Even in country’s current era of overnight successes and viral sensations, Dylan Gossett stands out.
Barely a year ago, the Austin, Texas, native had a day job and experimented with posting his music online on a whim. Fueled by the success of his debut, “To Be Free,” which amassed more than 18 million Spotify streams, and his breakout, “Coal,” Gossett can seemingly do no wrong at the moment. He is early in his No Better Time headlining tour, which this week included sold-out shows in St. Paul, Minnesota, and Chicago...

Rolling Stone’s Future of Music showcase has brought an array of genres to the Moody Theater in Austin over four nights, from hip-hop to música mexicana, urbano to Afrobeats, and beyond. The final night was all about guitars, bringing together acts from indie rock, country, and more who love the instrument. And for Faye Webster, that instrument is pedal steel guitar in particular.

2023 has been one of the most professionally exhilarating years of my life but also one of the hardest. I have been affected deeply by losing Tom Butchart suddenly in June, the childhood friend “the keeper of sacred knowledge and provider of affordable dreams” that I made Sound It Out (my 2011 film) about. We also lost my mother-in-law Pat and documentary titan Jess Search. The impact of these deaths have intertwined with hugely positive experiences that I could never have predicted, leaving me a little discombobulated, determined to live with boldness, albeit with a twinge of melancholy.
In February I received the Chicken & Egg Award, which is given to eight established filmmakers from marginalised genders a year. The recipients form a cohort, are given mentorship, and an unrestricted prize. I spent some of my award going out to New Mexico to experiment with the arts lab at the University of New Mexico...

It should come as no surprise that character actor Tim Blake Nelson — who led the western anthology film The Ballad of Buster Scruggs and played the unforgettable Looking Glass in the HBO series Watchmen — has written a novel. After all, he’s always been the bookish one on set. According to Joel and Ethan Coen, who cast Blake in the Homeric comedy O Brother, Where Art Thou?, neither they nor the other leads had ever read the Odyssey, on which the movie was loosely based. But Blake, who majored in classics at Brown University,...

On June 24, Emmy nominating ballots are due. (View the ballot listings online here. Fringe’s Joshua Jackson and Mike & Molly’s Melissa McCarthy will announce the nominees on July 14.) To celebrate, we phoned John Leverence, the Television Academy’s Svp of Awards, and asked a few evergreen burning questions.
• Who decides whether a show like Glee or Castle enters as a comedy or drama? Producers submit themselves, and then there is a review. Leverence says there have been ongoing discussions about whether to split the comedy category into two — sitcoms and dramedies. “When the Board was thinking about this, the feeling was that no,...

The cameramen for Spike TV’s new reality show Coal, from Deadliest Catch’s Thom Beers, are doing an undeniably good job documenting the lives of the miners who work Cobalt Coal in Big Sandy, W. Va. So good, in fact, that after viewing the first episode of the series, the federal Mine Safety and Health Administration and state Officer of Miners’ Health, Safety and Training cited Cobalt Coal for various violations that endangered miners. The Associated Press details the citations, which range from improper use of tools to individual miners failing to wear the correct reflective clothing or proper eye protection.

Coal powers roughly 45 percent of the nation's electrical supply; with about 24 percent coming from natural gas and 20 percent from nuclear (the rest is hydroelectric, petroleum or other).
Think about that next time you plug in the electric car.
The earth doesn't yield up its energy sources easily or safely, and coal is no exception. On Wednesday, March 30, Spike premieres "Coal," the new documentary series from Thom Beers and Original Productions, the company behind "Deadliest Catch," "Ice Road Truckers," "Ax Men" and more.
But not all coal goes for electricity. If it's highly metallurgical bituminous coal, it may be used for steelmaking, and it may be mined by Cobalt Coal Corporation in West Virginia's McDowell County. And the men who mine it may 700 feet deep in a dark hole so narrow that they often can't stand up straight, working under a ceiling (and a mountain above it) that could drop on their heads at any time.

Thom Beers, exec producer of Deadliest Catch, Ice Road Truckers, and Ax Men, is known for being the king of the dangerous job genre of reality TV. Without that reputation for delivering quality, guilt-free Testosterone TV (something he’ll speak about at next month’s Nab Show in Las Vegas), his latest docu-series, Spike Coal’s, premiering March 30, may never have happened. It took Beers four years to find the right coal mine to turn his cameras on: He needed a company willing to trust that he would show what working underground is really like (that’s where his credits...
