Wild One: Bonniesongs - Strangest Feeling
Love and whimsy collide in interstellar greenscreen fashion for this week's Wild One, 'Strangest Feeling', from Irish-born, Eora-based songwriter Bonniesongs. In a music video for what Bonniesongs (a.k.a. Bonnie Stewart to her friends and fam!) has described as perhaps her 'only classic love song', dreams of flying through space (literally, the fabric of the cosmos) have been fully realised with the help of a tiny skeleton crew. Co-directed by Bonnie herself along with filmmaker Nick McKinlay (plus a special shoutout to cameraman Mike Ridley!), the filming process consisted of various green-screen shenanigans and a whole lot of fun. 'I always wanna have a little bit of silly and fun in my music videos' says Bonnie. 'We wanted to make a love story between me and my friend's beloved Frankenstein-esque doll. The doll was handcrafted by an artist called Hj Huwman. He has become a bit of an easter egg, visiting a couple of my videos over the years.' DIY attitudes and teamwork have undoubtedly brought this project together, but that's not to say there weren't a few hiccups along the way! 'Mike followed me around with the green screen, he couldn't see where he was going at all and was trying to anticipate my movements, which led to a few crashes' says Bonnie. 'Other funny moments included running down the hill screaming wrapped in green screen and scaring all the dogs in the park; Mike's feet popping out from behind the green curtain walking down the street; Nick filming from the boot of a moving car with me scooting behind; Mike lifting me up into the tree to get the feet hovering shot!'Nick adds 'it's obvious I'm not very good at green screen but hopefully the intent and Bonnie's glee when throwing around this doll transcends the technical shortcomings! My fave bit is when Bonnie is flying around space. I want to release that raw footage because it's basically her just writhing on the ground with a fan in her face."

Feature Video: Dylan Atlantis ft. FRIDAY* - Thought You'd Know By Now
Western Sydney collaborators Dylan Atlantis and FRIDAY* pull up, sunflowers in hand, to remind us that feelings can get dangerous in this week's Feature Video 'Thought You'd Know By Now'. Directed by Have You Stopped Growing's Rejjie Fanning and Ariel Riley, the clip for 'Thought You'd Know By Now' depicts a collage of vignettes which centre figuratively around the premise and feeling of being at the end of a relationship. 'This song is an ode to reluctantly letting go' Dylan explains. 'The music video shows that through certain shots such as ice melting, it's the slow deterioration of something that used to be solid. My verse also dives into that feeling of reluctancy, and explains the willingness to protect oneself even though it's a painful healing process.' Melting ice, overwatered plants, squashed fruit and burnt down cigarettes. Directors Rejjie and Ariel explain 'Almost every shot is an allusion to a relationship deteriorating, but we used Australiana as the setting. Also it's pretty funny that we actually got 170 peaches for that scene in the car park. It was so hot that day they were actually cooking on the road!' FRIDAY* (a.k.a. Fabian Odame) adds that his verse on the track is only a few lines 'because I'm laying down the situation down as plainly as possible, with barely any metaphor or simile. I wanted to depict the blunt reality of listening to your head instead of your heart, for the sake of self preservation. I'm a big fan of contrast so I love how the lyrics sound paired with the bright, off the wall, semi surreal visuals of the music video.' If you didn't know by now… well, now you do.

Wednesday Return With ‘Elderberry Wine,' a Love Song About Finding That ‘Delicate Balance'
It's only fitting that Wednesday returns on a Wednesday. The indie rockers are back with the new single 'Elderberry Wine.' The track opens with Karly Hartzman's razor-sharp lines ('Aint heard that voice in a long time/Had to check back there to make sure you were alive'), with MJ Lenderman on backing vocals and guitar. Xandy Chelmis rounds it out with cozy lap steel, making it a warm welcome back for the band. More from Rolling Stone the Beaches, Wet Leg, MJ Lenderman to Headline Rolling Stone's Rock & Roll Tour 'Wednesday' Returns to the Scene of the Crime in Season 2 Teaser Jenna Ortega Left 'Scream 7' Because It Was 'Falling Apart' After Melissa Barrera Was Fired ''Elderberry Wine' is about the potential for sweet things in life (love, family, success) to become poison if not prepared for and attended to correctly,' Hartzman explains. 'Elderberry is known as a healing fruit, and is an ingredient in many tonics and syrups to aid the immune system. One time, however, my sister consumed them raw and it immediately induced vomiting. So 'Elderberry Wine' is ultimately a love song about creating just the right environment for fulfillment. There's a delicate balance that needs to be created, especially in love, for two lives to intersect without poisoning each other.' The video above opens with a man driving to a bar, where Hartzman is serving drinks. He's eagerly watching a horse race, until Hartzman changes the channel to the band performing the single, resulting in him mouthing, 'What the fuck?' According to director Spencer Kelly, the video was shot at the Bench in Greensboro, North Carolina, the city's second-oldest bar. 'We came in with some specific scripted scenes, but we wanted to capture the bar as authentically as possible, so everyone you see in the video is a regular, including Karly's dad, George,' he said in a statement. 'This video is a bit of a love letter to places like this, where the sense of community runs deep and the beers are always cold.' 'Elderberry Wine' marks Wednesday's first new music since their 2023 breakthrough album Rat Saw God. The band (Hartzman, Lenderman, Chelmis, Alan Miller, and Ethan Baechtold) will perform the single this evening on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, making their television debut. Wednesday will hit two festivals this year: Project Pabst on the weekend of July 26 and Best Friends Forever on the weekend of Oct. 10. But amid his massive solo success with his recent LP Manning Fireworks, Lenderman will no longer be touring with the band. He told GQ that his last show with them was on Jan. 4 in Chiba, Japan; he and Hartzman broke up during that tour. In that same interview, Hartzman spoke about the band's new music, recorded after her split with Lenderman. 'I was numb during those sessions. I had to be,' she said. '[Lenderman] and I had written so many songs about each other and our relationship over the years, including these, and I just needed to get them out.'

Miley Cyrus' 'brutal infection' has doctors discussing possible causes
After filming a music video on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Miley Cyrus said she was recently hospitalized with a knee infection, prompting doctors to weigh in on how certain environments can expose people to harmful bacteria. On a Thursday episode of "Jimmy Kimmel Live," Cyrus, 32, recalled the moment she filmed her "Something Beautiful" visual album and then landed in the ICU. "I filmed this video in October [2024] by November at Thanksgiving, I was put in the ICU for a moment — just for a moment," the singer said. Cyrus described rolling on the sidewalk as part of her shoot, and shortly after, she developed symptoms that required intensive medical attention. "I caught something," she remarked. "My leg began to disintegrate ... around the kneecap area. And then the doctor goes, 'Do you have any idea why you would have such a brutal infection on your kneecap?'" While the singer did not disclose a specific diagnosis, medical experts say her case is a reminder of how everyday public spaces can present hidden health hazards. "Strep or staph bacteria are common causes of skin infection like cellulitis." Dr. Marc Siegel, clinical professor of medicine at NYU Langone Medical Center and Fox News senior medical analyst, noted that extremely aggressive bacteria are not common in urban settings. "Flesh-eating bacteria on city streets is very rare," Siegel, who did not treat Cyrus, told Fox News Digital. "Rat urine can cause leptospirosis, a bacteria that causes flu-like symptoms." The doctor said he believes the likely cause was a more typical bacterial infection rather than something exotic, although common bacteria can cause serious skin reactions. "Strep or staph bacteria are common causes of skin infection like cellulitis," said Siegel. "Bacteria can be found [on streets], like E. coli, shigella and enterococci, which are from fecal matter, and may get onto the bottoms of shoes," he added. These infections do not typically originate from the street itself, the doctor said, but can develop when skin comes in contact with bacteria, which can happen during close exposure to surfaces like sidewalks. The risk of infection often increases when the skin is broken or irritated, allowing bacteria to enter the body more easily. Even minor cuts and scrapes can become gateways for infection when exposed to contaminated surfaces, according to Dr. Ken Perry, an emergency medicine physician in Charleston, South Carolina. "For most patients, these infections are contracted from open wounds in the skin or some other breach in the skin barrier," Perry, who also did not treat Cyrus, told Fox News Digital. Such infections are usually easily treated with common antibiotics, according to the doctor. Cyrus' shoot put her in close contact with one of the busiest sidewalks in the country, which doctors say can heighten the danger. "In the case of Miley Cyrus, she states that she contracted this after rolling around on the ground during the filming of her music video," said Perry. "The foot traffic could easily contaminate the area with bacteria from animal or even human sources," he hypothesized. "For the majority of the population, rolling around on the Hollywood Walk of Fame is not common behavior, but even casual interaction could put an individual in contact with harmful bacteria," Perry added. Doctors agree that basic hygiene is one of the best ways to avoid infection, especially in public spaces. "The best way to keep this from happening is to be fastidious with hygiene," said Perry. "We know to wash our hands after being in public to keep from possibly transferring bacteria to the mucus membranes of our eyes, or even ingesting bacteria." Experts recommend covering wounds and washing them as soon as possible if exposed to public environments. "If the cut or scrape occurs while out in public, make sure to wash with soap and water," Perry advised. "If an individual has a cut or some break in the skin, it is best to keep it covered, especially when out in public."
