As the portable audio arms race heats up, brands are stuffing more features than ever into tiny earbuds. Many premium options offer Dolby or spatial audio, Apple and Samsung have added live-translation functionality, and there are some wacky features like the ability to use tap controls as a camera shutter. But even premium earbuds sometimes lag in an essential department — call quality. That’s why Anker’s Soundcore sub-brand has made crystal-clear calls a central part of the appeal…

Last year, Kasher Quon dropped a music video that uses the Detroit scam rapper’s ridiculously vivid and sometimes offensive punchlines as prompts for a batshit AI cartoon. In “Transported,” a dude with a small afro has a shaking fit at a liquor store counter as a group of Asian caricatures watch him in confusion (“Yo’ bum ass mad the liquor store just ran out of beer”) and a balding Italian man yells at his pizza boy for flashing money into his phone camera on the job (“Shouldn’t be posting banks on the ’Gram if you work at Happy’s, he at…

Here comes one of those pieces of news that you never want to give… Lo Spirit of Milan is forced to close.

Organisers of Primavera Sound have issued a statement after a number of performances were cancelled last night due to severe weather conditions, and both Massive Attack and Oklou have shared updates with fans after the chaotic opening day at the festival.

I mean, it’s only fair, right? If there is going to be a whole slew of rebooted slasher-flick sequels — your Scream Nos. 6 & 7, your I Know What You Did Last Summer No. 4 — hitting multiplexes like a plague of locusts, why not bring back the parody series that ran more or less parallel to those movies?

Why can’t every other…

The world has caught Kylie fever all over again. The new Netflix documentary Kylie is more than just a celebrity portrait — it’s a tribute to the bizarrely unkillable allure of Kylie Minogue. Stars come and go, but somehow Kylie has kept shimmying on forever. That isn’t how it’s supposed to go for dance-floor princesses—especially the ones who blew up in the Eighties, just one of the decade’s countless disposable big-hair disco dollies. It makes no sense that this Australian soap star got so famous in the first place, or that she became a hipster fave, but for her to…

Bob Dylan kicked off his 2026 summer tour Thursday night in Troutdale, Oregon, and he stunned his most hardcore followers fans near the end of the night, and surely left the rest of the crowd baffled, when he broke out the Basement Tapes extreme deep cut “Baby, Won't You Be My Baby” for the first time since recording the original with the Band in the basement of Big Pink back in 1967. “Baby, Won't You Be My Baby” wasn't included on the official release of The Basement Tapes in 1975, and was only known to bootleg collectors until 2014, when…
