Michael Stipe has clarified some of the most legendarily misheard lyrics to R.E.M.’s ‘It’s The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)’. The rapid-fire lyrics to the classic 1987 single have long been the source of speculation among fans, with Stipe’s signature under-enunciated delivery style during the band’s early days only further muddying the waters. The frontman took to Bluesky over the weekend, sharing a Simpsons meme in which Homer claims to be able to sing every word to the song, only to be told that nobody can. “I can,” Stipe quipped. I can —…

Stray Kids’ fourth studio album KARMA is, in a word, full of delightful surprises. Helmed once again by 3RACHA — Bang Chan, Changbin and HAN — the record carries forward the group’s unmistakable identity, as seen in their earlier full-length projects: 5-STAR (2023), NOEASY (2021) and GO LIVE (2020). Yet KARMA distinguishes itself with a strikingly more cohesive sense of unity, elevating Stray Kids’ artistry to a new level of refinement. The album comprises 11 tracks, including “CEREMONY” in both a Festival Version and an English Version. While the project spans a wider range of genres than ever before, it…
Stephen King has criticised the depiction of violence in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, describing it as “pornographic”. The writer, who is most adapted living author in cinematic history, was speaking about the extent of the violence in the new film The Long Walk, which is based on his 1979 novel of the same name.

Bucket hats, soccer/football jerseys and beer pints were plentiful among the crowd at Oasis Live ‘25 — as was a feeling of camaraderie and cultural significance that reminded me of attending Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour at the same venue two years prior. Yes, the Oasis crowd skews older and maler – a group of middle-aged guys aptly…
