Today we talk about Tim Commerford’s cancer diagnosis, Miley Cyrus’ NYE party, and Steve Aoki going to space. — Tim Commerford Diagnosed with Cancer Tim Commerford, bassist for Rage Against the Machine, told SPIN magazine that he has prostate cancer. He went on to say his prostate has been removed, but he almost wasn’t well enough to go on tour with his band. In the interview he said, “The glass is half-full.

Over the last two years, most of us have had a lot of extra time at home. Some people chose to learn something new (I downloaded Duolingo and now hablo español), some people spent a lot of time on TikTok or Netflix (or both), and some people helped score a recreation of the cult classic The Princess Bride. Or at least that’s what Christo Bowman, lead singer of indie-rock band Bad Suns did. “I’ve never even seen the [original] movie,” says Bowman when I ask him about the experience. We’re chatting via Zoom—he’s in the green room at the Rialto… Read more »
