Josh Homme hosted an all-star benefit concert in support of his Sweet Stuff Foundation at the Belasco in Los Angeles on Wednesday. Over the course of the evening, he welcomed friends and collaborators to the stage, including Dave Grohl, Beck, St. Vincent, The Kills, Chad Smith of Red Hot Chili Peppers, Matt Helders of Arctic Monkeys, Jesse Hughes of Eagles of Death Metal, Bill Burr, and more.
Not surprisingly, Grohl provided several highlights. He went head to head against Smith in a drum off, and briefly attempted to sing a duet of Simon & Garfunkel’s “Sound of Silence” with Homme. Later, after joking that he attempted to learn how to play Doja Cat’s “Paint the Town Read” to no avail, he instead debuted an entirely new song he wrote about Homme.
Other notable moments included tennis legend John McEnroe briefly trying his hand at covering Beck’s “Fume,” before...

AT&T has unveiled its “Sound of Silence” advertisement for the first-ever inclusive 5G helmet for Deaf and hard-of-hearing football players.
The football helmet was built in collaboration with AT&T and Gallaudet University, which is a global leader in bilingual education for the deaf community.
The new ad, which features the song “Sound of Silence” playing in the background, offers a glimpse at how the helmet enhances on-field communication for student-athletes who use American Sign Language. The technology works by showing a coach’s play in the athlete’s helmet through augmented reality on the digital display located within the visor.
“Last Saturday, Gallaudet Football and AT&T made history with the first-ever 5G connected helmet. The output of this collaboration is the epitome of how Connecting Changes Everything,” said Kellyn Kenny, chief marketing and growth officer at AT&T. “Every detail of ‘Sound of Silence’ gives you a glimpse into...

“People used to say I had my finger on the pulse,” Paul Simon tells Alex Gibney early in his artfully composed documentary, In Restless Dreams: The Music of Paul Simon. “I just have my finger out there and the pulse is running under it.” Either way, few people have had as central a role in American pop music and culture as Simon. Gibney, best-known for exposes including The Inventor, about Elizabeth Holmes’ tech-company fraud, and Going Clear, on Scientology, turns out to be the ideal director to explore Simon’s long, varied run.
Simon invited Gibney into his home studio in Wimberly, Texas, where the cameras watch him tinker with the sound on his latest album, Seven Psalms (released in May) and talk about his career, inspirations, aging and what the loss of hearing in his left ear has meant. With that album as an anchor, the film mostly flashes back and forth in time,...

Bob Dylan is a phenomenal songwriter who doesn’t need much help from other artists to write great music. He did collaborate with other artists, such as George Harrison and Tom Petty, but he has had a fantastic career as a solo singer. One artist who rose to fame around the same time as him was Paul Simon, who did write a song for Bob Dylan, but the folk-rock singer turned it down.
Bob Dylan never capitalized on a song Paul Simon wrote for him
Paul Simon rose to fame in the 1960s, around the same time as Bob Dylan. Simon was the second half of the Simon & Garfunkel duo that he started with Art Garfunkel. The pair had several essential songs from the decade, including “Mrs. Robinson” and “The Sound of Silence”. In a 2011 interview with Rolling Stone, Simon admitted he didn’t like coming in number two to...

Stars: Peter Stephen Wolmarans, Sandra Pizzullo, Penelope Sangiorgi, Rocco Marazzita | Written and Directed by Alessandro Antonaci, Daniel Lascar, Stefano Mandalà
Sound of Silence was written and directed by Alessandro Antonaci, Daniel Lascar, and Stefano Mandalà who work collectively under the label of T3. They previously made the feature You Die and several shorts including the 2020 short Sound of Silence which they’ve now expanded into a feature. But can the concept survive going from three minutes to ninety-three minutes?
An old man, Peter (Peter Stephen Wolmarans) is puttering around in his attic when he finds an old, possibly antique, radio. He becomes so intent on fixing it that he ignores his wife (Sandra Pizzullo) telling him dinner is ready. He should have listened to her because once the radio is working it unleashes something that attacks them both.
In New York City, Emma (Penelope Sangiorgi), an aspiring singer, freezes at an audition.

There have been plenty of directing duos over the years, it's not often that you get a trio though. That's bring us here with an Italian horror flick called Sound of Silence from Alessandro Antonaci, Stefano Mandalà, and Daniel Lascar, known collectively as T3 Directors.

We've included that short - a near three minute dose of holy shit after holy shit - down below with the trailer. Can T3 Directors take a three minute idea and extend it to ninety minutes? It's not the first time we...
