Travis Scott stopped by The Tonight Show to discuss his experience making Christopher Nolan's new film The Odysseywhich features his song “When I'm Home” over the end credits. Host Jimmy Fallon noted that the film marks Scott's first time being part of a No. 1 movie. “It feels way different,” Scott said. “Even my theater teacher from high school, they reached out to my mom. This is like another stratosphere of greatness. All the people [who] were scolding you in when you were in school, trying to make you a great human, are like, 'You finally did something good.'” Scott…
These days I've found myself thinking more and more often about the same thing: how much do we miss Ozzy Osbourne? How much more fun was everything with him? Fucking, to put it in his own words. Not only because there are no more concerts or records of his to look forward to, but because with him a certain way of being in the world, a human category, has disappeared.Ozzy belonged to that era in which rock was still populated by unpredictable characters, capable of making people laugh, scandalise, move and even embarrass in the same day. It was enough…

If not for Scary Stories To Tell in the Dark—Alvin Schwartz’s infamous anthology series of folk stories that have haunted grade school book fairs for decades—The Garden as we know them might not exist. Ever since twin brothers Fletcher and Wyatt Shears began releasing their brand of sun-bleached, goofball punk rock in the early 2010s, they’ve cited the book’s influence on their work with Biblical reverence and referenced its nightmare-inducing illustrations in the cover art of side projects. The true parallel, however, is structural: Where Schwartz’s writing was succinct and vernacular, so too is the twins’ output across The Garden’s…
Charlotte MacInnes accused Wilson of using her as “leverage” in a separate dispute with producers of the film Rebel Wilson was found not liable of defaming a young actress who played the starring role in her directorial debut, The Deb. According to CNN, an Australian judge dismissed the case on Wednesday that was brought by actress Charlotte MacInnes, who accused Wilson of sharing Instagram posts that suggested she was sexually harassed by Amanda Ghost — a producer on The Deb whom Wilson previously sued for breach of contract and fraud. MacInnes claimed the posts damaged her reputation. “Thank you to…
They serve generous portions at Gladstone's on Santa Monica Beach. Godzilla stuff. The dish of lobster, clams, mussels and prawns is enough to feed an entire developing nation and is served by a waitress in microshorts who is evidently obsessed with tanning beds. «Since we signed with a major label, every time there is a meeting we make sure they take us to eat lobster», explains Donita Sparks, the singer of L7, laughing. It's actually the most punk thing you can do.«The waitress is practically naked», protests bassist Jennifer Finch, who is also wearing a short top which is not…
46 years after their birth, Echo & The Bunnymen still have no intention of stopping. The historic Liverpool band has announced “Apples For Isaac”, the new album of unreleased songs out on September 18th for BMG. This is the first work composed of original material since “Meteorites”, published in 2014. “The Stars, The Oceans & The Moon” arrived in 2018, a collection of new recordings of songs from the past, but the new album represents the group's true creative return after over a decade. Work on “Apples For Isaac” began shortly after the release of “The Stars, The Oceans &…
Isn’t the world gorgeous through Sofie Birch-tinted glasses? Listening to “Sefirot Surfa,” a gentle, whimsical romp from Bivabippabualukka, has made the harsh and poorly maintained streets around my East London flat feel magical and new: What portals, it begs a listener to ask, could lie between those cracks in the pavement, or beneath that pile of refuse?Lush and animated, Bivabippabualukka is an extraordinary break from convention in comparison to Birch’s previous releases, a series of ambient folk records that encouraged scholarly engagement with the minutiae of Birch’s compositional choices. 2025’s soundbath-like Hiraeth, for example, was hardly casual listening, a listening…
Within the pantheon of millennial punk, the Menzingers are our dive bar poet laureates. The Pennsylvania band’s beer-battered anthems are less loquacious and more crowdsurfable than the comparably earnest the Hold Steady, but a little too weathered and wise to resonate with the average Neck Deep skater bro. For the 20 years they’ve been kickin’, the band has been the same four dudes—guitarists and vocalists Tom May and Greg Barnett, bassist Eric Keen, drummer Joe Godino—rocking out to the same everyman trials: heartbreak, loss, and the growing pains that encompass the period between glassy-eyed adolescence and groggy-headed middle-age.Over time, their…
The pop-star magic of 2022’s massive “Bad Habit,” one of the defining hits of the TikTok era, is that it’s a big, professional smash that doesn’t really sound like one. The unexpected breakout from Steve Lacy’s Grammy-winning Gemini Rights widened the scope of his ditzy, talky demos while hanging onto the looseness of a guy freestyling in his childhood bedroom. Compared to the old stuff he used to drop on his own when he was mainly known as the youngin’ ripping the guitar in the R&B band the Internet, “Bad Habit” isn’t nearly as diaristic or cheeky, but it captures…
