Soundgarden are seen as a quintessential Nineties band, but they actually formed in 1984, and started releasing music three years later. That means they’ve been eligible for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame since 2012. Fans started giving up hope after they appeared on two ballots prior to this year, and failed to get in. That made it even more joyous when the Seattle group finally made the cut this year alongside the White Stripes, OutKast, Chubby Checker, Bad Company, Joe Cocker, Salt-n-Pepa, Warren Zevon, and Cyndi Lauper.

Released in 1995, Clueless marked a major fashion reset. It moved away from the grunge style inspired by Nirvana and introduced a polished, preppy aesthetic. Cher Horowitz’s wardrobe helped reintroduce matching co-ord sets, slip dresses, and tartan skirts, effectively rewriting American youth fashion.

In addition to coining the immortalized expressions “as if!” and “whatever!”, the 1995 American coming-of-age romantic comedy film showed another side to ’90s fashion that people who aren’t that into grunge and hip-hop style instantly warmed up to.

The 1995 film Clueless marked a pivotal shift in fashion trends, steering away from the grunge aesthetic of baggy jeans and flannel shirts.

As noted by Varsity, “Clueless redefined the look of the 90s, renewing the plaid shirt into a plaid skirt”. This transformation popularized preppy,...

After declaring they were going on indefinite hiatus last fall, Metz came back together to perform “A Boat to Drown In” on Everybody’s Live With John Mulaney.

The latest episode of the Netflix talk show featured appearances by Conan O’Brien, Ayo Edibiri, and Tina Fey, and was unexpectedly themed around Christmas. At the end of the episode, host John Mulaney announced the band, noting, “They’ve reunited for one night only.” He also dubbed the Toronto grunge punk group “one of my favorite bands ever.”

Perhaps, it’s time to take out your tissues over your black capes, because Gotham might be losing another Batman. Yep, it’s looking real gloomy, because we’ve already been facing the dreadful delay situation with Robert Pattinson’s The Batman 2. And now, reports suggest that his broody eyes and emo eyeliner might be facing the axe.

And who warned us about this, ages ago? Zack Snyder fans, of course! They’ve been waving red flags louder than a Bat-Signal. Now, James Gunn is reportedly scouting for his own version of the Dark Knight for the rebooted DC Universe—and things aren’t looking good for Robert Pattinson’s Batman.

Robert Pattinson’s The Batman 2 is reportedly canceled amid the film’s delay

Today, April 5th, 2025, marks the 31st anniversary of the day the music world lost one of its most influential and enigmatic figures: Kurt Cobain. Found dead in his Seattle home on April 5th, 1994, forensic investigation later determined that the Nirvana frontman had tragically taken his own life on April 5th, 1994, at the age of just 27. The news sent a shockwave through a generation that had found its voice, its angst, and its reluctant icon in the raw, unfiltered honesty of his music.

Kurt Donald Cobain, born on February 20th, 1967, in Aberdeen, Washington, was more than just a musician; he was a cultural touchstone. His rise with Nirvana in the late 1980s and early 1990s coincided with a seismic shift in popular music, pushing the raw energy and disillusionment of grunge into the mainstream. With bassist Krist Novoselic and drummer Dave Grohl, Cobain crafted a sound that was both abrasive and undeniably melodic,...

Momma deliver their fantastic new album Welcome to My Blue Sky just in time for a whole new Summer of Grunge. Momma’s Etta Friedman and Allegra Weingarten are longtime friends who met as high school Pavement fans in Southern California, now raise hell in Brooklyn, and cram their guitars full of youthful sex-and-romance pangs along with a mommalode of slacker angst. Jams like “I Want You (Fever)” are for anyone who’s ever heard the chaos in their heart translated into euphoric guitar ruckus.

Momma made a splash with their ace 2022 album Household Name,...

Fontaines D.C. recently stopped by Australian radio station triple j to offer the platform a signature Like a Version cover. They opted for a dreamy rendition of Bring Me the Horizon’s “Can You Feel My Heart,” in which they also interpolated Nirvana’s In Utero hit “Heart-Shaped Box.”

Usually a guitar-forward band, Fontaines D.C. decided on just synths, keys, vocals, and programmed drums for their Like a Version session. They brought a stirring conviction to the cover reminiscent of the Irish band’s darkest songs — especially their great 2024 album Romance — emphasized by dramatic strings, trip-hop drums, and frontman Grian Chatten’s booming baritone. Chatten cued up the Nirvana moment shortly after the two-minute mark.

Conor Curley, the group’s guitarist, discussed their choice of Bring Me the Horizon for their Like a Version cover, telling the Australian outlet, “It was Grian [Chatten]‘s idea initially.

Just under two years after the season one finale of The Last of Us comes the trailer for season two. Partly set to a version of Nirvana’s “You Know You’re Right”, The Last of Us trailer offers a lot of surprises for fans not just of the first season but also the video game.

As we know, season two of The Last of Us picks up a handful of years after the events of season one. But of more interest is the introduction of Abby, who is introduced in the sequel game The Last of Us Part II and is a crucial part of the story – so much so that we won’t even consider spoiling how significant of a role she has. Still, knowing she is in this season might give fans an idea of how the season may end…She is portrayed by Kaitlyn Dever, who...

A massive trove of live performances from the late-Nineties/early-Aughts glory days of music television has finally made it to the streaming era, with Paramount+ uploading old episodes of MTV Unplugged, CMT Crossroads, and VH1 Storytellers.

As Billboard notes, these collections aren’t entirely comprehensive, with random episodes and full seasons missing here and there for all three programs. Nevertheless, there’s still a deep assortment of classic performances to dig through, including most of the episodes that appeared on Rolling Stone’s list of the 15 Best Episodes of MTV Unplugged.

Away from her daytime job, Gayle King recently enjoyed quality entertainment with some great musical performances.

Her latest outing even included the singer being kind enough to allow for a backstage meetup for a special occasion.

The CBS Mornings host spoke about her girls’ night out, which featured them seeing the “lovely and talented” Kelsea Ballerini.

She’ll appear among the latest lineup of coaches on the hit NBC competition show, The Voice, for Season 27.

Gayle mentioned that her concert group included her nephew Cameron, stage manager Patty, and her daughter, Mary.

The group saw the concert at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, with Gayle sharing why Kelsea was so great during their visit.

Gayle said she ‘had to go’ to singer’s concert and praised her for a backstage meetup

According to Gayle, when Kelsea’s tour recently stopped in nearby New Jersey, she “had to go” to witness her performing live.

Welcome to Reality Derby, our weekly deep dive into all things reality TV, hosted by Gold Derby senior editors Marcus James Dixon and Denton Davidson.

Joining us this week is boxing legend Oscar De La Hoya, who was eliminated after performing as Fuzzy Peas on this week’s episode of The Masked Singer on Fox. (Our interview begins at the 0:58 mark in the video above.) De La Hoya tells us about his appearance on the singing competition, being nominated for a Grammy in 2001, and his greatest career achievement.

“I’m up against some tough characters,” De La Hoya says of Ant, Coral, and Paparazzo. “These guys can belt! These guys can sing. It was surprising actually, to me, because you think you’re doing well, you’re singing good — but I have to tell you one thing — the other characters are like true professionals. This season’s gonna be amazing.

Nothing is Everything: Eldin’s Continuing Exploration of Existential Crisis

For his sophomore film Yunan, intended as the second chapter in a thematic trilogy following 2021’s The Stranger, director Ameer Fakher Eldin presents a parable within a parable as a disillusioned writer contemplates suicide. The milk of human kindness, and what appears to be a metaphorically biblical flood, reinvigorates his zest for life. Aided by accepting an epiphany, which basically regards the reality we are all destined to die and be forgotten (which Nirvana might have stated more eloquently as ‘all in all is all we are’), we follow him on his journey towards a peaceful reckoning to enjoy the present.…...

Kicking off with a tribute to the Blues Brothers from the evening’s host Jimmy Fallon, last night’s “SNL50: The Homecoming Concert” pulled out all the stops in celebrating the show’s rich musical history, as well as the influence music has had on its comedy. And though Fallon made sure to start the affair at Radio City Music Hall by pointing out that everyone in the room had some form of connection to “Saturday Night Live” and were not there as casual spectators, watching at home, its clear the production worked hard to place fans of the staple variety series right at the the center of the action as well.

The first singer of the evening was Miley Cyrus. After a rendition of Queen’s “Crazy Little Thing Called Love” accompanied by The Roots (they served as the house band for the evening) and Brittany Howard, Cyrus gave...

Chappell Roan “put her money where her mouth is” and challenged the writer of the op-ed who criticized her Grammys speech to donate $25,000 to a fund supporting struggling artists who have been dropped by their label.

At the Grammys Sunday, Roan used her Best New Artist acceptance speech to demand that record labels treat young artists as “valuable employees with a livable wage and health insurance and protection.”

No Doubt reunited once again to perform at the FireAid benefit concert in Los Angeles on Thursday night, where they played “Just a Girl,” “Don’t Speak,” and “Spiderwebs.”

The band was introduced by John Mayer — who said “You can’t have a concert for SoCal” without them — and immediately launched into “Just a Girl,” donning their ’90s throwback plaid and bringing their ska A-game to the upbeat crowd-pleaser. From there, they performed “Don’t Speak,” and then brought the energy back up their closer, “Spiderwebs.” Watch a clip of the performance below.

The appearance marked No Doubt’s first live appearance since they reunited last year to headline Coachella, which earned a “Skachella” nickname thanks to their involvement and a set from fellow SoCal band Sublime.

FireAid was announced after the devastating fires in the LA area earlier this month, and featured performances staged at both the Intuit Dome and the Kia Forum in Inglewood,...

On Thursday night, P!Nk was one of many artists who performed at the FireAid benefit concert, taking the stage at the Kia Forum for an impassioned set that included a cover of Led Zeppelin’s version of “Babe I’m Gonna Leave You.”

P!Nk began her portion of the night with a rendition of 2017 song “What About Us,” after which she told the crowd that she was going to “keep my feet on the ground” with “a couple of songs that bring me comfort.” She then launched into a stirring cover of the Janis Joplin classic “Me and Bobby McGee.”

After belting her heart out on the “Bobby McGee” outro — which made her “almost pass out” — she took a drink and asked the audience “We got any Led Zeppelin fans out there?” Responding to their applause, she said “Alright, thank God” and introduced the next song: her version of...

Nirvana’s Dave Grohl, Krist Novoselic, and Pat Smear reunited at the FireAid benefit concert, where they were joined by St. Vincent, Kim Gordon, Joan Jett, and Violet Grohl for a number of Nirvana songs. Watch clips of the performances below.

The reunion was a highlight of the evening, and came as a surprise amidst the two-venue benefit show’s already-stacked lineup. St. Vincent started things off, playing a rendition of “Breed” with Novoselic on bass and Grohl on drums — marking the latter’s first public musical performance since his extramarital scandal last year.

Gordon was next to fill in for the late Kurt Cobain, taking center stage to perform “School.” After her, Novoselic introduced Jett, who led a rocking version of “Territorial Pissings.”

Then, with Novoselic on accordion and Gordon on bass, Grohl’s daughter, Violet, took the stage for the final song, “All Apologies.” Last month, it was...

Nearly 30 of the biggest stars of the past half-century came together on Jan. 30 to deliver a five-and-a-half-hour love letter to Los Angeles, offering the city a much-needed musical catharsis following this month’s devastating, destructive wildfires.

The FireAid show was a huge undertaking: With so many artists eager to take part, organizers split them into two simultaneous events, at the famed Kia Forum and the newer Intuit Dome one mile down the street. Fittingly, most of the classic rock acts played the Forum, while the more contemporary pop stars played the newer venue.

Shortly after Nirvana’s surprise reunion at FireAid, the Red Hot Chili Peppers came together for the first time since the 2024 Olympics Closing Ceremony. They opened up with “Dani California,” and then launched into “Californication” and “Black Summer” before wrapping up with a singalong rendition of “Under The Bridge.”

“Love you so much Los Angeles,” Flea told the crowd, wearing nothing more than a pair of purple underpants. “Los Angeles is our home. We fuckin’ love you.”

The Chili Peppers are a quintessential L.A. band whose roots go all...

The surviving members of Nirvana weren’t part of the official FireAid bill, but they took the stage near the end of the Kia Forum show in Inglewood, California, to tear through “Breed” with St. Vincent, “School” with Kim Gordon, “Territorial Pissings” with Joan Jett, and “All Apologies” with Violet Grohl, the 18-year-old daughter of Dave Grohl.

Dave Grohl, Krist Novoselic, and Pat Smear dissolved Nirvana after Kurt Cobain’s death in 1994, but they came back together in 2012 to record “Cut Me Some Slack” with Paul McCartney. Two years later,...

There’s an insane amount of competition for the best-ever musical performance on Saturday Night Live. But if we crowned an all-time champ for best SNL mid-week promo by a musical guest, the winner has to be Nirvana. Their profoundly awkward team-up with NBA Hall of Famer Charles Barkley was one for the ages.

Nirvana was a seasoned SNL veteran by the time the group played the 1993 season premiere with Barkley. But when the band appeared for the first time in January 1992, the result was almost a “Titanic-level disaster,” according to drummer Dave Grohl in the new documentary Ladies & Gentlemen... 50 Years of SNL Music. The explanation for why the appearance was so harrowing is simple: Pure fear.

“I was absolutely fucking terrified,” Grohl admitted.

Nirvana wasn’t yet a huge name when the band made its SNL debut — in fact, Lorne Michaels had never heard of them. That changed...

Review: As the celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of Saturday Night Live kicks into high gear this month, there are a slew of specials and documentaries looking at the storied legacy of the NBC variety show. While Peacock is the home for the behind-the-scenes chronicle of the comedians and cast that have traversed the SNL stage, NBC will be airing the two-hour documentary Ladies and Gentlemen…50 Years of SNL Music.

His name is Lee … Bill Lee. A man slouching toward middle age and suffering the malaise of someone who’s seen it all, heard it all, shot it all into his veins, he’s embraced the dissolute life of an ex-pat. Sporting an endless supply of filthy linen suits and ever-present fedoras, Lee cruises the bars looking to score sex and junk in Mexico. Sweaty afternoons are spent buzzed on cheap tequila and bantering with his fellow social outcasts. Evenings are spent in the company of willing young men and needles.

History is written by the victors, they say, but it always depends on which side is winning. In the battle for the crown jewel of entertainment, YouTube and MTV were caught in a deadly game as the platform that was once at its peak now lies relatively dormant. Meanwhile, the other relatively obscure platform steadily climbs to the top.

However, the legal battle between MTV and YouTube was, in the end, a timely one that ascertained the need for platforms like the latter to exist. As YouTube grew in popularity over the years, it also became one of the largest reservoirs of audiovisual content in the world.

It was only a matter of time until the platform came under heavy attack from competitors with some even trying to bring it down.

One of the most unusual songs Soundgarden recorded was “Head Down” — a deep cut on their biggest-selling album, 1994’s Superunknown — that tumbles slowly over six minutes, adding crusts of snaky guitar and ear-twisting vocal harmonies until it settles as a clatter of percussion. Bassist Ben Shepherd wrote the song, but it was Chris Cornell who pushed the limits of his voice into the upper strata to sing Shepherd’s lyrics about cloaking depression in a smile. “We see you cry, we turn your head,” he sings like an onlooker to his own strife,...

Don’t F**k With Ghosts. It’s the #1 rule every ghost hunter knows, and the first rule every ghost hunter breaks. In the painfully delightfully Canadian mockumentary Don’t F**k With Ghosts, filmmakers Stuart Stone and Adam Rodness (playing fictional versions of themselves) set out to find indisputable proof of the existence of the ghosts. Their quest takes them out of their comfort zone, and out of the Toronto film industry. To get this project off the ground, and to embed themselves in an environment that fosters ghostly activity, Stu and Adam are forced to travel to a cold, unforgiving land of pain and suffering…..Winnipeg, Manitoba...

Actors have very unique ways of working themselves into a role, which often requires some inspired tricks from them. There have been tons of stories about how actors prepare for roles and stay in character, including the one about Danial Day-Lewis’ time on Gangs of New York.

The actor decided to listen to some of Eminem’s music in preparation for his role in Gangs of New York. The actor had a specific reason for listening to the rapper’s music, which he explained to Rolling Stone in an interview.

YouTube is engaged in ongoing negotiations with a music rights organization that protects the copyrights of major pop, rock, and hip-hop acts. That organization is called Sesac, and its lack of a deal with YouTube has restricted access to music videos from artists like Adele, Nirvana, R.E.M., and Kendrick Lamar.

The rights dispute doesn’t cover all of the videos by the affected artists, but several prominent clips have become unlisted, including Adele hits like “Someone Like You” and “Hello” and 90s classics like “Smells Like Teen Spirit” and “Losing My Religion”. In total, Sesac licenses more than 1.5 million tracks on behalf of 15,000 songwriters, composers, and publishers, according to its website.

A YouTube spokesperson told The Hollywood Reporter that Sesac’s contract with the platform expired, and the two sides have thus far been unable to come to terms on a new deal. “We take copyright very seriously and as a result,...

Update: YouTube and Sesac have come to terms on a new deal. “Content (that was previously blocked) will be restored across YouTube services over the next day or two,” YouTube said in a statement on Monday night.

Hundreds of classic music videos and songs by Nirvana, Adele, Bob Dylan, Kendrick Lamar, Green Day, and hundreds more are currently unavailable on YouTube amid a copyright dispute between the video platform and the performance rights organization, Sesac.

A YouTube spokesperson told The Hollywood Reporter on Saturday, that the site and Sesac were “unable to reach an equitable agreement” before the expiration of their copyright deal.

“We take copyright very seriously and as a result, content represented by Sesac is no longer available on YouTube in the US,” the spokesperson said. “We are in active conversations with Sesac and are hoping to reach a new deal as soon as possible.”

With that, the...

Thousands of songs and music videos by hundreds of artists have vanished from YouTube after the video site failed to reach a new agreement with publishing rights organization Sesac.

Artists like Adele, Kendrick Lamar, Bob Dylan, Nirvana, Mariah Carey, Green Day and hundreds more were impacted by the impasse created as Sesac’s deal with YouTube nears expiration.

“We have held good faith negotiations with Sesac to renew our existing deal. Unfortunately, despite our best efforts, we were unable to reach an equitable agreement before its expiration,” a YouTube spokesperson...

Songs by Adele, Kendrick Lamar, Bob Dylan, Nirvana, Green Day and Mariah Carey, among others, are returning to YouTube after a contract dispute between the platform and Sesac, a performing rights organization, was resolved.

A YouTube spokesperson shared in a statement with The Hollywood Reporter on Monday, “We’re pleased that Sesac reconsidered our offer. We’ve reached a deal and content will come back up shortly. We appreciate everyone’s patience during this time.”

Earlier, some songs by several artists were met with this message when attempting to be played: “This video contains content from Sesac. It is not available in your country.”

Sesac in the U.S. collects royalties and helps protect copyrights on behalf of songwriters and publishers. On the organization’s website, it said, “Sesac currently licenses the public performance of more than 1.5 million songs on behalf of its 15,000+ affiliated songwriters, composers, and music publishers, which...

Ultra Instinct Goku was the talk of the town since the Tournament of Power. The Godly silver glow accompanied by seamless movements made the Angel’s specialty one of the best, if not the best, forms/techniques in Dragon Ball. Philosophically speaking, it’s the pinnacle of existence for all living creatures within and outside the multiverse.

Not only does the body function autonomously, but so does the form of consciousness that accompanies it, which is very similar to that of a being who has achieved Nirvana. However, the technique has overshadowed Dragon Ball‘s most popular form ever created and fans want it to be relevant again.

Dave Grohl is a divorced man. The question is, will he be a divorced man twice over.

In a shocking Instagram post, the Foo Fighters rocker admitted to the world that he had cheated on his wife of over 20 years. To make matters worse, the affair resulted in a love child.

This story perhaps sounds familiar to those who have followed Dave’s career since his Nirvana days. For the rest of us, it’s worth explaining that Dave Grohl knows exactly what happens when you cheat on a spouse: divorce.

I doubt you need me to tell you that Taylor Swift is a big deal right now. The pop star is selling out stadiums and boosting the economies of countries around the world. Her fans are famously loyal, to the point where they'll love you if you publicly say you like her and her music. And if say you don't...well, tread lightly.

Peter Dinklage, who played Tyrion Lannister for all eight seasons on Game of Thrones, is on their good side. "Taylor Swift, I can tell you anything about Taylor Swift, 'cause I'm in it, I'm in it deep," he said on a recent episode of the podcast Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh. "Culturally, Taylor Swift is huge, she's everywhere. I think she's fantastic."

Dinklage didn't stumble upon Swift himself, but was exposed by his kids, who are around 13 and 7 years old. As a Gen X-er, he's also...

If you're looking to relish in some '90s nostalgia, there's no better show to watch than That '90s Show. The sequel series to That '70s Show takes place in 1996 and pays homage to multiple iconic and nostalgic pop culture references from the decade, from its parody sequences (Doug! Clueless! Pulp Fiction!) to its music to its episode titles. It's a hilarious time capsule that will unlock so many memories for '90s kids.

While the first season of That '90s Show featured episode titles that directly referenced situations in the episode, the second season — a.k.a. parts 2 and 3 — picked up a tradition from its sire series. Beginning with the fifth season, every season of That '70s Show dedicated its episode titles to a popular band from the '70s. Led Zeppelin, The Who, The Rolling Stones, and Queen were all honored.

Rather than devoting an entire season's titles to a single artist,...

The hand sign used by Itadori symbolizes Kṣitigarbha, a monk and bodhisattva highly respected in East Asian Buddhism. With Jujutsu Kaisen nearing its conclusion, the unexpected plot twists by Gege Akutami in Chapter 264 are driving fans crazy. There’s already a lot of excitement about Yuji’s domain expansion, and now his hand sign is adding even more intrigue.

The hand sign may seem like Sukuna’s, but its meaning is different. If the predictions are correct about Kṣitigarbha, then Sukuna may lose to Itadori. We have already seen Itadori’s domain expansion, which is a train station where he takes Sukuna to continue their battle.

Who is Kṣitigarbha and how is he connected to Jujutsu Kaisen?

Kṣitigarbha was a Buddhist monk, who took a vow that he wouldn’t achieve Buddhahood until all hells were emptied.

The Boys and its incredible take on the satirical superhero genre have kept fans on the edge of their seats. The series, created under the cinematic vision of Eric Kripke, wrapped up its fourth season and is all set to conclude with the fifth one. But apart from the show’s star-studded cast and an interesting narrative, it also features some of the funkiest and most iconic beats in the music business.

After several years, and a few unexpected twists, Nirvana and Marc Jacobs have settled a copyright dispute over the band’s smiley face logo, which also raised questions about the origins of the famous symbol.

Nirvana first brought the suit in Dec. 2018, accusing Marc Jacobs of copyright and trademark infringement over a T-shirt they said ripped off the band’s signature happy face design — with X’d out eyes, squiggly smile, and tongue sticking out. The Marc Jacobs shirt (which was part of the fashion company’s “Bootleg Redux Grunge...

Spoiler Alert!The article contains spoilers for The Boys.

Since 2019, Eric Kripke’s The Boys have been taking jabs at Marvel and DC. The show has featured a sociopath, psychotic version of Superman in Antony Starr’s Homelander, and an unhinged version of Captain America with Jensen Ackles’ Soldier Boy, who was America’s Son.

However, the R-rated show is not stopping anytime soon because, in the 5th episode of Season 4, titled Beware the Jabberwock, My Son, Kripke takes a jab at Robert Pattinson’s The Batman.

During the Vought Expo scene, where the Supes were talking about their upcoming film and TV Series, Derek Wilson’s Tek Knight came on the stage, where he decided to satirize DC by targetting Batman and using Nirvana as the point of reference to ridicule the character.

Michael Alex joined MTV News in 1989, where he produced hundreds of segments of “The Week in Rock,” the Peabody-winning “Choose or Lose” series, documentaries and over a thousand daily news television reports. He founded and led MTV News’ digital organization from 1994 until 2007. Variety welcomes responsible commentary — contact music@variety.com if interested.

Twenty five years of entertainment history, as reported by MTV News, disappeared from the internet a few days ago, when its parent company, Paramount, removed the site’s archives, along with those of CMT and other outlets — without warning, explanation or comment. What was an invaluable resource for music fans, journalists, cultural ambassadors and millions of people who loved music is simply gone. For how long is uncertain, but what is certain is that from the start, MTV News’ digital archive was created and designed to serve music fans, people who cared about the artists and their art.

“Bridgerton” Season 3 is here, and with it comes a new collection of string covers of iconic pop songs. The Shondaland Netflix series made a mark with its first season by packing the regency-era period story with string quartet covers of modern pop songs, and the trend continues in the new season that puts the focus on a romance between Penelope (Nicola Coughlan) and Colin (Luke Newton).

“Bridgerton” Season 3 Part 1 also features the Netflix show’s first-ever original song: “All I Want” is written by Rogét Chahayed (Doja Cat’s “Kiss Me More”), Wesley Singerman (Jennifer Lopez’s “Butterfly”), Taylor Dexter (Joji’s “Die for You”) and Nicole Cohen (Meghan Trainor’s “Sensitive”).

Band members Rivers Cuomo and Patrick Wilson also sat down with Clarkson to discuss their career and to reflect on the 30th anniversary of their debut self-titled LP, also known as the Blue Album. “I love the album myself,...

Nirvana have paid tribute to Steve Albini by sharing the four-page letter he sent the band before agreeing to record their beloved final studio album, In Utero. Albini passed away yesterday (May 8th) at the age of 61.

The letter was posted on Nirvana’s official Twitter account, accompanied simply by the caption, “Steve Albini.” In the document, Albini outlines his steadfast philosophies, both regarding his approach to recording and his approach to business. Effectively, it’s Albini responding to Kurt Cobain’s request to produce the album by saying, “Only if we do it right.”

“I think the very best thing you could do at this point is exactly what you are talking about doing: bang a record out in a couple of days, with high quality but minimal ‘production’ and no interference from the front office bulletheads. If that is indeed what you want to do, I would love to be involved,...

Kid sisters Aixa (age 9) and Nirvana (age 11) are following in the footsteps of fellow music prodigy Nandi Bushell with their impressive TikTok channel of heavy metal cover songs.

Hailing from a musical family, Aixa and Nirvana performed alongside their parents in many of their early clips, but lately they’ve been tackling impressive renditions of songs by Metallica, Ozzy Osbourne, and Iron Maiden all by themselves.

Nirvana handles guitar and vocals while Aixa lays down the rhythm behind a huge drum kit that threatens to engulf her. But for their age, the sisters already sound like seasoned vets.

Their cover of the Maiden classic “The Trooper” is a prime example and has already amassed over 22 million views on TikTok. While Aixa pounds away at the kit, Nirvana holds down the dynamic guitar lines and the vocals — a challenge that even Iron Maiden never attempted. She also works her pedal board...

Director Jun Robles Lana is a committed advocate of all queer aspects of life, which he has portrayed in his body of work with contrasting tones of voice, from the theatrical colorfulness of “Die Beautiful” to the dark realism of “Kalel, 15”. “Becky & Badette” sits without a doubt in the former group and, despite not being strictly (no pun intended) a gay story, is as camp as Christmas. A mix of classic comedy of errors and the familiar “high school reunion” genre, peppered with many innuendos and Filipino in-jokes, “Becky & Badette” is pure fun from start to end, and also one of those films you can imagine the cast and crew having a great time while shooting it.
