Pussy Riot imagine the chaos of a Trump presidency in “Make America Great Again” video - watch

Pussy Riot have been on a video-a-day binge this week, and today they've revealed the reasoning behind it. The Russian punk protestor group (which now seems to be more of a pop/hip-hop outfit featuring only Nadya Tolokonnikova) has announced the release of a new EP, xxx, for this Friday, October 28th.


The Dave Sitek-produced “Organs” and “Straight Outta Vagina” will feature on the three-song set, as will the newly released “Make America Great Again”. While the previously released tracks were feminist anthems, this new one takes clear aim at Republican presidential nominee Donald J. Trump. (Though, of course, there are still some anti-misogyny sentiments given the target.) The most poppy track of the trio, the song presents its own plan to keep America great in the plain English of the chorus: “Let other people in/ Listen to your women/ Stop killing black children.”


Like the other xxx songs, this one comes via a new video. In the clip, Tolokonnikova imagines the dystopia of a Trump presidency, one where people are literally branded “outsider”, “fat pig”, or “she made an abortion.” (Okay, so the English isn't exactly perfect yet.) Directed by Jonas Akerlund (Madonna, Lady Gaga, BeyoncĂ©), the video can be seen above.


Nadya will particpate in a Facebook live interview with the New York Times Editorial Board today at 1:00 PM EST, and will also host a Reddit AMA tomorrow at noon. On November 2nd, she'll host a Pussy Riot Social Hour at Los Angeles' ACE Hotel Upstairs. Below, find the xxx tracklist and cover art.

Mac DeMarco Helps Out Aussie Muso With A Hilarious Infomercial

Mac DeMarco Helps Out Aussie Muso With A Hilarious Infomercial

Alex Cameron is about to take on the big kahuna – the United States. His debut album, Jumping The Shark, which dropped back in 2014, is just now seeing its Stateside release and he's received a helping hand in selling it from Mr Mac DeMarco.


DeMarco and the Seekae main man have been buds since back in the day when Cameron opened up for the Canadian songwriter on one of his European tours. DeMarco is such a fan of our boy that he's decided to give him a bit of a boost in the North American territory.


DeMarco has shared a rather hilarious 'infomercial' urging people to rush out and buy a copy of Cameron's debut. Or y'know, just buy it online since it's 2016 and all and you don't really need to 'rush out' anymore unless you want to support your local record store…


We digress. The point is you can check out the infomercial below. The gist of the clip is DeMarco basically torturing his bandmate Jon Lent with copies of Cameron's album. As with most DeMarco productions, it's low rent but charming and genuinely funny.

Here's What Prince's Urn Looks Like

Although Paisley Park Museum opened to the public over the weekend, non-attendees had little idea of what's actually inside since photos were prohibited. Of course, this meant a relative few knew what Prince's sacred urn -- one of the exhibit's main attractions -- actually looks like. It's so sacred that People got the first photos of Prince's…
