Finneas and friend/collaborator Ashe have teamed up for the new single “Till Forever Falls Apart,” co-written by Ashe, Finneas, and Big Taste, and produced by Finneas and Big Taste. “Till Forever Falls Apart” marks the second time Finneas has collaborated with Ashe. In 2020, he served as executive producer of Ashe’s double EP, Moral of the Story, as well as co-writer of the EP’s title track. 

Said Finneas: “Ashe to me, is a timeless artist. Her music will be as relevant and important 30 years from now as it is today. Making music with her has always been an extension of our friendship and I could not love this song more.” Ashe added, “`Till Forever Falls Apart’ is one of my favorite songs with one of my favorite people…Finneas is one of the most talented people I know and it’s fitting to release this song with someone I love so much. I’m lucky to know him, and I hope to never know a life without him in it.”

Biden administration to allow migrant families separated at border to reunite in the U.S.

Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas said Monday that the Biden administration plans to allow migrant families separated under the Trump administration to reunite in the United States. Speaking during a news conference, Mayorkas called the separation of children from their parents at the Mexican border “the most powerful and heartbreaking example of the cruelty that preceded this administration.” Mayorkas said families will be given the option of reuniting in their country of origin or in the United States.

The administration is working with lawyers representing the separated families along with nongovernmental organizations, the nations of Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador, and the private sector. So far, about 105 families have been reunited.

Senate panel approves nomination of Merrick Garland as U.S. attorney general

tmp7b6f2321-5fda-4896-8831-2a823d3e83ac-jpg

On Monday, the Senate judiciary committee approved President Biden’s nomination of appellate court judge Merrick Garland to be the United States’ attorney general. The committee voted 15-7 early Monday afternoon to advance Garland’s candidacy. The nomination now advances to the full Senate for final confirmation. Most likely the Senate will hold a floor vote later this week, and is expected to approve the nomination. 

If confirmed, Garland will be sworn in immediately. Garland, 68, was nominated to the post of U.S. attorney general almost two months ago and appeared before the committee for a confirmation hearing last week, saying his top early priority would be overseeing the prosecution of rioters involved in the attack on the U.S. Capitol building on Jan. 6.  He told the panel: “I will supervise the prosecution of white supremacists and others who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6 — a heinous attack that sought to disrupt a cornerstone of our democracy: the peaceful transfer of power to a newly elected government. We will pursue these leads, wherever they take us.”

Garland first rose to prominence as a potential Supreme Court nominee in 2009 and 2010 for vacancies that ultimately went to Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan, respectively. In 2016 he was officially nominated by former President Barack Obama to replace late Justice Antonin Scalia, however senate Republicans denied Garland a vote and argued then that whoever won that November’s presidential election should choose Scalia’s replacement.

tmp069daa2a-ab0c-47ca-a180-0d7b06c05f09-jpg

The Chicago Bears announced that former Texas coach Tom Herman is joining the team as an offensive analyst/special projects. Herman was fired by the Longhorns in January after posting a 7-3 record in 2020. In his four seasons with Texas, Herman recorded a 32-18 record and was 4-0 in bowl games but never won a Big-12 championship. 

Herman was a coach with Houston before Texas, going 22-4 during his two seasons there. He was an offensive coordinator and the quarterbacks coach with Ohio State, Iowa State, Rice and Texas State and was part of the National Championship Buckeyes team that won in 2014 and was named the winner of the Broyles Award as the nation’s top assistant coach.

Scotty McCreery has dropped the music video to accompany his latest song “You Time.”

There are some moments [in the video] that really make me smile,” the singer continues. “I don’t want to give anything away, but the final scenes are based on what inspired me to write ‘You Time’ in the first place. … We all need ‘You Time’ with our significant other — for fun, romance, a recharge and more. It’s important we make time for that to happen often.”

CBS releases teaser for Prince Harry and wife Meghan’s interview with Oprah Winfrey

tmpddc0025e-a1c9-4f8e-971f-e9718c5d270c-jpg

CBS has released two 30-second excerpts from Oprah With Meghan And Harry: A CBS Primetime Special which is set to air at 8pm EST on Sunday.  Winfrey has said there are “no subjects off limits” of her highly-anticipated interview with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

The clips show Winfrey sitting opposite Meghan and Harry on the grounds of their California home in Montecito. In the first clip, Harry said he feared “history repeating itself” in a reference to the death of his mother, Diana, Princess of Wales. As he spoke of their decision to quit royal life and move to California, he told Winfrey: “I’m just really relieved and happy to be sitting here, talking to you, with my wife by my side, because I can’t begin to imagine what it must have been like for her, going through this process by herself, all those years ago. Because it has been unbelievably tough for the two of us, but at least we had each other.”

In the second excerpt, Harry says he is grateful to have had Meghan’s support throughout his exit from royal life, while also expressing admiration for what his mother had to endure under similar circumstances. Princess Diana was stripped of the Her Royal Highness title at the time of her divorce from the Prince of Wales in August 1996. She died in a car accident in Paris the following year.

The 90-minute CBS special will be the couple’s first sit-down interview together since their BBC engagement interview in November 2017.

Take a look at the last Nirvana live concert footage before Kurt Cobain’s death

tmpfcc9c397-2496-46aa-a138-bf959d7bf12a-jpg

While Nirvana‘s Unplugged concert from November 18, 1993 is often believed to be the band’s final show, the legendary group played another month of American concert dates, and performed in Europe in February the following year. Nirvana’s last concert actually took place on March 1st, 1994 in Munich, Germany, at Terminal Einz, an airplane hanger that fit 3,050 people. The band had to deal with technical issues, restarting “Come as You Are” over again when the power went out, and Cobain was experiencing severe vocal issues.

While cameras filmed the first few songs, but up until now no other audio has been heard from that last show.  However audio of “Heart-Shaped Box,” the final song of the night, has been released which was the final song Kurt Cobain ever played in public.  Curbain struggled through his performance, due to bronchitis and laryngitis issues. The last words uttered onstage were a simple, ‘Well, thank you.’  Kurt’s struggles with addiction and ongoing health problems led to doctor’s orders to cancel the remainder of the band’s European tour, and on April 5 Kurt Cobain’s body was discovered at his home in Lake Washington Boulevard, having died by suicide three days before at the age of 27.

You can listen to “Heart-Shaped Box” at the link – here.
