Jared Leto doesn’t appear to relish roles where he actually looks like himself. We’ll eventually see him vamp out in Morbius, and let’s just say that he’s favored lots of time in the makeup chair with House Of Gucci, Suicide Squad, Dallas Buyers Club, and Chapter 27. Yet in WeCrashed, we actually see Leto in physically recognizable form (albeit with some contouring at work) as he plays Israeli businessman Adam Neumann, the one-time CEO of WeWork who crashed and burned in the tatters of his messianic complex and his flawed shared-office-space model. This happened quite quickly, too, with WeWork once valued at $47 billion and shattering into nothing within weeks.

In this eight-episode limited series, Leto (accompanied by Anne Hathaway as Neumann’s wife, Rebekah, also an apparent narcissist) returns to TV long after his stint of leaning against lockers as Jordan Catalano in My So-Called Life. The dude loves to pour on the accent work, and his Neumann is disconcertingly comfortable with the idea of comparing himself to Jesus Christ. It must be the hair. From the synopsis:

The series is inspired by actual events — and the love story at the center of it all. WeWork grew from a single coworking space into a global brand worth $47 billion in under a decade. Then, in less than a year, its value plummeted. What happened?

The story’s based upon Lee Eisenberg and Drew Crevello’s podcast, WeCrashed: The Rise and Fall of WeWork. Co-stars in this miniseries include Kyle Marvin, America Ferrera, and O-T Fagbenle, and look for WeCrashed on Apple TV+ on March 18.

This past September, Hatchie announced that she had signed to Secretly Canadian and released the shimmering shoegaze pop of “This Enchanted.” Hatchie (aka Aussie Harriet Pilbeam) has now announced her plans to release Giving The World Away, the follow-up to her lauded 2019 debut Keepsake, and has also released the new single “Quicksand.”

The song veers more towards dance-pop, evoking shades of Sky Ferreria or Caroline Polachek. The ’80s dance floor synth beat stands out and Hatchie flexes her soaring vocals as she pleas for joy to shine through uncertainty. Giving The World Away will be out on April 22nd and Pilbeam reflected on the song in a statement:

“‘Quicksand’ is about dealing with the realisation that you’ll never be satisfied. I started writing it when I was home between tours in 2019 before finishing it with Joe Agius and Dan Nigro the next year. I was feeling guilty and ungrateful for not being happy about a few different things in my life that were technically going well. I had to work through some tough learned thought processes and emotions that had been working away for years to try to understand how to be happy with my present, and stop fixating on my past and future. The video digs deeper into showing this juxtaposition of such sadness and anger despite being surrounded by glamour and grandeur.”

About a month ago, while talking about how busy her life has been lately, Cardi B revealed that she plans to drop a new album in 2022, saying, “I’m in a lot of positions and that requires a lot of my time, and on top of that, I gotta put out this album next year.” Now, it appears Cardi has been working on some new music lately, as she shared a behind-the-scenes look at her current home studio setup.

In a recent clip from Cardi’s Instagram Story (which RapTV preserved and re-uploaded), Cardi pans the shot around the room and says before laughing, “Look what Ed built me in this ghetto-ass studio.” The setup consists primarily of an Apple computer, speakers, a microphone surrounded by a DIY shroud made of what looks like a comforter, and some other gear.

This would be far from the first time that some high-quality music was recorded in a humble setting. There are too many examples of this to count, but here’s a notable one from not too long ago: In 2017, Four Tet went viral in some circles after he shared a photo of the space where he recorded that year’s New Energy, one of 2017’s most beloved electronic albums. The setup consisted of just a small desk, laptop, MIDI keyboard, monitors, and a couple of other small pieces of equipment.

Cardi B is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

Silk Sonic had one of 2021’s most beloved albums with An Evening With Silk Sonic, but they didn’t really get to tour behind it. Sure, they performed songs from it during various award shows and TV appearances, but that’s not the same as a full-blown concert. Now, though, Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak have a run of shows lined up, as they’ve announced a Las Vegas residency at Dolby Live. Currently, the residency consists of 13 shows between February and April.

Mars wrote on Twitter, “Its happening! The sexiest party of the year! Them Silk Sonic Boyz are performing Live in Las Vegas!” .Paak added on Instagram, “The terms are locked and Vegas might not ever be the same Jack!! You’re invited to the hottest show in Sin City!”

The next time you regret spending too much money on a meal or shoes or Pokemon cards, take a deep breathe and tell yourself, “Well, at least I’m not Mike Lindell.”

The MyPillow founder is spending over $1 million a month in his failed bid to get Donald Trump back into the White House; he’s also considered a “reputation risk” by the banks that he does business with, and his libel suit against the Daily Mail for claiming that he wooed 30 Rock actress Jane Krakowski with alcohol was dismissed by a judge. But at least he still plans to put 300 million people in prison for life, so he’s doing great.

On Tuesday’s episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live, host Jimmy Kimmel dedicated a portion of his monologue to Lindell’s financial setbacks. “Mike Lindell is having some trouble in the money department. The trouble is, no one wants his money. Mike claims that not one, but two different financial institutions have asked him to leave their bank,” he explained, adding, “At this rate, Mike is blowing through money so much, I have a feeling this problem is going to resolve itself on its own.”

Nothing will stop Lindell in his quest, however, not with his ability to take “life’s lemons and makes little hats out of him.” That’s when Kimmel brought back James Adomian as Lindell with the pillow man’s “best idea yet”: MyBank. You can watch the video above.

This past December, Girlpool release their first song in nearly two years, “Faultline,” sparking a newfound sense of harmony and wonderment for the duo. Now we get a new wrinkle on their journey with not only a new track with ‘Lie Love Lullaby,’ but also in the announcement of their new album, Forgiveness coming out on April 29th.

Now on “Lie Love Lullaby,” Harmony Tividad and Avery Tucker are meeting at the intersection of industrial rock and synth pop with a throbbing beat. The surrealist video directed by Amalia Irons plays out like inner-workings of a mind in flux. It’s a new kind of introspection atop layers of sound to get blissfully lost within. Tucker shared their thoughts on writing the song:

“‘Lie Love Lullaby’ is a song about a time where I felt that my innocence affected my ability to choose a person who was good for me. In the past, it’s been painful to choose somebody that didn’t believe in me, and I think the most painful part was that I allowed myself to pick a person that didn’t recognize my entirety. I wrote this song wondering, did I recognize it myself? If I had the wherewithal to tolerate their minimizing perspective?”

Watch the video and listen to “Lie Love Lullaby” above. Check out the album artwork and tracklist for Forgiveness below.

1. “Nothing Gives Me Pleasure”
2. “Lie Love Lullaby”
3. “Violet”
4. “Junkie”
5. “Dragging My Life Into A Dream”
6. “Faultline”
7. “Light Up Later”
8. “Country Star”
9. “Butterfly Bulletholes”
10. “Afterlife”
11. “See Me Now”
12. “Love333”

Marty Roberts, a beloved fixture in the Los Angeles live music community, has died at age 89. One half of the iconic jazz duo, Marty & Elayne, he was more than just a musician, he was a staple in his community. Forever immortalized by the classic 1996 film, Swingers, Marty & Elayne continued to perform at The Dresden in Los Feliz for years after the movie was made, letting locals and tourists alike feel like the were living a little piece of Hollywood magic.

Born on April 10, 1932, Martin Roberts grew up in New York City, but met Elayne in LA in 1970 when she was just 16 years old. They were married four months later and gigging ever since, picking up their stint at The Dresden almost 40 years ago. According to a Facebook post by the couple’s daughter, Hali Gillin, Roberts passed away at her home, in Henderson, Nevada last week on January 13, 2022.

“We are heartbroken , the greatest man alive has gone on to heaven,’” Gillin wrote on Marty & Elayne’s Facebook page. “Marty passed peacefully on Thursday the 13th, 2022. My mom and I are devastated by his loss and there is nobody that could ever take his place. He had a joke and a smile (smiling is free, he would say!) for everyone he met and was the kindest, most self-sacrificing man in the world. We will miss him more than words can express. A celebration of life will be upcoming at The Dresden. Time and date will be provided, online access will be available as well if you are out of state or Covid concerned. Marty will always be with us in spirit and in our memories! I miss you so much daddy!! Rest In Peace!”

With less than two weeks left in 2021, Kaytranada emerged from his quiet place to deliver a new project to the world. His Intimidated effort arrived as a brief offering, with just three songs to its name, but it was still welcomed by the Canadian producer’s fans. The project also featured appearances from HER, Thundercat, and Mach-Hommy. Two months after Intimidated arrived, Kaytranada and HER brought their talents to The Tonight Show to perform their title track collaboration from the project on the late-night show.

For the performance, HER leads the way with spirited vocals as she plays the early parts of the song on a grand piano. Kaytranada then appears to add some production to the performance thanks to a keyboard and beat pad he has on stage. Together the pair deliver an icy smooth performance of their collaboration on The Tonight Show.

Their performance comes after the duo previously united in the fall of 2021. Kaytranada and HER first brought their talents together for “Bloody Waters” from the latter’s debut album Back Of My Mind. The track also featured an appearance from Thundercat who also appears on Kaytranada’s Intimidated EP. That project was Kaytranada’s first release since his late 2019 sophomore album Bubba which helped give him two 2021 Grammys for Best Dance Recording and Best Dance/Electronic Album.

Speaking of awards, HER was recently nominated in six categories at the upcoming NAACP Image Awards, including one for Outstanding Album with Back Of My Mind. At the 2022 Grammy Awards, which were recently rescheduled for April 3, 2022, HER was nominated in eight categories including Album Of The Year, Song Of The Year, and Best R&B Performance.

You can watch Kaytranada and HER’s performance of “Intimidated” in the video above.

Earlier in January, the Denver Nuggets agreed to a deal to send Bol Bol to the Detroit Pistons in exchange for Rodney McGruder and a second-round pick. However, that deal was flummoxed a few days later when word broke that Bol failed a physical with Detroit, voiding the transaction. Since then, reporting emerged that Bol needs surgery on his foot that will sideline him for several weeks, but that didn’t stop another deal from transpiring on Tuesday, with the Nuggets, Boston Celtics, and San Antonio Spurs reportedly making a three-team agreement involving Bol, PJ Dozier, Juancho Hernangomez, and Bryn Forbes.

With Bol and Dozier both injured — Dozier has a torn ACL — Boston has financial incentive to pull the trigger on a deal to send Hernangomez elsewhere.

As for Denver, the Nuggets add a veteran shooter in the backcourt with Forbes. After a short stint with the Bucks that ended with a championship ring, Forbes returned to San Antonio, but this move clears the way for more playing time for young players like Lonnie Walker and Devin Vassell.

San Antonio adds a potentially intriguing 26-year-old forward in Juancho Hernangomez, but he is making more than $6 million for this season with a non-guaranteed salary for 2021-22. The Spurs could use depth in the frontcourt, particularly if they elect to move Thaddeus Young at the trade deadline, but the wild news is that San Antonio rarely makes in-season transactions, making this a landmark occasion.

On the whole, this is a deck-shuffling move that only die-hards can appreciate. Still, it is a three-team trade a few weeks before the deadline and a reminder that there is a great deal of maneuvering on the horizon across the league.

Back in November, beloved Baltimore dream pop duo Beach House, Victoria Legrand and Alex Scally, let fans know that they’d be releasing a whole lot of new music in the very near future. Their 2022 album, Once Melody is a double album, and the band opted to drop the first installment of the new work the day after announcing it, releasing the first four songs. That consisted Chapter 1, and in December they shared Chapter 2, another four songs, and tonight, they’ve completed the trilogy by releasing five more new tracks that constitute Chapter 3.

Once Melody will be releasing in full on February 18, with the final five songs dropping along with the whole album. This is the band’s first new project since 2018’s 7, which came on the heels of a B-sides and rarities project, and the double album release in 2015 of Depression Cherry and Thank Your Lucky Stars. Considering the band has been around since their debut self-titled project in 2006, it’s pretty impressive that they’re still in the groove and releasing great, relevant music over fifteen years later.

Check out Chapter 3 up above, which includes the following songs: “Sunset,” “Only You Know,” “Another Go Around,” “Masquerade” and “Illusion Of Forever.” And don’t forget to look for the full album in about a month.
