theverge.com Robyn Kanner 2026-01-10 12:00:00

Jeff Buckley captivated an audience of generations with his transcendent voice and soaring guitar. After his untimely passing in 1997 at age 30, he gained posthumous, cult-like status. Never one for the charts, his album Grace has stood the test of time and is listed on Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. His live performances were famous for transforming any space, regardless of size, into an intimate listening experience. And his unfinished demos are something fans have collected

Ahead of iOS 26 launching this fall, Apple Music for Android is beta testing version 5.0.0 with new features and design tweaks. The Android app does not get a Liquid Glass redesign with the same bottom bar and docked Now Playing controls as before. It’s unfortunate from a cross-platform parity standpoint, but hopefully a future update will introduce it.

The best thing about Jurassic World Rebirth is it sent the franchise back to basics. Figure out a story that necessitates a few characters ending up on an island populated by deadly dinosaurs and see what happens next. It’s a formula that’s worked in the past and worked again here, to the tune of well over $750 million and counting worldwide. However, if you missed the adventure in theaters or want to experience it again, you can do so at home this week. Universal just announced that Jurassic W

Band Appears on Stage With Poorly-Disguised Robot Playing the Keytar

During a Chinese music festival, a humanoid robot named "Adam" graced the stage in what was half performance art and half marketing stunt — and did so while semi-disguised in a loose-fitting hoodie that did a terrible job obscuring its mechanical legs and hands that made it very clear that it was, indeed, a robot. As spotted by New Atlas, Adam the robot was dressed in a loose grey sweatshirt with the hood up, a long face mask, and Yeezy-style sneakers — but, let's be real, no pants — as it play

In many ways Arvo Pärt and John Williams’s music couldn’t be further apart. One celebrates simplicity, purity, and draws much of its inspiration from sacred texts; the other captures strong emotions in sweeping orchestral scores. And yet the two men are today’s most performed contemporary composers. Bachtrack’s annual survey of classical music performed across the world placed Pärt second (John Williams is in the top spot) in 2023 and 2024. In 2022, Pärt was first, Williams second.
