Four decades after Fear’s debut album shook up punk-rock morals for a generation, the band is recognizing its legacy with an expansive box-set reissue. Earlier this year, frontman Lee Ving and his bandmates reacquired control of the original master tapes of The Record from Warner Music, which they’re remastering. (The rights officially reverted to the group on Monday.) They’re complementing The Record with a collection of 28 demos, rough mixes, and outtakes as well as live recording from 1982. Preorders for the reissue will begin on May 16 — the 40th...

Action Bronson is spending a little inspiration with a new campaign with Oakley, dubbed “Be Who You Are.”
Centering on a motivational film narrated by Bronson, the sunglasses brand’s new anthem encourages self-expression and self-confidence. The short film, showing athletes doing that thing that makes them feel their best, stars both amateurs and professional athletes including Oksana Masters, Patrick Mahomes, Francisco Lindor, Pauline Ferrand-Prevot and Nigel Sylvester.
The film and social movement follow the release of Oakley’s Kato sunglasses, which were debuted in new gold Prizm 24K lenses at the Tokyo Olympics.

Modest Mouse were the perfect “right time, right place” band for the early Aughts indie-rock gold rush. They had legit Nineties alt-rock bona fides (Beat Happening’s Calvin Johnson co-produced Mouse’s high water mark, ’97’s The Lonesome Crowded West), and frontman Isaac Brock wrote quirky, clever songs in the traditions of Pavement, Pixies and early Beck, indulging a sort of unobjectionable, ready-for-primetime irony that perfectly soundtracked commercials between segments of The Office. One of those jingles, “Float On,” helped them score a platinum record, and before the decade was up,...

Amazon Prime Video’s “Invincible” is cause for celebration: the Robert Kirkman comic book adaptation not only offers the first hourlong, adult animated superhero series — in all its graphically violent glory — but it’s also wrapped around a single dramatic narrative. This makes it uniquely compelling, particularly in comparison to the MCU and Dceu.
“It was a hard sell and I give Amazon the credit for taking a chance on this because it hadn’t been done before,” Kirkman, who serves as series creator, said. There were no restrictions when it came to violence and gore, and the show’s popularity with the comic book fan base and beyond has resulted in the streamer greenlighting two more seasons, allowing Kirkman to continue turning the animated superhero story completely on its head.
“Invincible” revolves around 17-year-old Mark Grayson/Invincible (voiced by Steven Yeun of “Minari” and Kirkman’s “Walking Dead” series...

It's a shock to go back and watch "Midnight Cowboy" 45 years after its debut (on May 25, 1969) and see how raw and otherworldly it looks. After all, the X-rated Best Picture Oscar-winner has been so thoroughly assimilated into American pop culture that even kiddie entertainments like the Muppets have copied from it.
The tale of the unlikely friendship between naïve Texas gigolo Joe Buck (Jon Voight) and frail Bronx con man Enrico "Ratso" Rizzo (Dustin Hoffman), "Midnight Cowboy" was initially considered so risqué that it's the only X-rated movie ever to win the Academy's top prize (though after it won, the ratings board reconsidered and gave the film an R). Still, the film featured two lead performances and a few individual scenes that were so iconic that homages (and parodies) have popped up virtually everywhere. (Most often imitated is the scene where Ratso, limping across a busy Manhattan street, is nearly...

Elvis Presley: Double Elvis (Ferus Type) Elvis Presley as a cowboy as seen by Andy Warhol. Warhol's Presley Portrait "Double Elvis (Ferus Type)" will be sold to the highest bidder at Sotheby's on May 9. The 1963 portrait, owned by a "private collector," is expected to sell for anywhere between $30-50 million. As per Sotheby's, this is the first "Double Elvis" to appear on the market since 1995. And to think I had no idea there had ever been more than one Elvis despite his myriad imitators. In truth, Warhol painted 22 images of Elvis Presley, nine of which belong to various museum collections. Presley starred in about 30 films, mostly flimsy musicals (e.g., Blue Hawaii, Harum Scarum, Kissin' Cousins) featuring minor leading ladies as his love interest. Exceptions include the Westerns Love Me Tender (1956), with Richard Egan and Debra Paget, and Flaming Star (1960), with Barbara Eden and Dolores del Rio; the...
