If you’re here looking for the new single from The (John) Candy, well, “Merry Christmas, ya filthy animal.” The Orange County Samplecore maestros’ new tune, “Lost In D.C.”, is now streaming, and Noisey has the exclusive early premiere! Along with the “Lost In D.C.” exclusive premiere, I also spoke briefly with The (John) Candy vocalist Brannon Means. I picked his brain about the new song, video, and how they settled on that incredible band name… So this new song is a real auditory bulldozer. Can you tell me a little bit about it? Recently, we’ve been interested in doing sequel songs. So, we thought it would be fun to do a sequel to our first Home Alone -inspired track, “$122.50+ Tip.” We always love the juxtaposition of making heavy, super fun, tongue-in-cheek music that weaves together these themes and plays them off of each other. It’s a challenge for us to “make it all work,” if you will. We are also big Synthwave fans, as evidenced by our ongoing work with our friend Davey O...

Big relationship disasters are easy to spot. Cheating. Yelling. Finding a late-night text that makes your stomach drop. Couples therapy spends a lot of time on something way less obvious, the annoying or frustrating small habits that build resentment day by day. As Janet Bayramyan, LCSW told SELF , “resentment builds, and it builds, and it builds.” That’s the danger. These habits look minor in the moment, then become a hole you can’t crawl out of. 1. Using Humor as an Escape Hatch Jokes can be charming. Jokes can also be a dodge. Bayramyan told SELF that this can happen when one partner feels “uncomfortable or incapable of having tough conversations and emotional intimacy,” so they “use humor to deflect.” The fix is simple and annoying. Just own it. Bayramyan’s advice was to say there’s a part of you that wants to deflect because serious conversations are hard. 2. Replacing Date Night With the Same Couch Loop Of course, everyone needs rest. Still, a relationship can start runnin...

Mercury’s still retrograde, Venus is romantic, Saturn is strict, and Uranus wants to change the furniture just to feel something. People might be tender, impulsive, and weirdly convinced they’re right. Expect sweet gestures with bad timing, big promises with fuzzy details, and feelings that show up dressed as “logic.” Stargazer, don’t let the day bully you into instant answers. Ask for specifics, keep your boundaries intact, and remember that a no can be loving. If you feel pulled in two directions, pick the one that respects your time. Let actions do the talking, and let your phone rest when it starts acting like an emotional slot machine. Read your horoscope for the week , and see what the stars have in store for your sign today.  Aries: March 21 – April 19 You don’t need a crisis to justify changing your mind. Mars in Pisces makes your usual directness feel…selective. That’s fine. Aries, protect your energy by choosing fewer fights and better company. If you’ve been forcing ...

Last August, we reported on the revival of the WideLux, a  bizarre 3 5mm film camera from the 20th century with a swiveling lens. For those who hadn’t heard of the WideLux before—namely, everybody who doesn’t count themselves as a film nerd, and probably half of those who do—the shock of learning such a thing once existed was matched only by the equally out-there news that none other than actor Jeff Bridges was part of an effort to return the camera to production. the unveiling Jeff Bridges, his wife Susan Bridges,  SilvergrainClassics’  editor-in-chief Marwan El Mozayen, and SilvergrainClassics’ Charys Schuler have all teamed up to bring the Widelux back into production under the name WideLuxX. Aside from growing an extra “X” somewhere along the way back from the dead, the camera won’t be a low-cost lookalike. The company said the camera would feature no plastic in its construction whatsoever, and it’d incorporate “sustainable manufacturing practices,” without ...

ARPANET. If you know your internet history, ARPANET was the forerunner of the internet. Dating back to 1969, it gave birth to the World Wide Web decades later. Far from being an obscure crumb of history, it lives on in ways that fly under the radar day to day. But the .arpa domain still underpins our modern-day internet. Think of .arpa as the shadows off the sides of the stage. Here, all the crucial functions take place largely out of sight of those who use the internet. Rather than being used for website URLs, the kind you punch into a URL bar, .arpa websites are normally used for essential functions. So it’s a worrying problem that hackers have figured out how to hijack .arpa domains to run phishing scams on unsuspecting people, all while making them functionally invisible to those searching for them. a shadowy space Why do hackers want to host their phishing scams from websites located on .arpa domains? These websites allow them to avoid the standard security checks. Not being s...

Some days feel engineered to test boundaries, taste, and patience all at once. The Moon throws feelings at Venus, so affection can land sweet, then annoying. Uranus offers a left-field solution that actually works, especially when we stop trying to control the outcome. Saturn gets prickly, and responsibility shows up with a clipboard and a stare. Stargazer, treat every promise like a contract and every mood like weather: temporary. Say what you can do, name what you won’t, and don’t decorate the truth to keep things pretty. If confusion appears, ask for specifics and wait. Keep your body fed, hydrated, and away from doomscrolling. Let follow-through be the love language. Read your horoscope for the week , and see what the stars have in store for your sign today.  Aries: March 21 – April 19 There’s a weird power in doing nothing extra. Mars in Pisces says your value isn’t measured by how many fires you put out for other people. Aries, stop volunteering as the emergency contact f...
