James Harden pushed all of his chips to the center of the table after the Houston Rockets lost to the Los Angeles Lakers by 17 points on Tuesday night, making it clear that he does not believe the situation in Houston in salvageable. One day later and a report indicates that the Rockets have identified the two offers they view as best, with a decision potentially coming sooner rather than later.
According to Shams Charania and Sam Amick of The Athletic, Houston has a pair of offers on the table. One, from the Philadelphia 76ers, is about what you’d expect: Ben Simmons would be the centerpiece, while the pair report that the two sides “have discussed in potential packages is 2019 first-round pick Matisse Thybulle, with Houston having interest in the defensive-minded forward.”
The other comes from the Brooklyn Nets, and while any players that would be included are up in the air, the report indicates that Brooklyn would include what can only be described as a shocking amount of Draft capital in a deal.
The Nets have prepared a package to Houston for Harden featuring all of their four future first-round picks and three future pick swaps, multiple sources said. This would place significant pressure on the team to win immediately and the potential partnership between two former star teammates in Harden and Kevin Durant. Nets general manager Sean Marks and his front office have built an impactful culture around their players, and have been able to keep strong future flexibility in the process. For the Nets, there could be hesitation to mortgage future assets with this type of ferocity. Brooklyn does not owe any extra firsts or have any owed to it, so it has four firsts and three swaps available.
The players who would get moved almost seem secondary to the fact that seven first-round picks would, to one extent or another, be put on the table in this deal. This is not to besmirch the players who would get moved — Brooklyn has a number of ultra-talented youngsters and guys who can make this work financially — but this would be a case of a team giving up essentially all of its future in order to win right now.
Harden trade rumblings have been going around all season long, but having said that, things seem to be accelerating following Tuesday night. Now, the question is whether things progress to the point where Harden is no longer on the roster before the Rockets play the Spurs on Thursday evening.
Ariana Grande dropped a video for “34+35” a couple months ago, but she’s not done with the song yet. Today, she took to social media to reveal that she’s dropping a remix for the song on Friday. The quick teaser video she shared features three silhouettes with question marks over two of them, suggesting that Grande will be joined by two other artists on the track.
This has prompted much speculation about who Grande got on the song, and Doja Cat’s name was so widely mentioned that she became a trending topic on Twitter. A common theory/hope is that Doja (who features on Positions track “Motive”) and Minaj (with whom Grande has collaborated on multiple occasions) will be revealed as the mystery guests, while others think that it could be Chloe x Halle.
Grande previously discussed the song in an interview on the Zach Sang Show, saying, “I’ve been very nervous about ’34+35′ because I don’t want it to distract from the rest from the album, but I do love it, and sonically, it’s one of my favorite things we’ve ever done.” She also added of the track’s importance to the album, “I just think it’s ridiculous and so funny and stupid. It’s like absolutely absurd. It was just a fun thing. We heard the strings that sounded so like Disney and orchestral and full and pure, and I was like, ‘What is the dirtiest possible most opposing lyrics we could write to this?’”
It was no coincidence that James Harden’s public proclamation that the Houston Rockets “aren’t good enough” to put it together this season came after a blowout loss to the Los Angeles Lakers. According to Kelly Iko of The Athletic, it was in large part a reminder to Harden that the Lakers are playing a different game than the Rockets, with Iko writing that “Harden knows the team as currently constructed can’t defeat the Lakers in a seven-game series.”
The loss, Iko reports, reinforced Harden’s urgency to “maximize the window he still has” to win the first championship of his career. To that end, the story states that the Brooklyn Nets remain at the top of Harden’s list of landing places, though Iko reports other contending teams would still be acceptable to Harden.
“We’re just not good enough,” Harden told reporters postgame on Tuesday. “Chemistry, talent-wise, everything. And it was clear the last few games. From the beginning of the game, they’re just a veteran team obviously, championship team, and one of the best teams we have in this league.”
Since Harden privately asked out, reporting has confirmed that Houston’s asking price is quite high, including likely a blue-chip young player in addition to multiple first-round picks. It’s hard to say that Harden’s play and his actions have raised his value — he’s averaging 24.8 points per game, the lowest he’s averaged since joining the Rockets — but now, Harden is doubling down in order to secure a trade and put himself in better position to beat the defending champions.
Since President Donald Trump’s Twitter account was “permanently suspended” due to “the risk of further incitement of violence,” most of his children have stayed quiet on the social media platform. Ivanka hasn’t tweeted anything since referring to the MAGA rioters storming the Capitol building as “American Patriots,” Eric is one week sober from sharing misinformation online, and there’s no other Trump kids to speak of, except Donald Trump, Jr. He’s been on a roll lately, paying tribute to casino magnate (and Trump donor) Sheldon Adelson, retweeting numerous conservative voices, and presumably mourning Parler, the right-wing Twitter. But even while he continues to retweet himself, DTJ is looking to “blow Twitter away” and save “free speech in America.”
He just needs some help from the world’s richest man.
“Wanted to come up with something to deal with nonsense on the censorship that’s going on right now, and obviously only targeted one way. Why doesn’t Elon Musk create a social media platform?” Trump, Jr. said on Instagram (where his dad is also blocked). “I mean, this guy put manned people into space. He did so privately. He took on big government and did it better, cheaper, faster than they ever could. This is the guy to do it.” (The president, according to the president’s son, is apparently not “big government.”)
Don Jr. said he considered Mr. Musk to be the right person to stand up against Twitter after the tech mogul took on “West Coast high tech” for turning into the “de facto arbiter of free speech.”
He suggested that the new platform can regulate against hate speech or violence but at the same time provide a platform to neutral commentators and not turn into a “leftist organization” that de-platforms people with conservative thoughts. “I am not looking for a conservative echo chamber, I want a platform to argue my ideas versus someone else’s and not just people in a place telling me what I want to hear,” Mr. Trump said.
If there’s one thing the internet needs, it’s more places where strangers can argue with each other. Anyway, let’s see if Elon is interested:
In addition to a jam-packed schedule of five games throughout Martin Luther King Jr. Day, the NBA announced multiple new ways to honor the late Dr. King next Monday.
First, that will include an ad spot featuring audio of an old speech of King’s imploring people to “learn how to love” set atop images of NBA players like Bradley Beal leading marches this summer during the Black Lives Matter uprisings and players in the Bubble with messages on their jerseys and demonstrating together.
In addition, the league released new warm-up shirts with the message “Honor King” splotched across the back and a line from his famous “I Have A Dream” speech of his on the front: “Now is the time to make justice a reality for all.”
Prior to tip-off of the games, Caron Butler will reprise his role as host of a virtual roundtable discussing Dr. King’s vision and legacy in the context of the modern social justice movement. Butler will be joined by NBA lifer Wayne Embry, former New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu, and Terri Freeman of the National Civil Rights Museum.
The slate of five games to commemorate the day is highlighted by a Bucks-Nets and Warriors-Lakers double-header on TNT.
Spring of 2020 was consumed by uncertainty over the pandemic, particularly in the live music industry. Many festivals postponed their dates before the country came to the collective realization that big gatherings would be out of the question for at least a year. Now, as the vaccination rollout has begun, festival organizers are hopeful that large-scale events will be safe in the near future. Governors Ball has set their sights on the fall of 2021, announcing that they plan to go ahead with this year’s festival.
Governors Ball typically takes place in June every year, but in 2021, organizers have decided to push back the date to September. On Wednesday, the festival announced that they have officially booked the weekend of September 24th through 26th in New York City for this year’s event. Governors Ball has yet to release a lineup, but said it will not be the same as what would have been last year’s bill.
Along with sharing the new dates, festival organizers announced they will be keeping the health and safety of staff and festivalgoers their number one priority. “Given that vaccines are rolling out and many experts predict a return to live music events in the Fall, we are hopeful,” they wrote. “We’re booking an amazing lineup and making sure all suggested safety protocols are followed. Rest assured that safety is our first priority and we are working closely with all city and state authorities on everything.”
The ghost of The Karate Kid‘s superior sensei, Mr. Miyagi, loomed large in the newest Cobra Kai season, which is igniting all sorts of feelings for the beloved character and the man who portrayed him, Pat Morita. The legend himself is now getting the deep-dive treatment in a new documentary, More Than Miyagi, and the above trailer is … a lot. From his early childhood battle with debilitating spinal tuberculosis to his struggles with substance abuse, this movie promises to keep the emotions running high with interviews and anecdotes not only from Ralph Macchio, William Zabka, and Martin Kove but also Happy Days co-star Henry Winkler and others who supply memories from Morita’s stand-up comedy days, including another legend you may have heard of, Tommy Chong.
In other words, prepare to laugh, but also: get the tissues ready. Morita’s journey will soon be available for both younger and older generations to take in with this doc, which runs a cool 89 minutes. From the synopsis:
The Oscar-nominated actor best known for his role of “Mr. Miyagi,” left behind a painfully revealing autobiographical record of his much-too-brief time here on Earth, tracing his journey from being bed-bound as a boy to the bright lights and discrimination in Hollywood. Deep inside that sweet, generous, multi-talented performer seethed an army of demons, that even alcohol and drugs couldn’t mask.
Directed by The Karate Kid enthusiast Kevin Derek, More Than Miyagi will be available on iTunes, Amazon, Google Play, and the like on February 5.
A common refrain we’re hearing from politicians and pundits who insist on denying current reality is that leadership right now needs to focus on “lowering the temperature.”
You know, in case a violent mob decides to storm the Capitol or something.
From lawmakers the past couple of days:
“Trying to impeach a President with less than 10 days left in office is the worst way to lower the temperature in our country. If Democrats say they want unity, this isn’t the way to show it.”– Congressman Ted Bud (R-NC)
“I’ve reached out to President-elect Biden today & plan to speak to him about how we must work together to lower the temperature & unite the country to solve America’s challenges.”– House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA)
“I am opposed to yet another impeachment of President Trump by Nancy Pelosi that will further inflame tensions in America. We need to lower the temperature and unify Americans behind issues we can all agree on.”– Congressman James Comer (R-KY)
And watch Fox News’ Brian Kilmeade use the same language:
Brian Kilmeade makes the right’s main argument against impeachment: “This country is ready to explode. You saw what… https://t.co/KEH9XN9m54
I’m not sure where these talking points come from, but there’s clearly a deliberate message that we all just need to calm down and not do anything that might result in incensing a violent mob.
You know, like the one that already stormed the Capitol.
It feels a bit like these folks don’t really comprehend what is happening in their own country and haven’t digested the gravity of what just happened. So that we’re all clear on where we are, let’s take stock real quick:
Insurrectionists stormed the U.S. Capitol last week while both houses of Congress were in session. They broke windows, doors, and furniture and left urine and feces in hallways and offices. They killed a police officer with a fire extinguisher, beat another with flag poles, and put more than a dozen Capitol officers in the hospital. They appeared ready to take lawmakers hostage with flex cuffs and chanted about hanging the vice president. They even constructed a gallows on Capitol grounds—and they did it all in the name of keeping Trump in power.
Trump has spent the two months since the presidential election claiming that the election was rigged, stolen, fraudulent, and/or unconstitutional. He has lobbed and relobbed baseless allegations that have repeatedly been debunked. He has encouraged his supporters to “stop the steal” and “save America” from the “Radical Leftist Democrats.” It’s been lie after lie, and when you mix those lies up with the quacko conspiracy theories pushed by QAnon—which the president has never denounced, only saying that its deranged adherents “love America”—you end up with a mob of people who think and that it’s their patriotic duty to attack the seat of democracy and embarrass the nation on the world stage as they act out their tyrannical government overthrow fever dreams.
The absurdity of the insurrection somewhat masked the seriousness of what we witnessed. But anyone with the slightest understanding of civics should know that a violent storming of the U.S. Capitol is not a sign that things are getting too hot. It’s a sign that we’re already on fire.
Imagine standing in front of a burning building and saying, “We just need to figure out how to lower the temperature.” Um, no. We need to put the fire out. Now. Quickly. By whatever means we have available to us.
The time for “lowering the temperature” was months ago. And the way to lower the temperature was to tell the American people the truth about the election results and to move forward with a peaceful, orderly transition. The reason the temperature got so high in the first place is because opportunistic politicians and right-wing media allowed fringe conspiracy kookiness into the mainstream when they realized how easily and eagerly their voters and viewers embraced it, and because we have a president who fans the flames of prejudice.
Calls for lowering the temperature and uniting the country fall flat when a significant portion of the country believes one candidate literally stole the presidency from the other, and when continued lies, misinformation, and impassioned rhetoric have already ignited the flame of insurrection. At this point, it’s too late to lower the temperature. We have to actually put out the fire now. What does that look like? How about telling the truth and uniting around the fact that the violent storming of the Capitol only happened because a dishonest president of the United States can’t admit defeat. That’s a good start.
What could be more unifying than a unanimous, bipartisan statement of the objective facts? Biden is the rightful winner of the election according to everyone who actually has the authority to determine that’s the case. On top of that, the U.S. does not unite with or negotiate with terrorists. The U.S. does not tolerate coup attempts. The U.S. does not abide by sedition and insurrection. This is why people who serve in our government and military take an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic. Congress was literally in the middle of a constitutional duty when domestic enemies sent them into hiding. The storming of the Capitol was literally an attack on the Constitution.
Just because those who did it see themselves as patriots and not seditionists doesn’t make it true. Just because they believe they are “saving America” doesn’t mean that they actually are. Just because they say they support the Constitution doesn’t mean they know what that means. Just because they carry the flag doesn’t mean they’re actually defending what it stands for.
What we witnessed was a violent mob co-opting the symbols of our nation, mixing them with the language and symbols of white supremacy and those of their dear leader, and attempting to overthrow an entire branch of the federal government. If that’s not the most disgusting attack on democracy that we’ve seen in modern history, I don’t know what is. And they are still threatening more violence to keep Trump in power.
When a house is on fire, you don’t need to lower the temperature. You need to put out the fire, and you need to do it now.
Sufjan Stevens may have released the compelling, synth-heavy album The Ascension back in September, but with his contribution to a new collaborative single, Stevens is going back to his folksy roots. The singer joined CARM, the new band composed of CJ Camerieri, Justin Vernon, and a few of their friends, for the quiet single “Song Of Trouble.”
“Song Of Trouble” arrives just ahead of CARM’s self-titled debut LP and will appear as the album opener. Singing the lyrics he penned for the track, Stevens tenderly details the troublesome thoughts that plague him at night over the song’s iridescent keys.
Speaking about the single in a statement, Camerieri praised Stevens’ contributions: “Sufjan’s use of orchestral instruments helped set the stage for everything I’ve done in my career.”
Artist Nick Weber, who painted the single art upon hearing the song for the first time, said, “When I first listened to ‘Song of Trouble,’ I thought of Psalm 23:4 ‘though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death…’ words I’ve heard in my mind while painting my Night Series,” Weber said. “Night is a time of quietude, where visual elements–trees, cars, etc. are reduced to simple geometric shapes, shadows and light; a time of no distractions, all the world asleep, no one around to protect us from our demons. A realization can be urgent like a siren, even though we might only whisper it softly–that is how CJ’s trumpet accompanies Sufjan’s words; at once both bold and quiet, and somehow coming from within the listener.”
Listen to Stevens and CARM’s “Song Of Trouble” above.
In the beginning, there was “Video Games,” a pastiche of internet loneliness, longing, and fulfillment that all but turned Lana Del Rey into a star on the spot. As good as it was, even her first-ever song came loaded with controversy; after it went viral, Lana was sued for using footage she found on YouTube but never had the rights to. And that wasn’t even the only controversy surrounding her debut track, the song also kicked off what would be a years-long label as an “anti-feminist” star in a climate when gender politics was suddenly everywhere in pop music.
Now, more than six albums in, it’s become crystal clear nobody is running the show but Lana. And the metamorphosis from Lizzy Grant into one of the most vocal, controversial, beleaguered, and beloved songwriters in the pop world has been a bumpy one. Most recently, Lana has made headlines for comments about the artwork for her forthcoming record, Chemtrails Over The Country Club, but let’s face it — she’s always been embroiled in disputes and disagreements with how the media has portrayed her. Here’s a look at some of the incidents she’s dealt with over the course of the last decade, leading up to this week’s political squabbles and magazine clapbacks.
January 2012: Her hit single “Video Games” faces criticism for being “anti-feminist”
“People talk about me being an anti-feminist because of that song,” Lana told the BBC at the time, in the same piece where she discussed getting sued over illegally using footage in the video. “They think it’s coming from a place of submissiveness. But in reality it was more about coming together and doing your own things happily in the same living space.”
Maybe a stronger argument would’ve been pointing out that she used the emotions in that song to kick off her career, taking back power in a different way.
January 2012: Her SNL performance is widely mocked and dismissed
“I actually felt good about it,” Lana told Rolling Stone the week after the show. “I thought I looked beautiful and sang fine. It felt OK. The cast and crew said they loved it. I know some people didn’t like it, but that’s just the way I perform, and my fans know that. There’s backlash about everything I do. It’s nothing new. When I walk outside, people have something to say about it. It wouldn’t have mattered if I was absolutely excellent. People don’t have anything nice to say about this project. I’m sure that’s why you’re writing about it.” Re-watching the performance now, it doesn’t feel particularly out of step with Lana’s current live performances. She just wasn’t ever going to be a polished, choreographed pop star that was so en vogue at the time.
March 2012: The artwork for her follow up single “Blue Jeans” features a man’s hand on her neck
Accused of glamorizing abuse by using this image — a charge that definitely stuck with the singer along the way — the cover for her second single was ambiguous enough to evoke a chokehold, someone checking a body for a pulse, or even a caress. But the backlash felt boring to some, and it’s hard to categorize this image as violent. Still, she was flirting with the line from the beginning.
October 2012: Del Rey faces allegations of appropriation for wearing a Native American headdress in her “Ride” video
Over the last few decades, standards for cultural appropriation have changed a lot, even if people should’ve known better all along. It’s hard to imagine any pop star without Native American background wearing a full-on traditional headdress in today’s climate. Lana did defend herself at the time though, calling it an “ode to the spirit of dance and freedom” that she experienced when working on Indian reservations. Hmmm, that’s a no from me.
December 2013: Her “Tropico” short film faces similar appropriation charges for using Latino and “chola” culture
“Sorry, Lana, but culture can’t be tried on like a sweater at a J.Crew sample sale,” one critic wrote at the time. That’s pretty much all that needs to be said. This film was cringe-worthy then, and it’s even more so eight years later.
June 2014: Title track of her new album Ultraviolence includes the lyric “he hit me and it felt like a kiss”
Obviously referencing the 1962 The Crystals song “He Hit Me (And It Felt Like A Kiss) — written by Gerry Goffin and Carole King, by the way — several critics wondered if these lyrics glorified domestic abuse.
June 2014: Lana tells The Fader magazine she doesn’t think feminism is “an interesting concept”
Dropped the same day as the title track off Ultraviolence, Lana told The Fader she that wasn’t interested in feminism as a concept. “For me, the issue of feminism is just not an interesting concept,” she said. “I’m more interested in… SpaceX and Tesla, what’s going to happen with our intergalactic possibilities. Whenever people bring up feminism… I’m just not really that interested. For me, a true feminist is someone who is a woman who does exactly what she wants. If my choice is to, I don’t know, be with a lot of men, or if I enjoy a really physical relationship, I don’t think that’s necessarily being anti-feminist. For me the argument of feminism never really should have come into the picture. Because I don’t know too much about the history of feminism, and so I’m not really a relevant person to bring into the conversation. Everything I was writing was so autobiographical, it could really only be a personal analysis.” This rather infamously became a flashpoint for Lana, that she had to repeatedly address, including in an interview with James Franco for V Magazine a year later.
September 2018: Lana calls out Kanye West for supporting President Trump
Instagram
After the legendary Kanye West decided to throw his support behind Donald Trump, his fans were devastated. One of them? Lana Del Rey. She sang at Kanye’s wedding to Kim Kardashian, but that didn’t stop her from condemning his political choice in an Instagram comment as “a loss for the culture.”
October 2018: Azealia Banks and Lana get into a flame war on Twitter over the Kanye comments
@shopcheapyxo u know the addy. Pull up anytime. Say it to my face. But if I were you- I wouldn’t.
Tweeting from a burner account, created because her primary account was suspended over similarly heated exchanges, rapper Azealia Banks pointed out the power dynamics of a white woman like Lana publicly criticizing a Black man like Kanye. While Banks’ comments might have had some truth to them, Lana’s tough, immediate response, and the collective disappointment in Kanye, gave her the upper hand. Banks’ tweets have been deleted but Lana’s aggressive replies remain:
December 2019: Lana angrily tweets at NPR critic Ann Powers for her essay on Norman Fucking Rockwell
Here’s a little sidenote on your piece – I don’t even relate to one observation you made about the music. There’s nothing uncooked about me. To write about me is nothing like it is to be with me. Never had a persona. Never needed one. Never will.
So don’t call yourself a fan like you did in the article and don’t count your editor one either – I may never never have made bold political or cultural statements before- because my gift is the warmth I live my life with and the self reflection I share generously.
In 2019, after her album Norman Fucking Rockwell was almost unanimously declared the best one of the year, Lana got into a dustup with critic Ann Powers over an essay that analyzed both the album and Lana’s whole career. It came off strange because of power dynamics — Lana’s fans went after Powers in the way that internet mobs do — and because Ann is a beloved, respected critic who took the time to engage with Lana’s work, a sign of respect on any level. After all the bad, lazy press Del Rey’s work has gotten in the past, this essay was actually grappling with her contradictions — something she prides herself on — in an intelligent way. Also, NFR was universally acclaimed! It was a strange one.
Here’s a little sidenote on your piece – I don’t even relate to one observation you made about the music. There’s nothing uncooked about me. To write about me is nothing like it is to be with me. Never had a persona. Never needed one. Never will.
May 2020: In a now-infamous “question for the culture,” Lana asks if her “glamorizing abuse” is acceptable now due to the success of sexualized songs by other female artists, primarily women of color
It was a couple months into a global pandemic, just before an uprising to address the baked-in racism against Black people in American culture, and overall just a strange comparison. All of the women Lana compares herself to, like Beyonce, Nicki Minaj, Cardi B, and Doja Cat, sing about their own empowerment and kicking undeserving men to the curb — the opposite of Del Rey’s perspective. Perhaps her point was that female behavior in relationships can exist on a spectrum, but when one end of the spectrum is resonating so deeply, why would that lend support to the other end? She says in a follow-up that was her point, but the damage had already been done, and lots of people consider this faux pas to be one of her worst.
June 2020: Lana posted a video of herself at protest over the death of George Floyd, inadvertently exposing looters in her clip
In now-deleted posts, Lana tried to signal support for the protest by showing she was there too, but ultimately was called out by Kehlani and Tinashe on Twitter for her video since it clearly showed looters. The women who criticized her were worried that those captured in Lana’s clip would be exposed for their behavior.
October 2020: At a signing for her new poetry book, Violet Bent Over Backwards Lana wore a mesh mask that fans worried doesn’t adequately protect against COVID-19
January 2021 artwork for Chemtrails Over The Country Club
In early 2021, one of the only pop records on the docket so far is Lana’s next one, Chemtrails Over The Country Club. But her post about the artwork came off as tone-deaf to many, who read her invoking of the “I have Black friends” trope as tired and self-serving. Coming on the heels of a racist mob attacking the Capitol, it was also another example of poor timing.
January 2021: Lana slams Complex for focusing on her comment that Trump didn’t mean to incite the mob that attacked the capitol
OK complex not that our 10 year relationship matters I guess Thanks for the cool soundbite taken out of context, I said that the bigger problem is Sociopathy-so whether he meant to incite a riot is less important than the larger issue in America at hand -the problem of sociopathy
It’s fucked up. You know I’m real. You know I voted for Biden. I’m super steady in everything I’ve ever said. You probably listened to my entire interview. So whoever wrote this is a genuine piece of shit. I am the one helping bringing the problem with narcissism to light. Gfys
I also want to say that I don’t appreciate complex magazine inferring that I thought it was right to storm the capital. After my long term relationship with them and exclusive interviews over the last 11 years I think it’s pathetic if Rolling Stone chimes in-same goes for them
In a series of tweets, Del Rey took issue with Complex for what she felt was a willful misreading her a nearly hour-long interview with the BBC that focused mostly on politics. Surely, this won’t be the last time she gets embroiled in political drama this year, but maybe things will cool down until her album release in March.
However, if there is a theme here, it’s a frequent lack of self-reflection and ability to understand where it’s coming from. Perhaps Lana can take some time to consider the perspective of other people — who are fans that engage with her work, and hope she’s the best person she can be — before the next controversy unfolds.
