C’mon! Let’s go! With every year that goes by, I am in worse shape than the year before. Not that I’ve ever been the picture of health, but I do fine. I walk (ten steps) to work. My diet is well-balanced (pizza). I get plenty (an excess) of sleep. However, after getting on anti-anxiety medication a few years back, I gained a few (40) pounds and haven’t been able to shed a single one of them. I’ve tried all the hottest exercises: Wii Fit, Ring Fit, uh… walking my dog, getting out of bed, making tea. However, they all tire…

You don’t need a working knowledge of niche South African genres – gqom or amapiano – to appreciate Moonchild Sanelly, a mischievous and box-fresh artist who is based in Johannesburg but has mainstream global adulation within reach. Combining the hard-hitting primary colours of Nicki Minaj or Doja Cat with the edgier electronics of MIA, the blue-haired, sex-positive rapper-singer is in a category all of her own, mixing snatches of Xhosa with the international language of flexing.The more eagle-eared will have clocked…

Coi Leray doesn’t like handsy fans.A clip from a recent show shows the rapper giving a lap dance to a fan on stage while performing her verse from Fivio Foreign’s B.I.B.L.E. cut, “What’s My Name,” which also features Queen Naija.Before she begins dancing on the fan, she directs him to move his hands. While he doesn’t touch her while she’s in his lap, she moves off of him and starts twerking in his direction, but off to the side. At this point, you can see him slide his hand up and touch her butt.“Get outta here!” she can…

Despite the James Webb being in place and set to start observations this summer, Hubble is still going strong. The nearly 30-year-old space telescope recently captured two galaxies locked in a dance. NASA shared the image this week, and space enthusiasts will want to see it for themselves.

There are times when I’m playing certain games where I want to play my music on Spotify instead of listening to the in-game soundtrack. I’ve done that for a few games — Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy, Spyro Reignited Trilogy, Shantae Half-Genie Hero, and Sonic Forces (the final boss, anyway) — but it doesn’t always work as well as I hope it will. In-game music tends to better suit the mood of the experience compared to anything I try to play over it. Soundfall, a co-op rhythm-based dungeon crawler from Drastic…

Based on John MacKay’s novel, a bestseller in Scotland, The Road Dance is the kind of film that rarely gets made these days: a big, sweeping melodrama that may unfold in the Outer Hebrides but has its roots in 50s America and the films of Douglas Sirk.Bright, beautiful but itching to leave the island, Kirsty Macleod (Hermione Corfield – keep an eye on this one, she’ll go far) is exactly the kind of young woman who regularly found herself crushed by misfortune in Sirk’s movies. The story opens just before the storm of the…

This Scottish period drama is “inspired” by true events and adapted from a novel by John MacKay, who says he based his book on something told to him as a boy: a story about a newborn baby found floating in the sea near his grandparents’ house on the Outer Hebrides. It struck me watching the film that it must really inspired by thousands of true events unrecorded by history: of women being raped and keeping silent out of fear – afraid of being blamed or not believed at all. Otherwise, it’s a heartfelt, nostalgic film with…
