Kurt Vile’s perfect album isn’t by Neil Young or Dylan or Dinosaur Jr. or Pavement or any other similarly scraggly artist on his familiar roll call of influences.

Like so much hip-hop, Vile’s songs are so self-referential, so steeped in his own peculiar POV and singular slang, that they seem…
I think we are all aware that the diffusion of ambient music has reached worrying volumes in recent years; and a good part of the episodes remain forgettable anthologies of creaks scattered over long periods pad exhaust yourself with the excuse of contemplation or transcendental meditation – which then maybe those who do it really meditate, but those who listen to it end up thinking only of the list of their own petty daily chores (I forgot the basil again). But isn't that how Satie and Eno thought of it? And in some ways also John Cage, who preferred the…

vote8.0 Bands: LEX LEGION Duration: 00:34:36 Available from: 05/06/2026 Label: MNRK Heavy Streaming not yet available. The announcement of the birth of Lex Legion was accompanied by a communication campaign which, basically, presented them as a new supergroup, with musicians from historical bands such as Motörhead, Scorpions, King Diamond and Pagan's Mind.Formally everything is correct, but these high-sounding proclamations risk shifting the focus from what would really make the heartbeat of any classic metal fan accelerate. Lex Legion, in fact, are exactly the formation that gave life to two masterpieces such as “Them” and “Conspiracy”, together with His Majesty, King…
When taking the stage at Yaamava’ Resort and Casino in Highland, California, on Monday evening, Jessica Simpson took a moment to reflect on her more than eight years of sobriety with the audience. Before performing her unreleased song, titled “Give It All Away,” Simpson shared insight behind the inspiration for the new track and said that while she has come a long way, she’s still a “work in progress.” “I didn’t understand all of the traumas that I was holding onto. And it was really painful once I started searching in myself to find what I could reveal,” Simpson said.…

The Republican-led House voted on Wednesday to pull US forces from Iran As the Iran war enters its fourth month, the Republican-led House voted on Wednesday to end the war with Iran, with four Republicans backing Democrats in the push against President Donald Trump. The 215-208 bipartisan vote to adopt the war powers resolution is largely a symbolic congressional action, likely to be vetoed by Trump if passed in Congress. However, the strike points to resistance within the GOP and could pressure the president to change course in the military campaign he has repeatedly claimed will be over soon. “Following…
