It may still be early in the 2023 new movie release schedule, but there’s never a bad time for a surprise at the movies. M3GAN’s success story was the first big happening at the movies this year, as it over-performed even its rosiest estimates when all was done and dusted. However, a new surprise has

When Maren Morris was a guest judge on RuPaul’s Drag Race Friday, she seemed more excited than the contestants themselves to be in the Werk Room during MTV’s official aftershow, Untucked. “I’m obsessed. I’ve loved this show for so many years, and it’s crazy how far Drag Race has come,” the country superstar — who
A new breed of country music competition show is on its way in the form of My Kind of Country. The project, helmed by actress Reese Witherspoon and country singer Kacey Musgraves in partnership with Apple, is a fresh take on a crowd-pleasing classic.

Interview Cognitive, HIRS, Horrendous, Imperial Triumphant, John Frum, Kaonashi, Liturgy, Pyrrhon, Subterranean Dissonance, Sunrot, Thantifaxath, The HIRS Collective, umbra vitae. Putting a festival together, let alone pulling it off well, takes a little bit of effort and a little bit of insanity—trust us, we know. So when we see another festival pop up in our
In Conflict Graffiti, literary and cultural scholar John Lennon conducts a deep study of the use of graffiti as a means of communication in areas of urban upheaval. Growing up in New York City, Lennon developed a lifelong curiosity about graffiti that began with noticing tags on trains that he saw as a child. That
Of all the Britpop giant Blur members, drummer Dave Rowntree seemed the least likely to have a solo career. Singer Damon Albarn was the undisputed frontman of the group, but he let guitarist Graham Coxon and bassist Alex James take the mic from time to time. Rowntree’s vocal contributions to Blur were always in the
German Composer Gustav Mahler gave us the phrase ‘The Song of the Earth’: in 1908-9, he composed Das Lied von der Erde, a song sequence in praise of the natural world. The Mahler Foundation offers this useful summary: ‘Gustav Mahler believed that nature held the key to the profundity of life. … As he once
Grandpa storytime. There once was a golden era of independent modern rock – from about 1984 to 1999 – when maverick college radio stations paved the way to the indie future and music salvation. Underground was king: no Winger or Right Said Fred videos here! Post-vinyl but pre-Internet, this was the golden “120 Minutes” era,
There’s a lot to say about Hailey Bieber. In fact, we’ve said it. TikTok’s beauty guru, founder of Rhode, and one of fashion’s favorite cool girls, Hailey is Gen Z’s muse. 2022 was the Year-of-Hailey — she even has a Forbes 30 Under 30 cover to prove it. What’s most impressive is that Hailey, a
We’re here because You’re Living All Over Me is unquestionably one of the most important records in the development of alternative rock. This is a stone-cold fact. Four years before grunge catapulted underground music into the mainstream, Dinosaur Jr. laid out a practical blueprint for freaky, noisy “ear-bleeding country.” This is a style that has
Happy Friday, Decibel readers! Come to think of it, happy Friday the 13th! Don’t worry, everyone, it’s January. I’m pretty sure Jason spends this time hibernating until the first leaves of autumn begin to fall over Camp Crystal Lake. Anyway, time for another set of new releases. I feel like the year hasn’t really begun

When Bob Dylan released his 28th studio album, Good as I Been to You in November 1992, it was exactly what his fans had not been waiting for. We wanted a ‘real’ Dylan album, not a grab-bag of dusty old folk songs. Dylan had a terrible 1980s, a decade he spent stumbling from one debacle
Well, this latest video from Finnish death-doom trio God Disease isn’t gonna fill your soul with warmth and joy (not that you likely came here looking for such things anyway). The track, “Ashes,” is a lumbering funereal crusher that pretty much wallows in suffering and sorrow. The accompanying video, courtesy of Aarni Visuals, is equally dispiriting.
Well, dear readers, it’s been quite the ride throughout 2022 together. You’ve come to us for all the gossip, music, drama, fashion do’s-and-don’ts, and every shred of Don’t Worry, Darling coverage. Here at Popdust, we love to dish the latest. And as the year drew to a close, you may have been left scratching your
Photo by Cody Introspective post-metallers Windchimes have released a new video, “She Begs,” and you can see it with us first. Like much of their music, the song takes on themes of environmental despair and mental struggles told through a lilting, melodic take on heaviness. Of the song, the band cryptically say, “Gaia now drowns
Though perhaps not as instantly recognizable as blues master Eric Clapton or Led Zeppelin’s Jimmy Page, Beck was a peer and colleague of both artists – Beck replaced Clapton as guitarist for the seminal British Invasion group The Yardbirds. Beck’s short stint with the group was captured in Italian Director Michelangelo Antonioni’s groovier-than-groovy 1966 portrait
