Jason Lytle on The Sophtware Slump turning 20 and Grandaddy’s End
Of the many things Jason Lytle hadn’t counted on doing in this bizarre year, talking about an album of his that turns 20 was certainly one of them. But here we are, discussing Grandaddy’s second album, The Sophtware Slump, one of the most acclaimed albums of 2000 and to most of the band’s fans, their finest work. “The fact that it’s even happening and there’s enough interest in it is pretty cool,” Lytle tells SPIN. “You couldn’t have gotten me to predict 20 years ago that I would be sitting here talking about it. It’s flattering, satisfying and cool anyone even gives a shit. But there is so much uncertainty. I didn’t know that album was going to stand the test of time.” Grandaddy are set to release a lavish, 20th-anniversary box set containing a remastered version of The Sophtware Sl...
Star-Studded BBC Charity Single ‘Stop Crying Your Heart Out’ Is Racing to No. 1 In U.K.
One of the most star-stacked pop songs of the year — or any year — is on track for the U.K. No. 1. The likes of Cher, Kylie Minogue, Robbie Williams, Mel C, Bryan Adams, Lenny Kravitz and Nile Rodgers performed on the BBC Children In Need single “Stop Crying Your Heart Out,” an Oasis cover which dropped last Friday (Nov. 13).

New Order’s Bernard Sumner Is Recovering From COVID-19
Add Bernard Sumner to the list of artists who’ve contracted the novel coronavirus. Speaking with The Current’s Jill Riley, the New Order frontman revealed he caught COVID-19 from a colleague in the past month. “I’m just recovering from coronavirus actually,” he explained. The illness rendered his voice “gruff,” and he can’t smell anything, but Sumner counts himself as “one of the lucky ones. I didn’t get it too bad. I’m ok. Walking the interviewer though the symptoms (“I had a little bit of a temperature, but not much”), Sumner experienced relief for four days, then the issues returned. “When it came back, it was more severe, but still not too bad. I just felt extreme fatigue, like a really bad hangover. And then it went away, and I’m okay.” Sumner is on...
Jack Black Strips Down to a Speedo For Wet and Wild ‘WAP’ Dance
Jack Black is not one to shrink from a challenge and when someone dared him to do Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion’s sensual “WAP” dance, he, of course, stripped down to his Speedo and let it rip. But, like, in the most Jack Black way. The actor and physical comedian par excellence one-upped Jennifer Lopez, Jason Derulo and the other stars who’ve tried their hand at the “WAP” moves with an eye-popping clip in which he high-kicks, twerks and pulls off some impressive acrobatic moves on the ground as someone off camera douses him with water from a hose. The comments from his friends and admirers were just as hilarious. “Get it!!!” said pal Robert Downey Jr., while Jeremy Renner added “Nothing but love for ya brother.” Public Enemy ga...

AC/DC’s ‘Power Up’ Could Top U.S. Album Chart Next Week
According to Hits Daily Double, AC/DC‘s comeback album, “Power Up”, is expected to shift between 105,000 and 115,000 equivalent album units in the United States in its first week of release.
