Watch Foo Fighters debut new song ‘Shame Shame’ on ‘SNL’
As we have been expecting for a few days now since we became aware of the gorilla marketing in LA, the Foo Fighters debuted a brand new song on last night’s momentous Saturday Night Live on NBC. The track is called ‘Shame Shame’ and it has some very groove-oriented parts at a slower yet methodical pace. As for the lyrics, I can interpret as an inner-dialogue of longing for someone or something.
The Foos confirmed through this big performance it is the first single from their upcoming new album, ‘Medicine At Midnight’ which comes out February 5th. You can stream the SNL performance and the album version here. In the clip above, Dave Grohl shares in the video clip above that the new album will have a very fun vibe to it because they had so much fun recording it.
Here is the audio version that was released today.
In an emotional second performance on SNL last night, this band reminded you again why they are just so special with ‘Times Like These’ It featured an opening build with an undercurrent of an organ from Rami Jaffee simmered underneath Grohl with those raise-the-hair-on-your-arms lyrics. The simplicity of this reinvented take on this modern classic is just wonderful. The whole song is about reinvention and re-discovering who you are, and the song feels really exciting here.

Robot teaches lonely men how to hold hands
2020 may be a hard year for single people. Well, it also got weirder with this video from Japan showing off a robotic hand that is supposed to mimic their feeling off holding someone’s hand. It has warm, reactive sensors, and it swings with the person holding it when walking.

Watch new ‘LEGO Star Wars Holiday Special’ Trailer
Youtube movie guru Chris Stuckman reviews it all with original footage in his his ‘Hilarocity’ series. Beware some NSFW language in the video above.
We are barely past Halloween and the Christmas holiday media blitz has already started. One of the worst things ever in holiday movie or TV special history, has to be the widely-despised ‘Star Wars Holiday Special’ from 1980. It is laughably bad and as you can see in these review shows covering it on YouTube, you will laugh at it. Now enter the new ‘Lego Star Wars Holiday Special’ which based on this trailer looks to be funny on purpose and will have same comedic vibes of the recent Lego Batman movies.
But back to that TV special from back in the day….
It is without a shadow of a doubt, the worst thing to ever have the ‘Star Wars’ name attached to it. No matter what your opinion may be on the sci-fi blockbuster film series which has spawned billions in merchandise and spin-off content but among those faithful to the Force, they all know this thing is the worst. Most SW fans would rather be thrown into the Sarlacc pit if it meant they could avoid a repeat viewing of this ‘show’. George Lucas himself has said publicly that he wished this special was never made or released to the public.
The ‘Star Wars Holiday Special’ aired only once on CBS in November 1978 on the wave of popularity after the first film, and it featured the major stars of the original trilogy including Harrison Ford, Mark Hammil, and Carrie Fisher. It doesn’t appear like these actors are excited to be there, based on their on-screen performances. Fisher sings a song that is dreadfully awkward. Ford performs like he’s waiting in a dentist’s office. And Hammil has a scene where he speaks directly into the camera with his face looking like a Ken doll for some reason.
Milwaukee’s favorite movie maniacs Red Letter Media roasted the SW Holiday Special in this Best of the Worst episode. NSFW language!
And then a parade of C-listers from the late 70’s like Art Carney, Bea Arthur, Jefferson Starship, and Harvey Corman. The real meat of this dumpster fire on television is performed by Wookies. Yep, Chewbaca’s family is the focus of this special while they just speak to each other in an unintelligible language without subtitles. They then pitched to various segments that all involve someone looking at a screen, so a lot of people basically Skype with each other in costumes.
The overall story is pretty thin as Chewbacca is trying to make it back to his home planet for outer-space Chrismtas which is called “Life Day” with the Empire chasing after Han Solo and him in the Millennium Falcon. Then from there, it’s just this all-over-the-place mash-up of weird cameo scenes, spliced-in footage from the actual movie, cringe-worthy comedy, and songs that sound like they were not good enough for a way-off-Broadway musical. The only worthwhile piece from this might be the first appearance of Boba Fett, the bounty hunter who helped bring in Han Solo in the films and has grown to have his own dedicated fan base within the SW universe. He appears in a brief animated segment.
If you want to punish yourself with this special, beware.,,,, watch it here
Is there a creed reunion on the way???
I don’t know if anyone at all was asking for it, or really wanted it, but there may be a Creed reunion on the way!
Ex-drummer Scott Phillips dropped this on an interview…
Admit it… You’d go see a Creed reunion show.
There’s no shame in it!

Check out this dumpster fire
What a terribly smelly accident.

I’ve heard of dumpster fires but I don’t know if I’ve ever heard about a garbage truck fire.
That street is probably going to smell for the next three months!
Politicians read mean tweets on Jimmy Kimmel
It’s timely to have some politicians read mean comments tweeted at them on live television.
I think we could all use that right now.
I’m sure they’re all used to reading this type of stuff. Still, it’s funny to hear it come out of their own mouths.
There’s a New Whiskey That Tastes Like Deer
If swigging regular whiskey wasn’t MANLY enough for you, now there’s this . . .
A distillery in New Hampshire is releasing a new whiskey later this month that tastes like DEER. Basically, they added venison as they were aging the whiskey to give it a, quote, “savory complement.
They’re also releasing a brandy in December that’s flavored with the CORPSE FLOWER . . . which is one of the worst smelling flowers in the world. They say it adds, quote, “death and decay to the floral notes of the brandy.” Delicious?
(Careful!) But if you can’t wait for deer whiskey out next week or corpse flower brandy next month, they already have one other questionable product for sale: A whiskey flavored with castoreum, which are secretions from beaver anuses. Yep.
Check out their website TamworthDistilling.com if you want to find out more about ordering the liquors once they come out. Seems like the perfect holiday gift for that person in your life who loves interesting alcohol and you also secretly kinda hate.

Foo Fighters teasing ‘X’, Confirmed For SNL with Dave Chapelle
Dave Grohl and the crew, could be teasing a new album based on signage that fans have shared online in and around the Los Angeles area. This would be the Foos 10th album so that might explain the “x” but we do not know much more thant that. You can check out the teases have been popping up that also include images of a burning coffen down below. You can see also quick teaser videos from the band themselves with the hashtag “lpx”.
As if that was not enough good news from the Foo Fighters, we got confirmation the alternative band of bands will be performing this weekend on NBC’s ‘Saturday Night Live’ with comedy legend Dave Chaepelle hosting. It will be interesting if we see the band use this national TV opportunity to play a new song possibly. Two great Daves on one show together, 2020 has some bright spots I guess.
