Stephen Colbert doesn’t think the foundations of America have been shaken by the cancellation of The Late Show. After winning the Emmy for Outstanding Variety Series last night, Colbert told Variety that he believes “free speech is alive and well.” “Because if you can’t say something because you go to jail, that is a violation of free speech,” Colbert said, pointing to the other late-night shows that have continued, including The Tonight Show and Jimmy Kimmel Live. “I think that late night is just as funny and just as vital as it ever has been, and I love watching Jimmy…

Hakushi Hasegawa believes in the unlimited. Since their earliest releases, the Japanese producer and composer has pursued the dissolution of musical boundaries. They retrofit their tracks with sounds of past and present, covering free jazz and breezy J-rock, even extending to the outer edges of hyperpop’s nebula. Honest Feeling Album, their fourth record, extracts a facsimile of order from the chaos, undergirding the variation with earnest, curious songwriting without smoothing out the gleefully jagged edges.Hasegawa broke out as a teenage wunderkind with their 2018 EP of junglist jazz, Sōmoku hōdō. Subsequent releases stretched to contain more multifarious ideas—their 2019 debut…

Articolo di Lorenzo Vezzosi | Foto di Luca Simonazzi DISCLAIMER “Ah s*#t! Here we go again” recitavano in un famoso franchise videoludico. Siamo di nuovo qui, e stavolta la missione in cui ci siamo sobbarcati è piuttosto ardua e pretenziosa, per due motivi: il primo è che stilare una classifica di artisti incredibili è una sfida sostanzialmente impossibile, mai e poi mai oggettiva (sentito, Sanremo e X-Factor?); il secondo, è che ho abbastanza anni di esperienza sul web per sapere che le polemiche sono dietro l’angolo in questi casi… Per rendervi l’idea: ecco un esempio di scambio d’opinioni pacato sul…

There are some musical clunkers on The World Is Yours, but the album’s unevenness is mostly due to Rio’s performances. For the first time in his career, he sounds worn down both mentally and physically, which makes sense when you consider last year’s relentless touring schedule, his consistently prolific output, and all the other personal shit he’s been through. You can hear the toll life’s taken on him from the start of “Be Like Me,” the album’s paranoid and funereal opener, where Rio’s mucus-y voice sounds especially scratchy and strained. Rio addresses the frog in his throat on “Lost My…

From her beginnings on The Porter Wagoner Show to her series of Christmas movies and specials, Dolly Parton had a long history with television. On Monday night, the 78th Emmy Awards paid tribute to the country songwriter and actress with a standalone homage during the telecast. Her longtime friend actress Sally Field, who starred alongside Parton in the 1989 film Steel Magnolias, said Parton was “genuine and humble, supportive, and blisteringly funny, with a bawdy sense of humor that would send any rude guy looking for a place to hide.” “There are truly angels on Earth, and we just lost…

Sheryl Crow and Olivia Rodrigo have history. They’ve performed together at Nashville’s Bluebird Cafe, at Crow’s induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2023, and then again in Nashville during a stop on Rodrigo’s headlining arena tour the following year. So, Rodrigo’s appearance in Nashville on Monday night during a dinner honoring Crow’s achievements as a songwriter shouldn’t have come as the biggest surprise. And yet, in an evening filled with A-level performances by Chris Stapleton, Eric Church, Jason Isbell, Lauren Daigle, and Melissa Etheridge, it was an undeniable showstopper. Crow, who released her debut album Tuesday…

Oasis have finally announced details of their Live ’27 tour for next year. Check out the full dates along with ticket details, prices and on-sale information below. There have long been rumours of the Gallaghers returning to road again in 2027, with reports emerging that they’d be playing shows in Manchester and Knebworth. Off the back the hype surrounding their new documentary Don’t Look Back In Anger about their reunion and the last run of shows, the band then started a teaser campaign with Easter eggs revealing the locations – before confirming that an announcement was coming with a drone…

In Before Midnight, the final film in Richard Linkater’s Before Sunrise trilogy, Julie Delpy’s character poses a question to her husband, 20 years after the two fell in love in Vienna: “If we were meeting for the first time today on a train, would you find me attractive?” It’s the kind of existential head-scratcher that makes romance, and its end, infinitely fertile artistic ground. Twenty years and change since many of us fell in love with Bloc Party, the arrival of a new album might have you asking a similar question: If we first encountered them as they are today,…

Maybe it’s dumb to be a believer. There’s no guarantee that your beliefs will hold up, and it’s unlikely the thing you reach out for will ever reach back. But to commit to this possibility, as Angela Autumn figures it, is to find connection: to the universe, to other people, or to God if you’re lucky. “I got to be a believer to take a ride,” she sings on the title track of her third studio album, Believer.The people on Autumn’s album have faith in lovers who may not return, in money, in fame, and in nature as a refuge.…

TV’s biggest night delivered on fan-favorite wins, uncomfortable bits, tearjerking speeches, and more A lot of questions lingered in the air before the 2026 Emmys: Would Vince Gilligan go-to Rhea Seehorn finally take home an Emmy? Would producers find a way to shoehorn variety-special nominee Taylor Swift into the broadcast? Was Widow’s Bay going to clean up after entering the awards with 19 nominations? Should the writers have questioned their judgment if they decided to open up the show with an extended “I Love Rock ‘n’ Roll” parody featuring dancers with TV sets on their heads? The answers to those…
