release since 2021’s “Punk,” and since his was incarcerated. Despite its “Godfather”-ish title, the album reflects the divides in the YSK camp: BSlime, Lil Gotit and Yak Gotti are the only featured crew members, Gunna is nowhere to be seen, and Wheezy has three production credits on the album but none on a “Gift & a Curse.” Consequently, it’s missing the camaraderie that has been a hallmark of Thug’s career, from “Best Friend” to the YSL collaborative album, “Slime Language 2” — although it does feature guest verses from Travis Scott, Future, 21 Savage, Lil Uzi Vert and more.
Gwen Stefani famously sang about feeling “hella good” during her time with No Doubt — but the group wasn’t immune to pressures of making a hit album.
I watch Gregg Araki's The Doom Generation for the first time last week and, not five minutes into the '90s queer Bonnie & Clyde & Clyde thriller, we got the first of two Slowdive needle drops. For the English group, it's one of the perks of being a leader in the emergence of shoegaze and dream-pop — their history can be traced through the underground in some unexpected and very cool ways.
Slowdive are back with a new single, and an upcoming album.Today (June 20), the band have released a new single, ‘Kisses’. The track – which was first announced last week – is taken off their upcoming album, ‘Everything Is Alive’.
For the final season of Barry, cinematographer Carl Herse had the opportunity to work alongside only one director, Bill Hader, for the entire season. After an escape from prison midseason, the story jumps forward 10 years, which presented an interesting challenge for Herse, who needed to visually “express that time passed, but still make the show feel like Barry.” Their solution was to focus on Barry (Hader) and Sally (Sarah Goldberg), along with their son, rather than all of the major characters, and build out from there. Although ending the show is bittersweet for Herse, he says he couldn’t be happier with how it ends.
Slowdive have revealed that they will be releasing new music next week.On their social media channels, the band said a new track called ‘Kisses’ will arrive on Tuesday (June 20).They also shared the single’s artwork and a link to a YouTube video which contains a countdown clock to the song’s release.
