Over the course of the past couple years, I've found myself oscillating wildly when it comes to how I feel about dubstep music. I'll fall in love with an artist only to hear a slew of different releases that sound like they're grinding through the same sound sources en route to more brain-rattling blandness. Like any genre, it's hit-or-miss, and as a somewhat casual observer I find it hard to know where to turn (even having felt let-down by several high profile releases).

Despite Car Alarm being the eighth album from Sea And Cake, and despite my love of many bands who share members and locale, I have never reviewed an album of theirs on this site. I guess this is as good of any place to start, as it's one of their most solid releases in some time (although, to be fair the group has never really stumbled in a major way). Although the group has been together for fifteen years now, albums have usually arrived at a more drawn-out pace, but for this twelve-song, forty-minute release they went straight into the studio right on the heels of a long tour in order to try to capture the energy and spontaneity properly.

As a solo artist, James Blackshaw is prolific enough, so imagine my surprise when I found out that he's also put out not one, but two collaborative albums with lutenist/ composer Jozef van Wissem under the name Brethren Of The Free Spirit. Earlier this year, the duo released All Things Are From Him, Through Him, and In Him in limited versions on the AudioMer label, and now they're already back with another selection of long tracks on The Wolf Shall Also Dwell with the Lamb on Important Records.

"I do a lot of research. A lot. I try to write about society today, about things around us, and I want that to be as accurate as possible. If a character is imprisoned, I´ll go to that prison and see what his surroundings are like. If a character goes to Ustaoset by train, I´ll do that same journey." (Thomas Enger) "Značně bádám. Hodně. Snažím se psát o dnešní společnosti, o věcech kolem nás a chci, aby to bylo přesné, jak je to jen možné. Pokud je postava ve vězení, půjdu se tam...

The former 'Games of Thrones' actress is adapting the popular 2019 children's book by Christian McKay Heidicker into an animated television mini-series.

Sharing details about the alleged incident, the reality TV star says, 'People were interested in putting me down, dragging me down and showing me who is the queen bee.'

In a surprising twist, the upcoming Netflix series is executive produced by Robert Downey, Jr., who is famously known as Iron Man in Marvel Cinematic Universe, and his wife Susan Downey.

In some pictures featuring the award-winning actress as the American civil servant, Sarah is wearing a white top that she pairs with brown fat pantsuit.

His statement arrives after a group of 467 former contestants of the game show penned an open letter to the show, demanding an apology from the show's producers for not censoring a controversial hand gesture in an episode.

Based on the 2004 true-crime docuseries of the same name, the eight-episode series itself focuses on Michael Peterson, who was accused of murdering his wife Kathleen in 2001.

On the Disney Night, the Top 10 of the current season 19 hit the stage to sing Disney classics with host Ryan Seacrest announcing Arthur Gunn, the runner-up of season 18, as the Comeback winner.
