Cardi B Files for Divorce from Offset

0

Cardi B has filed for divorce papers from Migos rapper Offset. The paperwork for a dissolution of marriage was filed in Fulton County yesterday (September 15), multiple outlets report, citing “irreconcilable differences”.

The couple had been married since September 2017. They have one child together, a two-year-old daughter named Kulture. In 2018, amidst rumours of Offset’s infidelity, Cardi revealed that the two had split up. “We’re not together anymore. I don’t know, it might take time to get a divorce,” she said at the time. “And I’m always going to have a lot of love for him because he is my daughter’s father.” They later got back together after Offset interrupted Cardi’s set at Rolling Loud with a sign that read “TAKE ME BACK, CARDI.”

Beyond their personal relationship, Cardi B and Offset have also collaborated on multiple songs: ‘Um Yea’, ‘Drip’, ‘Who Want the Smoke?’, and ‘Clout’. ‘Drip’ is taken from Cardi’s sophomore album, Invasion of Privacy, which largely deals with Offset’s rumoured infidelity. “Of course, it’s going to have my Lemonade moments, my personal relationship moments,” she said in a recent interview with ELLE.

Madonna to Direct Her Own Biopic for Universal Pictures

0

A Madonna biopic has officially been announced by Universal Pictures, and it’s going to be directed by the pop icon herself. Madonna is also co-writing the film with Diablo Cody (Juno).

“I want to convey the incredible journey that life has taken me on as an artist, a musician, a dancer — a human being, trying to make her way in this world,” Madonna said in a statement. “The focus of this film will always be music. Music has kept me going and art has kept me alive. There are so many untold and inspiring stories and who better to tell it than me. It’s essential to share the roller coaster ride of my life with my voice and vision.”

The project is being produced by Amy Pascal, who previsouly worked with Madonna on the 1992 film A League of Their Own. “This movie is an absolute labor of love for me,” Pascal said. “I have known Madonna since we made A League of Their Own together, and I can’t imagine anything more thrilling than collaborating with her and Diablo on bringing her true-life story to the big screen with [Universal executive] Donna [Langley] and our partners at Universal.”

Though Madonna will be heavily involved in the making of the film, she won’t be appearing in it, Deadline reports. The lead role has yet to be cast, but Julia Garner, Riley Keough, Haley Bennett, and Florence Pugh have all been rumoured for the part.

The biopic won’t be the artist’s directorial debut, as she previously helmed 2008’s Filth and Wisdom and 2011’s W.E. Her last album, Madame X, came out last year.

Lambchop Announce New Covers Album, Share Cover of Wilco’s ‘Reservations’

0

Lambchop have announced a new covers album called TRIP. The 6-track LP comes out November 13 via Merge in North America and City Slang worldwide. The group have also unveiled a 13-minute cover of Wilco’s ‘Reservations’. Listen to it below, and scroll down for the album’s cover artwork and tracklist.

According to a press release, each member of the band chose one song to cover for the record. “My idea was to see what might happen if I removed myself from the process as much as possible,” Kurt Wagner said in a statement. “In doing so, what surfaced would be elements that have always been there but maybe got overshadowed by my songwriting and approach.”

‘Reservations’, the closer from Wilco’s classic Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, was drummer Matthew McCaughan’s pick. “I’d like to say that Wilco’s “Reservations” is a song I’ve always wanted to cover,” he said. “But honestly, after a friend had mentioned it in a story, I had to go back and give it another listen. Picking out a cover is stressful for me. It’s kind of a dumb thing to stress about, but so many songs have memories tied to them, and I don’t want to cloud those memories. I usually pick one of those songs that I feel would fit the band, but then I go back and forth, wondering the best way to approach the arrangement. Should we honor the original and try to faithfully re-create all the sounds and performances that make the song special to me, or should we take it apart and start over?”

He continued: “Then, add in the fact that the cover would be recorded and preserved forever. I could not think of one song that I couldn’t make an argument for both approaches, so it always ends in a one-person stalemate. So I decided I would pick a song that, while I love it, and know it, it wasn’t one that had been on repeat for months at some point in my life, nor was it one that is permanently tied to some memory of my own. Instead, I used my family’s and friends’ collections and recollections with and without their permission. That way I’d just ruin it for them. But it’s the thought that counts.”

Lambchop put out their most recent album This (Is what I wanted to tell you) last spring, followed by the Basement Tapes EP in October.

Step by Step Guide on How to Play Online Slots

Online slots are probably one of the easiest games to play, if not the easiest. However, there are so many different types to choose from and places where you can play that it might all be just a little too much. If you find yourself in this boat, it’s nothing to lose sleep over. Find below a step by step guide on how to get started and play now with online slots.

Finding the Right Game

While many believe that playing online slots should start with choosing and registering at an online game, this article suggests that you choose a slot first. This might seem like an odd place to start, but it is quite logical. Once you have found the best slot type for you, you can look at the sites that offer more of what you are interested in.

Some of the slot characteristics that could help you determine the best slot game for you include the number of reels, number of paylines, jackpot type and theme. However, the best way to decide which games you prefer is to play a few of each style in demo mode.

Choose an Online Site That Offers What You Are Looking for Along with Great Promotions

Choosing an  website is not just about choosing the best welcome bonus. Remember, this is where you will be spending your time and money. At first, try to look past the welcome bonus. This might be difficult but try.

If you have completed the first step, then you will know exactly what you are looking for. Now, what you want to do is make sure that the games you are looking at offers what you are looking for. There might be more than one that offers exactly what you are looking for, or you might see that different games have some of what you are looking for. Ideally, you’d want a games that has everything you need in one place.

If you have many options, to narrow it down you could look at the games offering the best bonuses and welcome packages. However, before signing up based solely on the bonus offer, make sure to read the terms and conditions carefully.

Registering

Only after you know what you prefer and where to find it do you register an account at an online game. This is probably the easiest step in this entire process. The online site will want to be sure that you are over the age of 18. On the first page, you will almost always be asked to provide some basic information like a username, password and an email address. The next page will require personal information to help setup your account. This would include your full names, ID number, gender and date of birth.

Online games will also offer you the option of opting-in to receive updates on any special offers or promotions. However, you are not obligated to opt-in. Then all you must do is click on the Register button and you are set to go.

Slot Game Developer Tournaments that you should play 

One thing that has been made very clear about the human race is that as a collective species we just love to compete against each other in a variety of different tournaments and competitions. Just look at the Ancient Greek Olympics, for instance, these games happened over two thousand years ago, and they just prove how much competing has impacted human society.

Nowadays there are all sorts of tournaments across the world, from the big ones such as the Football World Cup every four years, to localised ones such as family bingo tournaments. One thing, however, that doesn’t usually get mentioned in relation to competitions and tournaments is the world of slot gambling, however in the modern day developers such as NetEnt and Microgaming have made sure that these exist too. Read on for the slot game developer tournaments that you should play at www.thorslots.com.

What is a slot game developer tournament? 

So then, first things first, what exactly even is a slot game developer tournament. On the face of it you could be fooled into thinking that a slot developer tournament is a competition between slot developers to see who can officially make the best online slot titles, however in actuality slot game developer tournaments are competitions ran by the likes of Microgaming, NetEnt, Big Time Gaming, Play’N GO and various other high profile online slot developers. 

These competitions give budding online slot gamblers the chance to prove themselves against other gamblers from around the world, with there usually being a fairly sizeable prize for the eventual victors. Something to remember about slot game developer tournaments too is that they don’t work in the same way as many other competitions, with the overall places being decided by a leader board type system rather than straight knock out rounds. This is purely because it would be very hard to pit two people against each other whilst playing slots. 

Some different types of slot game tournaments and their rules 

There are various types of slot game developer tournaments around in the 21st century too, read on for three of the most popular examples: 

  •         Freeroll Tournaments: You can probably guess what kind of tournament the Freeroll Tournament, as the clue is in the name. These are the least popular tournaments on average, mainly because there is no actual money involved, and competitors are just vying to win things like free spins.
  •         VIP Tournaments: These competitions are reserved for the crème-de-la-crème of the online slot gambling community, and as you might imagine the prizes are astronomical too. In order to enter a VIP Tournament you will need an invitation.
  •         Buy-In Tournaments: A Buy-In Tournament is relatively simple, gamblers have to pay a fee for the buy-in, and then they compete to see who can amass the most money on a specific online slot game in the shortest amount of time.

Sufjan Stevens Releases Video for New Single ‘Sugar’

0

Sufjan Stevens has released the latest preview from his upcoming album, The Ascension. Titled ‘Sugar’, the new single arrives with an accompanying Ezra Hurwitz-directed music video filmed in Brooklyn and choreographed by Kyle Abraham, featuring dancers Raymond Pinto, Samantha Figgins, Celeste Mason, and Walter Russell III. Check it out below.

“‘Sugar’ is ultimately about the desire for goodness and purity (and true sustenance),” Stevens said in a press release. “On the surface the song is just a string of clichés, but the message is imperative: now is the time to gather what is good and pure and valuable and make it your own, and share it with others. Feed your soul and speak new life into those around you. Give each other love, respect and sacrifice. Relinquish all the old habits, all the old ways of thinking and doing, all former practices—‘business as usual’—and bring new life to the world. This is our calling.”

Speaking of the inspiration behind the choreography, Abraham explained: “The way I approach choreography tends to blend elements of the everyday with moments of abstraction. I was compelled by the tempo and the tone of the song…especially when choreographing the duet material and solo material for Samantha Figgans and Raymond Pinto. This song and its undertones created a lot of really fun scenarios to play with choreographically.”

The Ascension arrives on digital platforms on September 25, with the physical release being postponed to October 2 due to COVID-19. ‘Sugar’ marks the third single from the album, following ‘America’ and ‘Video Game’.

Pixey Shares Video for New Single ‘Just Move’

0

Rising Liverpool artist Pixey has shared a new single titled ‘Just Move’. The upbeat track arrives with an accompanying music video directed by Daniel Broadley. Check it out below.

“‘Just Move’ was written and recorded in my bedroom at the beginning of lockdown,” Pixey explained in a statement. “I thought it would be ironic to write a dance tune when the last thing anyone would be doing is going out and actually dancing. On the flip side I really missed going out and doing something that simple. It’s a clear instruction – the song’s meaning is as literal as it sounds. With the last few months feeling so complicated and unprecedented I thought it would be refreshing to write something with a simple request, as dancing and moving is in (most) people’s nature!”

Marking her Club Chess Records debut, ‘Just Move’ follows on from her independently released 2019 EP, Colours.
