At this point, avant-garde indie-pop singer Grimes is becoming as well-known for her outlandish statements as she is for her music. The truly bewildering part is that nobody can tell whether or not she’s just trolling when she says things like the “earth is only 4,000 years old” or that she wants to surgically modify herself into a creature from a Guillermo Del Toro movie.
Her latest wild claim is about meeting her idol, Game Of Thrones author George R.R. Martin. She says that while she doesn’t normally get starstruck, she was so dumbfounded when she met him that she introduced herself as a completely different pop star. “I’m immune to most celebrities,” she wrote on Twitter. “but when I met George RR Martin I was so beside myself that when he asked my name I said ‘Gaga’. Unbelievably tragic fumble.”

As with most of her offbeat tweets, it’s unclear if she’s trolling and if she is, just who she is. Did she really call herself Lady Gaga? Was this some sort of elaborate revenge for his near-constant pump-faking about finishing his long-running series, A Song Of Ice And Fire? Or was she really such a big fan of the books that she temporarily forgot her stage name and offered the first one to share a letter with hers (the only reasonable explanation for such a strange error)? The answer is only truly known to Grimes, who for better or worse, at least offers plenty of entertainment value.
Netflix has set the stage for its second global fan event. On September 23rd, the streaming service’s Tudum event (sound it out) will jump from country to country to share news, first looks, and footage from a slew of its favorite shows and movies. The trailer boasts a metric ton of superstar talent, including the cast of Stranger Things, Gal Gadot, Rian Johnson, and dozens more. All of them carry the tantalizing promise of stoking the fandom fires.
Launching at 7pm Pacific, Tudum will highlight its Korean programming; at 10:30 Pacific, they’ll share movies and TV from India; at 10am Pacific the next morning, it’s time for the United States, Europe, and Latin America to take a turn; and, finally, Japan will close things out at 9pm Pacific on September 24th.
Obviously, there are some intriguing names there, including the Bridgerton spin-off, more Lupin, and an Enola Holmes sequel, but every fan will have a different title they lose their minds over. Netflix is ready to serve.
Plus, the existence of their sound-effect-based event proves that Dun-Dun, a Law & Order fan event, isn’t such a far-fetched idea.
For the past two weeks, R. Kelly has been on trial for child pornography charges in Chicago. Today, after two days of deliberation, the jury reached a verdict. Kelly was accused of 13 charges, including producing child pornography, enticing minors for sex, and obstructing justice his 2008 child pornography trial. He was found guilty, according to CBS Chicago, of six of the 13 counts.
R, Kelly guilty of counts 1-3, 9, 10, and 12. Not guilty on counts 4-8, 11, and 13. Derrel McDavid not guilty on all counts (5-8) Milton brown not guilty on all counts, Count 6.
Ahead of the trial, Kelly made efforts to ban jurors who’d seen the Lifetime docuseries Surviving R. Kelly on the grounds that they’d be biased against him. After the judge dismissed his request, the trial proceeded in late August. Among the witnesses against Kelly were the now-37-year-old woman who featured in the leaked original sextape when she was just 14 years old. Testifying under a false name after being granted immunity for lying on the stand in the 2008 trial. “because I was afraid to expose Robert…,” she said, “I became exhausted with living with his lies.”
Another witness for the prosecution testified that he’d been offered a substantial reward to recover the leaked tape. He said that, in addition to receiving $100,000 plus expenses, it was suggested to him that he could earn up to $1 million to verify it was the original tape and no copies had been made. He also said he kept copies until as recently as 2019, but only turned them in after learning the police were investigating him “because the police wasn’t going to pay me a million dollars.”
During its first season back in 2014, the podcast Serial focused on the 1999 strangulation murder of Hae Min Lee, whose investigation resulted in the conviction of Adnan Syed, 17 at the time of her death. Syed has always maintained his innocence, and Serial — as well as the HBO doc series The Case Against Adnan Syed — have led many to question his sentence while obsessing over certain theories. Over the last two decades-plus, there have been multiple appeals and one failed attempt at a new trial. But now there’s yet another twist in the case.
As per The Wall Street Journal, prosecutors in Baltimore are asking that Syed’s conviction be vacated, citing a year-long investigation they say has produced new evidence, including two possible alternative suspects. As such, they arguing for a new trial. They won’t assert that Syed is innocent, but they will say the State “no longer has confidence in the integrity of the conviction.” Until that new trial, they say Syed should be released of his own recognizance.
Among the new evidence is one point that particularly captivated obsesses of the case: the grassy lot where Lee’s car was found, which some think may completely change the investigation. That information was not available in the 2000 trial that resulted in a life sentence for Syed.
There’s also evidence pointing to two suspects, who may have worked together or independently — information that was also not present in the initial trial:
In their reinvestigation, prosecutors found a document in the state’s trial file detailing one person’s statement, saying that one of the suspects had motive to kill Ms. Lee and had threatened her in the presence of another person. The suspect said “he would make her [Ms. Lee] disappear. He would kill her,” according to the court filing.
Prosecutors point to what they call an “abundance of issues that gives the State overwhelming cause for concern.” The reinvestigation, however, is still ongoing, so this may take a bit.
YG has taken Nipsey Hussle’s advice from “Last Time That I Checc’d” and run with it, taking control of his music and career as he comes up on his final album under his Def Jam contract, I Got Issues. He’s going out with a bang, too, blowing the budget on singles like “Toxic,” “Alone,” and “Run” — especially the latter, as he told HipHopDX during a recent listening session for the album in Los Angeles.
“I waste a lot of money on videos,” he said. In fact, for “Run” he admitted he spent, “like, half a million out of my own pocket. And I’m mad because I thought the song was gonna be this crazy hit, and it’s not. I wasted my money.” He said there was a consolation though: “They say millionaires invest hundreds of thousands into themselves and billionaires invest millions into themselves,” he reflected. “I’m at the point where I’m investing millions into myself, so I should be a billionaire one of these days.”
Like the man said, “‘Scared Money‘ don’t make no money.” Should his investment in himself pay off the way he expects we might just be looking back and marveling at his foresight.
It has only been four years since rising Atlanta rappers Gunna and Lil Baby joined forces to drop their joint album Drip Harder, which arguably helped make them both bonafide rap stars, if not household names. Yet, in those short years, the lead single from the project, “Drip Too Hard,” has reached a high watermark fewer than 100 other songs have ever achieved: receiving a Diamond certification from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The Diamond certification marks ten million equivalent units sold. For digital awards, a unit is defined as a digital download or 150 streams.
In the history of the RIAA’s 70-year existence, only 86 songs had reached this mark before “Drip Too Hard.” Included on that list are all-time favorites like Whitney Houston’s “I Will Always Love You,” certified in January this year, “Thriller,” certified in August, and “Candle In The Wind” by Elton John. Rappers who’ve made the list include Eminem, whose 2010 single “Not Afraid” reached DIamond in June 2014, Wiz Khalifa (“See You Again,” 2019), Drake (“God’s Plan,” 2019), and Lil Nas X, whose debut single “Old Town Road” was mistakenly reported Diamond-certified less than a year after its release and later actually crossed the finish line in January 2021.
Unfortunately, only one of the two is free to celebrate their remarkable achievement. Gunna remains imprisoned, awaiting trial as he and Young Thug are accused of racketeering and other criminal activity. Meanwhile, Lil Baby is preparing the release of his third studio album, It’s Only Me, which is coming in October.
Fall is upon us, and leaves aren’t the only things dropping. Fall is also bourbon drop season, with new and great bourbon whiskeys hitting shelves pretty much daily from now until the holidays. That means my desk is crowded and my shelves are sagging, which in turn means that it’s also time for yet another new bourbon whiskey blind taste test.
For this blind taste test, my selection was very straightforward. Is it new? Then it’s in. That means there’s a collection of special finishes, barrel-proof whiskeys, bottled in bond, and even single-barrel whiskeys. It’s a wide net. I’ve also included the new Little Book — which blends Kentucky single malts with a majority bourbon — to see where the beloved bottle lands as a blend amongst this crowd of hard-hitting bourbons.
Our lineup today is:
Old Louisville Bourbon Batch #1
Bardstown Bourbon Company Chateau de Laubade II
George Dickel Tennessee Bottled-in-Bond Whisky Fall 2008 Aged 13 Years
Penelope Rosé Cask Finish
Elijah Craig Barrel Proof C922
Bomberger’s Declaration 2022 Release
Little Book Chapter 6: To The Finish
Nashtucky Special Release Aged 5 Years
Cedar Ridge Port Cask Finished Bourbon
Knob Creek Singel Barrel Reserve Aged 9 Years
Full disclosure, this was an extremely hard blind tasting to rank. These whiskeys are all pretty much great in their own way and very well-made. This wasn’t a blind tasting where a clear bottom, middle, and top were immediately obvious. So I had to go back and taste these again and again to find ways to rank them above each other (it’s a tough job, but someone has to do it). For the most part, I focused on the depth of flavor and distinctness of that flavor profile — but basically, 10 through one on this ranking was me splitting minuscule hairs (which is what I do). This is how it shook out.

The nose opens with a classic sense of bourbon vanilla and caramel with a hint of sour cherry and pancake batter next to a whisper of leather and old marshmallow. The palate has a sense of apple wood followed by black peppercorns, vanilla sauce, marzipan, and black cherries. It finishes a little warm with a hint of winter spice and more of that cherry wrapped up in tobacco.
This is a pretty nice place to start. This is a soft and inviting sip of whiskey.
Taste 2
Zach Johnston
Tasting Notes:
The nose on his one is deep and meanders through cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg, and mace before hitting a sweet edge of toffee covered in crushed almond with a dash of leather, dry sage, and some old oak. The palate starts off lush with a vanilla cream base before layering in sultanas and dates with a hint of gingerbread sweetness and spice. The end hints at cherry bark and grape must with a thin line of winter spice and old cellars full of old wood and dirt floors.
This is just really f*cking good.
Taste 3
Zach Johnston
Tasting Notes:
Another classic nose! Maple syrup on buttery pecan waffles leads toward apple chips, old leather, and a mix of winter spices and sour cherry vanilla wafers. The palate leans into an apple pie with plenty of nuts, spices, and raisins next to malted vanilla milkshakes, blueberry cotton candy, and a hint of dark chocolate milk powder. The end has a hint of dry anise mixed with cherry and brown sugar with a slight nuttiness leading toward a cherry-cinnamon tobacco finish.
This is another real winner. It’s just solid from top to bottom with serious depth.
Taste 4
Zach Johnston
Tasting Notes:
The nose is soft and lightly floral (think orange blossoms) with a hint of vanilla cream, candied cherries, and a hint of dark chocolate. The palate opens with that lush vanilla and then layers fresh strawberries in cream, sweetgrass, and a hint of woody winter spice. The end has a soft sage vibe with a hint of red berries, fresh wicker, and soft vanilla with a light finish.
This was so easygoing. It’s nicely complex but still inviting. The finish was a little light though.
Taste 5
Zach Johnston
Tasting Notes:
Leather and green chili greet you on the nose with dark chocolate powder, dried sour cherry, and a hint of sourdough. The palate hits on peach skins and cinnamon with a lot of mid-palate heat. A mix of spiced chocolate powder with a woody edge mixes with apple chips, root beer, and a clove-studded orange. The end has a hint of tart berry next to dry sweetgrass and cinnamon-orange tobacco leaves layered with soft cedar bark.
This was really good, but really hot on the mid-palate. It’s obviously barrel proof. But, wow, could have really used a rock.
Taste 6
Zach Johnston
Tasting Notes:
Wow! This nose is subtle with echoes of sticky toffee pudding, black-tea-soaked dates, sharp cinnamon, salted toffee sauce, vanilla cream, and a twinge of cedar sticks wrapped in old leather. The palate is a lush and silky crème brûlée with dustings of allspice, nutmeg, orange zest, and dark cacao with just a flake of salt and a whisper of dry cedar bark. The end stays lush as prunes and figs mingle with marzipan with a fleeting hint of orange lingers on the senses.
Yeah, this is a winner right here. And yet another great whiskey on this panel.
Taste 7
Zach Johnston
Tasting Notes:
There’s a sense of warm oatmeal with raisins, cinnamon, and brown sugar on the nose next to old leather and singed orchard wood before a sour cherry note arrives with tart apple, orange oil, and some smoked plum. The palate holds onto the grains with a soft oatmeal cookie dough/bran muffin vibe that leads to winter spices, cherry wood, and a hint of vanilla root beer. The end hits a rum-raisin note before slowly descending toward salted vanilla sauce, smoked apricot, and cherry/choco/cinnamon tobacco leaves braided with old cedar bark and sweetgrass.
This is a complex and grainy whiskey — it has to be the Little Book. It’s also freakin’ delicious.
Taste 8
Zach Johnston
Tasting Notes:
This opens with a nice mix of old porch wicker (hardcore nostalgia really) next to supple caramel sauce, white pepper, and a sense of savory fruits like figs and maybe some starfruit. The palate holds onto that savory fruit before some ABVs kick in with a nice mix of woody spices and burnt sugars before the mid-palate leans into green sweetgrass, savory herbs, and a hint of sweet fruit candy that subtly morphs into strawberry soda on the very end.
This is both really good and interesting.
Taste 9
Zach Johnston
Tasting Notes:
There’s a nice mix of stewed plums and apples next to tart berries, vanilla pods, and orange zest on the nose with hints of old wood and sweet raisins. The palate mixes cherry jam with dates and prunes next to brown sugars, winter spice, and more old oak. The end layers together Christmas spice cake with vanilla sauce and dried fruits with a light finish.
This is nice but a little soft on the landing. I needed a little more oompf from the finish.
Taste 10
Zach Johnston
Tasting Notes:
Big notes of leather, dark cherry, woody cinnamon bark and nutmeg bulbs, singed marshmallow, salted caramel, and whiskey heat all mix on the nose. The palate leans into candied pecan-filled gingerbread sheets next to warm maple syrup, brandy-soaked cherries, creamy yet very dark chocolate with a flake of salt, and a hint of espresso oil, all with a serious underlying heat. The end leans back into the cinnamon bark and layers it with dark cherry and chocolate tobacco packed into an old cedar box and wrapped up in leather.
This was intense but so good. It really, really needed a rock to calm it down though.
Part 2: The Ranking
Zach Johnston
10. Cedar Ridge Port Cask Finished Bourbon — Taste 9
This yearly (holiday) release from Cedar Ridge is beloved in Iowa. The juice is classic Cedar Ridge Iowa Bourbon that’s then finished in Port casks from the winery next to the distillery. Those barrels are then vatted and proofed with local water before bottling.
Bottom Line:
Look, something had to be last. This is a good whiskey, period. As I mentioned above, the only way to rank these great whiskeys was to look at the depth and this felt like it had the least. That’s not to say it was bad in any way. This just felt like more of a Manhattan whiskey than a sipper.
This whiskey takes Penelope’s beloved and multi-award-winning four-grain bourbon blend — 76% corn, 14% wheat, 7% rye, and 3% malted barley — and re-barrels it in hand-selected French Grenache Rosé Wine Casks from the Southern Rhône of France. Once those barrels hit just the right flavor notes, they’re vatted, proofed, and bottled as-is.
Bottom Line:
I really like this, but it was very light all things considered. That wasn’t a bad thing but it did mean this didn’t quite stand out in this particular group of bourbons. Still, this on a rock or two is a great choice.
This is from a brand new (opened in August 2022) blending and bottling house in Louisville, Kentucky. The juice in the bottle is a small-batch blend of seven to 10-year-old rye mash bourbon from MGP of Indiana. Those barrels are married and bottled with no proofing or filtering.
Bottom Line:
MGP barrels are some of the most coveted right now. This is a great example of why. This is just an all-around solid sipper with real depth and nice character. I did want to add a rock, but it wasn’t necessary.
This year’s Little Book is another masterpiece from Beam’s Master Distiller, Freddie Noe. The juice in the bottle is a blend of four-year-old straight malt whiskey finished with cherrywood staves, four-year-old straight malt whiskey finished in applewood smoked barrels, four-year-old straight malt whiskey finished in hickory-smoked barrels, four-year-old straight malt whiskey finished with maplewood staves, and Beam’s classic five-year-old Kentucky straight bourbon, making this a Kentucky single malt/bourbon hybrid. The juice was bottled after blending with no filtering or proofing.
Bottom Line:
This was an outlier for sure, but a delicious one. There was a bit more graininess by way of that oatmeal and bran muffin vibe. Otherwise, this was a classic whiskey with a nice whisper of smoke. Just make sure to add a rock or a few drops of water to really let bloom in the glass.
The last Elijah Craigh of 2022 is also the highest-proof release this year. The whiskey is made from a very low rye bourbon mash bill of 78% corn, 10% rye, and 12% malted barley. That juice then ages for at least 12 years before the barrels are vatted in very small batches and bottled without proofing or filtration.
Bottom Line:
Guess what? This was great. Yes, it needs a rock to calm it down a bit. Otherwise, this is a complex and rich whiskey.
5. Knob Creek Singel Barrel Reserve Aged 9 Years — Taste 10
I grabbed a bottle of this from the distillery. It’s so fresh that I actually watched it get bottled this month. The juice in this bottle is a single-barrel of nine-year Knob Creek that’s picked by the experts at Jim Beam. There’s no blending, no cutting with water, no hiding. Just good ol’ Knob Creek at its single-barrel best.
Bottom Line:
This was a classic Kentucky cherry bomb with some serious heat. A single rock will fix that hot Kentucky hug instantly while still allowing all that wonderful and deep flavor to shine.
4. George Dickel Tennessee Bottled in Bond Whisky Fall 2008 Aged 13 Years — Taste 3
Nicole Austin has been killing it with these bottled-in-bond releases from George Dickel. This release is a whiskey that was warehoused in the fall of 2008. 13 years later, this juice was bottled at 100 proof (as per the bottled-in-bond law) and left to rest. This fall, new releases of that Tennessee juice were sent out to much acclaim.
Bottom Line:
I kept gravitating back to this one since the ABVs were in check and the palate was so dialed. This really is a great sipper that also makes one hell of Manhattan or Sazerac.
3. Bardstown Bourbon Company Chateau de Laubade II — Taste 2
This bourbon is a blend of 12-year-old, low-rye bourbon from Kentucky and 10-year-old, very-low-rye bourbon from Tennessee. The whiskeys were re-barreled into Armagnac casks from the famed Chateau de Laubade. One set spent two years mellowing on the bottom floor of the rickhouse while another set spent 16 months mellowing on the top floor. After that, the barrels were vatted and bottled as-is.
Bottom Line:
This is just a beautiful whiskey. I wish you the best of luck finding one out there.
2. Nashtucky Special Release Aged 5 Years — Taste 8
This new whiskey from Nashville Barrel Company is a marriage of Kentucky spirit and Tennessee ingenuity. The juice is made and preliminary aged in Kentucky before the barrels are sent to Nashville to continue the maturation process in a different climate. After five years, the barrels are bottled one at a time at cask strength with no filtering or fussing.
Bottom Line:
This was another one that had zero flaws, delivered an excellent flavor profile, and was super inviting. This was one that I wanted to come back to again and again. And, somehow, those ABVs didn’t blow out the mid-palate. It was warm but not overly so.
This whiskey heralds back to Michter’s historical roots in the 19th century before the brand was even called “Michter’s.” The juice on the bottle is rendered from a very small batch of bourbons that were aged in Chinquapin oak which was air-dried for three years before charring and filling. The Kentucky bourbon was then bottled in an extremely small batch that only yielded 2005 bottles this year.
Bottom Line:
This was the most nuanced sip of the flight. It was simply delicious.
Part 3: Final Thoughts
Zach Johnston
This is what happens when you put 10 really good bourbon whiskeys up against each other. The distance in quality between these bottles is so small. My only advice is to read through the tasting notes and figure out which flavor profile speaks to you the most. Then try that whiskey!
Otherwise, the easiest-to-source whiskey on this list is going to be the George Dickel Bottled in Bond, which can’t stop winning awards and is still very affordable for an amazing 13-year-old whiskey.
If you’re willing to wait a couple of days for delivery, then Nashtucky is the only way to go. And if you’re willing to hunt for your whiskey, then chase after that bottle of Bomberger’s Declaration or Bardstown Bourbon Company Armagnac finish. Happy hunting!
Social media users weren’t the only people lighting up Jimmy Kimmel for laying on the ground during Quinta Brunson’s Emmys speech. Her Abbott Elementary co-star (and fellow Emmy winner) Sheryl Lee Ralph apparently gave Kimmel a piece of her mind backstage. During a Television Critics Association panel for Abbott‘s upcoming second season, Brunson played down the Emmys moment and encouraged everyone to tune into Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Wednesday night where she planned to have a “good time” with the late night host.
Ralph, on the other hand, made it very clear that she did not appreciate Kimmel’s bit and told him as much. Via The Wrap:
“I was absolutely confused. I didn’t know what was going on. But I was like, ‘I wish that man would just get up off of the ground.’ And then I realized it was Jimmy Kimmel, and then I was just, ‘Ooh, the disrespect Jimmy.’ But that’s just me, sorry. I am so sorry.” She added sarcastically, “Oh, it was lovely that he was lying on the floor during her wonderful acceptance speech.”
“I told him too — to his face — and he understood,” Ralph concluded.
With the Kimmel issue settled, and co-star Lisa Ann Walters loving how “so bold” Ralph has become since her Emmys win, the cast dropped some new details about Season 2. According to Decider writer Meghan O’Keefe, Brunson told the panel that the show will follow the teachers “home” to learn where these people came from. However, Walters made a point to note that the family drama in the second season is not about her real family even though her sister will probably think it spills personal details. “It does not, Laura!” Walters quipped.
Lisa Ann Walter says Melissa’s family is a lot like her own family, “they say their feelings,” but she adds that she’s worried that her own sister will think the story is about her. “It does not, Laura!” she says on record. #TCA22
10 years ago, a budding Canadian singer named Carly Rae Jepsen splashed into the pop music world’s hearts with her first single, “Call Me Maybe.” Somehow, it’s still her only No. 1 single on the Billboard Hot 100 and it has gotten ARIA platinum certification 15 times over. But the album it was on, Kiss, was truly about much more than just that one viral hit. Songs like “Good Time” and “Tiny Little Birds” are an integral part of the CRJ canon. Fellow Canadian Justin Bieber even hopped on “Beautiful” and the album hit the Top 10 of the Billboard 200 chart.
So now that Kiss celebrates its 10th anniversary this week, Jepsen took to Instagram to reflect on the past ten years and what that album meant to her now-illustrious career in pop. “This is my first-ever pop record! And the reason I couldn’t give up on Los Angeles too fast,” she wrote. “10 years ago, I came to LA for one little show and then accidentally moved here forever. It was meant to be a weekend trip but I’d call home every few weeks to say ‘send more clothes.’ We made the album KISS in those months and I sang about my first round of LA hallucinations…”
She thanked fans for sticking with her on the ride and also announced a vinyl release to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Kiss. Meanwhile, her new album, The Loneliest Time will be coming out on October 21st.
As Marcus Mumford is getting ready to release his debut album, the Mumford & Sons leader opened up about how Neil Young inspired the project. In a recent interview with NME, Mumford talked about the advice that the Canadian rock icon gave him a decade ago.
Following over a decade of success with Mumford & Sons, Mumford is releasing his album Self-Titled on Friday (September 16). In July, he first teased the LP with his haunting lead single “Cannibal.” Mumford has since followed with the singles “Grace” and “Better Off High.” In the interview, Mumford spoke about how a chat with Neil Young inspired his debut album.
A decade ago, Young gave Mumford advice that turned out to be invaluable for putting together his solo LP. Mumford said:
“Neil Young sat me down about ten years ago and told me the importance of recorded music and that I should pay more attention to the way in which we record because I was always [like], ‘Ah, it’s just an advert for a live show.’ He was like, ‘No man, these things last.’ I felt like on this record, I listened to that [advice]. I paid closer attention to the way it sounded than anything I’d ever done before.”
Back in July, Mumford performed with Joni Mitchell as part of her surprise set at Newport Folk Festival. About the experience of performing “My Funny Valentine” for her, he added, “It was just magical. Joni actually said to me, ‘Your instincts are good, you should just play’, when I was worried about a song. I was like, ‘Well, that’s a tattoo I’ve gotta get! Joni Mitchell says I have good instincts.’ It was just so sweet.”
