Groups like ABC, Duran Duran, and the Police were pushing musical boundaries before American audiences fully caught on. While bands like Mötley Crüe later became hugely popular on MTV, especially with the success of “Home Sweet Home” (which benefited from a voting glitch), New Wave bands truly defined the sound of MTV in the early 1980s.

Despite being lightweight and breathable, the fabric is still durable enough to withstand rough terrain.
Things are really heating up with Game Pass lately! On top of everything else, Vampire Crawlers just dropped – it’s a spin-off of Vampire Survivors and seriously addictive, mixing roguelike elements with deck-building. We even got a potential 2026 Game of the Year contender, which is a huge win for the service. And the best part? Both of those games were available on day one! But honestly, even with all this good stuff, there’s still a ton more on the way, which is awesome.
I’m so excited about the upcoming show at Albertz Benda! It’s the first time Felipe Pantone and the designer Etai are working together, and it sounds amazing. The exhibition, called Parallel Practices: Tailored Structures & Kinetic Surfaces, is going to be held in the gallery’s Los Angeles space – which is actually a really cool mid-century modern house. What I love is that it’s not just about displaying art; they’re setting up Pantone’s work and their furniture pieces together to create a whole environment that makes you think about how we live now, what things are useful for, and how we connect with our surroundings. It’s going to be a really immersive experience, not just looking at art, but feeling like you’re in it.
