Happy New Music Friday friends! To quote one of my favoite 30 Rock lines , “What a week, huh?” This week’s lineup of tunes ranges from gothic soundscapes to indie stalwarts and some dirty metal from the south. I’ll keep you waiting no longer. “Paleomagnetic Resonance” by Lustmord Lombardo This tune is cosmically sinister, and I’m here for it. Lustmord Lombardo is a music super-duo composed of Lustmord—modern ambient electronic music pioneer—and heavy metal drummer extraordinaire, Dave Lombardo (Slayer, Suicidal Tendencies). The pair has teamed up for a haunting project that unites and magnifies their individual strengths. The first track released is “Paleomagnetic Resonance”, and it’s a deep, ethereal musical journey. Lustmord Lombardo will release their debut album, The Pulse of Atoms , on Oct. 2, via Ipecac Recordings. “Spill” by Slow Pulp Indie rock maestros Slow Pulp hav...

The grunge genre is surprisingly good at producing catchy songs . Of course, the well-known bands are still relevant because they made such great songs, and it’s difficult to single out the best of all time. But, we tried anyway, and the results feature some grunge classics. “Plush” by Stone Temple Pilots Stone Temple Pilots released “Plush” on their debut 1992 album Core , with one of the most recognizable and catchiest choruses in grunge. STP was pretty good at writing hooks in general, and it’s difficult to choose just one from their discography. But “Plush” stands out for its longevity despite almost unintelligible lyrics. Overall, “Plush” was huge for the band, even though critics at the time found it derivative. Still, it was the first alt-rock song to top the Billboard Album Rock Tracks chart. Additionally, it earned Stone Temple Pilots an MTV Video Music Award for Best New Artist in 1993, and the 199...

In 2001, a jam session paired together two entirely different stars for a brief moment. Thankfully, they never followed through on these potential plans to collaborate. By then, Limp Bizkit was among the most prominent nu metal bands following the success of their 1999 sophomore album and its 2000 follow-up. Shortly after, guitarist Wes Borland left the band, citing creative differences. Fred Durst and Limp Bizkit were left wondering what to do next when a record executive introduced Fred Durst to legendary rock guitarist Eddie Van Halen at a Hollywood party. In the bizarre meeting, Durst joked about how funny it would be to have the world’s greatest guitarist in the world’s worst band. Eddie Van Halen agreed to jam with the band to feel out the situation. Author Andrew Bennett detailed the experience in his book Eruption in the Canyon: 212 Days & Nights With the Genius of Eddie Van Halen . The jam session was to take place at Durst’s Beverly Hills home. ...

When it comes to beef in the last 20 years, Pusha T has usually had a role in it. All of Drake’s major adversaries after his Meek Mill feud have his name on it. Kendrick Lamar used a lot of the same angles Push did in his own feud with Drake. The love-hate relationship between the Toronto MC and Kanye West saw Pusha on the sidelines, too. But why is the Clipse legend at the scene of every conflict in hip-hop? All of it traces back to one inciting incident: Birdman just didn’t want to pay The Neptunes for their work. Back in 2002, Birdman and Clipse collaborated on “What Happened to That Boy”, produced by Pharrell and Chad Hugo. However, according to prominent DJ Ebro Darden , the head of Cash Money never properly paid what was owed. Consequently, Pharrell, Pusha T, and Malice allegedly vowed never to work with Birdman or any of the rappers on his label ever again. Additionally, when Lil Wayne reached out to get his hands on Billionaire Boys Club clo...

The morning after something big always feels a little anticlimactic — the sky goes back to its regular business, the alarm still goes off, and you’re left holding whatever the eclipse handed you. That’s where we are today, stargazer, and it’s not a bad place to be. Mercury sextiling Venus at noon makes this one of the better days of the week for conversation — saying the thing you’ve been trying to say, making the connection you’ve been circling. Jupiter and Mercury are building toward an exact conjunction Saturday, which means the ideas are still gaining traction. The reset happened. Now comes the part where you decide what to do with it. Read your horoscope for the week , and see what the stars have in store for your sign today.  Aries: March 21 – April 19 Yesterday the eclipse fired and something got set in motion. Today is the morning after — and Mars in Cancer isn’t interested in charging ahead of what you just started...

Pokémon Emerald Switch 2 Release Date Reportedly Leaked Screenshot: The Pokémon Company, Nintendo A new leak claims that the rumored Pokémon Emerald Switch 2 port will be released in either September or October 2026 .
