Yungblud to unveil “surprise” at London event Tuesday

November 29, 2021 by WDNY Radio

If you’re a Yungblud fan in London, you may want to clear your schedule for Tuesday afternoon.

In an Instagram post, the “Fleabag” rocker announces that he’s planning to unveil a “surprise” at Camden Market tomorrow, November 30.

“Meet me at Camden Market 3 pm tomorrow,” Yungblud teases. “I have a surprise.”

Yungblud didn’t reveal any more info about what the surprise may be, but then again, it wouldn’t be much of a surprise if he did. Perhaps it has to do with his recently announced Mars project, a short film named after his song of the same name.

For any stateside Yungblud fans, you can catch the U.K. artist in person on his upcoming U.S. tour, kicking off January 2022.

November 29, 2021 by WDNY Radio

In addition to being a musician, Bryan Adams is also a noted photographer. On Monday, he unveiled his latest work: the 2022 edition of the legendary Pirelli calendar, which in the past has been shot by such legendary photographers as Richard Avedon, Helmut Newton and Annie Liebovitz. Unfortunately, Bryan had to participate in the event in Milan, Italy virtually, because he’s battling COVID for the second time in a month.

On Instagram, Adams revealed that he’d been hospitalized when he arrived in Italy, and wrote, “I was symptomatic even though I had been vaccinated but I’m on the mend now.”

During the calendar launch event, Bryan said he was “O.K.,” but still had “some of the residual COVID bug.” He added, “I should be O.K. in a couple of days, I hope.”

As for the calendar, it’s titled On the Road, and it was photographed in L.A., Capri and Canada last summer. Among the artists who Bryan shot for the calendar: Cher, Jennifer Hudson, St. Vincent, Iggy Pop, Grimes, rapper Saweetie, pop stars Normani and Rita Ora, and Latin star Kali Uchis.

Bryan previously tested positive for COVID at the end of October, which required him to drop out of a planned tribute to Tina Turner at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

The series, which the late actor produced and hosted before his passing in September, follows the “complex underworld” of illegal markets and the people who operate them. A trailer for season two debuted Monday.

“Black Market is a testament to Michael K. Williams’ dedication to criminal justice reform and social justice,” Jesse Angelo, President, Global News and Entertainment, VICE Media Group, says in a statement.

“Michael was a longtime friend of our VICE family and shared our belief in having all voices be heard- especially those in marginalized communities. Michael’s mission was to lift those voices up and we are honored to share this collection of new episodes.”

The new season debuts January 10 at 10 p.m. ET/PT.

Williams, best known for his roles in The Wire, Boardwalk Empire and Lovecraft Country, passed away from an accidental overdose on September 6. He was 54.

November 29, 2021 by WDNY Radio

Train has been a little quiet on social media lately, even though they have a new record coming out shortly.

Taking to Instagram, frontman Pat Monahan explained the social media hiatus. “I had my arm fixed the other day, so I’m kinda [loopy,]” he revealed, but declined to explain further on that. Although, he did hint he’s already on the mend when talking about snowball fights and said he’d “love to be a part of” them.

He also plugged the band’s new holiday movie, Christmas In Tahoe, which premiered Sunday on the Hallmark Channel. Pat stars in and executive produced the flick, which celebrates Train’s first full-length holiday album of the same name that they released in 2015.

Pat signed off by casually reminding fans, “We’ll have a new record for you after the new year,” which is the upcoming Welcome to the Planet that is due out January 28, 2022. So far, no tour has been announced but the singer hinted that may change soon.

The Grammy winner captioned the video announcement, “Hi guys. Miss you all. Hope to see you soon. Happy Hanukkah and thanks for all the love.”

Dave Grohl & Greg Kurstin cover Ramones’ “Blitzkrieg Bop” for ‘Hanukkah Sessions’ night two

November 29, 2021 by WDNY Radio

Dave Grohl and Greg Kurstin‘s Hanukkah Sessions series continues on night two of the Jewish holiday with a cover of the Ramones classic “Blitzkrieg Bop.”

In contrast with their night one black metal rendition of Lisa Loeb’s “Stay (I Missed You),” the Foo Fighters frontman and the producer stay pretty much note-for-note true to the original punk staple, though they do change the iconic “Hey ho/Let’s go!” chant to a more holiday-appropriate “Hey oy/Let’s goy!”

“Once upon a time, two nice Jewish boys from Queens named Jeffery Hyman and Thomas Erdelyi changed the world forever with their music…as Joey and Tommy Ramone!” Grohl says.

You can watch the “Blitzkrieg Bop” cover streaming now on YouTube.

Grohl and Kurstin first launched Hanukkah Sessions in 2020, and covered songs by eight different Jewish artists to celebrate each night of the holiday: Beastie Boys, Drake, Mountain, Peaches, Bob Dylan, Elastica, The Knack and The Velvet Underground.

1973 Who concert streaming this weekend in memory of Riverfront Coliseum victims

November 29, 2021 by WDNY Radio

On December 3, 1979, 11 young people lost their lives in a stampede as fans rushed the doors of a Who concert at the Riverfront Coliseum in Cincinnati, Ohio. This weekend, a 1973 Who concert will be streamed online to raise funds in memory of three of those 11 victims.

The 12th annual P.E.M. Memorial event — named after victims Stephan Preston, Jackie Eckerle and Karen Morrison — will help to fund three annual scholarships for graduating seniors from the victims’ alma mater, Finneytown High School. The scholarships will go to students who plan to major or minor in music or the arts.

The livestream event starts December 4 at 6:15pm ET, and includes the Who’s March 1973 show at Voorburg, Netherlands, which has never been seen before. It’ll be followed by a concert by the high school’s Alumni Band.

Visit PemMemorial.org to access the livestream. You can also donate at that link, or visit The Who’s official website for more information on how to donate.

The tragedy at the recent Astroworld festival in Houston — which left 10 people dead — has been compared by many to the Who concert tragedy. After those 1979 deaths, festival-style seating was banned at concerts, but has since returned at many venues, and at music festivals like Astroworld.

Miley Cyrus to ring in 2022 alongside Pete Davidson in NBC’s New Year’s Eve special

November 29, 2021 by WDNY Radio

Miley Cyrus locked in her New Year’s Eve plans and will ring in 2022 alongside Saturday Night Live star Pete Davidson on NBC.

Rumors of the television event first surfaced in September, when Vulture reported Miley was cooking something up with SNL head honcho Lorne Michaels. NBC confirmed the reports on Monday in a press release.

The event, titled Miley’s New Year’s Eve Party Hosted By Miley Cyrus and Pete Davidson, will be an all-out bash featuring “a star-studded lineup of special guests and musical performances” that will make NBC’s New Year’s countdown “a must watch evening.”

Details about who else will be joining Miley and Pete from Miami, Florida, are closely under wraps. As previously reported, this also means that Miley is taking the reins from Carson Daly, who’s hosted NBC’s New Year’s Eve telecast since 2004.

The special, which Lorne will executive produce, airs Friday, December 31, at 10:30 p.m. ET on NBC and the Peacock streaming service.

Adele’s “Easy On Me” is back to being the #1 song in America

November 29, 2021 by WDNY Radio

Following the resounding success of her best-selling album 30, Adele‘s “Easy On Me” has recaptured the number one spot on the Billboard Hot 100. Not only that, a new song of hers has debuted in the top five — “Oh My God,” which is in fifth place on the chart.

“Easy On Me” not only leads the Hot 100 for a fifth non-consecutive week, it’s also the most-streamed song and the most-played song on the radio this week. No other song has done that since 2017 when Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee’s “Despacito” collaboration with Justin Bieber ruled the Hot 100, Streaming Songs and Radio Songs charts.

Adele also notched another feat. With both “Easy On Me” and “Oh My God” taking residence in the Hot 100’s top five, this marks the second time since Adele had two top five simultaneous hits. The last time this happened was in 2012, when “Set Fire to the Rain” and “Rolling in the Deep” rocked the charts.

30, which is the singer’s fourth studio album, was released on November 20. It not only shot to the top of the Billboard 200 albums chart, it also is the best-selling album of 2021 after 692,000 copies flew off the shelves in its first week of release.
