If you are familiar with the YouTube ecosystem, then you know of Fousey. Of course, he mostly went by FouseyTube when he started his career. Overall, he made a name for himself off of fake pranks and other debauchery. However, his career fell apart in 2018 thanks to the infamous July 15th incident. Subsequently, he decided to rebuild and entered the influencer boxing space. After a tough loss to Deji, Fousey began streaming on Twitch, where he is in the midst of a 24-hour subathon.
The subathon essentially means he is streaming every single second of the day as a way to amass as many subscribers as possible. Throughout this time, he has garnered lots of attention, although not for the best reasons. His streams have devolved into some wild antics, and even some manic episodes. Fans are worried for Fousey, although he is content with moving forward with all of his content plans. For instance, last night, he was on stream with a kid named Neon, who runs in the same circle as Sneako and Adin Ross.
As you can see in the clip above, Fousey does the popular meme of asking someone to name five DDG songs. Upon attempting this with Neon, the streamer quickly realizes that Neon cannot name a single song. Consequently, he gives the kid a massive wedgie, much to his chagrin. Once the clip started to make the rounds online, DDG responded on Twitter with some appreciation. “I would’ve did the same for u twinn @fousey,” the artist wrote. You love to see the camaraderie.
As for Fousey’s future, he is currently streaming on Kick. They are a bit lighter when it comes to the terms of service, which allows the man to get away with a lot more. Ultimately, this is why you see Adin Ross on Kick. He can effectively say whatever he wants, with far fewer consequences. Let us know if you tune into Fousey’s streams, down below.

Steve Albini‘s bands Shellac and Big Black now have their catalogues available for listening on Spotify.
Albini passed away aged 61 earlier this month due to a heart attack. He was well known for being the producer of major albums such as Nirvana’s ‘In Utero‘, Pixies’ ‘Surfer Rosa’, PJ Harvey’s ‘Rid of Me’, Manic Street Preachers‘ ‘Journal For Plague Lovers’ and more.
Back in 2022, the late producer took his music off the streaming platform. He had previously criticised the company for platforming anti-vaxxers such as Joe Rogan, and tweeted later that they were a “terrible company”, adding: “I don’t want to be part of their business”.
He later told Attack Magazine that Spotify was “one of the few places outside of record stores where recorded music can earn anything at all, and for bands [with] more generous, honest relationships with independent labels not part of the ownership trust, then the payments from Spotify, though meager per-play, can add up to a viable income stream. Nobody’s getting rich, but it could pay for the groceries.”
Now, it appears that Albini’s work with his bands Shellac and Big Black are now available to stream on Spotify. This include’s Shellac’s final album ‘To All Trains’, which was announced shortly before Albini’s death and was released last Friday (May 17).
Tributes have poured in for the legendary producer since the announcement of his death. Our NME obituary hailed him as “a lone voice of anti-industry punk scene ethics, even as he worked with major labels on some of the biggest names in alternative rock.”
Meanwhile, Foo Fighters dedicated a rendition of ‘My Hero’ to the late producer in Charlotte, North Carolina last week.
“Tonight I’d like to dedicate this song to a friend that we lost the other day, who I’ve known a long, long time,” Foos frontman Dave Grohl told the crowd. “He left us much too soon. He’s touched all of your lives, I’m sure. I’m talking about Steve Albini. For those of you who know, you know. For those of you who don’t know, just remember that name: Steve Albini. Let’s sing this one for him.”
PJ Harvey also said he “changed the course of my life” during sessions for her 1993 LP ‘Rid Of Me’., and Joanna Newsom dedicated a version of her song ‘Cosmia’ to him, who engineered her 2006 album ‘Ys’. See further tributes here.
Elsewhere, Yourcodenameis:milo spoke to NME about how the 20th anniversary of their LP ‘All Roads To Fault’ was made all the more profound by the passing of Albini, who engineered the album.
Remembering their time with the punk and production legend, Lockey said: “We paid attention, saw everything he did, asked questions that he would gladly spend ages answering”.
“He once stopped the session and proceeded to give us a lecture on how the peanut built America. He schooled us in billiards, then showed us his favourite cooking shows that he’d recorded. It was all so natural and encouraging, we could do what the fuck we wanted and he’d capture it. That’s the deal, and we fucking loved it.”
