Joji Announces His Fourth Album, ‘Piss In The Wind,’ With The ‘Pixelated Kisses (Remix)’ FeaturingYeat
Joji returned earlier this year with the moody new single "Pixelated Kisses," and today, he's dropped the glitchy video for its remix featuring fellow digital music misfit Yeat to announce the impending release of his fourth studio album, Piss In The Wind. The "Pixelated Kisses" remix video embraces the visuals evoked by its title, simulating a glitchy video experience populated by Japanese bargirls. Meanwhile, his reference to all the satellites being down from the chorus is echoed by the use of broken clips of space shuttle launches. Yeat appears in his usual balaclava, distorted by digital noise like a bad…

Clipse Will Be The First Musical Guests On Amazon’s NBA Postgame Show, ‘NBA Nightcap’
NBA Nightcap, Amazon's postgame talk and analysis show, has been a hit in its debut season, adding innovations to the format such as high-tech studio segments and fresh voices from vets like Blake Griffin, Dirk Nowitzki, Steve Nash, and Udonis Haslem. This week, the show will add a new wrinkle: Musical performances. On Friday, December 5, NBA Nightcap will debut its new segment, "Amazon Music Presents: In The Paint," with its first-ever musical guests, Clipse. The segment will be filmed "in the paint," literally, on the LED half court that the studio team uses for in-depth, three-dimensional analysis. Here's a…
Where To Eat, Drink, Sleep And Explore Year-Round In The Heart Of The Alps: Andermatt, Switzerland
From as far back as I can remember, I grew up looking at a photo in my grandfather's office of his “family home” in Switzerland. The chalet amongst the forested mountains looked unreal, even as a child. I was enamored with the photo, but truthfully never imagined I’d see the landscape myself. That all changed (luckily) this year, as I was invited to spend time exploring the Alps in Andermatt, Switzerland. You might not be familiar with Andermatt (I wasn’t, transparently) but while this ski area doesn’t have the same number of opulent trending TikTok videos as St. Moritz or…
Bruno Mars, Sombr, Kendrick Lamar, And More Had Spotify’s Top Songs Of 2025
Apple Music shared its year-end list of the platform's top music of 2025, and the most-streamed songs were primarily from 2024. Today (December 3) is Spotify's turn, as Spotify Wrapped is out now. It's mostly older songs dominating the list of top global songs, too. The top songs list is as follows: 1. Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars -- "Die With A Smile" 2. Billie Eilish -- "Birds Of A Feather" 3. Rosé and Bruno Mars -- "APT." 4. Alex Warren -- "Ordinary" 5. Bad Bunny -- "DtMF" 6. Sombr -- "Back To Friends" 7. HUNTR/X, EJAE, AUDREY NUNA, REI…
‘Mother Mary’: Everything To Know About Anne Hathaway’s Pop Star Drama
Director Director David Lowery called Mother Mary, his upcoming movie, "a weird, weird film." That makes sense, given that A24 is distributing and they're known for pushing the envelope in the name of creativity. Lowery has some great partners to help bring this vision to life: Anne Hathaway plays a larger-than-life pop star who has a tense reunion with a former friend and costume designer played by Michaela Coel. The movie doesn't skimp on the musical elements, as Charli XCX, Jack Antonoff, and FKA Twigs contribute music to the film, while Twigs also has an acting role. Ahead of the…

Finland's Flow Festival has been a terrific event for over two decades now, and the magic is set to continue with next year's edition. It's set to go down from August 14 and 16 in and around the iconic Suvilahti Power Plant in downtown Helsinki.

Also appearing areAres, Arppa 8-pack, asla jo, DJ Kridlokk: Hai, Honey Dijon,…

Damon Albarn is preparing for a big Gorillaz year in 2026: The band has a new album, The Mountain, on the way in March. Before that, fans in Los Angeles have the opportunity to hear it early, as today (December 2), Gorillaz announced a pair of full-album performances at The Hollywood Palladium, set for February 22 and 23. Additionally, their "House Of Kong" exhibition will hit Rolling Greens DTLA from February 26 to March 19. Tickets for the exhibition are on sale now, here.

King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard Announce The Only US Shows They’re Playing In 2026
Ever-busy Australian rockers King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard will actually be fairly subdued next year, at least in terms of their live appearances in the US. Today (December 2), the band announced what they say will be the only shows they'll play in the US in 2026. First, their Field Of Vision festival is going down at Meadow Creek in Buena Vista, Colorado from August 14 to 16. Playing at the festival are Blood Incantation, Die Spitz, DJ Crenshaw, Earth Tongue, Etran de L'Aïr, Folk Bitch Trio, Lisa Bella Donna, Pattie Gonia, and Upchuck. Then, the band will do…
The Strokes And Noah Kahan Headline Bonnaroo Festival’s 2026 Lineup
Bonnaroo Festival has announced its lineup for 2026, featuring headliners Noah Kahan, RÜFÜS DU SOL, Skrillex, and The Strokes. Returning to Bonnaroo Farm in Manchester, Tennessee on June 11-14, 2026, the four-day festival will run the gamut from EDM (Major Lazer, Zack Fox) to hip-hop (Vince Staples, Freddie Gibbs) to rock (Turnstile, Mt. Joy), and everything in between. After the 2025 festival was canceled over weather concerns, many of the same artists are returning for a do-over, even though a bunch of them still played a separate show in Nashville that weekend. Bonnaroo tickets go on sale Friday, December 5…
Apple Music’s Five Most-Played Songs Of 2025 Are All From 2024
Back in July, Luminate, which provides chart data for Billboard, shared the most-streamed songs of the year so far. In the top ten, only three songs were actually released in 2025, while the rest of the streaming hits originally came out in 2024. At least on Apple Music, that didn't change throughout the rest of the year. Today (December 2), Apple Music revealed its year-end charts, and the top five most-streamed songs globally are all from 2024. Per MacRumors, the platform's biggest songs of the year, in order, are Rosé and Bruno Mars' "APT.," Kendrick Lamar and SZA's "Luther," Lady…
The Lil Uzi Vert Renaissance Continues With The Colorful ‘Regular’ Video
The Lil Uzi Vert renaissance continues with "Regular," the Philly rapper's latest colorful video. Like "Chanel Boy" and "Relevant," "Regular" sees a revitalized Lil Uzi burst firing rhymes about how cool the rapper is while showing off an impressive sartorial collection -- one that now includes a few flashes of firearms, for some reason (Uzi named their self after a gun, but that was more for their rapid-fire flow than any sort of proclivity toward violence). The last three singles appear to be a hard reset to the Uzi of old after recent efforts left fans disappointed, through no fault…
The Vinyl Gift Guide For The Music Lover In Your Life
The holiday season is in full swing and there are plenty of gift options for your loved ones this year. But if there's something we feel most strongly about here at Uproxx, it's the arts, and specifically ways to bring art into your home and the homes of your loved ones. In a world that seems to be deprioritizing ownership of physical media all the time, we can't think of a better way to support the artists we love and give a gift whose enjoyment is limitless. We've listened to a lot of great vinyl this year, so this is…
Uproxx’s Baylee Lefton Uses Kaytranada As A Jumping-Off Point With Her Latest Playlist

She delivered a fresh set today (December 1), and the vibe is tunes for fans of Kaytranada. https://www.instagram.com/p/DRuqbFyD_ey/ As Baylee put it, her picks fall in the realm of Kaytranada's "electronic, R&B, funk, groovy house." The mix starts with "Bet You…
The Hit Era: Hit-Boy Reveals His 20 Favorite Nas Songs Of The 2020s
True longevity in hip-hop is rare, and in recent years, Nas has been showing the culture how it’s done. When the world shut down at the start of this decade, he opened up. COVID and pandemic be damned, the Queensbridge heavyweight embarked on a celebrated six-album run. That’s right, in an era where legacy artists rarely rewrite their own stories, Nas did — three times over. At the center of this unprecedented 2020s renaissance stood Hit-Boy, the masterful producer who helped spark a new golden run with the King’s Disease and Magic trilogies. Together, the dynamic duo won a Grammy,…
FKA Twigs Promises A Compelling Dance Experience On Her 2026 ‘Body High Tour’
FKA Twigs has long been a stellar performer, and next year, fans will get to see it on stage: Today (December 1), Twigs announced the Body High Tour, which runs from next March to June. Teasing the tour last week, Twigs wrote on Instagram: "BODY HIGH. a live show. by myself, by us. created in the throes of EUSEXUA and the highs of AFTERGLOW. the whole of my life has been dedicated to movement and the mercurial nature of the body. throughout EUSEXUA my dancers and i have been allocating time before rehearsals to exploring movement, to discover something new.…
Uproxx’s Joypocalypse Explains Why Mannequin Pussy Are ‘Essential Listening’ In Modern Punk
Mannequin Pussy have had an excellent past couple years. In 2023, they managed to buy back their masters and re-release their sophomore album, Romantic, on Romantic Records, their own imprint through Epitaph. At the time, they had love for their former label, Tiny Engines, and thanked their new one "for being among our first supporters and for their early belief in our music and secondly for giving us this opportunity." The prosperity has only continued from there. Their latest album is 2024's I Got Heaven, which was one of the year's best-received albums: It was one of the top-ranking projects…
SNX: This Week’s Best Sneakers, Featuring The Jordan 4 Black Cat And More!
Welcome to SNX DLX, your weekly roundup of the best sneakers to hit the internet. With Black Friday Weekend comes the weakest list of sneakers we’ve had all year. We couldn’t even round up five noteworthy pairs, so this is going to be a pretty truncated list. Luckily, what’s here is pretty interesting, whether you like classics like the Air Max 95 OG and classic black and white and the legendary Black Cat Jordan 4, or more contemporary looking styles like the Air Max 95000 and the New Balance 204L. Nothing this week is going to blow you away, but…
The Best Vinyl Releases Of November 2025
Anybody who thought the vinyl resurgence was just a fad was mistaken: The industry has experienced a legitimate revival. As a result, music fans are interested in physical media in ways they may not have if the decades-old medium hasn't made a comeback. That doesn't mean everybody is listening to just their parents' old music, though. That's part of it, sure, thanks to rereleases that present classic albums in new ways. A vital part of the renewed vinyl wave, though, is new projects being released as records, of which there are plenty. Whatever you might be into, each month brings…
Jack White And Eminem Just Released Their Epic Thanksgiving NFL Halftime Show On Streaming
The NFL made a big deal of the halftime shows for its Thanksgiving games this year: Post Malone played at the Dallas Cowboys-Kansas City Chiefs game at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas; Lil Jon did the Baltimore Ravens-Cincinnati Bengals game at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore; and Jack White performed at the Detroit Lions-Green Bay Packers contest at Ford Field in Detroit. It turned out White wasn't alone, even beyond his band: As he performed his White Stripes song "Hello Operator," fellow Detroit icon Eminem made a surprise appearance, turning the song into a mash-up with "'Till I Collapse." Beyond…
Upgrade Your Gift Giving Game With These Cool Tech And Gaming Finds
Not all gifts are created equal. Some are boring, some are confusing, and some are the kind that immediately end up in a drawer. But not the ones on this list. We went hunting for tech that actually wows -- stuff that’s stylish, functional, and just impressive enough to earn you some bragging rights. From electric bikes to cutting-edge wearables, noise cancelling headphones, handheld gaming systems, and more, these gifts are worth their price tags. They're the kind of "products" that eventually turn into investments, gear that actually earns its spot in the daily routine of whoever's tree they end…
The 2025 Uproxx Cannabis Gift Guide – The Edibles, Flower, And Accessories For The Stoner In Your Life
If you find yourself struggling to figure out what to buy your favorite stoner this holiday season, you're definitely overthinking the whole thing. Take it from our weed-loving writers, getting us weed for the holidays might seem too obvious, too simple, too easy but, we're an easy crowd. People who love to get high love to, well, get high. So yes, we could buy edibles, flower, or vapes ourselves, but the high somehow just hits harder when we haven't paid a cent for it. So we're going to make this as easy as possible for you by dropping a cannabis…
Fred Again Created The Drum Sounds For One Of His New Songs By Just Banging On A Table
Fred Again.. continued his ongoing USB series of song drops today (November 28) with not one, but two new songs: "Icey" and "Feisty," both of which feature BIA. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87XbYi98DTg On Instagram, Fred offered a cool one-minute behind-the-scenes video of the making of "Icey." Specifically, the video focuses on the percussion and how Fred made them simply. He begins by using his hands and wrists to bang out a rhythm on the table. He then adds sounds like a marker clinking against a glass and rubbing two markerboard erasers together. In a recent post, Fred discussed how his recent output has…
Criterion’s Wes Anderson Box Set Is The Full-Proof Gift For Film Lovers
Most people probably don't remember this, but from 1992-2002, the MTV Movie Awards gave out an honor for Best New Filmmaker. For a show whose awards ranged from Best Kiss to Best Fight, this particular category remains surprisingly sophisticated and has aged incredibly well. The initial trophy went to the late, great John Singleton for his instant classic Boyz N The Hood and subsequent years included names that would become box office juggernauts (Christopher Nolan for Memento, Guy Ritchie for Lock, Stock And Two Smoking Barrels, Doug Liman for Swingers) and some of the great artists of their generation (Spike…
Ed Sheeran’s New Deluxe Edition Of ‘Play’ More Than Doubles The Length Of The Original Album
Upon its initial release on September, Ed Sheeran's new album Play had a fairly standard 13 songs. With the latest deluxe edition that's out today (November 28), though, Sheeran has more than doubled that, to 27 total tracks. Of the 14 bonus tracks, five are brand-new songs. Among the highlights is "Skeletons," a rhythmic song that sees Sheeran singing navigating conflict in a relationship: "Don't wanna make an enemy of you / And it breaks my heart / We're diggin' up old skeletons at 2 / When our bodies could be / Makin' the most of our time in this…
Indiecast Addresses Listeners’ Emails
Steven and Ian open this week with an extended dialogue about an ongoing war at concerts, especially ones featuring aging artists -- the "sit down!" people vs. the "I'm not gonna sit down!" people. Who is right, and how can this be resolved? This also do a "yay or nay" on The Lemonheads, whose frontman Evan Dando has a new memoir out. Then they answer listener emails about college radio, the proper set length time, the preponderance of "deluxe" editions for recent indie releases, and the first "great" indie album. In Recommendation Corner, Ian talks about the band Some Images Of…
