Julia Louis-Dreyfus revived Selina Meyer, her beloved character from Veepto help say farewell to Stephen Colbert on The Late Show. The actress, appearing in support of her new film The Sheep Detectivesread a series of lines as Selina, much to the surprise of Colbert. “People have been coming on this show recently to sing your praises and give you gifts,” Louis-Dreyfus explained. “And you know how much I love you. I really do. I wanted to sort of add to the chorus to boost you along to whatever brilliant thing you do next. And since I know you're a huge…
If you needed more reason to be excited for the second season of The StudioBryan Cranston teased an apparently crazy scene he filmed with Madonna for the HBO show. During an interview with Access HollywoodCranston suggested that the scene is so wild that viewers will be staring in shock at the TV. “In this next season of the studio, I do something in front of Madonna,” Cranston said. “In a truth or dare test, and it's a dare. And I do something that will either raise my street cred very high or destroy my career. It's one of the two.…

Mentre Vienna si prepara a lustrare il maestoso Wiener Stadthalle, già sede dell’edizione 2015, l’Eurovision Song Contest 2026 si presenta come controverso. Il traguardo della 70ª edizione mette a nudo la fragilità strutturale dell’European Broadcasting Union (Ebu): con soli 35 paesi al via, il concorso registra l’affluenza più bassa dal 2003. L’organizzazione, curata dall’emittente austriaca ORF dopo la vittoria di JJ a Basilea nel 2025, si trova a gestire un’emorragia diplomatica senza precedenti che potrebbe essere solo l’inizio di una crisi insanabile.Il calendario prevede tre appuntamenti, tutti trasmessi alle ore 21: prima semifinale martedì 12 maggio; seconda semifinale giovedì 14…
Greece, Finland, Belgium, Sweden, Moldova, Israel, Serbia, Croatia, Lithuania and Poland are the top 10 finalists of the Eurovision Song Contest 2026, the first semi-final of which took place last night in Vienna. To these countries we must add Sal Da Vinci for Italy and Sarah Engels for Germany who performed yesterday and who, being part of the so-called Big 4, directly advanced to Saturday's final without being subjected to the judgment of the public and national juries.Following the preferences of the juries and televoting, Portugal, Georgia, Montenegro, Estonia and San Marino, which was represented by Senhit and Boy George…
Every fan has a different way of describing the absolutely bonkers music that Angel Marcloid makes as Fire-Toolz. Her songs are effortlessly virtuosic and unapologetically epic, built like a web woven by a caffeinated spider, as she screeches over fidgety riffs and dazzling synth runs. Some might call it vaporwave; for others, it’s primarily black metal, or jazz fusion. Here’s my take on it: Fire-Toolz is progressive metal, an internet-brained update on bands like Queensrÿche and Dream Theater, whose albums are like novels for a certain kind of nerdy metalhead. On her Warp debut Lavender Networks, Marcloid runs with these…
When Grace Ives appears on NME’s computer screen from her San Francisco hotel room, head framed by an untidy halo of pastel pink hair, it’s a few days after some big news has been shared with the world. The former bedroom pop artist and current indie-pop darling will open for Olivia Rodrigo in 2027, getting her first taste of arena crowds at already sold-out shows in Stockholm, Amsterdam, Munich and London next March and April. Right now, she’s feeling “pretty ecstatic”, she beams, her eyes looking off into the distance as a grin paints her face. “It feels like the…
After completing the promotional run for their last album, 2017’s Hug of Thunder, Broken Social Scene locked into a years-long nostalgia circuit. The Toronto collective celebrated the 20th anniversary of You Forgot It in People with an extended tour, a Record Store Day reissue, a collection of covers by the younger generation they influenced, a graphic novel reimagining the LP, and a live album recorded in 2003; then came a broader compilation of B-sides and rarities, and a full-blown documentary about the band’s early years. Despite saturating themselves in the past, Broken Social Scene never bothered with the pervasive question…
Non è un’operazione nostalgia. Non c’è alcuna patina celebrativa, nessuna distanza museale. I brani vengono suonati come materia viva, instabile, aperta. Non è nemmeno un tributo, nel senso più prevedibile del termine. Quello che accade quando salgono sul palco i Beat è qualcosa di più sottile e, insieme, più radicale: la riattivazione di un codice. Un linguaggio che sembrava archiviato nella storia del rock come parentesi crimsoniana anni ’80 e che invece torna a pulsare, teso, nervoso, attuale.All’inizio degli anni ’80 i King Crimson avevano già cambiato pelle più volte. Ma con la trilogia Discipline (1981), Beat (1982) e Three…
From classical to rock, musicians tune instruments to a standard frequency. For at least 80 years it has been 440 Hz, which defines the frequency of A above middle C, with the other notes being tuned accordingly. However, more and more artists in various genres are questioning this standard by preferring 432 Hz tuning. It is only slightly lower and yet for them it makes all the difference in the world.Radiohead's Ed O'Brien became interested in the topic a dozen years ago, when he was at the Glastonbury festival. «There I had a stimulating chat about the ancient solfeggio scale…
