Swedish House Mafia’s Axwell And Ingrosso Confirm: An Album’s On The Way

by 05/29/14

Former Swedish House Mafia members Axwell and Sebastian Ingrosso made it Facebook official on Thursday (May 29): A joint album is in the works. The producing duo have a long history together before and after their work on SHM, but this will be their first-ever album release.

They both took to Twitter to announce the news after Zane Lowe opened his radio show teasing their new track, “This Time We Can’t Go Home.”

“So like Zane said, me and @axwell are finishing our first album together and he played a small clip tonight. This time we cant go home,” Ingrosso wrote, while Axwell said he was “looking forward to this new journey!”

Since the end of SHM, Ingrosso and Axwell have continued to work together on a residency in Ibiza called Departures, but as we saw with the release of the SHM documentary, fans are still hungry for more. Luckily, the duo already have two performances slated for the coming months–Governor’s Ball in New York City, and at V Festival in the United Kingdom, and a promise of an upcoming tour.

The guys also launched their joint Facebook page, and it already has 2.3 million likes.

EDC’s Pasquale Rotella Determined To See Festival Back In L.A.

by 05/28/14

This past weekend, EDC had another successful run in New York with headliners like Tiesto and Calvin Harris. And on Wednesday (May 28), the lineup for EDC Las Vegas was announced, with no shortage of household names on the roster.

But according to Insonmiac Events head Pasquale Rotella, the real headliners are the fans.

That’s the premise behind the Discovery Project, which hopes to bring aspiring electronic music producers from their bedrooms to the stage. Starting out playing what is known as the Discovery Stage, they will eventually graduate to performing on the main-stage of EDC for thousands of fans.

After EDC returns to Vegas, Rotella is looking to move EDC back west, to his home state of California.

The LA Memorial Coliseum hosted EDC in 2010, but shortly after Rotella was sued by the City of Los Angeles on multiple counts including civil fraud and unfair business practices. So while bring bringing EDC, or any of Insomniac’s existing events, back to California will be very difficult, Rotella says it’s just a matter of finding the right venue.

“I’m looking forward to bringing some of our known festivals back to California,” Rotella told us.”That’s where I come from, so it’s super exciting to me. There is a huge demand and there is a huge fanbase there– we are in the middle of working that out.”

17 Guys Over 40 Who Still Got It

by 05/10/14

From Paul Rudd to Pharrell to Jared Leto, some guys just make getting older look good. And while blowing out 40 candles on a birthday cake can spark midlife crises for an unlucky few, these 17 heartthrobs just keep getting better. Don’t believe us? Take a look!

1. Paul Rudd

He was cute in Clueless, loveable in “Friends” and now, at age 45, Mr. Rudd has blossomed into a full-blown heartthrob.

2. Eminem
2014 MTV Movie Awards - Show
Lets face it, Eminem was always hot and will probably always be hot. He makes 41 look good.

3. Matthew McConaughey
ITALY-CINEMA-DALLAS BUYERS CLUB
This guy started a nation-wide McConnaissance at the age of 44, so yeah, he’s still got it.

4. Johnny Depp
The Lone Ranger - UK Premiere - Red Carpet Arrivals
This 50-year-old is also known as the Sexiest Man Alive, that’s all we have to say about that.

5. Nas
Yahoo! Wireless Festival - Day 3
His fans still love him at 40 the way they loved him at 20, when he was just dropping his Illmatic debut, and understandably so.

6. Jon Hamm

Having an alter ego like Don Draper definitely doesn’t hurt his 43-year-old situation.

7. Nick Lachey
New Kids On The Block, 98 Degrees And Boyz ...</p>

The 11 Most Iconic Girl Power Tracks Of The ’90s

by 05/06/14

1. “Wannabe,” Spice Girls

All credit for the phrase “girl power” should probably go to Ginger, Posh, Scary, Baby and Sporty– and it a all started with “Wannabe.” This fivesome gets extra-extra credit for fashioning a hand gesture to accompany the phrase.

2. “You Oughta Know,” Alanis Morissette

Alanis’ pain really was our gain on “You Oughta Know.” This song is an instantaneous anthem for anyone and everyone after a break-up– it really fuels a feel good fire once you get into it. But maybe not for Dave Coulier.

3. “Just a Girl,” No Doubt

Gwen Stefani spent the ’90s redesigning what “cool” sounded and looked like for girls, and it started with this track. Whether you were 5 or 25, you knew Gwen wasn’t just a girl, and you weren’t either.

4. “I’m Every Woman,” Whitney Houston

Every woman wished they were Whitney. #queen

5. “No Scrubs,” TLC

Even if you might not have known exactly what a scrub was when this song came out, you definitely knew you didn’t want one.

6. “Man, I Feel Like A Woman,” Shania Twain

Shania transcends genres and time with this one. Whether you are at a bachelorette party or a Bat Mitzvah, this is still a go to girl power jam.


7. “Bills, Bills, Bills,” Destiny’s Child

Destiny’s Child taught many life lessons on girl power, but none more important than “Bills, Bills, Bills.” Fortunately, we do not think Bey runs into this problem in ...
