Willie Nelson is speaking up against the ongoing construction of data centers across the United States. The musician released a statement on social media condemning the “loud, water thieving, light polluting” hubs that are “invading our land.” Nelson wrote that he hails from the Texas town of Abbott and he still has “home there with farmed land where I can still see stars at night. And now our community, like many others, needs to fight against data centers invading our land.” “The last thing we need is a loud, water thieving, light polluting, data center anywhere near our town (or…

Evan Rachel Wood isn’t feeling the excitement of the long-awaited Practical Magic sequel. The actress said she was “sad” not to be asked to reprise her role from the original 1998 film. “It is sad, because we bonded with that cast so much as children, and so to miss out on the opportunity to look at that cast and look at that house as an adult and see the history in our eyes, it’s something that can’t be faked,” Wood told Entertainment Tonight this week. “I’m sad that doesn’t get to exist, especially for the fans.” In the original movie, based…

Noah Kahan has slammed the Trump administration for using his single ‘American Cars’ without permission. It comes after the White House posted a series of Instagram photos depicting Donald Trump‘s visit to General Motors’ flagship test site in Michigan which was soundtracked to Kahan’s single. After he was alerted to his music being used, Kahan hit back in the comments section of the post, writing “Would never approve of my music being used in support of you or this administration.” Noah Levine, who co-wrote ‘American Cars’ with Kahan, also left an angry comment adding: “You fat fuck this song isn’t for…

There’s not a rapper I’ve texted more friends about this year than Fox BD. The one-minute-older twin brother of the popular YTB Fatt from West Memphis, Arkansas, floated onto my radar last summer with Eat, Sip, Shxt, Studio—more for the Devin the Dude-style album cover of him taking a dump than the music—but took off for real in January with Suxh an Asshole, one of the funniest and best rap mixtapes of the year. Landing somewhere between peak Rio Da Yung OG madness and Rylo Rodriguez braindumps, he’s got a flair for out of pocket yet oddly personal punchline rap…

The singer cut her Denver show after just three songs Megan Moroney was forced to abruptly end her show on Tuesday night in Denver due to an unspecified illness. The singer-songwriter was performing at the Ball Arena when she ended the concert after just three songs. “That was the hardest decision I've ever had to make & I'm so sorry to cancel the show tonight,” Moroney wrote on Instagram Stories. “I never ever will give you guys a show that is not 100% and by song 3 I knew that I wasn't capable of giving that to you guys tonight.…

The spoken word continues Eddie BrockAfter Act I: Confession it's time to Act II: Anger. If Act I: Confession was built on the admission of fragility and internal dialogue, Act II: Anger represents the moment in which that suffering changes shape. There is no longer passive introspection: the accumulated frustration turns into an indictment against the environment, the music industry and, at times, against himself. The text of Act II: Anger I've been getting slapped around for 15 yearsyou think they scare me3 assholes doing their homeworkall the doors closed in my face broke my noseevery time inside the housemore…

Five years have elapsed since Shannon Lay’s last album of original songs, and in the interim, the Los Angeles musician has been studying the proverbial blade. With 2023’s Covers Vol. 1, she sought new terrain in a set of classics that some might consider untouchable: She applied her smoky, whispered-secret timbre to Elliot Smith’s “Angeles” and pulled the Velvet Underground’s “I’m Set Free” from the cosmos to the meadow. She reinvented the classics, and now she’s reinvented her sound, journeying from earthy folk to songs that leapfrog across influences. Past the Veil trades the intimate production and sparse instrumentation of…

Alli Logout and Margo XS might seem to occupy opposite sides of the cultural spectrum. The former is the frontperson for New Orleans-based electronic post-queercore band Special Interest, a firecracker performer who can channel fury and sexuality onstage like few of their punk peers (I once saw them javelin a broken mic stand into a festival crowd with terrifying velocity). The latter is one of pop music’s rising producers, with a 2026 Grammy nomination for her work on Zara Larsson’s girlie-pop juggernaut “Midnight Sun,” and the executive producer of Kim Petras’ most recent album and subsequent club rebrand. Logout and…

Lots of rappers call themselves students of the game, but not all of them actually like to study. I get it—if you’re wary of overworking a verse or belaboring a reference, the mercurial energy of a marathon studio session or a hanging-mic freestyle is probably a safer bet. Not for ZayALLCAPS. The multi-dimensional California musician’s best trick is blurring the line between play and professionalism, rawness and rigor. “The medium itself is the artform,” he raps on his new LP, My Uncle Told Me Some Real Ass Sh*t on the Phone Yesterday. “It’s habits I formed.”Zay’s fourth album in as…
