The Best Albums of 2019
 
A former country singer became an anime master, heartland rock's long-serving king embraced folk balladry and cinematic strings, and a young female pop (super)star arrived, draped in over-sized Louis Vuitton gym shorts. It's all to say, 2019 was exceptionally—and refreshingly—weird for the world of music. Read More
 
   
 
 
 
 
JaNee Nyberg Once Made the World's Worst Old Fashioned. Jim Beam Just Gave Her a Shot at Redemption.
 
The world's worst Old Fashioned was made on a quiet summer morning in 2010, in a dot com startup's shoddily decorated conference room in Santa Monica. Mahalo.com had hired JaNee Nyberg to host a series of 50 cocktail tutorial videos that they would then upload to their YouTube channel. In the series' most infamous video, the actress, model, and part-time bartender slops together an Old Fashioned using no bitters, a giant orange wedge, a ton of ice, and an entire pint glass of bourbon. Now, everyone makes an Old Fashioned a little bit differently—here's Esquire's official recipe—but Nyberg's way was definitely wrong and totally hilarious. Read More

Lucas provided accounts that closed 197 murder cases, but now, a new five-part Netflix series is exploring the still-mounting evidence that almost all of these confessions were lies—and that hundreds of actual murderers have gone free.

This Bizarre Feud Between Nick Cannon, Eminem, and Mariah Carey Actually Goes Back a Decade
 
Eminem is no stranger to public celebrity feuds. In fact, when you hear about Eminem these days, it feels like it's only within the context of some childish bickering rather than for something with any sort of actual artistic merit. And his latest feud comes in the form of a reignited beef with with Nick Cannon, rapper and former host of America's Got Talent. The two have traded lyrical licks in the past week that technically started with an Eminem verse coming after Cannon and his ex-wife, Mariah Carey. Carey, presumably unbothered and thriving with a number three Christmas song on the Billboard charts, has not weighed into the controversy, but as the diss tracks continue, the argument between Cannon and Eminem is only heating up.
