BTS’ Jungkook seemingly shares support for NewJeans: “Don’t use them”

BTS member Jungkook has seemingly voiced his support for K-pop girl group NewJeans in new Instagram posts amid the ongoing HYBE–ADOR feud. BTS’ Jungkook uploaded two posts of his dog to his personal Instagram page on September 14, with captions that seem to reference K-pop quintet NewJeans. The first featured five different coloured hearts and the English sentence, “Artists are not guilty.” Fans began speculating that the post was made in support of NewJeans, as the colours of the five hearts match the quintet’s individual official colours. Later that same day, Jungkook posted a second photo to the same page, this time only with the English caption: “Don’t use them.” Advertisement Amid the speculation, Jungkook’s label Big Hit Music released a statement, per MyDaily, on the same day, where it clarified the intention behind the singer’s cryptic posts. However, the label did not explicitly mention the ADOR-HYBE feud or NewJeans. “We have confirmed that he made the posts because he thought that under no circumstances should young artists be dragged into conflicts or used as a shield,” the statement read, as translated by Soompi. Recommended Jungkook’s posts came just three days after the K-pop girl group hosted a surprise YouTube livestream… Read More →

Donald Trump confuses reggaeton singer Nicky Jam for a woman at Las Vegas rally

Donald Trump was seen confusing reggaeton artist Nicky Jam for a woman at a Las Vegas rally before Jam’s endorsement speech for the presidential candidate. Yesterday (September 13), the 43-year-old singer made an appearance at the rally to support Trump ahead of the US elections in November. Introducing Jam to the stage, Trump was captured telling the crowd: “Latin music superstar Nicky Jam. Do you know Nicky? She’s hot. Where is Nicky?” Jam came to the stage to Trump’s surprise, and the 78-year-old quickly changed tune – “Oh look, come here!”, he says to Jam before turning to the audience and saying “I’m glad he came up.” Advertisement “It’s an honor to meet you, Mr. President. People that come from where I come from, they don’t meet the president. So I’m lucky,” said Jam. “We need you. We need you back, right?

Liam Gallagher responds to rumours of Richard Ashcroft supporting Oasis on reunion tour

Liam Gallagher has addressed rumours that Richard Ashcroft could support Oasis on their reunion tour next year. After a fan on X/Twitter asked if Ashcroft would be supporting Oasis at their 2025 live shows, Gallagher replied in very typically Liam Gallagher fashion: “That would be BIBLICAL”. Ashcroft has a long history with Oasis, serving as the inspiration behind their 1995 hit ‘Cast No Shadow’. During a Select interview that year, Noel Gallagher said: “I always felt he was born at the wrong time and in the wrong place, and he was always trying to say the right things, but they came out wrong.” Gallagher enlisted him for a collaboration on his 2022 hit ‘C’mon People (We’re Making It Now)’. Ashcroft also appeared as a special guest when he headlined Finsbury Park in 2018. Ashcroft supporting the UK shows? — TUFFKNUX (@TUFFKNUX) September 13, 2024 Advertisement The Verve also played with Oasis numerous times, including as early as 1993 when both bands were relatively unknown.

Oasis share update on private ballot sale for final Wembley Stadium reunion shows tomorrow

Oasis have updated fans hoping to buy tickets in the private ballot for their final Wembley Stadium reunion shows tomorrow (September 14). There was unprecedented demand for the Britpop legends’ comeback tour next summer, involving fans being held in online queues for hours (with many being kicked out of line with Ticketmaster’s systems believing them to be ticket tout bots). A press release later confirmed that over 10million fans from 158 countries attempted to get tickets, meaning ticket platforms struggled to cope. In addition, there was controversy over price hikes associated with dynamic pricing, leading to hundreds of fans complaining to the Advertising Standards Agency (with investigations suggested by the UK government and the European Commission). Politicians like Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy also weighed in, calling for a review of the policy and secondary ticket sites. Similarly, Twickets announced a U-turn on their stance – capping their booking fee at a maximum of £25 per ticket – while Mark Davyd, CEO of the Music Venue Trust (MVT), used the scramble as a way to highlight the struggles faced by grassroots venues.

Nilüfer Yanya – My Method Actor

There have yet to be reports of Nilüfer Yanya refusing to answer to her own name, terrifying production assistants, or exhibiting any of the demanding off-camera behaviour once expected of Marlon Brando, Daniel Day-Lewis and other master thespians. Nevertheless, the notion of the method actor is a potent one for the London singer-songwriter. She’s spoken of the kinship she feels with these counterparts’ determination to ground performances in personal experiences and memories of trauma, essentially re-living those emotions in order to lend authenticity and urgency to present-day expressions. She sees her songs as a potential means to do the same. THE BEATLES, JONI MITCHELL, VAN MORRISON, MICHAEL KIWANUKA AND MORE STAR IN THE NEW UNCUT – ORDER YOUR COPY HERE! Another anxiety well-known to actors – or, indeed, to anyone who spends too much time on social media – surfaces throughout her third album as she captures and ponders instances of slippage between the versions of herself that are public and private, and of transitions between earlier, younger selves and who she is in the now. She often expresses a measure of uncertainty about what constitutes “my new costume” as she calls it in “Method Actor“, along with the worry… Read More →

Nick Lowe – Indoor Safari

When Nick Lowe toured America to promote Quality Street, his 2013 album of Christmas songs, his backing band was Yep Roc labelmates Los Straitjackets, retro rockers whose own albums suggested they hadn’t heard any new music since about 1965, their records awash with twanging instrumental rock’n’roll, rockabilly, surf music, teen ballads, some Tex-Mex and country. Nick, meanwhile, had been reversing into tomorrow, to borrow an old Stiff sales slogan, for most of his career, plausibly even earlier. They were a perfect musical match. And what a spectacle they offered! Four burly Americans in black hitman suits festooned with gold Aztec medallions, each sporting a lurid Mexican wrestling mask.

Lone Justice for all!

“People are saying it’s the first new Lone Justice record in 40 years, and I’m like… is it?” says Maria McKee, the band’s firebrand vocalist. The answer is both yes and no. While the group hasn’t released a proper full-length since 1986’s Shelter, upcoming album Viva Lone Justice isn’t technically new. McKee recorded the bulk of the material with ex-bandmates Marvin Etzioni and Don Heffington as demos for her 1992 solo effort You Gotta Sin To Get Saved. Dusting off those tapes in the wake of Heffington’s passing in 2021, Etzioni encouraged McKee to turn the sessions into a new solo album. Instead, she suggested they reach out to another former bandmate, guitarist Ryan Hedgecock, to add overdubs and release it under the Lone Justice name. THE BEATLES, JONI MITCHELL, VAN MORRISON, MICHAEL KIWANUKA AND MORE STAR IN THE NEW UNCUT – ORDER YOUR COPY HERE! Viva Lone Justice is a rollicking, eclectic ride that puts hillbilly country stomp alongside shimmery folk, barrelhouse blues and a faithfully ripping cover of The Undertones’ “Teenage Kicks”, recorded in honour of Feargal Sharkey who scored his only No 1 single in 1985 with the McKee-composed “A Good Heart”.

City to City: Introducing King Nun

“We’re really more of a cult than a band,” grins drummer Caius Stockley-Young from underneath an unseasonal woolly hat as he tries to explain the chemistry that defines King Nun. The five-piece formed when they were at school in south-west London and meet Uncut in nearby Kingston, scene of some of their earliest successes. It turns out that King Nun are a fairly self-contained unit. Caius produced their 2023 album LAMB at the Marshall Studio, brother Ethan (bass, percussion) painted the cover art, guitarist James Upton drives the tour van with Caius, while bassist Nathan Gane – “the human calendar” – is tour manager. That leaves singer Theo Polyzoides free to write lyrics, which are plucked from a pile of notebooks that he fills with ideas while the band are writing songs. It’s an admirably DIY approach, as you’d expect from a band that first bonded over a love of CGBG bands, particularly Marquee Moon, which became an early point of unity when they formed as teenagers in 2013. Their tastes have changed and diversified as they have got older, but LAMB still resounds with the punkish energy that saw them named Best Rock Newcomers at Bonnarroo festival.

That they tug and warp each other in space. I had read about block universe theory and it bothered me—if it were true, how do we really change anything? The song wove its own little message in response: this sense that all of us, our web of connections and the friction of our relationships, are the fuel that propels us through time… and that inevitably we are consumed by it. But what a spectacular thing to get a chance to ignite this vast, incomprehensible space with our lives. To have gotten an invitation to be here at all.”
