Hempstead, Long Island-born Mc Roc Marciano has frequently referenced his stage name with his project titles: Marcberg, Marci Beaucoup, Marcielago, to name a few. His new release is Marciology, which dropped with a mystery comic-derived album cover that ominously mentions “a cult…..”
Of course, more than a decade and 11 projects removed from his early days in Busta Rhymes’ orbit, Marciano already has plenty of supporters sipping the Kool-Aid. Since setting his career on a new path with 2011’s Marcberg, he’s spawned a cult fanbase that reveres him for reviving...

English quartet Glass Animals are back to announce their fourth album, I Love You So F***ing Much, and shared the LP’s lead single, “Creatures in Heaven.” Update: Glass Animals have announced a 2024 world tour.
Due out July 19th, I Love You So F***ing Much is Glass Animals’ follow up to 2020’s Dreamland, which gave the band their first #1 hit in the US with “Heat Waves.” The new album, then, was born from the chaos of supporting a record during the pandemic and finding newfound success within the band. Frontman Dave Bayley claims that I Love You So F***ing Much came from an existential crisis: “Life can change dramatically, but sometimes you aren’t able to change as quickly on a personal level,” Bayley writes in a statement. “You end up feeling like a spectator. And then you are asked and expected to be a certain type of person,...

Nearly four years after “Heat Waves” rose to become a chart-topping, pandemic-era hit, Glass Animals will return with their new album I Love You So F***ing Much, their first LP since 2020’s Dreamland spawned their smash single.
The album, due out July 19, was inspired in part by frontman Dave Bayley’s experience becoming a global sensation — “Heat Waves” was the biggest single by a British band in more than 30 years — amidst a pandemic that sent much of the world into quarantine, with the band unable to celebrate their newfound...

Pink Floyd have released a remaster of their magnum opus The Dark Side of the Moon, out now via Pink Floyd/Warner Music.
The polished-up edition of the album was originally released back in March with The Dark Side of the Moon 50th Anniversary Box Set, but this is the first time that the standalone Dark Side remaster is available on its own. Pressed on vinyl, CD, and Blu-ray formats, the physical package comes equipped with postcards, stickers, and a 24-page booklet commemorating the record, which Consequence recently crowned one of the greatest albums of all time.
Notably, Pink Floyd’s Dark Side remaster arrives just a week after embattled ex-member Roger Waters shared The Dark Side of the Moon Redux, a track-by-track re-recording of the album on his own terms. He teased it with some — ahem — interesting versions of “Time” and “Money.”

Controversial artist Roger Waters is back with a controversial new release: a re-recording of Pink Floyd’s The Dark Side of the Moon, made without the involvement of any of the other members of Pink Floyd. Listen to The Dark Side of the Moon Redux below via Apple Music or Spotify.
Beyond giving Waters the opportunity to one-up his estranged bandmates, re-recording one of the most famous albums of all time appeared to give the artist a chance to update its message for modern times, with a matured perspective. “The original Dark Side of the Moon feels in some ways like the lament of an elder being on the human condition,” Waters said in a statement. “But Dave [Gilmour], Rick [Wright], Nick [Mason], and I were so young when we made it, and when you look at the world around us, clearly the message hasn’t stuck. That’s why I started...

Roger Waters has unveiled reworked renditions of “Speak To Me / Breathe” from his upcoming album of re-recordings, The Dark Side of the Moon Redux, which interpolates Pink Floyd lyrics from “Free Four” off 1972’s Obscured by Clouds.
While the two-part opening track from 1973’s The Dark Side of the Moon served as a type of overture introducing sounds and motifs used throughout the album, the redux version appears to similarly set the tone for the new collection. In a spoken word introduction, Waters recites the opening verse of “Free Four,” saying: “The memories of a man in his old age/ Are the deeds of a man in his prime,” which nearly echo his statement announcing the album as “the lament of an elder being on the human condition.”
Later lines such as “Eighty years with luck or even less” also pair nicely with his initial comments on the project where...

Picolo Pictures has unveiled exclusive first-look images for their upcoming feature “On the Run” (“La petite cavale”), currently presented at Annecy’s MIFA Pitches.
The film will see a young male blue penguin, Cookie, who dreams of becoming a dad. Cookie can’t lay an egg, but a volcanic eruption turns his New Zealand refuge upside down and sets a curious soft echidna’s egg in his path. What if this was the little one he had been waiting for?
“At the heart of the film is our wish to tell the story of a family bond,” its director Julien Bisaro tells Variety. Bisaro co-writes with Claire Paoletti.
“That’s one of the major issues for our two characters, who belong to completely different species: Making it work! These kinds of unexpected adoptions can be observed in real life too: a cat raises chicks, a leopard raises a baby baboon and so on.

Julien Bisaro and Claire Paoletti, the French director-writer team behind award-winning short Shooom’s Odyssey (2020) are setting their feature debut. The duo pitched the animated feature La Petite Cavale (On The Run) to co-production partners, as well as producers and broadcasters, at an industry session at this year’s Annecy animation festival on Wednesday. Bisaro and Paoletti screened a two-minute pilot for the project, which France’s Picolo Pictures are producing.
The kids-friendly feature focuses on Cookie, a male penguin who cannot lay an egg. When a volcanic eruption disrupts his New Zealand refuge and rolls an echidna egg in his path, Cookie takes it as a sign that this is the opportunity for fatherhood he has been longing for, and decides to raise the echidna chick as his own.
The bird theme and focus on parenthood recall Bisaro and Paoletti’s Shooom’s Odyssey, which told the story of little owl...

Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon was announced in 1973 at a press conference held at the London Planetarium, a spectral site which mirrored the album cover’s beam of light refracted through a triangle into a rainbow. Perhaps the iconic prismatic image provided the initial idea for fans to sync the classic film The Wizard of Oz (1939) to the album’s rock soundscape.
The band’s history with movies is vast and varied. They scored films in the aftermath of the demise and departure of the band’s founder, Syd Barrett. The success of Dark Side of the Moon also helped the group become motion picture producers, investing in the 1975 comedy Monty Python and the Holy Grail. The Wall, directed by Alan Parker and starring Bob Geldof, pushed boundaries and redefined a rock opera on film. And while the bassist/vocalist/songwriter Roger Waters didn’t let Stanley Kubrick...

On 1 March 1973, a new moon rose over rock music. Immersive, quadrophonic, celestial and deeply introspective, Pink Floyd’s eighth album arrived in a heady flurry of cash tills, chiming clocks, pained-angel arias and cold, disembodied voices speaking of violence, death and insanity. Where their prog-rock peers were busy crafting grandiose yet chintzy pantomimes of Arthurian legend, sci-fi fantasy and messianic pinball, the Floyd delved into the dark universe of humanity’s inner space; into the stresses and horrors of everyday life that daily push us all to the brink. A record as relatable as it was cosmic, as melodic on the topics of “Time” and “Money” as it was climactic on the themes of war, division and madness, The Dark Side of the Moon set a new standard for high-concept intellectual rock. Forty-five million prism-clad units later, it remains the fourth best-selling record ever made.

It's not every day that you get into a bar fight with Luke Skywalker, but actor Matt Berry got to participate in this scenario when Mark Hamill guest-starred on an episode of "What We Do in the Shadows." This FX comedy series follows vampires Nandor, Laszlo, Nadja, and Colin Robinson in their daily (or nightly) lives in Staten Island with their human familiar, Guillermo. The show quickly became a hit amongst fans, and it now has a fourth season scheduled to premiere in 2022.
Fans particularly loved the Season 2 episode "On the Run," in which Laszlo Cravensworth (played by Berry) encounters Jim the Vampire (played by Hamill), who...

Writing dialogue for Matt Berry is the kind of dream every writer aspires to. The man could make the phone book sound like poetry, so it must be pure ecstasy getting to hear your words come out of his mouth, complete with British lilt and impeccable elocution. "What We Do in the Shadows" writer Stefani Robinson got to take that magic a step further, writing dialogue for Berry as his character Lazlo's alter-ego, Regular Human Bartender Jackie Daytona. Robinson was nominated for an Emmy for her writing on the season 2 episode "On the Run," which sees Lazlo hiding out from Jim...
