Panic! At the Disco’s Brendon Urie Is the Life of the Party in ‘Sugar Soaker’ Music Video
Panic! At the Disco unveiled the music video for their new song “Sugar Soaker” on Tuesday (Aug. 23) and, well, it’s an absolute rager. In the clip for the infectious track, Brendon Urie heads to a retro house party straight out of the ’70s. Clad in a jean jacket and retro graphic tee, the frontman wails, “Little sugar soaker/ Breakin’ my bed/ Red tail lights in the back of her head/ Such a cherry leather looker/ Drive her till I’m dead/ Little sugar soaker/ C’mon, c’mon, c’mon, c’mon, yeah!” as the alcohol flows and he freely imbibes. As Urie makes the rounds, the party is littered with famous faces, including Fall Out Boy‘s Pete Wentz (sporting long bleach blond locks!), Betty Who, Butch Walker, Jake Wesley Rogers, his Panic! bandmates, and Leah Adler, who reprises her role as Maggie from...
Eddie Vedder Shares Heartfelt Cover of Joe Strummer’s “Long Shadow”: Stream
Eddie Vedder is celebrating the birthday of his late friend Joe Strummer with a cover of “Long Shadow.” The song originally appeared on 2003’s Streetcore, a posthumous album the Clash singer recorded with his band The Mescaleros. Vedder can be heard singing “Long Shadow” in a video produced and directed by Lance Bangs. It feels like an especially appropriate setup for honoring a friend who’s passed away, as the Pearl Jam frontman plays his acoustic guitar by a crackling firepit — perhaps a nod to Strummer’s Fender Campfire? It’s also certainly not a coincidence that the cover has arrived just in time for what would be Strummer’s 70th birthday, which is August 21st. “I just think that what Joe did with the Mescaleros and those records, and those songs, and those words, it was a ve...

Frances Bean Cobain Turns 30 Years Old, Reflects on Near-Death Experience
Frances Bean Cobain, the daughter of Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love, is celebrating her 30th birthday today, August 18th. In an Instagram post reflecting on the milestone, Cobain opened up about how a mid-air incident during a 2017 flight led to a change in her perspective over the past several years. “I made it! Honestly, 20 year old Frances wasn’t sure that was going to happen,” Cobain wrote. “At the time, an intrinsic sense of deep self loathing dictated by insecurity, destructive coping mechanisms & more trauma than my body or brain knew how to handle, informed how I saw myself and the world; through a lens of resentment for being brought into a life that seemingly attracted so much chaos and the kind of pain tied to grief that felt inescapable.” She continued, “Then,...
