Timothée Chalamet becomes first solo male cover star of British Vogue.

Timothée Chalamet covers the latest issue of British Vogue, making him the very first solo male cover star for the magazine - as photographed by Steven Meisel and styled by Edward Enninful.

“I hate to say it, but the dream as an artist is to throw whatever the f**k you want at the wall, you know? And I guess what I’m realising is that one’s personal life, one’s adult life, can be quite boring and the artist’s life can still be extraordinary.”

A Death Cab for Cutie x 'Asphalt Meadows' appreciation post.

Death Cab for Cutie today have released their 10th studio album titled 'Asphalt Meadows' - which is the follow-up to their 2018 release, 'Thank You For Today'. The album features previously released singles, ‘Foxglove Through The Clearcut’, ‘Roman Candles’ and ‘Here To Forever’.

So today on the day of release, we are celebrating... 

#1. Watch the music video for the song 'Here to Forever'. This song was the final track that they wrote for the record and marked the second taste fans got of 'Asphalt Meadows'...

An online accompaniment to CDM Zine #14 - Beginnings Zine.

The theme of this month's DIY zine is 'beginnings' and we have contributions this month from guest curators: Joy Crookes, Malia Pyles, Pale Waves, Peach PRC, Tate McRae, Tierra Whack, and Wet Leg. 

Exclusively for this print zine, each guest curator has put together some pages relating to what beginnings means to them.

+ thank you to Wyatt Knowles for designing the cover of this month's zine!

Review: Billie Eilish - Spark Arena, September 2022.

"Why, hello there," playfully greeted Billie Eilish to her crowd of adoring thousands gathered at Spark Arena on a Thursday night to see her - continuing: "It's nice to be back." This show marked Eilish's return to Auckland since she was last here in 2019, when she played her very first arena show ever (also at Spark Arena). She fondly reminisced with the crowd as she recalled "bawling [her] eyes out" of happiness immediately after that show.
