The Late Show will air its final episode on Thursday night Jimmy Kimmel urged fans not to tune into CBS after The Late Show comes to an end tonight.

«It's our pride, Fabio», says a neighbor from Marracash in the days of public housing. The boy remained there in the complex, raised a family, Barona is still his home. While Marracash, which they call there Still Fabio has come a long way, a long, long way, in a way that perhaps not even he himself is clear about. He who, inside, in the end, is Still the son of two Sicilian emigrants in Milan, the one who dealt drugs, stole scooters, but at the same time read books and wrote essays that predicted, even here unconsciously, his future.This is…

Earlier this year, Spencer Krug revived “I’ll Believe in Anything,” a 20-year-old classic by his former band Wolf Parade. He noted on Instagram that he’d tinkered with a solo piano version for years, but this, at last, was the one he felt he could stand behind. The breakthrough arrived shortly after the original song went viral from a needle-drop placement in the TV series Heated Rivalry, which drove new interest toward Krug’s catalog—a deep, murky place that includes Sunset Rubdown, Swan Lake, and his solo albums.“I’ll Believe in Anything” was a streamlined forerunner of the stomp-clap era, and Krug delivers…

On the eve of Stephen Colbert's final Late Showthe host invited Bruce Springsteen to the stage for a fitting performance of his protest song, “Streets of Minneapolis.” Earlier this year, the musician and the E Street Band live-debuted the track during their politically charged Land of Hope and Dreams tour. In a way that felt bittersweet, Colbert announced, “Ladies and gentlemen, Bruce Springsteen.” As his spotlight faded and focused on the singer, Springsteen made it clear why he was there for the late-night series penultimate episode. “I'm here in support tonight of Stephen, because you're the first guy in America…

For M.C. Taylor, music is a robust kind of miracle. Creating a song or just hearing one can replenish your spirits during hard times, and even an untested but enthusiastic band can instantly bind people together onstage and off. “Seneca (Time Is a Mother, Baby),” off Hiss Golden Messenger’s 12th studio album I’m People, opens in a small club somewhere out in America, where Taylor has waited in line for a local group that “played the songs alright.” The scene is reassuringly human, partly because live shows are one of the few spaces where AI has yet to gain a…

Fusing hip-hop with other genres comes with the inherent risk of the rap half being seen as a more accessible—or, even worse, respectable—version of itself. The phenomenon of rock fans, in particular, needing a gateway in order to respect rap is nearly as old as the genre itself; hilarious, considering it all derives from Black music in some way. But it’s only natural that some of the most vital sounds in the history of rap—a form largely founded on collaging other types of music—would come from mutual respect across divides. Run-DMC can play nice with Aerosmith; Linkin Park and JAY-Z…

In so many ways, the mid-2020s have just been a speedrun of the late aughts. A looming recession, neon pop-punk in the mainstream, the word “electroclash” appearing in press releases, and now Salem once again inching out of the shadows. Except this time around, the Michigan witch house sorcerers might actually claim the limelight. The same day they dropped a money-printing merch collab with Supreme that had Fred Durst reacting in the comments, Salem surprise-released Red Dragon, a new compilation of music that old fans mostly already know. The 31-track, 101-minute tome assembles many of the leaks and loosies that…

The host revealed the winner and loser of the fire-making competition before it aired Spoiler alert: Jeff Probst accidentally revealed the loser — and as a result, the winner — of a key challenge during the finale of Survivor 50 before the segment had a chance to air. After Aubry Bracco won the immunity challenge during Wednesday evening's finale, Bracco picked Rizo Velovic and Jonathan Young to hash it out in a fire-making competition. When CBS cut to Probst in front of a live audience in Los Angeles, the host appeared to mix up the production cues and mistakenly brought…
