Enigmatic goth icon Siouxsie Sioux has released her first new recording in nearly a decade — a new cover of Iggy Pop’s “The Passenger,” recorded as a duet with Iggy, for an ice cream commercial.
Siouxsie is of course plenty familiar with “The Passenger,” covering the song in 1987 with Siouxsie and the Banshees. The new version is unlike either the band’s horn-fueled cover, or Iggy Pop’s thrumming punk original; instead, it’s a moody, downtempo ballad that erupts with cinematic and orchestral splendor as Siouxsie and Iggy deliver fittingly dramatic vocal performances.

Siouxsie Sioux and Iggy Pop have loaned their voices to a new advertisement for Magnum ice cream, teaming up for a duet version of Pop’s 1977 hit, “The Passenger.”
Arranged by composer Sarah deCourcy, the new take on “The Passenger” reimagines the song in an ethereal setting, with a slower tempo and a silky soundscape of harps and strings. Over top, Pop and Sioux take turns singing lines from the verses before delivering the song’s “La la la la” refrain together.
Released earlier in April for Magnum ice cream’s “Pleasure Express” campaign, the song is the first new recording from Sioux since her 2015 single, “Love Crime.” Speaking about the duet, she said, “I love this song, and I’ve always loved Iggy’s voice. I adore how instinctive and spontaneous it all feels and to hear my voice with Iggy’s is such a dream.”

John McGeoch: The Light Pours Out Of Me is an upcoming documentary that will explore the life of a post-punk guitar legend.
Velvet Joy Productions is crowdfunding a new, feature-length documentary about Scottish guitarist John McGeoch. He worked closely with Howard Devoto, Siouxsie Sioux and John Lydon and inspired a whole new generation of artists, such as Johnny Marr, Jonny Greenwood, James Dean Bradfield and John Frusciante.
The documentary, which is titled John McGeoch: The Light Pours Out Of Me, is described as “a film about loss, contextualised by a daughter who lost her father and also framed within a narrative about a super talented maverick musician whose work is not – but should be – widely known.”
McGeoch struggled with his mental health and passed away in 2004, aged 48. The guitarist quit the music industry in order to spend more time with his family and qualified as a nurse, dedicating his life to help others,...

After an agonizing cancellation due to inclimate weather, Siouxsie Sioux was finally able to perform her first U.S. shows in 15 years Sunday night, May 21, as part of the Eighties-geared Cruel World festival.
Fans lucky enough to catch the show have started sharing videos from the concert, including a show-closing encore of the 1980 Siouxsie and the Banshees song, “Israel.” The last time Siouxsie had performed the song was 2013, at Yoko Ono’s Meltdown Festival in London.

Music fans were left muttering “Goodbye, Cruel World” on Saturday night, as the Rose Bowl “Cruel World” festival ended prematurely when lightning was spotted and a local storm warning threatened safety.
Fans were told to leave the stadium in the middle of Iggy Pop’s “The Passenger,” as the singer’s microphone cut off. A National Weather Service alert went out a little before 9:30 p.m. regarding a storm that threatened to produce strong gusty winds, heavy downpours, lightning and small hail as it passed between Pasadena and Monrovia. However, the storm never arrived at the Rose Bowl.
As a result of the evacuation, headliner Siouxsie Sioux’s set was canceled. The huge screens adjacent to the stage warned fans of the approaching storm and a message over the speakers asked them to quickly exit the stadium.
The festival was touted as a “Rain or Shine” event, leaving many fans embittered on social media.

Siouxsie Sioux performed for the first time in a decade on Wednesday at Ancienne Belgique in Brussels.
While her set was dominated by Banshees songs from “Spellbound” to “Happy House” to their Beatles’ cover of “Dear Prudence,” Siouxsie also performed tracks from her 2007 solo album Mantaray, including “Here Comes That Day” and “Into a Swan.”

It’s been at least decade since Siouxsie Sioux of Siouxsie and The Banshees fame played a proper live show, but that changes this year! Ahead of the enigmatic musician’s European tour this year, she had a warm-up show in Brussels at the Ancienne Belgique, performing a set that included many a Banshees classic.
Along with some of Siouxsie and The Banshees’ best-known songs like “Spellbound,” “Arabian Nights,” and “Cities in Dust,” Sioux also dug up her covers of The Beatles’ “Dear Prudence” and Iggy Pop’s “The Passenger.” She also played a few songs from her 2007 solo album Mantaray.
And although Sioux’s hair has gotten a bit tamer since the Banshees’ heyday — and she’s swapped out the winklepicker boots for sensible sneakers — you could say her stage presence is still pretty “spellbinding” (sorry), complete with plenty of high kicks and weirdo moves. Kids, here’s a real “Wednesday dance” for you.

Since making her on-screen debut in "Mermaids" at only nine years old, Christina Ricci has grown into one of the most prolific child stars who successfully made the transition into acting throughout adulthood. The seasoned starlet has always been a professional both on screen and off, captivating audiences with her unique look and diverse talent. For many of us, Ricci's most memorable role was her portrayal of Wednesday Addams in director Barry Sonnenfeld's 1991 film "The Addams Family" and his 1993 sequel "Addams Family Values." Donning raven-colored pigtails, a signature black dress, and flat-affect, Ricci became a generation's beloved personification of cartoonist Charles Addams' character. She not only embodied the role but also confidently asserted herself as an asset to the storytelling process by suggesting an alternate ending to the original "The Addams Family" script, a change that would resonate with audiences even decades later.

Mother Monster has seen the TikToks, and she's here to show us how it's done. On Dec. 8, Lady Gaga re-created Jenna Ortega's viral dance from the Netflix series "Wednesday," dancing to the tune of her own 2011 track "Bloody Mary." In the black-and-white clip, Gaga applies theatrical makeup and quickly pulls on a pair of plaid knee-high socks and her interpretation of a school uniform before stepping into frame with a very Wednesday Addams-style braided hairstyle and beginning to dance. "Bloody Wednesday," Gaga captioned the TikTok.
The dance sequence in the series was originally set to "Goo Goo Muck" by The Cramps. Ortega, the show's eponymous star, said her choreography was inspired by "archival footage of goths dancing in clubs in the '80s," as well as Siouxsie Sioux and Bob Fosse's "Rich Man's Frug."

Jenna Ortega has given the character of Wednesday Addams a comeback as well as The Cramps’ “Goo Goo Muck,” which features in the fourth episode during a quirky dance routine at Nevermore Academy’s annual Rave’N.
According to Billboard, the band’s 1981 cover of Ronnie Cook & The Gaylads’ 1962 single charted up to 134,000 daily streams.
Literally beating to her own drum with characteristically quirky choreography, Ortega keeps Addams’ deadpan gaze while dominating the dance floor and impressing her date Tyler (Hunter Doohan).

For me, the sounds of The Cramps song “Goo Goo Muck” will always be indelibly linked to imagery from director Tobe Hooper’s 1986 classic The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 – but I still think it’s pretty cool that the song happened to be featured in the Addams Family series Wednesday, which just made its debut on the Netflix streaming service last week. “Goo Goo Muck” is the soundtrack to a very popular moment from the show, where title character Wednesday Addams, played by Jenna Ortega, dances to the song. A dance that Ortega choreographed herself. You can watch this dance scene in the embed above.

This post contains spoilers for Netflix's "Wednesday" series.
2022 has been a banner year for Jenna Ortega. While she's been working for a decade now, it wasn't until her roles in "Jane the Virgin" and "You" that she caught the world's attention. She's since appeared in several shows, including "Big City Greens," and a slew of high-profile films, such as "Scream" (2022) and "X." Along with excellent turns in "The Fallout" and Netflix's "Wednesday," Ortega has commanded the conversation. She's more than a scream queen: Ortega is the moment.
Ortega's body of work also includes appearances in television series like "Stuck in the Middle" and roles in "Insidious: Chapter 2" and "The Babysitter: Killer Queen." Her other credits this year include "Carnage" and "Studio 666," a Dave Grohl-produced horror-comedy. Whenever Ortega appears on screen, you'll know it. She draws you into her world with performances that are grounded, authentic, and complex.

Is there anything Jenna Ortega can’t do? In the new Netflix series, “Wednesday,” Ortega takes on the role of Wednesday Addams, and as part of her prep process, she had to learn how to play the cello. She also took on the role of a choreographer to execute one of the series’ most memorable moments.
Episode four, titled “Woe What a Night,” sees the students of Nevermore Academy, the school for outcasts, attend the Rave’N dance. Wednesday reluctantly attends with Tyler Galpin (Hunter Doohan). As The Cramps’ “Goo Goo Muck” plays, Wednesday takes to the dance floor and throws out her kookiest of moves.
In a recent behind-the-scenes video, Ortega and her fellow castmates watch the scene, and she reveals, “I actually felt really insecure about this. I choreographed that myself and I think it’s very obvious that I’m not a dancer or choreographer.”

If you've already caught Tim Burton's new take on "The Addams Family" on Netflix this holiday weekend, you'll know there's a clear frontrunner for the best part of "Wednesday." It's a scene in the show's fourth episode, "Woe What A Night," in which confidently macabre teen Wednesday Addams (Jenna Ortega) breaks it down on the dance floor to The Cramps' "Goo Goo Muck."
It's a great moment that's at once kooky and graceful, spooky and fun -- basically everything you'd expect from the famous goth girl character. Now, a behind-the-scenes featurette shared via Netflix on Twitter reveals that Ortega herself put together the moves for Wednesday's dance. "I actually felt really insecure about this," the actor admitted. "I choreographed that myself."

When Dolly Parton learned she was going to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, her first reaction was to tell her supporters not to vote for her since she saw herself as strictly a country artist. But when she walked onstage near the end of the induction ceremony Saturday night at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, after witnessing an incredible evening of music by artists as diverse as Eminem, Judas Priest, Lionel Richie, and Duran Duran, a beaming Parton had a very different take on the situation.

After looking over the list of potential artists to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame this year, Duran Duran didn’t think they had a chance in hell. It’s not that they didn’t feel deserving of the honor, but they had spent decades of their career being the outliers who didn’t exactly do things like everyone else. But during their induction on Saturday night, the British glam rock stars proved that carrying that distinction is what makes you a star.

Based on Steve Jones’ 2017 memoir Lonely Boy: Tales from a Sex Pistol, FX’s miniseries Pistol thrashes through London’s early punk scene as seen through the bleary eyes of the Sex Pistols: guitarist Jones (Toby Wallace), drummer Paul Cook (Jacob Slater), singer John “Johnny Rotten” Lydon (Anson Boon), and bassist Glen Matlock (Christian Lees), who is unceremoniously dumped and replaced by John Beverley, who rechristened himself Sid Vicious (Louis Partridge). Emma Appleton plays the tragically flawed heroine Nancy Spungen.
The entire career of the Sex Pistols was a premeditated swindle malignantly perpetuated by their manager Malcolm McLaren (Thomas Brodie-Sangster), who similarly plotted the downfall of the rising proto-punk outfit The New York Dolls. He schemed the chaotic caper at 430 King’s Road, the boutique Sex, co-owned by the truly revolutionary Vivienne Westwood (Talulah Riley), after the artful dodging Jones tried to make off with the wrong pants.

This year is all about transformations.
Stellan Skarsgard in “Dune,” Jared Leto in “House of Gucci” and Jessica Chastain in “The Eyes of Tammy Faye” all required hours in the makeup chair and daily application of prosthetics for their roles.
At the other end of the scale, Kristen Stewart as Princess Diana in “Spencer,” Jennifer Hudson as Aretha Franklin in “Respect,” Lady
Gaga as Patrizia Reggiani in “House of Gucci,” Nicole Kidman in “Being the Ricardos” and Emma Stone in “Cruella” just needed little accents from a winged liner to a straight line or the perfect bold red lip, and even gold lipstick to make subtle statements about their characters.

Disney’s “Cruella” is both a live-action “101 Dalmatians” origin story and an ode to 1970s London. It’s set at the height of the punk rock era, when an “anything goes” mentality ruled music, fashion and makeup. When she took on the job, makeup head Nadia Stacey, who had previously worked with “Cruella” star Emma Stone on “The Favourite,” happily realized she was free to follow the punk rock ethos of unapologetically expressing your style. “This isn’t standard. It’s going to be unexpected for Disney,” Stacey promises.
The film follows a young Cruella, who gets a job at a fashion house run by the Baroness, played by Emma Thompson. Stacey says one look, where Cruella shows up to an event in a red ruffled skirt paired with a black jacket, was inspired by Stone’s red-carpet makeup at the London premiere of “The Favourite.” Stacey recalls seeing Stone’s bold dark lip.

The afternoon before he released his latest album, the Weeknd put out a press release in which he offered a hopeful promise for his new work: “Let the music heal us all during these dark times.” Such communitarian concern hasn’t often been his hallmark. He’s always been one of pop’s top emotional distancers, instilling the Top 40 with his brooding vision as he plays the disaffected R&b lothario — from the sepulchral sad-boy swagger of his landmark 2011 goth ‘n’ B opus House of Balloons to hits like his...

The first photo of Emma Stone as Cruella de Vil in the upcoming live-action film led people to compare the Oscar-winning actor’s appearance to post-punk icon Siouxsie Sioux when the image was shown to fans at the D23 Expo in Anaheim Saturday.
Fans were also treated to footage from the upcoming live-action “Mulan” film, teasing its colorful costumes, impeccable choreography, and epic scale. Star Liu Yifei was notably absent after her comments about the Hong Kong protests were met with backlash and calls to boycott the film.

English singer Siouxsie Sioux (real name Susan Ballion) gained international fame in the '80s for fronting the alternative rock band, Siouxsie and the Banshees, with her powerful vocals and edgy post-punk fashion sense. Siouxsie and the Banshees debut album, "The Scream," featured the band's breakthrough single "Hong Kong Garden." The band had continued success with epic albums like "Juju" (1981), "Hyaena" (1984), "Tinderbox" (1986) and "Through the Looking Glass" (1987). While the band broke up in the mid-'90s,...

Exclusive: Ruth Negga Reveals the Surprising Punk Rock Inspiration for Her Badass Role on 'Preacher'
In AMC's gothic action dramedy Preacher, Ruth Negga stars as the hard-drinking, tough-as-nails Tulip O'Hare, and despite the delicate nature of the flower she shares her name with, Tulip proves time and again she's not someone to be messed with.
The actress recently sat down with Et during a press junket promoting the second season of the acclaimed series, where Negga opened up about the surprising real-life icons who inspired her performance -- and revealed how her character is a far cry from how Tulip appeared in the comic book series Preacher is based on.
In the comics, Tulip is a skinny, blonde white woman who is getting her life back on track after kicking her drug habit. In the TV series, Tulip bites a man's ear off while fighting him in runaway car careening through a field and then kills him with an ear of corn. Then, she builds a bazooka out of tin cans and...

We look back at an often-overlooked part of the Ghostbusters legacy: it's Extreme Ghostbusters...
There was a time when no one cared about Ghostbusters. It was the late 90s - the pre-Pokemon, post-Mighty Morphin Power Rangers days to be exact. Nobody’s kid was exactly clamouring for a sequel, reboot, or a Ghostbusters continuation of any kind - except for Dan Aykroyd, who was practically lobbying for a third instalment while sitting front row at the Ghostbusters II premiere. Which is why we have this: an awkwardly timed, tonally disruptive Ghostbusters animated series.

American Horror Story is finally living up to the horror in its title once again with the bloody and uber-stylish Hotel...
This review contains spoilers.
5.2 Chutes And Ladders
If you just looked at the name of this show, you'd expect something, well, horrifying. Murder House definitely had its moments, and Asylum might have been the most unsettling series of the show, but American Horror Story hasn't been particularly horrifying the last few seasons. Sure, they both had their moments—the Freaks recreation from last season, Twisty's whole everything, some of Dandy's moments, the rape Minotaur... but lately, the gore and grotesquerie has been as comical as it has been horrifying. The zombie chainsaw attack from Coven, anyone?
We're only two episodes into American Horror Story: Hotel, but it already seems like the show is going to aim more to be horrifying than horribly campy. Not that it's not campy,...

Siouxsie Sioux ended an eight-year songwriting hiatus Saturday night when she contributed a new track titled "Love Crime" to the series finale of Hannibal. The Siouxsie and the Banshees singer's haunting, strings-laden track was spearheaded by the serial killer show's music supervisor Brian Reitzell, who spoke to Entertainment Weekly (via Pitchfork) about how he coaxed Sioux to record the track despite the singer stating she hadn't written a song or entered the studio in nearly a decade.

And so, in the end, Hannibal was a love story all along, and a doomed love story at that. The third season ended like prior seasons, with a wrap-up that could double as a series ender if it came to that; and since, apparently, it has come to that — with NBC deciding not to carry a hypothetical fourth season of this international co-production, and thus effectively ending it — we should marvel at this climax’s majestic, well, finality. Hannibal Lecter (Mads Mikkelsen) and Will Graham (Hugh Dancy) join forces to defeat the fearsome disciple/rival serial killer Red Dragon (Richard Armitage) in a super-slow-motion mano a mano: silent, gorgeously protracted, scored to an original Siouxsie Sioux and Steven Severin song titled “Love Crime” (what else!). As Hannibal’s showrunner Bryan Fuller put it in a Vulture interview — in metaphoric language, which, like so many Fuller observations, renders additional critical commentary...

The top two items on this week's list aired on NBC, but since one's already been cancelled and the other's being quickly killed off, it's feels wrong to call them "NBC shows." Both have been relatively acclaimed, but when it comes to the programming of what used to be known as TV's "Big Three," prestige alone doesn't sell. Those of us who favor the daring can be bummed about this, and blame the primetime broadcasters for not always backing their best. Or we can be glad these programs existed in the first place.

Hannibal, Season 3, Episode 13, “The Wrath of the Lamb”
Written by Bryan Fuller & Steve Lightfoot & Nick Antosca

With “The Wrath of the Lamb”, Hannibal wraps up its run, at least for now. While all involved have been qualifying the episode as merely the series finale on NBC, the show has yet to be picked up anywhere else and several key figures have moved on to new projects. Creator Bryan Fuller has mentioned the possibility of the team reuniting for a film at some point down the line, but for the foreseeable future, this is the series finale of Hannibal, and given its bloody, spectacular climax, that feels appropriate.

“Soon all of this will be lost to the sea.”
Hannibal’s final hour has come and gone, crumbling into the ocean like the bluff outside the title character’s seaside retreat and taking with it one of the most horrific and visually audacious shows ever to air. ‘The Wrath of the Lamb’ is not without its failings, but it’s gorgeous theater from its opening moments to its grand finale, a Grand Guignol of burning houses, windswept cliffs, and arterial spray. It asks us to look carefully not just at what transpires but at what has come before, identifying in those murky annals the first signs of Will’s corruption.

And so "Hannibal" has come to an end — at least on NBC, and probably in any kind of ongoing TV series form — with a corker of a finale that I had to discuss at length with Bryan Fuller. And I have my own thoughts on the finale coming up just as soon as I drop the mic... "See? This is all I ever wanted for you, Will — for both of us." -Hannibal Given that "Hannibal" has existed on the cancellation bubble for its entire run, Fuller says he likes to end every season with an episode that could function as a series finale if need be. But they've also been cliffhangers. Yes, ending the series with Will imprisoned for Hannibal's crimes would have been a sick joke, but there's so much more to see there; ditto ending it on Hannibal escaping the country after butchering Will and all his friends.

Tonight, Bryan Fuller and company gave us the end of "Hannibal" as we know it. Even if the money and logistics can ever be worked out for some kind of movie or miniseries featuring Mads Mikkelsen, Hugh Dancy, and this creative team, the show's time as an ongoing TV series is done, and it ended in a way that functions as a conclusion to the story, even if it's one that may outrage some fans. (My finale review is here.) Earlier this week, I spoke with Fuller about that ending, potential ways he could continue the franchise, the challenges of finally doing a direct adaptation of "Red Dragon," and a lot more — including me having a very different interpretation of the post-credits scene than what Fuller intended — coming up just as soon as you take the key from around my neck...
