He had fallen from MSG’s 300 level, which sits on an elevated platform above the stadium floor. The man, identified by police as Paul Kueker, was taken to Bellevue Hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.In a statement to CBS, Madison Square Garden said: ”While we await the police report on the tragedy at last night’s Goose concert, we are deeply saddened by the…

Miky Woodz, one of Puerto Rico's most distinct trap rappers, has a style that's totally his own: As an artist, his flow owes more to hip-hop, due to his bar-heavy verses and inspired rapid fire rhymes. His look also stands out due to his unique and frothy red beard, and colorful tattoos across his entire torso. Oh yeah, he also had a stint as a pro basketball player. This past Friday, he added one more thing to his resume by dropping his newest album, Everything RiaL. He's released albums nearly every year and consistently collaborated with some of music's biggest…

The mayor of San Antonio has called for the cancellation of Kanye West's concert at the city's Alamodome, scheduled for the Fourth of July. Weeks after Florida senator Rick Scott urged the Tampa Sports Authority to cancel West's upcoming concerts at Raymond James Stadium, San Antonio Gina Ortiz Jones similarly lobbied against the rapper performing in the Texas city. “I support canceling the @kanyewest concert,” Jones wrote on social media. “Military City USA should not host someone with a record of hate speech and anti-Semitic comments in a city-funded facility like our Alamodome—not ever, and certainly not on July 4th,…

“Louder Than Love” or “Badmotorfinger”? This is the question we asked ourselves when choosing a Soundgarden album for Metalitalia's Bellissimi, and the answer is not at all… Daniel D`Amico for SANREMO.FM

Indice Il decennio sbagliato 15 album prog anni 80 da rivalutare Il decennio sbagliato Per il prog, gli anni Ottanta cominciarono quasi come una smentita. Il genere che nel decennio precedente aveva trasformato l’album in un territorio espanso – suite, concept, virtuosismi, copertine visionarie, ambizioni sinfoniche – si trovò a fare i conti con un paesaggio sonoro che si stava ridisegnando rapidamente attorno a formati più brevi, suoni più sintetici, ritmi più diretti. Non sparì, naturalmente, ma perse terreno presso i pubblici più giovani, che guardavano altrove, e presso le radio commerciali e le televisioni, che dettavano nuove regole. Quello…

Radiohead’s Jonny Greenwood has likened his Israeli gigs being cancelled due to boycotts to “taking books off shelves”. In May 2024 and again in March 2025, Greenwood played in Tel Aviv with Israeli musician Dudu Tassa, incurring criticism from the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement. A pair of UK performances by the duo, scheduled for June 2025 in Bristol and London, were later cancelled following pressure from pro-Palestinian campaigners. The Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (PACBI) said those cancellations followed “peaceful BDS pressure”, citing what it called the artists’ “clear and irrefutable links to whitewashing Israel’s genocide in Gaza that has killed at…

Last week, the Atlantic debuted a new AI detection tool that allows artists to see, with a brief name search, if their music appears in data sets used to train AI music generators. Created by researcher Alex Reisner, the tool draws on four different sets available to AI developers. These sets, which Reisner emphasizes is not comprehensive, encompasses over 21 million songs. They pull from the catalogs of massive stars like Bad Bunny, Taylor Swift, and Beyoncé, and smaller, independent artists alike.In the days following the tool’s launch, multiple musicians have expressed anger and concern over discovering their work in…

A dissing as a full-blown rapper, applied to songwriting. Not the first, though. In 1976, in fact, Francesco Guccini had already transformed a song into a showdown with an opponent. In “L'avelenata” he had directly called into question the critic Riccardo Bertoncelli, guilty of having panned “Rooms of daily life” and having dismissed him as “a finished artist”: “What can I tell you? Go and do, there will always be, you know, a failed musician, a pious man, a theorist, a Bertoncelli or a priest who shoots bullshit”, the Maestrone had ruled in the final verses of his piece. In…

Soulwax have postponed their appearance at London’s Southbank Centre tonight (June 21) due to “unforeseen circumstances”. The Belgian duo had been scheduled to play at the Royal Festival Hall as part of the Harry Styles-curated Meltdown Festival, with Pauli The PSM also on the bill. Tonight marks the final night of the programme, which kicked off on June 11.
