At this point, it’s industry folklore that some of the most iconic albums of our time were created in isolation.

The Indiana Pacers have hired former Toronto Raptors assistant Nate Bjorkgren as their head coach, the team announced on Tuesday. Bjorkgren spent the last two seasons under Raptors coach Nick Nurse, helping Toronto win its first NBA title in 2018-19. Given that the team followed that up with the league’s second-best regular-season record—resulting in Nurse […]

The award is presented annually to the best Canadian album, as decided by a jury of music journalists and broadcasters.

Dr. Martens has linked up with Medicom Toy—Japanese purveyors of streetwear’s most coveted toy, the Bearbrick—for a rework of its iconic 1460 boot. To celebrate its 60th anniversary, the UK footwear brand launched the 1460 Remastered Collection this year, asking 12 different designers to reimagine its most recognizable silhouette.

The New Zealand-born DJ-turned-host certainly has the CV for it: he’s renowned for his intimate one-on-ones with the world’s biggest artists (first on BBC Radio 1, then on Apple Music’s Beats 1) and is currently the global creative director of Apple Music.
