Hyperpop heroes 100 Gecs get back at Santa Claus for a poor showing of presents on their new holiday song, “Sympathy 4 the Grinch.”
The track finds the duo reaching into their bag of musical tricks and pulling out a ska-heavy sound (complete with requisite “pick it up!” ad-libs) to back their tale of Christmas vengeance. Laura Les and Dylan Brady share vocal duties, crafting the story of a person so disappointed with their gifts that they find Santa and steal his whole bag: “Never gave me a goddamn thing that I want,...

100 Gecs have recast the classic cat and mouse chase as a bonkers fever dream in the new video for their remix of “Hand Crushed by a Mallet” featuring Fall Out Boy, Craig Owens and Nicole Dollanganger.
The animated video — directed by Dario Alva and written by Weston Allen — boasts an aesthetic that feels ripped straight from the kind of blacklight poster one might find at a head shop. In the clip, a mouse steals a precious key from a mushroom-headed creature, kicking off a wild pursuit through a surreal, multi-faceted...

To say Charli Xcx took a six-year “break” between her sophomore breakthrough Sucker and her latest, Charli, is a little misleading. Over those six years, the “Blame It on Your Love” singer released two lauded mixtapes, an Ep, and a few singles. She also stayed busy writing songs for other artists, including Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello’s Number One hit “Señorita” and spent most of 2018 opening for Taylor Swift on the star’s global Reputation trek. Ending her album dry spell meant that Charli Xcx, now 27, had to get...

After several live performances of the track and much teasing on social media, Charli Xcx and Christine and the Queens released the new single,”Gone.”
“This song is about those situations where you are surrounded by loads of people but feel so isolated and alone,” Charli Xcx wrote on Instagram. “I feel like that a lot of the time in social situations. I never know what to do with myself, I feel so insecure and out of place and lost. I feel like a lot of people I know get those feelings.

Facing another tragic event, Johnny Cash’s great-niece Courtney Cash was found stabbed to death in her Tennessee home on Wednesday (March 19).
Putnam County Sheriff David Andrew stated the late musician’s kin was found stuffed into a box inside her home about 70 miles east of Nashville.
Andrews described the scene inside the house as “somewhat bloody” and added “there was a struggle.”
Miss Cash’s boyfriend William Austin Johnson is currently being treated for stab wounds at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. He apparently escaped the gruesome attack with he and Courtney’s child.
Although the motive has yet to be released to the public, the sheriff believes drugs are involved. “This is a senseless, tragic death of a young lady whose life was probably taken as a direct or indirect result of drugs.”
The couple’s friend, Wayne Gary Masciarella, was charged with first-degree murder in connection with the attack.

Nashville, Tenn. -- A yearlong celebration of Johnny Cash's legacy will come to an end this week with the issue of a new postal stamp and free public concert.
The new Johnny Cash Forever stamp goes on sale Wednesday and to celebrate Cash's son, John Carter Cash, and several friends and family members will gather at Ryman Auditorium. The stamp is based around a promotional shot for the 1963 album "Ring of Fire: The Best of Johnny Cash." To Cash it looks like a 45 or 78 Rpm record cover and is unlike the usual offerings – matching his father's legacy.
"It just truly embodies my father's spirit, who he was," Cash said. "It's different. That's one thing: It stands out to me as being unique. It's very commanding when you see the stamp."
Wednesday's concert features Cash family members, including the late singer's brother and sister, Tommy Cash and Joanne Cash Yates,...
