Close to a month since announcing his new solo country record, Killers frontman Brandon Flowers is releasing the single, “Paradise.” The song will appear on Thrasher, due out Aug. 21. On the song, Flowers knows when to hold ’em and fold ’em as he spits out gambling puns over galloping banjo, keening steel guitar, and country-honkin’ harmonica.

The Rolling Stones have been very busy over the past year recording their new LP Foreign Tongues, and promoting it with a large slate of interviews and promotional appearances across Europe and North America. One thing they haven’t done since July 2024, however, is play even a single concert. European stadium dates were on hold in the summers of 2025 and 2026 — the dates even leaked out to the fan community— but they were both canceled at the last minute as rumors spread that Keith Richards wasn’t up for touring. This has been confirmed by both Mick Jagger and Richards…
Christopher Nolan's overall excellent adaptation of The Odyssey is many things, yet despite online rumors to the contrary, it is most certainly not “woke.” Anyone adapting a foundational text of all of Western literature risks rebuke; Homer's epic poem is too essential, the story perfectly crafted over centuries in an oral tradition before being written down.

Yes, the director surely knew he'd get some heat for casting Lupita Nyong'o as Helen of Troy and the trans actor Elliot…
