For our latest episode of Consequence Uncut, we join electro-funk duo Chromeo as they select 10 essential funk albums that emerged from Dayton, Ohio's legendary music scene in the '70s and '80s. In a Crate Digging interview with Consequence's Associate Editor Paolo Ragusa, Chromeo's Dave 1 and P-Thugg track the evolution of Dayton's funk output, from the "bizarro Parliament Funkadelic" group The Ohio Players, to Slave, to the legendary work of Roger Troutman and Zapp.

Creating a sequel to the Oscar-winning Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse was no small feat. However, the directorial trio of Joaquim Dos Santos, Kemp Powers, and Justin K.Thompson created a synergy that is already having audiences beg for more. Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is simply the most visually stunning and action-packed superhero film of the year -- if not in years -- while also managing to create an intense story with emotional depth. Thus, it makes sense that these three are Consequence's 2023 Filmmakers of the Year -- but they aren't the only ones who deserve credit.

Editorial Director Ben Kaye chatted with Dos Santos, Powers, and Thompson about how it took three directors and over 1,000 crew members to make this epic entry in the Spider-Man canon, AI, and sequel rumors. Take a listen for all this and more on this latest episode of Consequence UNCUT, and read the full story on Consequence.

In 2023, Dave Grohl, Nate Mendel, Pat Smear, Chris Shiflett, and Rami Jaffee pushed the power of rock to its absolute limit -- they had to. After facing new levels of hardship, Foo Fighters would have been fully justified in unplugging their amps and calling it a career. No one could have blamed them, but how un-Foo of a decision that would have been. Through any conflict, setback, or tragedy, the band has always found a way to rise from the ashes; of course, they’d find a way to do it again. On this episode of Consequence UNCUT, Editorial Coordinator Jonah Kruger shares a conversation that he had The Breeders’ Josephine Wiggs, Kelley Deal, and Jim Macpherson recall their experiences from touring with The Foo Fighters during 2023, what it has been like knowing The Foo Fighters from the beginning, and what makes Dave Grohl such a testament to rock.
