Earlier today, Nintendo devoted 25 whole minutes of its E3 Nintendo Direct news blast to introducing the new Super Smash Bros. for the Switch.

Hello there. My name is Paul Maroon, and I’m a professional musician who’s played in bands for the past 30 years, most recently in a group called The Walkmen.

New York City has been taking the death of chef-turned-television personality Anthony Bourdain especially hard: After all, he was one of their own, the son of a New York Times staff editor and a Columbia classical music executive who spent 20 years working his way up from a line cook to an executive chef at…

Donald Glover may be putting his Childish Gambino alter ego on ice soon, but he’s clearly making the most of his remaining time with his acclaimed musical project.
