President Donald Trump is aware of the panic over the possibility that one day we will all be ruled — or worse — by machines. But when asked directly about artificial intelligence, he doesn’t seem all that worried. On Monday, the president claimed that fears about AI-driven social collapse were a “HOAX,” later describing himself as the “Hoax Buster” and comparing AI skepticism to the “Global Warming Scam.” “Concerning AI, when, in the History of Business, did anyone see the Leaders of an Industry call for Regulation that, if strongly implemented, will drive them into oblivion and bankruptcy?” Trump wrote…
Members of X-Ray Spex, The Raincoats, The Slits are set to come together and form a new supergroup for a punk 50th anniversary festival coming to London. The new festival, dubbed Up Yours!

A centrepiece of…

Taylor Swift has made a surprise appearance at the 2026 Emmys, appearing alongside Mariska Hargitay for a Law & Order: SVU sketch. The 2026 edition of the awards ceremony was held at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles last night (Monday September 14), and saw Widow’s Bay, The Pitt, and DTF St Louis among the big winners. Hosted by Law & Order: SVU star Hargitay, there was a surprise appearance from Taylor Swift on the night, who popped up for a pre-taped sketch. In the skit, Hargitay’s character Olivia Benson worked alongside her team to help crack a pressing mystery…
Turnstile fans have started a new tradition while in the pit at some of their shows – playing Magic: The Gathering. The Baltimore hardcore giants are currently out on the road, joined by Clipse, Ceremony, Thundercat, Slayyyter, Hatebreed, Vince Staples and more at their headline dates across the US. Now, it appears that fans have come up with a new tradition, breaking out the famous trading card game Magic: The Gathering while in the mosh pit. Footage has been going viral of fans whipping out their cards and locking in with one another while the crowd is jumping around them…
There’s a very particular type of panic that swoops in once you hit your mid-twenties. It’s like you have no clue where the rest of your life is heading, and you’re somehow expected to act like an adult when you still feel like a teenager at heart. For Beabadoobee, that uncertainty has fuelled a blistering fourth album, ‘Pylon’. Inspired by the isolation, nostalgia, anger and romantic obsession that have coloured her last few years, Beatrice Laus has crafted her most forceful record yet. The title is a fitting analogy. Pylons are fixed points on a shifting landscape, carrying power across…
Dolly Parton was honoured at last night’s (September 14) Emmy Awards, with Sally Field and Reba McEntire paying tribute to the late country legend. News of Dolly’s death rocked the music world when it emerged last month. Though she had previously told fans she was dealing with some health issues that she “didn’t pay attention to” while looking after late husband Carl Dean, the public had no idea of her cancer diagnosis, which her sister later explained was because “she did not want people sad”. At the Emmys on Monday night, Reba McEntire performed an emotive tribute to Dolly with a cover…
‘Day And Night’ is, quite literally, an album of two halves. Carly Rae Jepsen has always been a prolific songwriter, but this time around, a full 15 years after her global breakthrough with ‘Call Me Maybe’, she’s finally surrendered to the “indulgence” of making a double album. Its 24 tracks (plus two more on the Japanese edition) are split evenly between a ‘Day’ side and a ‘Night’ side. What this idea lacks in originality – British Pop Idol singer Gareth Gates did the same thing on his 2003 LP ‘Go Your Own Way’ – it makes up for in conceptual…
After an iconic turn in 1994’s Beavis & Butt-Head: The Game, GWAR have announced their first gaming collaboration in more than 30 years. GWAR were Beavis & Butt-Head’s favourite band in the classic ‘90s cartoon and the video game spin-off saw the two teenage slackers desperately trying to get to a GWAR gig. Since then, the shock rockers’ music has appeared in 2009’s Guitar Hero 5 and Backyard Wrestling 2: There Goes The Neighborhood but now the heavy metal band have confirmed details of a brand new video game collab. GWAR will appear in the Antarctica Scumbags expansion for Mutant…
It was a moment Bright Eyes had worked towards for more than a year. Over 10,000 noughties indie-folk fans turned out to watch the Omaha group, led by Conor Oberst, perform their revered twin albums ‘I’m Wide Awake, It’s Morning’ and ‘Digital Ash In A Digital Urn’ at a specially staged, 21st anniversary show at New York’s Forest Hill Stadium. They got through half of it… and then the storm arrived. Promoters called the band off stage, pulled the concert, and told fans to get to safety before conditions worsened. For Oberst, it was painful deja vu. A concert weeks…
