“It’s that old trope, that musicians want to be comedians, and comedians want to be rock stars,” Robby Hoffman says. We’re talking about her comedy special, Robby Hoffman: Wake Up, which was produced by John Mulaney and was a breakout hit on Netflix when it aired in December 2025. Today, it also drops as an album from the legendary indie label Secretly Canadian, available in digital format as well as a limited run of signed vinyl. (Find out where to order here.) For a diminutive Jewish dyke (her word) from Montreal, Hoffman has an ineffable swagger — it’s something in…
Writer-director Megan Park may have created the runaway hit of the summer with the teen drama Sterling Point, which captures all of Gen Z’s messiness to a T. So how is she celebrating her success? She’s trapped in bed with a busted foot. “Funny enough, I broke my toe at the premiere of the show. And then because my toe’s all messed up, I was walking funny and twisted my ankle. So now the whole foot is just done,” Park says by Zoom from her bed in California. “It’s not the easiest to carry around a two-year-old like this,” the…

Usually, Wednesdays and Thursdays are seen as warm-up days, where festivalgoers can head to the site and set up for things kicking off on Friday and running until Sunday each August bank holiday weekend. In the report last month from BBC News,…

Throughout her career, Grimes has been a frontrunner among Western artists in appreciating and collaborating with East Asian pop acts. Over the years, she’s woven herself into K-pop lore by interviewing aespa and guesting on LOONA sub-unit yyxy’s ‘Love4eva’, and shown love to Taiwan by enlisting 潘PAN on ‘Art Angels’ track ‘Scream’.

On ‘Beyond Borders Vol.1: Emerge M♡de Miku’, Miku teams up with a range…
