“Marty Supreme,” the 2025 drama about table-tennis player Marty Mauser, dominated online conversation through strategic marketing – from branded clothing to a projection on the Las Vegas Sphere. More notably, lead actor Timothée Chalamet took an unique approach to promoting the film.

During the press run, Chalamet focused on incorporating his interest in underground rap, a genre popular among younger audiences. By incorporating the genre into the film’s promotion, “Marty Supreme” reached audiences beyond traditional movie buffs. The inclusion of underground rap on mainstream platforms legitimized the genre’s artistic credibility, and is a turning point toward broader artistic freedom.

Harry Styles’ “Forever, Forever,” released Dec. 27, 2025.

Has Harry Styles made his long-awaited comeback? Sort of. 

The former One Direction star unexpectedly released a video to YouTube on Dec. 27, 2025 titled “Forever, Forever,” that gave fans a look into the final show of the long running “Love on Tour,” that spanned two years, two albums, and three Grammy Awards.

The video featured concertgoers preparing for the show outside of RCF Arena in Reggio Emilia, Italy, and included bits of conversation that ranged from Styles’ possible outfits for the evening to his impending hiatus. “Some sadness because it is the last show, then he will disappear. We won’t see him dancing on stages anymore,” said one fan.

The artful and nostalgic footage captured the feeling of attending “Love on Tour” and the community Styles nurtured…

The name Barry MacGuire has the kind of alliterative, punchy ring that feels pulled from a 1960s superhero comic – simple, strong, memorable, and sounding every bit like the protagonist in a classic caped adventure. Although you probably won’t catch Barry MacGuire soaring through the sky or zapping lasers from his eyes, he’s still very much a hero, just one who is the sound of the radio at 99.1 The Beat Eugene.

When MacGuire first gave me the station’s address, I geared up to arrive at a squat, retro radio house perched atop a hill, framed by a monstrous radio tower. You know, the kind that evokes that old-school, slightly kitschy vibe, with big black letters spelling out the station’s call sign above the door. But when I pulled into the lot, I was met instead with a three-story, all-white commercial building with shiny windows. The only hint that it…

Album cover for Florence and the Machine's "Everybody Scream."

On the day of tricks and treats, Florence and the Machine released their sixth studio album, “Everybody Scream,” under the Republic Records label. It’s been three years since their previous album “Dance Fever.”  

According to Rolling Stone, during their “Dance Fever" tour, Florence Welch, lead singer and songwriter, experienced an ectopic pregnancy which required a life-threatening surgery. Despite this tragic event, Welch grew from this experience, saying “When you have to have emergency surgery, the lights are so bright; it’s so clinical. There was a sense afterwards that I needed to be near to the earth. I needed to be near natural things.” The “natural thing” Welch turned towards was magic. 

Bassvictim performs at Holocene in Portland, Ore., Nov. 3, 2025.

EDM couple and duo Bassvictim performed at the Holocene in Portland earlier last month on November 3rd. The duo ran songs from their latest album “Forever” – released just barely a month before their performance – along with other famous hits like “Forever Salty,” “Canary Wharf Drift,” and “Gajówka.” One of their more well known songs, “Air on a G String” had fans uncontrollably moshing and reaching for the Polish-American vocalist Maria Manow to join…
