AMERICAN VI: AIN’T NO GRAVE [AMERICAN/LOST HIGHWAY]
Since passing away in 2003, Johnny Cash has become the 2Pac of country music, pumping out posthumous albums from his now legendary sessions with Rick Rubin. If American VI: Ain’t No Grave is the final installment, it’s a fitting way to go out. Comprising cover songs ranging from Sheryl Crow’s foreboding “Redemption Day” to the Ed McCurdy classic “Last Night I Had the Strangest Dream,” the album reaffirms the fact that Cash could effortlessly create lasting music with his signature tenor and minimalist instrumentation. The standout track on the album is the previously unreleased Cash original “I Corinthians 15:55,” a redemptive song that sees Cash making peace with his own passing.
The desserts at New York City’s Jean Georges are some of the most sought-after sweets in the world. Tasty dishes, such as a citrus quartet featuring delicious innovations like halvah powder and a gelled Meyer lemon curd with lemon poppy cake, are the work of pastry whiz Johnny Iuzzini, who honed his sweet craft at a list of the city’s most-hallowed culinary temples. “I did whatever I had to do to work with the best,” he explains. Raised in rural New York, the star chef built his career from the butcher’s table up. At 17, he got a job at Brooklyn’s River Café but struggled with butchering meat. Growing up ...
Web exclusive: Check out our gallery of Korn tattoos here. Upload yours. Jonathan Davis is the last guy in America you’d expect to be well adjusted. Think about it: The guy’s whole career has been built on being a fuck-up. For the last 15 years, Davis has battled and exploited his inner demons as the lead singer of Korn, gaining legions of fans that empathize with his tortured childhood and share his dark fascinations. Born with severe, nearly life-threatening asthma, Davis was abused by a family friend as a boy, ostracized and ridiculed by his classmates as a teen, and became a drug addict and a rock star in his ...
GO [XL RECORDINGS]
Jón “Jónsi” Þór Birgisson gained fame as the frontman for Icelandic post-rock act Sigur Rós, but his solo release sees him transposing his gift for orchestral explosions into a pop-friendly context (mostly because he’s singing in English). Jónsi’s voice is so distinctive that the songs sound similar to Sigur Rós’s in many ways, but sweetly syncopated tracks like “Boy Lilikoi” manage to evoke Peter Gabriel rather than Mogwai, and melancholy meditations like “Kolniður” display a vulnerability that’s sometimes obscured by the grandiosity of his full-time act. The final result? An album that shows a new side to Jónsi without abandoning the sonic subtleties that have endeared him to countless fans all over the world.
The new host of MTV’s Headbangers Ball, José Mangin, got his first tat- too at 16 (Pantera’s famous Cowboys From Hell logo) and was hooked. But it was his encounter with the band’s late, great guitarist, Dimebag Darrell, that got him addicted. “I walked up to him and said, ‘Scarred for life, man,’ and he totally tripped out! Dime gave me a Coors silver bullet—I still have the can!—a black-tooth grin, and some hits off a killer bomber he had going around. I was never the same since.” Mangin was raised on “a healthy diet of tacos and metal.” He’s quick to profess his love for both, as well as ...
