Halestorm spell-out their hard-rock mission statement on the new track “The Steeple,” a defiant redemption song that finds the band’s Lzzy Hale emerging from the wilderness of pandemic isolation.
“This is my kingdom / this is my cathedral / this is my castle / these are my people,” she howls. “It’s been a long road outta hell / up to the steeple.” The dramatic high point, though, comes not in the chorus, but after guitarist Joe Hottinger’s intricate, spiderweb solo, when Hale repeats the chorus a cappella.

Dvbbs are back today with their most mesmerizing material to date with the new Beautiful Disaster Ep. Despite making their name in the big room arena, the Canadian DJ duo have steadily been changing their image in recent memory with songs like “La La Land” with Shaun Frank and Delaney Jane, and the new collection sees them delivering their most diverse offering yet. Released via their own Kanary imprint, the Beautiful Disaster Ep features a number of collaborators, most notably rapper Juicy J.
Over the span of six tracks, Dvbbs offer up a genre bending collection of songs that touch on trap, house and future pop. Tracks like the Juicy J collab “Moonrock” and “24K” serve as the Ep’s more energetic moments as they deliver hard hitting trap beats and blaring bass.
The Ep really shines on its softer material though, with tracks like “Doja” and “Not Going Home...

Swashbuckling actor who starred in Adventures of Don Juan and Robin Hood dies following heart attack
Vancouver, October 15
Errol Flynn, the film actor, whose favourite saying was "the way of a transgressor is not as hard as they claim," died in Vancouver last night in the apartment of a doctor friend. He had dropped in for a drink, but suddenly complained of a pain in his back and died of a heart attack - his fourth. He was 50.
Obituary
Errol Flynn was born on June 20, 1909, in Hobart, Tasmania, where his father and mother were cruising on a marine biological study. His father, Professor Theodore Thompson Flynn, of Queen's College, Belfast, is an authority on ocean life and is at present engaged on research work at London University. In Beam Ends, the first of three books he wrote, Errol Flynn recounted that in his early days, before he started acting, he was a policeman,...

The Last of Robin Hood
Written by Richard Glatzer and Wash Westmoreland
Directed by Richard Glatzer and Wash Westmoreland
USA, 2013
The Last of Robin Hood depicts the last romance of Errol Flynn’s life from the not-so-tender age of 48 until his death. Who was the lucky girl? Beverly Aadland. One person’s definition of luck is most people’s definition of statutory rape—something that Flynn had some trouble with before—as Miss Aadland was under 18 at the time. This is the crux of the conundrum behind the story and what would regularly confound a filmmaker in bringing it to the screen—even Vladimir Nabokov’s Lolita screenplay was rejected and reworked by Stanley Kubrick. Fortunately for the audience, Richard Glatzer and Wash Westmoreland are no regular filmmakers (see Grief, The Fluffer, and Quinceanera). They have written and directed a film about three protagonists (Beverly Aadland, her mother Florence, and...

The atmosphere of the new trailer for the highly anticipated adaptation of supernatural teen novel Beautiful Creatures is… well, moody. Over the ghastly, thumping ecstasy of Florence + The Machine’s “Seven Devils,” it tells the story of teenage outcast Lena Duchannes (Alice Englert), who is feared, distrusted, and deemed evil by her Southern townsfolk. Except Ethan Wate (Alden Ehrenreich), who wants to get to know Lena for himself. But judging from the deaths and shattered glass the mysterious beauty leaves in her wake, will it be at his own peril? Judge for yourself below.

What distinguishes this Oscar-winner from its competitors is the way that it mythologises the past but trashes it too
Should you ever find yourself in Los Angeles and in need of reading material, allow me to make a literary suggestion. Well, "literary" might be an exaggeration. But seeing as you would be reading it in a town in which movie studios insist on describing Adam Sandler as "a comedian" and an egg-white omelette on my hotel's breakfast menu is called "a tasty treat", one doesn't need to be too much of a stickler about nomenclature. Los Angeles is a town with history pools so shallow that the 1940s are as legendary and distant as the tale of King Arthur is in Britain.
The book that you should read – ideally in the garden of the Chateau Marmont, the Beverly Hills Hotel or any of the many establishments that play on references...

Errol Flynn in 1936. Credit: Condé Nast ArchiveToday the outburst of excitement over the Academy Award nominees has me contemplating the stars and mulling over all the sordid Hollywood gossip I’ve been reading lately. One noteworthy story places a prominent leading man in the shadowy chambers of a whorehouse in Marseilles, where for a little after-dinner entertainment he witnesses a braying donkey mount an unusually indelicate young French girl. If you don’t recall seeing that item in the tabloids, it’s because the incident took place more than half a century ago, when the legendary Warner Bros. action idol Errol Flynn was building a global reputation as a man with exorbitant tastes and a prodigious ego. Flynn’s autobiography, aptly titled My Wicked, Wicked Ways, recently fell into my hands, and since picking it up I have been constantly drawing comparisons between his exploits and those of contemporary Hollywood fixtures.

No 76: Errol Flynn 1909-1959
Flynn was born in Tasmania, the son of an eminent marine biologist, and early on developed a passion for the sea and a reputation as a rebel. Spotted by a Warner Brothers talent scout while a young, very minor actor in England, he became an overnight Hollywood star in 1935 as a last-minute replacement for Robert Donat as the swashbuckling hero of Captain Blood. By 1936 he was the leading contender to play Rhett Butler in Gone With The Wind.
Flynn was tall, slim, graceful, debonair with a neatly trimmed moustache, a winning smile, a hearty, self-mocking laugh. Everything he did, both on screen and off, contributed to his legendary status: the colonial background (he claimed to be a descendant of Fletcher Christian); the celebrated characters he played (General Custer, Robin Hood); his sexual conquests; his prodigious phallic dimensions (according to Truman Capote in Music for Chameleons,...
