Leto denied the allegations. Now, the BBC has published …

BTS have always wanted to win a Grammy. Since the South Korean idol group ascended to global superstardom, they’ve mentioned they Grammys as a career goal many, many times.

Sabrina Fuentes’ Pretty Sick project has come a long way since it started out as a fuzzed-out New York grunge band a decade ago. On her upcoming album Anarchy, Fuentes teams up with Oscar Scheller, the London producer who has made hits with PinkPantheress and Lily Allen and who just did great work on Kelela’s new avatar album, to make …

The new Lou Barlow-led Dinosaur Jr. single reminds me so much of Pearl Jam. It makes sense; Eddie Vedder came of age at just the right time to be smitten with Dinosaur, and both acts swear allegiance to Neil Young.

Rather than releasing a few advance singles, he’s sharing new songs all year, with another one arriving whenever there’s a full moon. Today, he shares the sprawling and tender “One by One,” which lasts for nearly 10 minutes and which presumably functions …

It’s a crime that 93-year-old American hero Willie Nelson should even have to consider what the term “data center” means. But Austin, the city that Nelson has called home since 1972, is now a hub of tech-mogul idiocy. Someone is also apparently planning to build a data center near Abbott, the tiny Texas town where Nelson grew up. So now, …
