On Saturday Night Live, host Will Ferrell and musical guest Paul McCartney played a couple of gibberish-speaking mechanics who end up taking some naive car owners for a ride. Ferrell begins by explaining to the owners (Mikey Day, Ashley Padilla) that their Rav4’s “sprog box” was shot, and that “creates camber.” He brings in mechanic Santiago (Marcello Hernandez), who explains further—first in nonsense English before transitioning to Spanish. “I’m sorry, what was that?” Padilla asks. “Spanish,” Ferrell says dryly, adding that the “sprunkbell is real tree-trunky.” He and Santiago demonstrate by making sexual noises. Ferrell then recommends that the couple…

Saturday Night Live‘s Weekend Update addressed Donald Trump‘s brief time in China this week, as well as FBI Director Kash Patel‘s reportedly excessive alcohol consumption habits. Trump’s trip to Beijing to meet with President XI Jinping was 14,000 miles in total, and his time on the ground was just 48 hours—an event “which historians are already calling, ‘Could’ve been an email,’” Colin Jost joked. “President Trump arrived in China, but instead of Xi Jinping, he was greeted by the country’s vice president, Han Zheng—or as Trump called him, ‘Xi Jinping,’” Jost added. Co-anchor Michael Che then riffed on how, at…

On the Season 51 finale of Saturday Night Livethe ghost of dead child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein delivered some bad news to his “dear friend” Donald Trump: they will forever be linked, no matter what the president does to try to distract Americans. Epstein (SNL host Will Ferrell) comes to the 79-year-old president in a dream during a midday Oval Office slumber, and the two proceed to do some catching up. When Trump (James Austin Johnson) informs him that his approval rating is in the 30s, Epstein is disgusted. “The 30s—gross!” he says. “Call me when it hits 17.” Trump…

vote7.0 Bands: PORT NOIR Duration: 00:49:07 Available from: 05/15/2026 Label: Inside Out Port Noir represent a 'young' and hyper-contaminated way of understanding the subject of progressive metal – progressive which in this case becomes a starting point, a primitive colouring, from which to branch out its own tumultuous sonic currents, arriving at a more or less happy synthesis (depending on the circumstances and perspectives of the listener) between bombastic metal, pop, electronics, alternative rock and various and possible melodic softness.A path that, in broad terms, takes inspiration from Leprous regarding the more purely metallic context and Muse on the more…

The band assembled in a cabin near Jamestown to start writing for the next record, and Merchant was dissatisfied. “I didn’t want to consult with other people,” she said. “I was tired of art by committee.” Not to mention that, in the cabin, the only person doing the dishes and rinsing out everyone’s beer cans for the recycling was the ostensibly famous lead singer—the only woman, natch. Before they started recording, she told the band she was going to leave. Never one to do anything impulsively, she gave them two years’ notice.And so from 1991 to 1992, throughout the difficult…

vote9.0 Bands: SARACEN Duration: 00:38:37 Available since: 01/10/1981 Label: Nucleus Records The temptation – typical of a posteriori analysis – to force the soul of the NWOBHM into a codified sound or aesthetic, made 'only' of street attitude and raw, galloping riffs disguised with studs and shiny leather, is always around the corner, but often leads one astray. The rediscovery of albums and bands from the British underworld from the period between the Seventies and Eighties, however, has given us a multifaceted and complex portrait of a phenomenon that is much less uniform than subsequent narrative would have us believe.…

vote8.0 Streaming not yet available. For anyone who has been hanging out on the Italian extreme scene since the early nineties or so, the moniker The Diabolic Obsession certainly rings a bell in the recesses of the mind: behind this new, disturbing project (structured in the form of a one-man band) lies the homonymous, historic bassist of Mortuary Drape from the period from “Into The Drape” to “Secret Sudaria”.For the avoidance of doubt, it must immediately be said that, if you think you will find in this first EP by The Diabolic Obsession some sort of nostalgic recovery of the…
