Boston Red Sox Shout Along to Robyn’s “Dancing on My Own” to Celebrate Playoff Win: Watch
After center fielder Kiké Hernández launched the Boston Red Sox into the ALCS on Monday night with a walk-off sac fly, the team celebrated their victory over the Tampa Bay Rays with a beer and champagne-soaked shout-along to Robyn’s classic 2010 pop song “Dancing on My Own.” Ok, so it wasn’t technically Robyn’s version. Via Vanyaland, the Sox were losing their minds to the Tiësto remix of Calum Scott’s cover of “Dancing on My Own” — which happens to be backup catcher Kevin Plawecki’s walkup song. And you know what? That’s just fine. If Boston wins two more playoff series and hoists the World Series Commissioner’s Trophy, only then will they deserve the real thing. In the meantime, enjoy the contact buzz of watching a locker room full of beefy dudes scream “I’m in the corner watch...

Tim McGraw Jumps Off Stage and Confronts Hecklers After Forgetting Lyrics, Getting Booed: Watch
“Just to See You Smile” reigned atop the country charts for 42 weeks between 1997 and 1998, and Tim McGraw has performed it hundreds of times. It’s one of the 54-year-old’s signature songs, but on Saturday night at the Nugget Event Center in Reno, Nevada, McGraw forgot about half the words. Footage obtained by TMZ reveals the pause-filled performance, as well as scattered booing. McGraw responded by jumping into the crowd to confront some of the jeering fans. “Why are you doing that?” McGraw demands in one of the videos.

Later, McGraw explained to the audience that he was struggling with exhaustion. “I don’t know how many of y’all know this, but we’re shooting a film, [Yellowstone prequel] 1...
Ozzy Osbourne Credits “Being a Devil Worshipper” with Helping to Ward Off COVID-19
Ozzy Osbourne says that “being a devil worshipper” has helped him ward off COVID-19 in a humorous new statement. The Prince of Darkness jokingly pointed to all the times he’s been accused of Satanism over the years when asked how the pandemic has affected him and his family. “My wife had the virus; my daughter had the virus and I never got it,” Ozzy quipped to Metal Hammer. “Being a devil worshipper does have its good points!” Advertisement Related Video Taking a more serious tone, Osbourne reflected on the major health issues he’s had to face while simultaneously navigating the pandemic.

Jeff Tweedy Shares “C’mon America” and “UR-60 Unsent” for Sub Pop Singles Club: Stream
Jeff Tweedy has shared a pair of solo tracks for Sub Pop Singles Club. “C’mon America” and “UR-60 Unsent” make up the latest 7-inch released from the subscription-only series. “C’mon America,” the A-side, is described in a press release as from an “unreleased group of songs with mostly sci-fi lyrics,” while “UR-60 Unsent,” the B-side, is billed as “a pitiful tale of an unsent lovesick mixtape, taken from a separate batch of unreleased songs with mostly pitiful lyrics.” On the twangy and sarcastic “C’mon America,” Tweedy asks, “what you gonna do now that the world is turned against you”? In contrast, “UR-60 Unsent” is a melancholy ballad full of heartsick lyrics about rejection. Stream both tracks below.

Bon Iver Share Previously Unreleased Versions of “Beth/Rest” and “Babys”: Stream
Bon Iver will celebrate the 10th anniversary of their self-titled sophomore album with a deluxe reissue of the Grammy-winning LP. The bonus material is pulled from Justin Vernon and Sean Carey’s 2011 4AD/Jagjaguwar Sessions at AIR Studios, and the band has today shared two of those tracks: “Beth/Rest” and “Babys.” The AIR Studios sessions saw the Bon Iver members stripping back the layered sounds of Bon Iver, Bon Iver and restructuring them for piano. Thus, that glorious ’80s melodrama of the album version of “Beth/Rest” becomes a more grounded and cooler drama. Meanwhile, “Babys,” a cut from Bon Iver’s 2009 Blood Bank EP, is already based on keys; here, however, Vernon and Carey slow the tempo down a tick, allowing the song’s emotionality to settle in. Take a listen to both trac...

Judas Priest’s Rob Halford “Still Shook Up” by Richie Faulkner’s Heart Emergency
Judas Priest singer Rob Halford is “still shook up, emotionally” after witnessing guitarist Richie Faulkner being rushed to a hospital for what turned out to be life-saving emergency heart surgery.

James Blake Reunites with slowthai for “Funeral” Remix: Stream
James Blake has recruited slowthai for a remix of “Funeral,” a track from Blake’s newly released fifth studio album, Friends That Break Your Heart. In this new version, Blake’s second verse is substituted with a restrained feature from the UK rapper. “I never been one for horror movies,” slowthai spits. “I fall asleep under your tongue, I hope you choose me/ The shadow silhouetting the sun, I’m glued to your feet/ I live in the shadows of, mmm, under the loose leaves.” Otherwise, the remix remains largely unchanged from the original. To accompany the reworked track, Blake shared a black-and-white music video capturing the somber tone of “Funeral.” Watch the full clip below ahead of the duo’s debut performance of the song on the episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon airing on Mo...
