Remembering Lil Peep

Rapper Lil Peep has died, apparently of a Xanax overdose, at age 21. The New York Times called the star one of "pop music's brightest and most promising young talents, blending the urgency and dexterity of contemporary hip-hop with the raw, serrated sentimentality of emo."

New Bowie documentary coming in January

A new David Bowie documentary will debut on HBO in January. David Bowie: The Last Five Years is directed by Francis Whately, who also made a 2013 documentary focusing on Bowie's '70s era.

Was Trent Reznor in Curb Your Enthusiasm?

Today's conspiracy theory: fans on Reddit have become convinced that Trent Reznor made a secret cameo in a recent episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm — as a silver-painted living statue. Where did they get that idea? Well, the living statue kind of looks like the Nine Inch Nails frontman, and Reznor wore a pair of shutter shades just like the ones worn by the living statue on the cover of a fake Nine Inch Nails album he teased as an April Fool's joke in 2009. Trent, is that you? (Billboard)
