The 50 Greatest Eminem Songs

3 days ago | rollingstoneindia.com | Christopher R. Weingarten |Brittany Spanos |Mosi Reeves |David Drake

The best from the bloody, bombastic, brilliant career of the hip-hop troublemaker Though he’s been a multiplatinum, Grammy-winning star for over 20 years, Eminem is not an unequivocally triumphant figure, either within pop music or within his own mind. Just listen to the vulnerability and self-doubt on his recent single “Walk on Water.” The Detroit rapper continues to make art about how people are driven crazy by weakness and lack.

1 month ago | stereogum.com | Christopher R. Weingarten

After the abrupt retirement of beloved drum rocktopus Tim “Herb” Alexander, veteran alt-metal oddballs Primus held open auditions for a new sticksman, combing through more than 6,000 videos and an untold number of dudes attempting the triple-bounce kick pattern from “John The Fisherman.” In February, the winner of the “Interstellar Drum Derby” was revealed to be 45-year-old John Hoffman, a tall, skinny, affable, preternaturally chill dude from Shreveport, Louisiana who just happens to plays...

When scumfuckers like Wolf Eyes and Hair Police were painting America’s bloody noise underground with the rotted hues of VHS horror in the early ’00s, Chicago’s Drumm, a fellow traveler and seasoned sound artist, emerged with something sleeker and sharper.

Tim Hecker would like to show you his reel. During the 2020 pandemic, the veteran power-ambient iconoclast began ramping up his film scoring work. His amorphous combination of distended dronework and analog orchestration began to infect horror films and TV dramas like a haunted Hans Zimmer.
Ladies and Gentlemen, 38 Key Musical Moments on 'S.N.L.'

Jan 25, 2025 | nytimes.com | Christopher R. Weingarten

From the age of the 8-track to the time of TikTok, the "Saturday Night Live" stage has adapted to (and subsequently outlived) every musical trend in the last half-century. From its early days as an extension of a young creative team's edgy tastes (Sun Ra, Tom Waits, Ornette Coleman) to its current station as a state-of-the-pop-union address, "S.N.L." can break a musical guest or destroy them, providing no shortage of in-studio tensions, national controversies and unforgettable magic.

'The Texas Chain Saw Massacre' Score, a Noisy Gem, Will Arrive at Last

Dec 11, 2024 | nytimes.com | Christopher R. Weingarten

In 1996, years before helping to found the experimental rock institution Animal Collective, David Portner and Brian Weitz were Baltimore high school pals who diligently hunted for the soundtrack album that perfectly meshed their love of the unorthodox sound worlds of musique concrète and the thrills of horror movies: "The Texas Chain Saw Massacre.""It wasn't really till years later that I found out that it had never been released," Portner said.
