Taylor Swift is no stranger to breaking records, but it's been a good minute since one of her singles has swept country radio. Or, as Swift herself put it in a note that appeared in Monday's edition of industry trade Country Aircheck“man, it's been a while.” This week, Swift's “I Knew It, I Knew You” from the Toy Story 5 soundtrack was the first song by a woman in history to close out the panel on impact: meaning, every single country radio station reporting to Mediabase signed on to play the song, in the very first week. That's a feat…
President Donald Trump was booed by fans at Madison Square Garden on Monday, after locking down Midtown Manhattan so he and members of his family and administration could attend Game 3 of the NBA Finals. To cope with the rejection from the hometown crowd, Trump fell back on one of his favorite methods of self-soothing: calling a Black person dumb. After sports commentator Stephen A. Smith declared ahead of Monday night's game that he would blame Trump's attendance to the game if the New York Knicks lost (they did), Trump responded that while Smith is “a nice guy,” you “need…
vote6.0 Bands: GOETIA Duration: 00:31:38 Available from: 12/06/2026 Label: Carbonized Records Streaming not yet available.

The music sounds serene with spongy guitar and angelic backing vocals when Interpol frontman Paul Banks sings, “This mirror weighs a ton, but at least we act sudden” with staccato conviction. That turn of phrase, which gives both the band’s eighth album and lead track its title, This Mirror Weighs a Ton, frankly doesn’t make a whole lot of sense, and that’s sort of the point since Banks came up with it while improvising the melodies and vocals simultaneously. It’s highly refined automatic writing, and the band said it sets up the rest of the album, due out Aug. 28.…

We are not alone in the universe — Steven Spielberg has been telling us this for years. Aliens are among us. Sometimes they hide in our closets, looking like adorable geriatrics with glowing fingers (ET). Other times, they swoop down to us terra firma on mother ships, inspiring us to contemplate life, the universe, and everything in between playing with our mashed potatoes (Close Encounters of the Third Kind). Spielberg has warned us to watch the skies, least these visitors try to recruit us for human zoos (Firelight, a sci-fi movie that the 17-year-old Spielberg made in 1964) or eradicate…
