• Sónar 2015 Lineup: Skrillex, FKA twigs, Flying Lotus, Die Antwoord Added

    Sónar Festival just got a lot bigger with a second batch of artists that have been added to its 2015 lineup. The legendary Barcelona, Spain-based festival has added 32 names to its roster of artists, and it did not skimp on the acts. Sticking to the mission of keeping away from your typical commercial acts, Sónar added names like Jamie xx, Maya Jane Coles, Die Antwoord, Flying Lotus and FKA twigs to the roster. Not afraid to push boundaries, Sónar has tabbed Skrillex as one of its Phase 2 headliners, which caused quite a stir the first time around, but now not many will raise a fuss this time because hating on Skrillex has largely gone out of style.

  • Katy Perry & Lenny Kravitz's "Leaked" Super Bowl Song Surfaces Courtesy Of Tim Heidecker [LISTEN]

    Katy Perry's Super Bowl song featuring Lenny Kravitz has leaked. By song, we mean fake song, and by leaked we mean purposely released as a joke. The song actually comes from Tim Heidecker, the Tim and Eric franchise comedian, who is known for his Super Bowl halftime show "leaks." As Billboard notes, last year he dropped the unintelligible "Abracadabralifornia" ahead of the Red Hot Chili Peppers' Super Bowl halftime appearance, and in 2012 he leaked a "Madonna" song that featured a terrible impersonator scatting and singing vague things about football.
  • Sam Smith Discusses Taylor Swift, Frank Sinatra & Being an Old Soul in New 'GQ' Interview

    Sam Smith is nothing if not an old soul. Not only is his debut album In The Lonely Hour an instant classic, with heartbreaking anthems like "Stay With Me" and "I'm Not The Only One," but he's got an elegance about him that seems like it's from another era - and he's aware of that. In a new interview with GQ, Smith opens up about his desire for another time, strive for perfection and his surprising love for one very modern pop star, Taylor Swift.
  • The War on Drugs Frontman Adam Granduciel Discusses Sun Kil Moon Feud, New Music

    One of the strangest and funniest music feuds in recent memory was the -- mostly -- one-sided battle between Sun Kil Moon and The War on Drugs from last year, throughout which War on Drugs frontman Adam Granduciel tried his best to take the high road and remain silent about the whole thing. Now, in a new interview with "Uncut," Granduciel has opened up a bit more about the feud, telling Sun Kil Moon frontman Mark Kozelek to "get over" himself and suggesting that Kozelek was perhaps "playing this part" instead of being genuinely outraged.
  • Fall Out Boy and Meghan Trainor Set January Mark with New Albums on Billboard 200, while Taylor Swift Stays Comfortable

    Fall Out Boy and a slew of other new albums broke the dam and brought forth a flood of debuts back onto the Billboard 200 after the holiday sales lull. That band's American Beauty/American Psycho premiered at no. 1 with 218,000 equivalent albums sold, and its 192,000 actual album sales teamed with Meghan Trainor's debut last week for the first pair of albums released during January to top 150,000 apiece since 2010. American Beauty marked a significant uptick in sales from the band's 2013 album Save Rock and Roll.
  • Is Johnny Depp Getting Ready to Part With Longtime Agent After Four Film Flops?

    If you have not made a beeline to the theater to see Johnny Depp in "Mortdecai," do not worry: You have saved yourself some torture, as the film has been called the one of the actor's "worst flops ever". Obviously, not every film is going to be a hit, but Depp's major problem is that the last four of his have absolutely tanked. "Mortdecai" being the worst of the bunch seems to indicate that his choices have been getting worse instead of better. The actor is said to be so crushed by the critical panning of his recent performances that he is contemplating some major changes. According to a report by Page Six, Depp might be considering a change in management and might be looking to part with his longtime agent.
  • 'RHOBH' Yolanda Foster Reunites With Family After Lyme Disease Treatment in Asia

    Yolanda Foster's continued battle with Lyme disease is by far the most "real" story on "RHOBH." She confirmed shortly before Christmas that she was experiencing a flare-up that had landed her back in the hospital. Then, just last week, Foster confirmed that her illness had pretty much killed her ability to read because she is now struggling to process information. After leaving the hospital, Foster decided to seek treatment in Asia, and last night she confirmed that she was finally back home with her family.

  • Marvin Gaye/Robin Thicke, Pharrell Williams 'Blurred Lines' Lawsuit Hits Roadblock as Audio Recordings Disallowed

    Marvin Gaye's estate insists that "Blurred Lines," the top song of 2013 by Robin Thicke and Pharrell Williams, is unmistakably similar to the soul singer's "Got To Give It Up," and indeed many who listen to the tracks will be able to hear the likeness. However, a judge has ruled that jurors in the case won't be able to listen to the two songs as part of their deliberations...which hardly seems fair but there is legal reasoning behind it.
