Entering Week 13 of the 2022 NFL season, there’s still a long way to go before we know which two teams will fight for the Lombardi Trophy in Super Bowl LVII at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. But we’ve known since September that Rihanna is making her triumphant musical return as the Super Bowl halftime performer — there might even be a documentary — and, today (November 30), we learned the exciting lineup for the fourth annual Bud Light Super Bowl Music Fest.
The Bud Light Super Bowl Music Fest will get fans ready for the big game on Sunday, February 12, 2023.
Paramore is taking a page out of Rihanna’s book and making their comeback Super Bowl-adjacent. The beloved band will kick off the three-day Music Fest on Thursday, February 9 — one day before the release of This Is Why, their first album since 2017’s After Laughter. The February 10 show will be headlined by Dave Matthews Band with special guest DJ Pee .Wee, and Imagine Dragons and Kane Brown will wrap things up on Saturday, February 11. All three shows will take place at Footprint Center in Phoenix, Arizona.
“This music festival continues to be at the heart of the Super Bowl Fan Experience and will continue to offer everyone an unforgettable lifetime of memories,” President Of On Location and IMG Events Paul Caine said in a statement. “We couldn’t be more excited for those in Phoenix to experience an amazing lineup of headliners who normally wouldn’t perform together for fans.”
Director Of Experiential Marketing For Bud Light Lane Joyce added, “Music and football are core to Bud Light’s DNA, and we’re thrilled to bring our annual Bud Light Super Bowl Music Fest to Phoenix. Beyond the Super Bowl itself, our three-day festival has become the marquee event of Super Bowl week. This year, we have an all-star line-up of musicians from various genres, ensuring we have something for all fans whether they’re traveling early for the game or live right here In Arizona.”
In previous years, the Bud Light Super Bowl Music Fest has staged performances by the likes of Bruno Mars and Cardi B, Halsey and Machine Gun Kelly, Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton, Miley Cyrus and Green Day, and Post Malone and Aerosmith.
Tickets for all three 2023 shows go on sale here beginning Friday (December 2) at 10 a.m. local time.
Some artists covered here are Warner Music artists. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.
Driving a car for the first time can be a terrifying experience. But did your maiden vehicular voyage take place in front of a camera — while you pulled off some insane stunt? That’s what it was apparently like for Anya Taylor-Joy, who got her driving legs while filming a movie by one of the kings of automotive mayhem, Mad Max director George Miller.
As per Entertainment Weekly, the in-high-demand Queen’s Gambit actress recently appeared on The Graham Norton Show (while seated next to Bruce Springsteen, no less). At one point, the host busted out a clip she posted to her Instagram account, which finds her on the set of Furiosa, the Mad Max prequel about the early days of Charlize Theron’s Fury Road badass. In it, a car, driven by Taylor-Joy, speeds towards the camera — only to do a perfect “juicy lift 180,” where the car comes to a complete stop, but only after doing a U-turn.
It’s pretty impressive! But you know what’s even more impressive? That it was, she says, her first time driving. “What’s really crazy and slightly upsetting about that is that that’s my first time in a car,” Taylor-Joy told Norton, et al. “So I don’t have a license, I can’t parallel-park, I can’t go on the highway. I still don’t have one, but I can do that. At some point that will come in handy, I’m assuming.”
Furiosa wrapped principal photography late last month after spending the summer shooting. Driving a car wasn’t the only first Taylor-Joy recently enjoyed. She also played with The Beach Boys, as we all do it some point in life.
You’ll have to wait awhile to see how Taylor-Joy equips herself behind the wheel: Furiosa doesn’t hit theaters until May 24, 2024. But for now, you can watch her talk about driving in the video below.
The Arizona Cardinals have struggled a lot this season, sitting at 4-8 through 12 games, which is well outside the playoff picture currently in the NFC.
That’s not where they expected to be after inking quarterback Kyler Murray, head coach Kliff Kingsbury, and GM Steve Keim to long-term extensions this offseason, and there’s plenty of blame to go around for their woeful season thus far. After their most recent loss, blowing a fourth quarter lead to the Chargers, Murray was asked about a botched 4th and 1 play that ended in an interception and very bluntly said they were “f*cked schematically,” seemingly placing a chunk of the blame on the coaching staff.
That clip became a talking point and on Wednesday, Murray’s former teammate and current Vikings cornerback Patrick Peterson discussed that and the Cardinals’ overall struggles with Bryant McFadden on their All Things Covered Podcast. Both noted that Kingsbury was a lock to be the first fall guy for Arizona’s issues, but Peterson said he wasn’t surprised by Murray’s postgame comments because “Kyler Murray don’t care about nobody but Kyler Murray.”
Unsurprisingly, that clip got a lot of attention and even grabbed Kyler’s, who responded in a tweet saying Peterson was on some “weird shit” and called him out for saying he was a “big bro” and then trashing him “so your podcast can grow.”
This isn’t true…you on some weird shit @p2 you got my number, if you really felt like this as a “big bro” or “mentor” you supposed to call me and tell me, not drag me so your podcast can grow… https://t.co/MFqbMKh3la
This is one of the tricky parts of the “new media,” as Draymond Green calls it, because active players talking critically of other players, particularly those they’ve played with in the past, feels much more personal than when someone else in the media does it. Kyler certainly seems to think Peterson crossed a line here with regard to the code players should follow, and it’s hard to blame him for being upset. That said, if Peterson is going to dip his toes in the media waters, these are the types of things people want to hear — blunt criticism that doesn’t hold back — and unfortunately for us, the Vikings and Cardinals already played this season.
Olivia Rodrigo is looking to officially move on from Sour, her wildly successful 2021 debut album. She celebrated its one-year anniversary this May, but she was spotted back in the studio with producer Dan Nigro by August. “Hopefully I won’t be so sad on the next record,” Rodrigo had said in an Elle feature earlier in the year, adding, “I’m definitely not as sad as I was when I wrote Sour. I’m so excited to make my next record and explore more colors and textures and feelings and grow as a human being even more.”
And it seems we’ll get to hear what she meant sooner than later.
Spotify Wrapped took over social media today (November 30), and Rodrigo had a special treat for her top listeners of 2022. “Hey, it’s Olivia! I just wanted to say thank you so much for listening to my music this year,” the three-time Grammy winner said in a pre-recorded video. “[I] really, truly couldn’t be more grateful, and I’m so excited for next year and all of the new things and the new music that 2023 will bring. So I’m sending so much love your way, and thank you again. Bye!”
Rodrigo dropped her monumental debut single “Drivers License” in January 2021 and hasn’t looked back, dominating the charts and Spotify. Earlier this month, Sour became the first album by a female solo artist with four singles individually eclipsing one billion (with a capital ‘B’) Spotify streams: “Drivers License,” “Deja Vu,” “Good 4 U,” and “Traitor.”
TikTok is an ever-growing archive of human wisdom, and recently added to the TikTok lexicon is a mind-bending innovation to optimize one of our most cherished meals, eggs. Deviled eggs, in specific.
This Thanksgiving, North Carolina native Carolina Van DerWerker discovered a shockingly simple method to separate the yolk from the white of a hard-boiled egg in one clean fell swoop.
Just roll the egg gently with the blade of the knife. Brilliant! Considering hors d’oeuvre has been around for centuries, how did no one find out about this, or better yet, who’s been keeping it a secret? This witchcraft was shared with the world via TicToc to absolute astonishment and uproar. The coveted top comment reads, “$22,000 for culinary school and THEY DIDENT TEACH ME THST.” [sic]
Naturally, this got some other TikTok Foodfluencers (please god, don’t let that phrase take) got excited and tried it themselves:
No longer must we suffer the burden of scooping our yolks. Never again will an egg white’s pristine form be compromised. Once again we say thank you TikTok. This Christmas expect Deviled Eggs to be mass-produced.
Since its release in 2003, the Christmas-themed rom-com “Love Actually” captured hearts and became one of the most beloved holiday films of all time. True to its title, the film celebrated love—all kinds of love—as it actually is, and managed to maintain optimism without being overly saccharine. This, coupled with a truly stellar ensemble, made it so well received among audiences, despite the mixed reviews from critics.
Nearly 20 years later, the film’s writer and director Richard Curtis (who also brought us “Notting Hill” and “Bridget Jones’ Diary”) reflects back on why it might have meant so much to so many people. As an artist who has made a name for himself creating enduring love stories, perhaps it’s no surprise that he feels it’s something the world is in constant need of.
“And yet,” he continued,” there’ll be a million people falling in love, feeling it’s the most interesting moment of their lives. Good deeds inside families, and good deeds inside communities.” He went on to remark that during the COVID-19 pandemic people displayed an “extraordinary sort of bravery and heroism.”
“Every day has the potential, in all its simplicity, just to be gorgeous,’ he concluded.
Curtis also noted that despite its timeless themes, that there are definitely some choices he would no longer make. “Thank god, society is changing. So, my film is bound, in some moments, to feel, you know, out of date. I mean, there are things about the film, you know, the lack of diversity makes me feel uncomfortable and a bit stupid,” he said.
Sawyer held interviews with not only Curtis, but with Emma Thompson, Hugh Grant, Bill Nighy, Laura Linney, Thomas Brodie-Sangster, Olivia Olson and Martine McCutcheon, who all starred in the movie.
Thompson, who played upper-class mom Karen, and Bill Nighy, who played aging rock star Billy Mack (and, let’s not forget, gave the film its iconic tune “Christmas is All Around”) seconded Curtis’ sentiments.
“Time and time again, we forget that love is all around us,” Thompson told Sawyer.. “It’s all that matters. [Curtis] reminds us in a film that is very funny about love and all its messiness and its unexpectedness. That you’ll find love in the weirdest places.”
Similarly, Nighy said “I love films that emphasize how remarkable people can be. It was full of love and heart and all those words that you resist, perhaps, and why not?”
Perhaps it’s this refreshingly positive attitude of appreciating life’s simplest, yet most profound moments that helped the movie defy the odds. After all, even the cast admitted to finding the story pretty out there. Hugh Grant, who played Prime Minister David, joked that he originally thought it was all “a bit psychotic.”
“But the thing is,” he added, “with [Curtis], what you have to remember is when he writes about love, he means it. And that is quite rare.”
It’s because of Grant’s commitment to Curtis’ vision that gave us one of his characters most iconic moments—when the Prime Minister gets caught by his secretary while dancing to “Jump (For My Love).”
“I saw it in the script and I thought: ‘Well, I’ll hate doing that,'” Grant quipped… “No Englishman can dance sober at 8 in the morning.” But in the end he honored what he called his “contractual obligation,” though he would like us to know getting caught by the secretary was his (“genius!”) idea.
The special contains all kinds of fun behind the scenes stories that will make you love the film even more. One particularly funny bit is when Curtis shares a story about Keira Knightley wrongly predicting her next role in the major blockbuster “Pirates of the Caribbean” would be a flop. “I remember sitting down with Keira while we were shooting, and saying, ‘what are you doing next?’ And she said, “oh, I don’t think it’s going to work. It’s a pirate film and they always fail.’” Sometimes it’s nice to be very, very wrong.
If you’d like to watch the full special, it’s available on Hulu. And if you haven’t seen “Love Actually,” do yourself a favor and watch it right this second.
Celebrities are known for different things, they all seem to have their niche but Morgan Freeman has cemented his place as the ultimate recognizable voice. In fact, if you ask some people who the voice of God is, Freeman will come to mind with his deep distinctive voice.
When thinking back, there doesn’t seem to be a woman’s voice that you immediately associate with that divine superpower to captivate listeners. Before Freeman was the voice of God, there was James Earl Jones, the voice of Darth Vader. With his deep hearty bass-like voice, even Jones’ laugh is so distinctive that you automatically attribute it to him.
Someone on Reddit decided to find out what female actor people believed had the ability to instantly step into the shoes of someone like Freeman as far as voice is concerned. Some of the answers were pretty surprising while others, you can instantly see how they’d fall into that category.
The post exploded with varying answers and threads of people agreeing or disagreeing with someone’s pick. Obviously everyone has their favorite actors and everyone’s idea of what makes a voice iconic differs from person to person. But commenters didn’t just stop at naming who they thought would fit the description, they gave detailed reasons for several of them.
One of the first recognizable names on the list was Kathleen Turner. She was the voice of Jessica Rabbit in Who Framed Roger Rabbit, co-starred with Michael Douglas in Romancing the Stone, and even won over indie film lovers with her twisted turn in Serial Mom. One commenter described her voice as “low and sexy.”
Eartha Kitt was high on the list for obvious reasons. Of all the people listed, Kitt probably had the most distinctive voice. It was almost as if she purred as she spoke with her low sultry cadence. She played Catwoman in the 1960s Batman series but she had a long career before and after that role. Sadly, we won’t get to have any more chances for Kitt to become the voice of a goddess as she passed away in 2008 at the age of 81.
Reddit users were pretty annoyed that Helen Mirren was further down the list than they would’ve liked. Others felt the same about Judi Dench with both women receiving praise about the seductive sound of their voices. Mirren has been in a plethora of movies and shows but younger folks may best know her from her role in Harry Potter: Hogwarts Tournament of Houses.
While Dench, better known as Dame Judi Dench also has an impressive assortment of titles on her acting resume, many will know her from her role in the James Bond franchise.
Clearly there are different opinions on who should wear the crown as the best female voice, but all of the women listed have had amazing careers. If we want to hear their voices, we simply need to turn on the television, though I’m in favor of one of these ladies narrating as many documentaries and audiobooks as possible. Curious what actress you think has the vocal chords to give Freeman a run for his money.
However chaotic your Thanksgiving dinner was, it had nothing on Donald Trump’s. The former president spent the holiday breaking bread with new anti-Semite Kanye West, who brought a friend: an even bigger anti-Semite who’s also a white nationalist sexist incel who thinks “dating women is gay.” Trump has flailed about trying to spin the meeting, and not very convincingly. Now it appears it has gotten him a surely unwanted round-the-clock guest.
As per The Associated Press, Trump’s presidential campaign has put new protocols in place to ensure he never dines with unapologetic bigots again. (Or at least with Nick Fuentes.) One is that anyone who wants to meet with him has to be fully vetted, though it’s not clear what exactly that entails.
Another, more restrictive protocol is that a senior advisor will be with him “at all times,” to make sure he doesn’t do anything stupid (or at least something so bad that even his allies will be horrified, like eating with people who have threatened Jewish people). It’s not a new practice; Trump had someone hovering over him at all times during his presidency. But it does mean he has a babysitter, there to protect him from himself.
The backlash over Trump’s Thanksgiving dinner has been fierce, though it’s telling that any Republicans who have condemned it have been careful not to actually mention his name. Looks like the GOP still live in fear of him, even after he’s palled around with bigots.
Anybody who thought the vinyl resurgence was just a fad was mistaken: The industry has experienced a legitimate revival. As a result, music fans are interested in physical media in ways they may not have if the decades-old medium hasn’t made a comeback. That doesn’t mean everybody is listening to just their parents’ old music, though. That’s part of it, sure, thanks to rereleases that present classic albums in new ways. A vital part of the renewed vinyl wave, though, is new projects being released as records, of which there are plenty.
Whatever you might be into, each November brings a slew of new vinyl releases that has something for everybody. Some stand out above the rest, naturally, so check out some of our favorite vinyl releases of November below.
The xx — Coexist (10th Anniversary Edition)
Young Turks
As the world waits for new music from The xx, one of their best projects, Coexist, turns a decade old. So, Jamie xx, Oliver Sim, and Romy have dropped a deluxe anniversary edition of the album, which is pressed on striking “crystal clear” vinyl. The band said of it, “That’s the special thing of having records, is that they are a concrete diary, a moment in our friendship. The fact that it’s been ten years, reflecting on that time passing and the music belonging to other people in those ten years — Coexist means something to us, but the connections that people have to those songs now. Fleeting moments of people saying they got married walking down the aisle to ‘Angels,’ it’s very surreal and special to be part of those people’s lives.”
Stranger Things 4: Soundtrack From The Netflix Series
Target
Between Kate Bush and Metallica, music played a major role in the fourth season of Netflix’s unstoppable hit Stranger Things. The soundtrack was memorable beyond that, too, which makes this 2-LP vinyl release a terrific compilation. You can get the version you want, too, as different retailers are carrying different exclusive variations.
The Human League’s time of Virgin Records was a massive success, most notably thanks to Dare, a top-3 album in the US. That and a handful of other releases from the Virgin era are included in a new box set and each one is pressed on colored vinyl chosen by the band: Dare is on turquoise vinyl, Fascination is on transparent lime vinyl, Hysteria is on yellow vinyl, Crash is on transparent red vinyl, and Romantic? is on crystal clear vinyl.
Townes Van Zandt — At My Window (35th Anniversary Edition, RSD Black Friday 2022)
Craft Recordings
Townes Van Zandt kept largely quiet in the ’80s save for the one album he released during the decade, At My Window. This 35th-anniversary pressing features newly remastered audio pressed on sky blue vinyl and if you want it, it’s limited to just 6,000 copies, so act quickly.
Dolly Parton — Diamonds & Rhinestones: The Greatest Hits Collection
RCA Records/Dolly Records/Legacy Recordings
It’s tough to condense Dolly Parton’s storied career down to just a standard-length compilation album, but that’s just what Parton has done with Diamonds & Rhinestones. The collection features songs from between 1971 and 2020, and while there’s a standard black edition that’s always a timeless look, the pink glitter vinyl pressing is particularly lovely.
Verve Records and UMe are teaming with vinyl kings Third Man Records to relaunch the “Verve By Request” vinyl reissue series and they’re starting with Alice Coltrane’s Ptah, The El Daoud. One of the first albums Coltrane released following the death of husband and collaborator John Coltrane, it features contributions from jazz icons Pharoah Sanders and Joe Henderson.
1972 was a transformative time for the Beach Boys, an era they chronicle on their new box set that features 1972’s Carl And The Passions — “So Tough” and 1973’s Holland. There’s a lot for fans to sink their teeth into here, including unreleased outtakes, live recordings, radio promos, alternate versions, alternate mixes, isolated backing tracks, and a cappella versions.
Guns N’ Roses — Use Your Illusion I & II (Box Set)
UME/Geffen
In 1991, back in the day when surprises releases weren’t as common as they are now, Guns N’ Roses shocked the world by dropping two new albums, Use Your Illusion I and II. Now, the albums have been remastered for a fresh reissue across multiple formats. In particular, there’s a ton going on with the 7-LP box set, which features a total of 97 songs (63 of which are previously unreleased), along with a 100-page book and other archival documents and collectibles.
Kiss — Creatures Of The Night (40th Anniversary 3LP Deluxe Edition)
UMe
Creatures Of The Night was an end of an era for Kiss, as it was their last album to feature them in their signature makeup (until 1998’s Psycho Circus). It also turns 40 years old in 2022 and the new 3-LP reissue features 16 studio rarities as well as live performances from the Creatures ‘82/’83 Tour.
Krill — Alam No Hris (10-Year Anniversary Reissue)
Sren Records
Krill carved out a space for themselves in the Northeast DIY community ten years ago with their debut album, Alam No Hris. Now, Sipsman has teamed with Sren Records (the band’s fake label) to put this classic “krillwave” LP onto vinyl for the first time.
It’s been two decades since Yoshimi and some pink robots got into it and Flaming Lips are celebrating with an expansive anniversary reissue. This 5-LP box set includes the original album, B-sides, demos, radio sessions, and a bunch of other rarities. All in all, there are 56 tracks here, 30 of which were previously unreleased.
SZA fans have had December circled since November 12, when she was unveiled as the musical guest for the December 3 episode of Saturday Night Live, which led to the assumption that her long-awaited sophomore album would drop around the same time. SZA confirmedS.O.S. is coming in December and teased the album cover, presumably, today (November 30).
Who is going to have the undesirable task of following SZA on SNL later in December?
The iconic sketch comedy series confirmed its December show schedule yesterday. The December 10 episode will be hosted by Steve Martin and Martin Short and feature Brandi Carlile as the musical guest.
“The greatest @nbcsnl of the year!” Carlile posted to Instagram. “I would fly to New York City just to witness this from the audience. But instead, I get to sing my songs on my favorite show.”
Carlile last performed on SNL on October 23, 2021, to complement an episode hosted by Jason Sudeikis. More recently, the six-time Grammy winner joined Sir Elton John to sing “Don’t Let The Sun Go Down On Me” at Los Angeles’ Dodger Stadium, John’s final US tour performance.
SNL‘s 2022 will wrap on December 17 with Austin Butler hosting and Yeah Yeah Yeahs performing.
Butler enjoyed a breakout year because of his titular role in Baz Luhrmann’s biopic Elvis, while Yeah Yeah Yeahs returned to music with Cool It Down, their first album since 2013’s Mosquito. Karen O explained why the band doesn’t perform many live shows, so there’s extra incentive to enjoy Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ second-ever SNL set. (The first came all the way back in 2009.)
It all starts this Saturday, December 3, at 11:30 p.m. EST on NBC with host Keke Palmer and SZA.
