For the first time ever, Joy Division are releasing an official collection of live concert recordings. Due out September 25th, Eternal (Live) was organized over several years, and features recordings culled from 16 live performances. That includes audio sourced directly from a collection of broadcast recordings, soundboard recordings, and audience-recorded recordings/cassettes. The entire collection was then mastered in full at the famed Abbey Road Studios. Eternal features two previously unreleased shows: the famed Hope & Anchor pub (which is likely Joy Division’s London debut from December 27th, 1978) and Acklam Hall (where, on May 17th, 1979 show, Joy Division shared…

This has been a summer filled with flashes from the past due to the fact that some of the most nostalgic styles we’ve loved in decades past are finding their way back into our vacation wardrobes, but with a modern twist. Tankinis have shed their early 2000s reputation thanks to designer brands backing it while sporty swim shorts are becoming a favorite among fashion insiders who are known for cool factor.And it doesn’t stop there, minimalist bikinis, retro-inspired prints, and high-cut one-pieces continue to prove that sometimes the best…
I test a lot of gadgets, and most of them my husband ignores. Every once in a while, though, there’s something that impresses him. This year, it was the digital wall calendar. But not just any. I’m specifically recommending Skylight’s digital wall calendars.It’s a digital screen that sits in your home (I personally like it in the kitchen) to show you your calendars, and gives you tabs for to-do lists and chores for the whole family, meal plans and recipes to stay organized for the week, and some even switch to be a digital photo frame when not in use.…
What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write this book? My grandparents on my father’s side were from Scotland. Nana in the book is based loosely on my Nana and some of my memories of her. She was a gutsy woman. During WWII, she operated excavating equipment in a quarry. I visited Scotland and Ireland a few years ago and love the countries and their people. Needless to say, I’m a huge Outlander fan. I have a few more stories set in Scotland in the wings. If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters…
NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover alongside a rock with markings that resemble features made by microbesNASA/JPL-Caltech/MSSS NASA’s Perseverance rover has found complex carbon compounds in a Martian crater that had previously shown tantalising possible signs of ancient life. On Earth, these compounds are typically associated with dead organisms, but scientists say it is too early to draw the same conclusion here as these compounds are also found in lifeless environments, like on meteorites. In 2024, Perseverance entered a rocky outcrop, called Bright Angel, near what appeared to be an ancient riverbed that once fed a lake inside Jezero crater. Several rocks…

I feel hotter than the barbecue!” Your science teacher brother-in-law slyly says, “Try being an…
Toni Anne Barson Archive/Getty Images When “The Vampire Diaries” wrapped up its eight-season run on The CW back in 2017, the residents of Mystic Falls had a surprisingly bittersweet ending with only one of the Salvatore brothers making it out alive. But if the two stars of the show had their way, the ending would’ve been far more tragic. In the supernatural drama, Elena Gilbert (Nina Dobrev) is caught in a love triangle with two centuries-old vampire brothers: Stefan Salvatore (Paul Wesley) and his dangerously charming brother, Damon (Ian Somerhalder)…
I take notes during movies. Sometimes I fill up pages and pages; sometimes I write just a couple of sentences. During Olivia Wilde’s The Invite, I wrote three lines. Here is what I wrote:“A delightful domestic nightmare.”“Olivia Wilde’s Jason Sudeikis revenge movie?”“This is much better than Olivia Wilde’s last movie.”Wilde’s last movie was Don’t Worry Darling, a thriller about an eerily perfect 1950s community. Starring Florence Pugh and Harry Styles, it garnered way more headlines about Wilde’s supposed conflict with her female lead than anything onscreen. (“None of that has any bearing on my feelings about this project,” I wrote about it back in 2022. “Troubled…
The year 1985 wasn’t so much a turning point in pop culture, but ground zero. Live Aid, Bob Geldof’s monumental “Global Jukebox,” was presented in July of that year, and the music community, now aware of its power to mobilize at speed and facilitate change for good, was never the same. Explore See latest videos, charts and news In 1985, the era of post punk, new wave and synthpop was in the rearview. The future was U2, Bon Jovi, and even bigger hair than what came before. And in April of that historic year in music, WHAM’s George Michael and…
The state of my bank account doesn’t support a Euro summer, so I’ll have to settle for a South-of-France state of mind instead. If you’re also interested in dressing for the vacation you want, not the one you have, you’ve come to the right place. Our readers are obsessed with shopping at J.Crew and Zara, so it was a no-brainer to focus my search on these two retailers.Below, I rounded up my favorite pieces that are giving major I-vacation-in-the-French-Riviera vibes. A pair of green gingham pants from J.Crew, for instance, would look just as chic on a yacht as they…

Earth’s oldest known impact crater formed when a meteorite slammed into what is now Australia about 3 billion years ago — 470 million years later than scientists previously claimed, a new study suggests.The impact crater, known as the North Pole Dome crater, is located in Western Australia’s Pilbara region, which is home to some of the planet’s oldest rocks. It remains a record-breaking structure, beating the world’s next-oldest known meteorite impact crater — the Yarrabubba impact structure, also in Western Australia — by roughly 800 million years.”While the site had previously been identified as an ancient impact structure, its exact…
In “Fantasy Island,” viewers were transported to a luxurious, tropical paradise where host Mr. Roarke (Ricardo Montalban) and his trusty sidekick, Tattoo (Hervé Villechaize), fulfilled the wildest dreams of their wealthy guests. But there are two different origin stories on how the 1978 ABC drama came to be, as co-creators Aaron Spelling and Leonard Goldberg don’t quite see eye-to-eye on who delivered the pitch. According to Goldberg, the magic moment happened when he got caught daydreaming by network suits. In his version of the story, the idea sparked following sarcastic response from his very own lips. “What…

Manfred now believes he is John Lennon, which would be funny, except for the fact that he can’t remember where he buried the stolen money, and Anker needs to find it so he can pay back some very dangerous people.From there, the plot of The Last Viking tumbles into utter chaos. Anker kidnaps Manfred from a psychiatric hospital along…

The gene therapy is said to provides instructions for how to synthesise an anti-ageing protein, but it doesn’t integrate into a person’s genomeAndrew Brookes/Image Source/Getty Images An injectable gene therapy that promises to make people live longer will soon become available in certain nations. This is despite the fact that it hasn’t been tested in rigorous clinical trials and doesn’t have approval from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or other major regulators. The gene therapy, developed by Minicircle – a company headquartered in Austin, Texas – is designed to make cells produce more of an anti-ageing protein called…
AMC The “Breaking Bad” finale ranks as one of the best finales of all time, but the ending might have seemed a bit familiar to some viewers. Series creator Vince Gilligan says part of the climactic ending was actually lifted from one of his favorite movies, “The Searchers.” “The Searchers” stars John Wayne as a Confederate veteran who, along with his adopted nephew (Jeffery Hunter), spends years looking for his niece (Natalie Wood) who’s been kidnapped by Native Americans. Wayne says he’d rather see her dead than live as a…

There is a mysterious phenomenon in which strong radio signals arrive periodically from space, yet their source remains completely unknown. Known as “long-period radio transients” (LPTs), these phenomena are observed as radio bursts that repeat at intervals ranging from several minutes to several hours. Only a dozen or so examples have been discovered within the Milky Way, and their physical nature has long remained a mystery.Previous research has suggested that candidates for the source of LPTs include neutron stars known as magnetars, which rotate extremely slowly, and binary systems consisting of white dwarfs with companion stars. However, the magnetar hypothesis…
