Slushy Noobz fans inhabit something of an inner sanctum, fluent in the Toronto-based YouTube channel’s running jokes and lore. The channel, launched in 2023 by Hamzah Al-Emad, 24, and Martin Andrijasevic, 27, grew out of the pair’s friendship and a shared love of old-school gaming videos, and features everything from Minecraft role-play to restaurant reviews, road trips, and increasingly elaborate real-world challenges. On a Zoom call from a hostel room, midway through a cross-Canada livestream tour, Andrijasevic puts it more simply: “Finding entertainment in the mundane, that’s all we do.” As members of a generation raised on YouTube, Slushy Noobz…
The fossil fuel industry has long been a campaign finance powerhouse, using its clout to help put sympathetic politicians — including Donald Trump — into office. The renewable energy industry isn’t as accustomed to throwing around its weight in the political arena. It appears that has started to change, and the industry recently claimed a victory that left many political observers stunned. Rep. Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.) lost his primary election at the beginning of this month, with Politico reporting that a political action committee backed by solar industry executives played a pivotal role in his loss. The Invest in Tomorrow…
But this is Big Thief, one of the great American bands of our time, a band that has consistently challenged their audience with newness both live and on record. Across their catalog, a certain idiom has crept in more and more, a little twang that draws from Appalachian folk, country western, honky-tonk, and Americana. I remember first hearing the jocular, overalls-wearin’ “Spud Infinity” from Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe in You and feeling a bit disoriented. Where were these front-porch guitar-pull vibes coming from, I wondered, both in a biographical sense and as a big fan of the band’s…

Police in Missouri have made arrests and seized hundreds of pounds of drugs at the 2026 edition of Gathering Of The Juggalos. The annual music festival – run by Insane Clown Posse – kicked off at Mother Nature’s Riverfront Retreat in Macks Creek in Missouri on August 19, and ran until August 22.

Richard Lloyd, the co-founding guitarist of Television, has been diagnosed with cholangiocarcinoma, a serious form of bile duct cancer. According to a GoFundMe launched by his Richard Lloyd Group bandmate Sean Seymour, the cancer has left Lloyd with “tumors in his liver, including one located dangerously close to a major blood vessel”. Seymour said that because of its location, doctors cannot safely operate to remove it at this time, adding that Lloyd has been in the ICU seven times, has dealt with serious complications, including sepsis twice, as well as other associated complications involving his liver and kidneys. “And through…
NCT 127 have experienced substantial changes since their last album, 2024’s ‘Walk’. Originally a group of nine, the boyband are now down to just five. Some are gone for good – disgraced former member Taeil was cut from the group in 2024 following a sexual assault case, while core member Mark Lee left earlier this year – while others are away temporarily (Doyoung and Jungwoo are fulfilling their military service). Despite running at reduced strength, the remaining NCT 127 members – Taeyong, Johnny, Yuta, Jaehyun and Haechan – are showing that they’re down but not out. Where past records leaned…
