Crush Club and Robyn

Crush Club and Robyn: TC Milan of L.A. electro disco house duo Crush Club told us about his Robyn experience.TC Milan: The best gig I’ve ever experienced was Robyn’s Honey tour at Madison Square Garden. Ordinarily, artists pull out all the stops for a headline show at MSG, but Robyn kept it pretty simple with minimal set design, a small band, and one featured dancer. I appreciated the simplicity; it was all about her performance with no tricks necessary. She sang songs from Honey but also gave us past hits she knew we needed, like a good mother.Robyn is an icon to me for paving her own way to the career she wanted, always staying true to her authentic pop / dance music style, and remaining available and dedicated to her devoted fans. I used to study videos of her performances so I could emulate the way she connects to audiences while playing. It wasn’t something I could actually learn but hoped nonetheless I’d acquire some of her magic through osmosis. It was thrilling to see her pl...

Published Wed, 26 Feb 2025 01:42:08 GMT

By Jordan Valinsky | CNNNew York  — Some Verizon customers might have found an unexpected surprise in the mail this week: An opportunity to receive a refund as part of a proposed $100 million settlement from a class-action lawsuit.Eligible customers are receiving postcards or emails alerting them to file a claim by April 15 to receive up to $100, which is the result of the lawsuit accusing Verizon of charging fees that were “unfair and not adequately disclosed.”At issue is Verizon’s “administrative charge,” which the plaintiffs said were “misleading” because that fee wasn’t disclosed in their plan’s advertised monthly price and were charged in a “deceptive and unfair manner.”Verizon has denied the claims and said in a statement that it “clearly identifies and describes its wireless consumer admin charge multiple times during the sales transaction, as well as in its marketing, contracts and billing.”A company spokesperson said that the charge “helps our company recover certain regula...

SAN JOSE – The San Jose Sharks can point to a handful of areas that need improvement as they carry a double-digit long losing streak – their second of the season — into Saturday’s game with the Toronto Maple Leafs.Special teams must be at or near the top of that list.The Sharks played the Western Conference-leading Winnipeg Jets even for two-plus periods Thursday before they allowed a power play goal to Gabriel Vilardi early in the third period.
