Safdie's new ping pong movie drops with a stacked soundtrack. The film Marty Supreme, directed by Josh Safdie and starring Timothée Chalamet, was released today alongside its score by Daniel Lopatin. The composer, also known as Oneohtrix Point Never, created the music to reflect the mercurial nature of the main character, a 1950s table tennis champion. The track Force Of Life features vocals from Weyes Blood's Natalie Mering and percussion from Laraaji. Lopatin described aiming for a sound between tradition and invention, using neoclassical and electronic textures.
The movie itself is a cameo frenzy set against an anachronistic 80s soundtrack. Despite its 1952 New York setting, the film includes hits from Alphaville and Tears for...
Morrissey finally got a label, but it's for the wrong album. The singer announced Sire Records will distribute his new work, yet the upcoming release is You're Right, It's Time, not the long-delayed Bonfire Of Teenagers. He recorded Bonfire several years ago with producer Andrew Watt, featuring guests like Miley Cyrus and Iggy Pop. Its title references the Manchester Arena attack. The album he is actually putting out was made more recently in France with producer Joe Chiccarelli.
His recent tour schedule is a mess of cancellations. He called off shows in Ottawa, Turkey, and South America last year for various reasons. Now his scheduled concert in the Dominican Republic appears scrapped, with the listing removed from ticketing sites...

Akinmolayan is ready to blast some cinemas online. The filmmaker Niyi Akinmolayan is furious over issues with his new movie, Colors of Fire. He accused theaters of a deliberate scam, saying they list showtimes and sell tickets on their websites only to tell customers the film is not actually playing. He gave them an ultimatum to fix the problem by the end of the day, or he would publicly name the cinemas and their managers. Akinmolayan stressed that while theaters have the right to set their own schedules or reject a film, they cannot deceive paying audiences.
He called the practice wicked and deliberate. His warning, posted on Instagram, stated he already had evidence against three specific cinemas. He will not tolerate this happening...
2Baba says wack artists aren't real. The singer, also known for the track African Queen, argued that all music is designed to make people feel something. He claimed acceptance depends more on promotion and commercial strategy than pure talent. He pointed out that many so-called untalented artists actually make more money because they grasp the business side. Marketing the art, not just creating it, is what matters most.
He emphasized that no music is universally loved. Talent alone does not guarantee success. Everything ultimately comes down to the marketing, the promotion, and the business plan behind the work. Only the people who connect with the specific feeling of a song will become fans. In his view, calling an artist wack misses...
