You know the old saying: Some things get better with age. That's exactly how we feel about Lego. The building toys were first introduced in 1949 and remain among the most popular toys you can buy today. Billions are spent on the plastic bricks every year, and Lego even reported sales rose 12% in 2025. And really, Lego is for everyone. My adult husband still asks for Lego sets on his Christmas list every year — except now…
Jason Eady just released a record full of original music, but it's not a record full of traditional Jason Eady country. The singer-songwriter, born in Mississippi but based in Texas for most of his career, is highly-regarded for his old-school country sound, mixing honky-tonk beats and acoustic ballads with aim-for-the-heart lyrics. When Eady recorded Tulsa Turnaroundhowever, he threw all that out the window. The 11-track album is Eady's tribute to the Tulsa Sound — a scene that mixes folk, blues, and rock that sprang up in the Oklahoma city in the 1960s and Eric Clapton embraced and popularized a decade…
“Cause we were never being boring/ We had too much time to find for ourselves”. Il chorus di “Being Boring”, una delle canzoni più apprezzate nel concerto dei Pet Shop Boys a Taranto, potrebbe essere il manifesto programmatico del Medimex tout court. Non annoiare mai, ma spostare l’asticella sempre più in là, protesi verso nuove sfide. Promosso da Puglia Culture nell’ambito delle azioni di Puglia Sounds, il Medimex, riuscito mix tra un festival e music conference, è arrivato alla sua sedicesima edizione, con un’identità sempre più consolidata. Anche se qualcuno ha inizialmente storto il naso quando a marzo sono stati…

Julia Holter isn’t finished with the themes of her 2024 LP Something in the Room She Moves just yet. The art-pop composer and singer-songwriter revealed she’s got a new album on the way (Materia, out August 21 via Domino) that functions as a companion record. Check out the single “Fantasy” and its Dicky Bahto-directed video below.“This song of seeming willful abandon was somehow the most laborious undertaking of the entire record—it took over a year and went through various transformations—and I love that contradiction,” Holter said in a statement about “Fantasy.” “It’s dance-y, it feels to me like a kind…
The Killers’ Brandon Flowers is hopping on the increasingly crowded country bandwagon. Thrasher, his first solo LP since 2015’s The Desired Effect, was recorded in Nashville; includes tassel-heavy cover art (see below); and features contributions from David Rawlings, pedal-steel virtuoso/longtime Garth Brooks collaborator Bruce Bouton; and harmonica player Charlie McCoy, best known for his work on multiple Dylan albums, including Nashville Skyline. Thrasher arrives August 21 via Island.“As I’ve gotten older, I’ve found my way back to my father’s music — ‘Country-Western’ (as he called it) — and discovered that the stories I carry really feel most at home in the…
Eight times a week, a miracle happens at Broadway's Broadhurst Theater — Andrew Lloyd Webber's famed musical Cats actually makes sense. Since its premiere in 1981, the musical has built a reputation for being notoriously nonsensical. Loosely based on TS Eliot's Old Possum's Book of Practical Catsthe show accelerates this state of confusion by adding in fantastical human-cat hybrid costumes. There's plenty of feline choreography, like crawling, meowing, and hissing. Oh, and there's also the plot following a community of junkyard pussycats competing in a talent show to decide who is allowed to die and be reborn in the Heaviside…
