It’s a chilly Friday afternoon on the Upper West Side of NYC, but Marcus Haney, the quintessential Angeleno, appears unfazed. Accompanied by only a heavy backpack and vintage valise, he’s on his way to Amsterdam to promote his newest project. Casual, funny and down–to–earth, he discusses his adventures with ease and confidence. You could almost mistake him as your typical L.A. college kid—except for the fact that he’s well on his way to shake up the film industry, and he’s no longer in college (he dropped out of USC). He told Street his story: one that required some luck, many risks and a whole lot of talent.

Tensions are running high on the night of August 24th, 1944. The end of World War II is near, and General Dietrich von Choltitz (Niels Arestrup) has one goal: to destroy La Ville Lumière, Paris. Consul Raoul Nordling (André Dussollier), the Swedish–French diplomat, is tasked with stopping Choltitz from completely annihilating his beloved town, acting under Hitler’s order. If he fails, 1.5 million French citizens will be buried alongside a bombed–out Louvre, Notre Dame and Eiffel Tower.

Pink Floyd's 15th and final album leaves British psychedelic rock fans with a bittersweet taste
in their mouth. After all, “The Endless River” represents the end of an
era. Based on earlier 1990s recordings, the album is reminiscent of the old
while remaining aware of modern challenges (such as living on without key band
members—this was recorded sans Roger Waters). This is a composite of ambient tracks
that might not break your heart but will suit the soundtrack to your thoughts.
The band leaves us, this time for good, but there is reason to rejoice. Even
though they bid you adieu with this smooth (and sometimes heavy, especially
"Talkin Hawkin" and "Things Left Unsaid") finale, you don’t
have to kick your Pink Floyd obsession just yet.

It was 11 p.m. on a Friday, and the line went around the block. You saw all of your friends in line—people who had been bragging about getting their ticket since day one. Scalpers were yelling that they were selling tickets for $200 a pop. The concert sold out as soon as it was announced. For those who don’t know, he’s a Norwegian dude named Kyrre Gørvell–Dahll, better known as Kygo. Who? Bear in mind he didn’t only sell out at Penn, but all over the nation, including multiple stints in LA and New York. If you weren’t there when the 23–year–old DJ came to Philly’s Union Transfer, then you missed out on something spectacular. Having millions of fans on SoundCloud is one thing, but mixing in front of a jam–packed audience that knows all the lyrics to all your songs, ready to dance, is a whole other deal.

Here are three things you need to know about "Whorl": it just came out, it’s hot, and it’s about to make your late nights a lot more fun. Oh, and did I forget to mention it’s the fourth album by Simian Mobile Disco, the house dynamic duo from London? Before you ask, there’s a lot more to them than the label. If you don’t recognize the band name, it’s all good: all you need to know is that it’s James Ford on the drums and Jas Shaw on keyboard, and both used to be part of the now–extinct band Simian. The defunct group's biggest hit was “Justice vs Simian,” remixing Justice’s “We Are Your Friend.” They’ve expanded since then, and are way more than just an MTV hit.

There are many ways you could have heard about Zane Carney. If you haven’t, it’s time you did. If you're a fan (or closeted fan) of John Mayer, then you're probably familiar with Carney’s work as the Grammy-winning star’s guitarist. I urge you to see him as more than that, because he’s more ubiquitous than you think. Broadway enthusiast? You’ll find him rocking out in New York at “Spider-Man Turn Off The Dark” as the show’s lead guitarist. Maybe you spotted him opening for everyone from U2 to The Black Crowes to Fergie as part of CARNEY, the band he spearheaded with his brother. And yes, you’ve probably seen him on TV: on Kimmel, Leno or the CW, among others.

A visionary, an artist, a poet: the legendary rocker’s legacy remains. Known for his twisted tales about vibrant cities and their wild outcasts, Lou Reed was born in Brooklyn and passed away in Long Island. His musical history, defined by poetic lyricism and dark grungy tunes, consists mainly of his leadership in The Velvet Underground and his solo career post–1972. During his early years, the notorious guitarist was known to follow the chaotic, out–of–control urban scene of the ‘60s. However, during his late years, he led a more tranquil lifestyle, replacing drugs with tai chi and rowdy Chelsea girls with his wife, Laurie Anderson. Yet throughout his career, he remained anything but average as he continually pursued the spirit of rock ‘n’ roll. As a person, he was quite the contradictory character and fostered an interesting, albeit troubling past. As an artist, he was definitely ahead of his time, as he collaborated closely with artists such as Andy Warhol and mixed rock with avant–garde experiments, art and literature. In the ‘60s, Lou Reed was somewhat of a New York myth—the one who captured an extraordinary moment in time. As producer Tony Visconti told Rolling Stone, Reed was “the quintessential New York. He took advantage of everything. He was everywhere. Everywhere.”
