Fall Out Boy will drop limited vinyl editions of their eighth studio album So Much (For) Stardust with the introduction of Crynyl – records filled with real tears from the band. Upon its March 24 release, So Much (For) Stardust debuted at No. 1 on the Rock Album charts.

Created in partnership with Los Angeles based art studio BRAIN, the band first teased Crynyl’s arrival last month with a mysterious post showcasing Pete Wentz extracting said tears. The first-of-its-kind drop launches with 50 double-sided LPs sealed with the band’s tears, and are now available for $99.99 at crynyl.com. Each Crynyl comes packaged in a gatefold box with a built-in, fully functional tissue dispenser.

The band will also be launching their headlining So Much For (Tour) Dust tour across stadiums and arena. The 25+ date North American trek will kick off at Chicago’s famed Wrigley Field on June 21st before continuing through cities like St. Louis, Dallas, Phoenix, Atlanta, Toronto, and concluding in Camden, NJ on August 6th.

No Comments on Jack Harlow shares the music video for “They Don’t Love It”

After releasing his third studio album, Jackman, last Friday, Jack Harlow is bringing fans to his hometown in the first official video from the project, “They Don’t Love It.” Harlow announced the new album on April 26, with no singles or press leading up to the release.

Directed by Eliel Ford, the visual for They Don’t Love It features Harlow taking viewers on a mini-tour through the streets of Louisville, Ky., visiting his old schools, playing soccer and barbecuing with his family and friends.

The 10-track Jackman is a major departure from Harlow’s mainstream album of 2022, Come Home The Kids Miss You, which included Harlow’s first Billboard Hot 100 chart-topper, “First Class.” That album debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 and earned several Grammy nominations, including best rap album.

Take a look at the video for “They Don’t Love It” – here.

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy vows support of Israel in speech to legislative body Knesset

No Comments on House Speaker Kevin McCarthy vows support of Israel in speech to legislative body Knesset

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy delivered remarks before the Israeli Knesset, the national legislature of Israel. McCarthy led a bipartisan congressional delegation, consisting of 20 lawmakers, to the country to celebrate its 75th anniversary of independence. The trip is McCarthy’s first foreign trip as House speaker and marks the second time a sitting speaker traveled to Israel since Newt Gingrich did so in 1998.

Receiving a standing ovation for his remarks, McCarthy reinforced U.S.-Israeli relations and announced the formation of a House-Knesset parliamentary friendship group. He said the newly formed friendship group will allow the House to engage more directly with the Israeli Parliament, travel to Israel to strengthen existing relationships and host Knesset members traveling to the U.S: “This will be part of a new chapter of U.S.-Israel relations … If we remain united, then the forces of freedom and democracy will always prevail … This is the foundation of our special relationship.”

McCarthy emphasized Israel’s efforts to achieve independence in his speech to the parliament, calling the nation’s rebirth “nothing less than a modern miracle,” and said that the United States and Israel are the only two countries “conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all our equal.” Said McCarthy: “My greatest hope is that our special relationship can serve as a foundation for greater peace across the Middle East. The progress towards peace in the past few years have simply been remarkable.”

The House Speaker said the Iranian regime is the main threat to peace in the Middle East: “Most of the turmoil in this region, the violence and instability, can be traced back to that source,” and added that as long as he is House Speaker, the United States will continue to fully fund security assistance for Israel and ensure that Iran never acquires a nuclear weapon: “We cannot allow the Iranian regime’s evil campaign to succeed.”
