Marge Simpson has been a pop culture icon since she first appeared on television screens in 1987. But from the looks of things, she might be older than you think. In 2023, archeologists in Egypt revealed several treasures that they'd unearthed, including a 3,000-year-old coffin. When experts opened the casket at a press conference, eagle-eyed viewers noticed a painting of a woman inside the coffin's cover that looked all too familiar.

With a tall blue coif, yellow skin, and a light green dress, the woman looked shockingly like The Simpsons' matriarch. In reality, she's actually the daughter of a high priest in El-Ashmunein, and her name is Tadi Ist. The sarcophagus was discovered in an ancient cemetery in Minya, an Egyptian city on the western bank of the Nile. The cemetery was filled with the tombs of high-ranking officials and priests, and the archeologists were able to excavate numerous treasures.

The cemetery dates back to the 20th Dynasty, the last to rule during Egypt's New Kingdom Period. Stretching from 1189 BCE to 1077 BCE, it was a period when the pharaohs lost enormous power to high priests. The Marge Simpson sarcophagus, while drawing much amusement from commenters on Reddit, is actually quite important.

The portrait of the high priestess is surrounded by 12 depictions of her in different positions. These are representations of the 12 hours, with officials from the Supreme Council of Antiquities stating, “It is a rare and important scene ever. Every scene of the hour has its shape.”

While the Marge Simpson sarcophagus is just one of over 25,000 artifacts found at the site, its discovery has been a fun way to merge popular culture and archeology.

A post shared by Oprah (@oprah)

On June 17, 2024, media mogul Oprah Winfrey shared a heartfelt message of congratulations for Bongeka Zuma on her graduation from Stanford University's Doctor of Medicine program. After becoming a member of the first graduating class of the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy in South Africa, Zuma went on to graduate summa cum laude at Spelman College, earned a master's degree from the University of Oxford and finally, received her doctorate.

In the post, Winfrey shared photos and videos from the ceremony, as well as a touching throwback photo of her hugging Zuma at the student's graduation from her leadership academy in 2007. She also explained why this moment meant so much to her.

“I’ve been to 22 graduations for all my daughter-girls who came from the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy in South Africa to colleges and universities across the United States,” Winfrey said. “This one was extra special… One of the great joys of my life was to see her walk across that stage! Knowing where she’s come from, a small community in KwaZulu-Natal, and how strongly she believed in becoming a doctor. She never gave up, and with a support team of good friends, fellow OWLAG sisters and professors, we all celebrated her achievement with great pride.”

When the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy in South Africa originally opened, it received 3,500 applications from around the country. In the end, it accepted 152 girls, one of whom was Zuma. The program accepts girls in 8-12 grade. According to their website, the academy “strive(s) to raise future leaders who are able to navigate a variety of social and cultural context, and who will remain committed to the development of South Africa, the African continent, and the entire globe.”

Congratulations to Zuma, as well as the former and current students of the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy in South Africa, as they embark on their next journey and set out to become changemakers in their communities.

Over the last couple of years, a British TV show called The Piano has set its sights on finding the next greatest musician by placing pianos in public spaces for anyone to play. Last year, they shared the story of Lucy, a blind and neurodivergent teen who was a proficient player despite her severe autism. Now, they've crowned a new promising pianist. Twenty-two-year-old Brad Kella won the 2024 competition by displaying his extraordinary skills, using the opportunity to also honor those who made it all possible for him.

Kella, who is from a suburb of north Liverpool, was placed in foster care at the age of 7. “I was so confused, I remember hanging on to the railings outside my foster parents, and just didn’t want to go in,” the young musician explained during his first audition performance at Liverpool Lime Street station. He expected to spend only a night with Ev and Frank, but they went on to become his foster parents for over 12 years.

“When I told them about wanting a piano, they were immediately like, ‘yes,’” Kella recalled. “There was a budget for kids in the care system, and Ev put some money in and got me a piano–and from that moment, my whole life changed.” While Kella couldn't read music, and still can't to this day, he taught himself to play the piano. “I used to just sit there for hours and hours, and figured out how different chords made me feel. I don’t read music at all, but each individual piano key just takes me somewhere.”

On top of becoming an extraordinary pianist, he learned a lot about himself and the places he could go through the instrument. “Once I started playing piano, I started feeling this unique feeling about myself,” Kella said. “That I was my own person. I owe it to my foster parents because prior to them, I had no one there who believed I would be capable of doing such a thing as playing piano.”

For the climactic final concert of the talent competition, Kella had to perform an original composition. Aiming to make a tribute to his parents, he wrote a vibrant, poignant piece titled “Ev and Frank.” The foster parents were taken aback when the young pianist revealed the title of his work, and could be seen wiping away tears in the audience during the moving performance.

“I had the best foster parents in the whole world. And they gave me the capability to dream, to believe that anything was actually possible and there’s a stigma with kids in foster care and we genuinely get seen as just a number. I want to show people what a number can do,” Kella said. “Kids in care are literally just treated as a number. We are down in the system as a number. I feel like I could be a voice to kids like that, and I hope I just give them more of a reason to keep trying—trying to achieve their dreams.”

Visual artists have long been inspired by their pets. There's a seemingly endless supply of pet photography and even quirky crafts paying homage to our animal companions. But it turns out, our furry friends can also prompt creatives to write beautiful music—and not just the silly songs you sing to your dog or cat about how much you love them. Noam Oxman is an artist and composer who captures animal personalities in his Sympawnies series, meaning every pet gets a “symphony” of their own.

Oxman draws from a pup's playfulness or a kitty's demeanor and translates it to music. The composer also takes the pet's likeness and makes it part of the sheet music. And so, the sympawnies are both a tribute to their charming appearances and their unique ways of being. To make it even more compelling, Oxman creates arrangements for different instruments, offering a touching, deep sound, and a one-of-a-kind portrait.

The composer's creativity also extends to the titles of his creations. Oxman toys around with classical music concepts and gives them a pet twist. For example, a dog named Lola, inspired a piano “quartail,” while a pooch known as Bashka prompted the composer to write a “Viennese Wolftz.”

If you'd like your furry companion to have its own sympawny composed for them, you can commission your own pet’s musical portrait on Oxman’s website. Not only will you be immortalizing your beloved companion but you would also be supporting animals in need, as the composer has pledged to donate at least 20% of all proceeds to helping feed and give medical treatment to stray cats.

To stay up to date with the artist’s pet-inspired melodies, you can subscribe to Oxman's YouTube channel.

The hip-hop group Wu-Tang Clan has the unique honor of having the most expensive album ever sold. There is only one CD of their studio album titled Once Upon a Time in Shaolin in existence, making it one of the rarest records in the world. But luckily for music connoisseurs and Wu-Tang Clan fans alike, Tasmania’s Museum of Old and New Art (Mona) is set to show the album as part of an exhibit later this year, providing a once-in-a-lifetime listening opportunity.

The coveted album was recorded in Staten Island, New York, and was produced between 2006 and 2013. It features all nine surviving members of the group, as well as vocals from Cher and Game of Thrones actress, Carice van Houten. Once Upon a Time in Shaolin has 31 recorded tracks and comes in an ornate nickel box along with a certificate of authenticity and a leather-bound manuscript with lyrics. Until now, only a handful of people have heard some of the songs, as the album has a legal condition that states it cannot be released for 88 years.

Wu-Tang Clan, which consisted of ten members and started in Staten Island in the 1990s, is a revolutionary group known for their gritty New York City sound that helped shape east coast hip-hop. Their 1993 debut album, titled Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers), is widely considered to be one of the greatest hip-hop albums of all time, and helped inspire many rappers and artists who came after them.

In addition to its musical value, the physical copy of Once Upon a Time in Shaolin itself also has an interesting history. The sole copy of the album was originally bought by former pharmaceutical executive Martin Shkreli for $2 million in 2015, who streamed snippets of the songs online following the 2016 U.S. presidential election. It was then seized by the U.S. Department of Justice in 2021 following Shkreli's conviction for securities fraud, after which it was sold to a group of NFT buyers for $4 million. This group, known as PleasrDAO, are the ones lending the album to Mona.

The museum will offer 30 minute listening sessions to a handful of lucky guests from June 15-24 as part of their Namedropping exhibit. The waitlist has already filled up, but it is worth checking back to see if there are any openings. To read more about the exhibit, check out Mona's website.

Louis Armstrong is one of the most important musicians in the jazz history. With a career that spanned five decades, Armstrong left a mark with his soulful trumpet playing and gravelly voice. In July 1968, Armstrong gave what many consider his last great performance at the BBC studios in London. Unfortunately, some of the recordings were never available to the public—until now. Verve Records has announced a 13-track album titled Louis in London, which includes five unreleased tracks.

In this historical performance, Armstrong appeared alongside his renowned band, The All-Stars. There, he played some of his most popular songs, such as “Hello, Dolly!,” “The Bare Necessities,” and “Mack the Knife.” The show was first broadcast on September 22, 1968. “From the moment Armstrong received a copy of the 1968 London recording, he became determined for the world to hear this music, affixing a note to the outside of the tape box on which he wrote, ‘For The Fan,'” reads a statement from the Verve Records.

The true jewel of this new live album is the list of previously unheard recordings—”You’ll Never Walk Alone,” “(Back Home Again) In Indiana,” “Blueberry Hill,” “Ole Miss,” and “What a Wonderful World.” The last two songs, in particular, have special meaning to Armstrong fans. “Ole Miss,” written by blues composer W.C. Handy, is the first song he’s known to have played in public; whereas, the BBC Studios performance of “What a Wonderful World” took place weeks after his original recording earned the No.1 spot on the UK charts.

“For me it captures the last hurrah,” Ricky Riccardi, director of research collections for the Louis Armstrong House museum, says about the Louis Armstrong BBC Studios performance. “It is Armstrong singing, entertaining and doing it all at a very high level.” It was Riccardi who suggested this title to Verve Recordings when asked about an archival show that could be reissued.

Armstrong was said to be so proud of this performance that he sent copies to friends and played them at home whenever he had guests. “Though he could have chosen any number of remarkable recordings, including his iconic collaborations with Ella Fitzgerald, he instead returned again and again to the BBC session from the summer of 1968,” says Verve Recordings.

Louis in London will be released on July 12, 2024. The performance was also captured in high quality video, showing the joy the legendary musician felt during this time. You can watch his rendition of “Hello, Dolly!” below.

Graduation Day is one of the biggest events in a person's life. As such, it is expected for friends and family of the graduate to be in attendance. While this usually means blood relatives, one lucky young man also had his fictional family in attendance for the monumental occasion. Niles Fitch, star of This is Us, recently graduated from the University of Southern California, and his on-screen dad and sister, Milo Ventimiglia and Hannah Zeile, were there to support him.

Fitch played the teenage version of Randall Pearson—Sterling K. Brown's character—on This is Us. He is adopted at birth by Ventimiglia's Jack and Mandy Moore's Rebecca Pearson, and goes on to work in finance and politics. Alongside his co-stars, Fitch won the Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series category at the Screen Actors Guild awards in 2019. Having appeared in 92 episodes, Fitch developed a deep and unique bond with his cast mates.

The young actor shared an image of him in cap and gown, holding his degree. In a tender gesture, he captioned the image “Dad, I did it,” a dedication to his father Frederick, who died from lupus when Fitch was only 12 years old. The ceremony was also attended by his mother, Nakata, and his younger sister, Leigh.

Since his beloved TV family couldn't miss this important day, and showed up too, they marked the moment with some photos, offering fans a bit of a cast reunion. Both Fitch and Zeile shared some images of the three of them together, with Ventimiglia and Zeile standing proudly beside the graduate. Fitch was also congratulated on Instagram by Moore and Brown, who respectively wrote, “Go Niles! Unbelievable” and “My dude!!! Way to go, young man!!!!”

The song of the summer seems to be out, and it’s not a new Taylor Swift or Dua Lipa track. Instead, it’s a song by a bunch of Irish kids who have encountered overnight success. The track is titled “The Spark,” and was created by Rhyme Island, a youth rap project based at the not-for-profit Kabin Studio in Cork. Against all odds, it has now gone viral, amassing millions of views from now-adoring fans around the globe.

“The Spark” is written and performed by a group of 30 kids from ages 9 to 12. Some of them are from the neighborhood of Knocknaheeny, where the studio is located, while others live in refugee accommodation in Lisdoonvarna. Prompted by Rhyme Island, the children developed the chorus and first verse during an Easter camp. Once that was ready, it was taken to the other group in the asylum seeking center, who helped complete it.

“We were looking to work with something upbeat and put on a drum’n’bass track. We found the beat and started coming up with chant and chorus ideas,” producer Garry McCarthy told The Guardian.

The kids later came together to shoot the video, which was filmed by Seán Downey, a tutor who uses the name SwanIGuess. In the clip, they can be seen dancing in the studio and around Cork while they sing the infectious chorus. “Think you can stop what we do?” asks the opening lyric. “I doubt it,” the performers declare. “We got the energy/We’ll tell you all about it/I searched for my spark/And I found it.”

Soon, RTÉ, Ireland's national broadcaster, shared the video, taking the internet by storm. On top of the attention it has attracted, “The Spark” has become the anthem for Cruinniú na nÓg (Gathering of Youth), a massive event featuring hundreds of free creative activities for children and teenagers across Ireland, taking place on June 15.

McCarthy explained that Rhyme Island puts out new songs out every week—this one just happened to go very far. They are not doing it for the money either; should this track earn some revenue, they want it to support the studio and the refugee kids. “The response has been amazing,” McCarthy says. “The kids’ energy and positivity has inspired people. It’s a really catchy song.”

A group of 30 Irish kids—including some in refugee centers—have written and performed a song called “The Spark,” and it’s poised to become the song of the summer.

Musicians have a special bond with their instrument, and one musician named Bernth definitely has a connection to all of his unique guitars that he’s built himself. Going the extra mile with some design experiments, he often alters his instruments to achieve new sounds. But nothing compares to one of his latest ventures. The musician recently built a 109-string acoustic guitar—a mammoth of a contraption that belongs both in a museum and the concert halls of the world.

Bernth's 109-string guitar is so complex that it evokes a harp, allowing him to build on sounds but playing each separate “guitar” on this behemoth individually and even with their own effects. The musician created this massive instrument to perform a song he wrote titled “I Still Miss You,” an epic-sounding, layered ballad that otherwise would likely require multiple musicians or different recording tracks to achieve.

“I can use one hand for rhythm and the other for solos,” Bernth explains in the video. “The harps are all tuned differently, resulting in interesting chords.” Of course, building it wasn't the only complicated part. “It took an entire day to tune this new instrument and even longer to actually figure out how to play it. But at one point it just clicked and I just wrote this song for it.” The musician shares that the song is about the pain of missing someone you care about, a feeling signaled by the urgency of the track. “This bittersweet feeling resulted in hauntingly beautiful melodies,” he says.

While this is arguably the most outlandish of his experiments, Bernth has also filled his guitar with water, replaced the strings with rubber bands, and drilled holes in the body of a guitar to get new sounds. To stay up to date with his inventions, you can subscribe to Bernth’s YouTube channel.

Musician Bernth recently built a 109-string acoustic guitar; but long before that, he made a 21-string guitar.

And a 24-string acoustic guitar.

Bernth is absolutely no stranger to thinking outside the box and developing unusual instruments to make music with.
