Beck Says That Paul McCartney’s Dance Moves Inspired Remix of ‘Find My Way’
Imagine walking into a West Hollywood club and seeing Paul McCartney and wife Nancy tearing it up on the dance floor while indie icon Beck watched? Well, it happened, and Beck, more-than-impressed with Macca’s fancy footwork, channeled that evening as inspiration for a remix of McCartney’s “Find My Way (Feat. Beck)” track. “I remember hanging out with Paul and his wife Nancy several years ago and Nancy mentioned that she wanted to go out dancing before calling it a night,” Beck recalls. “We ended up at some club in West Hollywood and I remember noticing that Paul and Nancy were TEARING IT UP – really enjoying themselves more than anyone else on the dance floor.” <!– // Brid Player Singles. var _bp = _bp||[]; _bp.push({ “div”: “Brid_10143537”, R...
The Offspring Relive Through the Horrors of the Past Year in ‘Let the Bad Times Roll’ Video
Following The Offspring’s announcement last month that the ’90s punk are releasing their first full-length album in nearly a decade, the Orange County-based band sharing a video for the quippy title track, “Let The Bad Times Roll.” The clip features several bored adolescents being attacked by their own technology, wronged by their medication, and talked to by inanimate objects throughout the house. The coronavirus even becomes animated and attacks in the funny-creepy clip. In true punk rock style, the title and tune are of course meant to mock the lighthearted saying “let the good times roll.” <!– // Brid Player Singles. var _bp = _bp||[]; _bp.push({ “div”: “Brid_10143537”, “obj”: {“id”:”25115″,”width”:”...

The whole thing was orchestrated by Ja Rule and his business partner Billy McFarland, who’s currently serving a six-year prison sentence on multiple counts of fraud. The 45-year-old rapper managed to get his name cleared from the massive lawsuit, and now he’s trying to get rid of the tangible reminders of the calamity that’s since been the subject of two docume...
