Argentina’s players and coaches returned home after winning the World Cup and got an unsurprisingly overwhelming reception from their fans. The squad made their way onto a bus and went through the Argentinian capital of Buenos Aires, which led to fans packing into the streets to see the first group of players to bring the World Cup to their country since 1986.

At a certain point, things got so chaotic that the plug had to be pulled on the bus tour altogether, with the players moving from a bus to a helicopter.

Here’s a glimpse into just how nuts things got on their tour. At one point, the players tried to go underneath an overpass that was packed with people. A few supporters thought it’d be a good idea to try and jump on the bus, only for one person to miss completely and hit the deck.

As for Argentina’s players, they were pretty fired up about the whole thing, too. Here’s a glimpse of the scene on the bus, which included Argentinian goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez holding a doll that had France star Kylian Mbappe’s face on it.

Between all of this and Lionel Messi having the most popular post in the history of Instagram, it’s been a pretty big couple of days in the world of Argentinian football.

As the music industry starts to wind down for the year every December, there’s nothing to keep a shred of momentum going like making sense of the best music we heard this year. But artists tend to be far more diplomatic with sharing their faves than say… a media outlet. While Uproxx’s Best Songs of 2022 list gives you a comprehensive snapshot of the year’s best cuts, when someone like Jay-Z or Tyler The Creator lays out what songs really resonated with them over the course of the year, it gives you an opportunity to gauge what the people you’re listening to are listening to. And that’s cool. But while Jay-Z’s selections of best songs of the year were a pretty safe choice of hip-hop #hits, Tyler The Creator digs a little bit deeper with his faves and ventures outside of hip-hop for many of them.

For starters, the first song on Tyler’s list (which he tweeted out) came out in 2020: “In Mind” by the Sweet Enoughs, a chilled-out side project from members of Hiatus Kaiyote. But Tyler’s list definitely leads into well-known hits from the 2022 hip=hop spectrum too, like Pusha T’s “Neck & Wrist” featuring Jay-Z and Pharrell Williams, Steve Lacy’s “Buttons,” and Kendrick Lamar’s “Worldwide Steppers” and “Savior.” And he also keeps digging into deeper releases, like “Around The House,” from the new posthumous album by ’70s multi-instrumentalist Charles Stepney and “Pour Le Moment” by tropically-minded Detroit producer Sol Set.

But shortly after Tyler blasted out his picks, a user asked him if he was forgetting about Omar Apollo’s “Tamagotchi.” Tyler emphatically corrected himself and included Apollo’s sexy cut. “DAWG I KNEW IT WAS A SONG I FORGOT WHEN I MADE THIS MENTAL LIST. THE BRIDGE ON THAT IS 10,” he tweeted.

Have you been thinking about reducing your alcohol consumption? If so, you’re not alone. These days more and more people are trying to reevaluate why they drink, and the myriad ways alcohol affects their lives. And, not surprisingly, more and more people are deciding to cut back on booze all over the world.

Of course, not that long ago, anybody who wanted to cut back on alcohol basically had to give up on beer, wine, and cocktails altogether because there weren’t a lot of non-alcoholic options worth drinking. But that is not the case anymore. Today there are a ton of outstanding alcohol-free wines, beers, and spirits that make it easy to cut back on alcohol without cutting back on life’s simple pleasures. There are entire stores dedicated to the art of dry mixology.

A couple of Brooklyn-based cocktail lovers started experimenting with non-alcoholic spirits and mixers. And after discovering all sorts of unique products, they decided to open their own brick-and-mortar retail location to make these non-alcoholic spirits and mixers more widely successful.

Mess with the “Rap Devil,” be prepared to feel its horns. Indie rocker Machine Gun Kelly is attempting to stick it to Fox Media in a new trademark lawsuit filed by his attorney. The “Emo Girl” musician has seen his fair share of musical beef, including a brief online spat with iconic metal band Slipknot, but his latest squabble is quietly being fought in the courtroom.

In documents obtained by Billboard, attorneys representing Machine Gun Kelly have attempted to block the television network’s trademark application for the term “diablo.” Although the term is considered extremely common, Kelly’s representative claim the network’s planned use of the term was “confusingly similar in overall commercial impression” to the musician’s album title.

The album in question, Hotel Diablo, was released in July 2019. The musician seemingly retaliated after the network squashed Kelly’s application seeking to register the album’s title late in 2020. In June 2020, the network filed its initial application for the trademark.

While Fox Media wishes to use its trademark to protect the name of a character in its series, HouseBroken, Kelly desires to release merchandise with the term.

HouseBroken, now in its second season, is slowly beginning to catch steam which Fox Media wants to capitalize on by selling a wide range of goods “in connection with an animated, dog-like character,” voiced by actor Tony Hale.

Beginning on Tuesday, December 13, the federal trademark office began hearing agreements on the matter. Kelly’s lawyers are claiming “priority of use,” as their application was filed six months before Fox News. Kelly’s defense for the case states, “Because of the similarity between the ‘DIABLO’ Mark and the ‘HOTEL DIABLO’ Mark, and because the goods covered under the ‘DIABLO’ Application are related to the goods sold under the ‘HOTEL DIABLO’ Mark, consumers are likely to be confused, mistaken, or deceived into believing that Kelly’s goods originate with Fox Media or are in some way associated with or connected, sponsored, or authorized by Fox Media.”

The case is currently being reviewed by the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board, where a final decision will be made.

Lace Up v. Fox Media by Billboard

If you haven’t been paying attention to what happened in the gubernatorial race in Arizona this year, it’s pretty simple: a crazy-eyed, MAGA-fied local TV personality named Kari Lake ran against Democratic secretary of state Katie Hobbs and lost. If you asked Lake to recount the events of the 2022 midterms, however, you’d likely get a very different story — one that includes her essentially claiming that the election was rigged from the get-go (but only if she lost), Donald Trump demanding that she be “installed” as governor, Lake threatening that we’ll all become “slaves” if she isn’t just given the job she didn’t get, using “clowns” as scapegoats, and Lake vowing revenge on the “evil bastards” who haven’t supported her or her wild claims. You got that?

As part of Lake’s extended campaign to win an election she very clearly lost, she did that Republican thing where she actually filed a lawsuit in an attempt to be declared victorious. So far, as the Arizona Republic reports, it’s not going so well.

While the judge did refuse to just outright dismiss Lake’s suit, in which she claims that there was misconduct on the part of election officials, he’s now telling her it’s time to pony up the evidence she claims to have. Which is where things might get tricky for the former news anchor. According to the Arizona Republic:

Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Peter Thompson tossed eight of the claims in Lake’s lawsuit, but allowed two to remain that alleged an intentional plot by officials to manipulate the election in favor of Lake’s Democratic opponent, Secretary of State Katie Hobbs. In two separate orders, he ruled that a two-day trial will take place before Jan. 2, and that Hobbs and County Recorder Stephen Richer would be required to testify as Lake wished.

Lake has “alleged intentional misconduct sufficient to affect the outcome of the election and thus has stated an issue of fact that requires going beyond the pleadings,” the ruling stated. It continued that Lake must show at trial that the county’s printer malfunctions were intentionally rigged to affect the election results, and that the actions “did actually affect the outcome.”

When it came time for Abha Khanna, Hobbs’ lawyer, to speak to Lake’s claims of election fraud, she did NOT hold back:

According to Ms. Lake, there was a concerted, coordinated effort among signature reviewers … and Maricopa voting machine technicians to rig the election against her. This master plot was deployed on election day precisely because more Republicans tend to vote on election day. And this intentional conduct against Republican voters was driven by the Maricopa County recorder, who is a Republican, and the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors, four out of five of whom are also Republican.

And remarkably, this scheme took place among some scores of election officials and non-government actors without a single trace. No documents, no emails, no leaks.

No more!?!

If you’ve watched live television recently, you’ve probably seen those ads for Creed III that, instead of showing a trailer, tell you to watch the trailer online. Why not just …. show the trailer for Creed III? This is a question for another day and another blog. Creed III, the third (that’s what III means) film in the Creed franchise that started with Ryan Coogler’s 2015 film Creed and the ninth film in the Rocky Cinematic Universe is looming, with a release expected early next year.

If you’re one of those people who want to be entirely up to date on everything Creed III so you have something to talk about in moments of awkward silence, or in the high chance that someone questions your knowledge on Creed III, you’ve come to the right place. From its release date to the director to the cast to the plot, here is everything you should know about Creed III before it hits theaters in 2023.

Release Date

The film’s scheduled release date as of right now is March 3, 2023. The film was originally scheduled to come out Thanksgiving weekend 2022, but the date was pushed back by Warner Brothers in July. Things get moved around a lot these days for various reasons, so it could change again, but for now, expect to see it in theaters exclusively in March 2023.

Cast

Michael B. Jordan is reprising his role as Adonis “Donnie” Creed. Tessa Thompson returns as his girlfriend, Bianca. Jonathan Majors of Loki, Lovecraft Country, and being absolutely shredded will appear in the film Donnie’s nemesis in the ring. Unfortunately, Sylvester Stallone is not returning as Rock Balboa. Stallone’s performance in the original film earned him an Oscar nomination for best-supporting actor.

“I think, first of all, Jonathan Majors is incredible,” Jordan said at an October 17 press conference, via Vulture. “Very, very blessed and lucky to have him be a part of this story … The world is finding out daily how incredible this man is in the work that he does, [and he] is finally getting the props that’s due.”

Director

Creed III will mark actor Michael B. Jordan’s directorial debut. Ryan Coogler, who directed 2015’s Creed, got a little busy with directing Black Panther and its sequel Wakanda Forever to continue with the franchise, and Creed II director Steven Caple, Jr. is a little busy directing Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, expected in 2023. The news that Jordan would direct himself in Creed III was announced in 2021. The film was shot earlier this year.

“Directing has always been an aspiration, but the timing had to be right,” Jordan said in a 2021 statement, per Variety. “Creed III is that moment — a time in my life where I’ve grown more sure of who I am, holding agency in my own story, maturing personally, growing professionally, and learning from the Greats like Ryan Coogler, most recently Denzel Washington, and other top tier directors I respect. All of which sets the table for this moment,” he continued.

Plot

Here’s the film’s official synopsis:

Five years after Creed II, after dominating the boxing world, Adonis “Donnie” Creed has been thriving in both his career and family life. When a childhood friend and former boxing prodigy, Damian “Dame” Anderson, resurfaces after serving a long sentence in prison, he is eager to prove that he deserves his shot in the ring. The face-off between former friends is more than just a fight. To settle the score, Donnie must put his future on the line to battle Dame – a fighter who has nothing to lose.

So, basically, the plot is Michael B. Jordan fighting Jonathan Majors. No disrespect to Jordan, but it looks like Majors is going to win this one.

Trailer

Yes, the trailer dropped in mid-October, and you can watch it below.

You can also check out an exclusive look at the making of Creed III, courtesy of Michael B. Jordan himself. Creed III is also the first sports movie to be filmed on IMAX cameras.

‘Creed III’ premieres in theaters on March 3, 2023.

Last week, The Banshees Of Inisherin became available for fans to stream on HBO Max — and record their favorite scenes. One of which is a moment in the movie featuring Barry Keoghan’s Dominic, that is now going viral on Twitter for just how great his performance was.

The clip caught the attention of rapper/actor Kid Cudi, who praised the actor and has seemingly been converted into the Barry-hive. “He is a beast. Wow,” Cudi tweeted, as his fans replied in full agreement.

Keoghan caught Cudi’s post, and offered a reply of his own. “WOWWWW! This means a lot brother, Thank you,” he responded, complete with a red heart emoji.

Cudi’s tweet comes on the heels of other celebrities offering their support for Keoghan’s acting skill. “This is just an appreciation tweet to say that my boy @BarryKeoghan in The Banshees of Inisherin is my favorite performance of the year. Stunning work. I’m so proud of you,” wrote Kumail Nanjiani. He is also nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actor — Motion Picture.

As for the fans, they had even more creative reactions to Keoghan and Cudi recognizing each other’s brilliance. “I assume you’re going to love this tweet……………day and nite?” one user joked, referencing Cudi’s biggest song.

Welcome to the fandom. We’ve had a great year.

Though publication year-end lists are ostensibly a gathering of raw data or historical record, they’re intended as storytelling devices. And despite 11 months of evidence to the contrary, it appears that most critics and listeners spent 2022 trying to imagine a better, brighter world. The reigning power trio of Beyoncé, Rosalía and Bad Bunny crafted globetrotting, celebratory dance albums that were both universally acclaimed and commercial blockbusters, achieving poptimism’s utopian ideal where the biggest artists in the world are also the best. On a more intimate scale, Sudan Archives, Bartees Strange and Soul Glo culminated their exploratory phases with bold statements largely inspired by their desire to defy expectations projected onto Black artists operating in “indie.” In those same spaces, Big Thief, Florist, and Beach House offered refuge in their sprawling, pastoral and welcoming epic double-LPs, whereas Alex G and Alvvays secured their status as A-listers after a decade of organic hustle. Meanwhile, Wet Leg and Jockstrap brought a much-needed sense of whimsy to British post-punk and even the consensus metal picks like Undeath and Dream Unending indulged in pulpy, airbrushed-van imagery. So it’s only fair to ask… what did become of all of the bad vibes?

Most would argue for us to use these feelings towards constructive ends — hardcore and metal albums were praised for how they make you feel like you could fight God or deadlift an 18-wheeler or set a Wells Fargo ablaze. But how does this square with how social media and, really, all media felt on a daily basis — the futile, impotent anger that arose when the Black Lives Matter protests of 2020 somehow led to police departments getting their budgets increased, or having student loan relief be subject to endless, frivolous lawsuits or any number of mass shootings or COVID spikes or Ticketmaster or JD Vance or Elon Musk? It’s understandable to seek escape when the worst people on earth face no material consequences for their behavior, but where does the negative energy go? To paraphrase Homer Simpson, are we just meant to squeeze that rage into a bitter little ball and release it at an appropriate time?

If 2022 needed a sin-eater, Chat Pile’s brutally hilarious and hilariously brutal sludge-metal opus God’s Country had the biggest appetite. I can’t quite come up with a word that suffices as the opposite of “escapism,” but if there is one, that’s what Chat Pile embodies. People who choose to go outside confront the horrors of the widening wealth gap, as tent cities of scabies and ringworm-infected unhoused push their shit around in a shopping cart in front of glimmering and empty condo complexes. People who stay inside are defenseless against both homicidal and suicidal impulses, which can take the shape of a drug-induced vision of Grimace. Family and friends are mere mirrors of our failures. Blue-collar meatpackers and corporate drones are haunted by how their proverbial sausage is made. The brutality of a cattle slaughterhouse is repeated at a Sirloin Stockade steakhouse at the hands of Roger Dale Stafford. The poor souls here are even denied the sweet release of death on “I Don’t Care If I Burn.” The substance of the Oklahoma City band’s “American horror story” felt both pulled directly from the headlines, while the sound was 2022’s most potent counterprogramming.

When I catch up with frontman Raygun Busch, he’s enjoying a typical lazy Saturday at home in Oklahoma City, planning to catch The Menu with his girlfriend later that night — a pitch-black comedy whose themes of mass murder and fine dining sit squarely within the subject matter of God’s Country. Busch compares his vocals to a “dying animal,” while others went with Barney Gumble — but he doesn’t sound all that different in person than on record. He attributes this quality to a naturalistic approach, to find a bespoke death growl by imagining yourself being chased by someone with a knife. “If you can tap into that when you’re doing music, you’re making sandwiches,” he deadpans.

I promise Busch in advance not to belabor the two most commonplace elements of Chat Pile’s narrative thus far — they like Korn and they’re from Oklahoma City. Even though God’s Country has been met with nearly unanimous praise, Busch acknowledges there’s something slightly backhanded about how Chat Pile is projected with inverse credibility — that their dirtbag doomsaying feels more real coming from them instead of, say, a Brooklyn band claiming Swans. “Luckily it hasn’t been rude, like that King Of The Hill episode where Peggy thinks that she’s an artist and that dude is portraying her as a hillbilly outsider,” he jokes. “It hasn’t been that extreme, but people definitely have their own conceptions about what OKC is like. I think a lot of people don’t understand that the internet equalized everything. I can get anything, especially now.”

Despite playing a style of music that had most often been judged by its potency in a live setting, Chat Pile is the type of band that was well-suited to exist almost entirely in Pandemic Time. Busch mentions that he’s 38 years old, and the other members — Luther Manhole, Stin and Cap’n Ron, all pseudonyms sadly — are likewise seasoned vets of Oklahoma’s noise-rock scene, no longer as willing to endure the get-in-the-van lifestyle they might have lionized a decade earlier. Similarly, a newly captive audience seeking claustrophobic, caterwauling music to mirror their quarantined existence accelerated Chat Pile’s rise more than a plum opening slot could. “When you put music on Bandcamp [with the tag] ‘noise rock,’ there are guys out there – people, but mostly guys to be honest – looking for new noise rock and we started to build a little steam,” Busch recalls. Chat Pile’s early EPs began to catch on in some of the…let’s say terminally online spaces of the heavy music internet. “We have a member in our band, he’s an active user on Sputnik and Rate Your Music…or used to be,” Busch explains, himself a former lurker on LiveJournal and MakeoutClub. As with many bands in this realm, positive notice from Anthony Fantano at the Needle Drop caused an immediate surge in Chat Pile’s profile, which peaked this July, when God’s Country received a surprising Best New Music nod at Pitchfork.

The music consolidates various generations of noise-rock fans — the concussive drum sound is sourced from an electronic kit, partially as a tribute to industrial metal icons Godflesh, mostly as a response to their limited amount of practice space. Busch first learned to scream by replicating Frank Black’s demonic performance on “Tame” and God’s Country’s bleak humor places them in a sarcastic sludge lineage of Jesus Lizard to Daughters to Pissed Jeans. However, their detuned, juddering riffs are unquestionably nü, creating another form of context collapse where heavy music fans saw no difference between “Ball Tongue” and “Mouth Breather.”

Even if Chat Pile might seem like an instantaneous success for people who mostly get their fix of heavy music from indie rock websites, rest assured that Busch had been putting in decades of sweat equity, toiling fruitlessly in the Rust Belt heavy music scene. “I have like 20 albums recorded by myself – they used to exist on CD-R,” Busch notes. Knowing where he landed nearly a decade later, the twee folk stylings of “Trust the Trees” might be even more unnerving than, say, “grimace_smoking_weed.jpg.” “We have just been trying to get people to listen to our music for 20 years and I had no expectations to do anything with this,” he continues. “When we were getting a couple thousand listeners on Spotify, I was like, “we are off to the races, boys!’ And then it has exceeded all of our wildest expectations.”

As with most albums created during peak pandemic times, God’s Country has been finished for long enough that the follow-up is already in progress. As for now, Chat Pile are running a victory lap of sorts with the recent release of a soundtrack for the indie film Tenkiller. Based on the film’s name and the sound of God’s Country, most could be forgiven for assuming it’s a horror movie, at least outside of Oklahoma; Busch notes that “it’s a straight-up drama,” and that anyone from the Sooner State would recognize the name of Tenkiller Ferry Lake. One of the film’s creators, Edmond-based noise rock fan Jeremy Choate, read an Oklahoma Gazette piece that compared Chat Pile to Jesus Lizard and reached out to the band – not only with “real money” for the soundtrack but a small role for Busch as a cop. “I didn’t have a lot of lines and I improvised everything,” Busch proudly notes. “They left just about all of it in.”

Busch also alludes to the possibility of new music to tide us over until LP2, but in the meantime, Chat Pile have tried to make the most of their big year. After playing a show in New York where they made a sizable amount of merch money, Chat Pile’s flight got canceled and they decided to make the best of the situation. “We may or may not have gotten LSD from this band in Philly who made a good album this year. We went to Times Square and saw the Seinfeld apartment, you only live once,” Busch laughs. “That was a gravy day, when I’m dying, I’ll be thinking of that day we had in New York City.” If anyone deserved a chance to break character in 2022, it’s Chat Pile.

This past year proved to be fruitful for Memphis rapper GloRilla. Her songs like “F.N.F (Let’s Go)” and “Tomorrow 2,” with Cardi B, proved to be viral hits. But with a platform like the one she’s earned this year comes downsides to fame, including rumors.

“F.N.F.” became a quick favorite in the rap world, with her peers, Latto and JT of City Girls quickly hopping onto a remix of the track. Though, it was previously announced that Saweetie would remix the track, and her verse even leaked to the internet and received much play in the clubs.

Because of this switch, rumors began to circulate that GloRilla and Saweetie were beefing. In a recent interview with Complex, GloRilla revealed that those rumors couldn’t be further from the truth, nor is she invested in beef with anyone else.

“I ain’t know they was trying to make us beef,” Glo said. “We never thought that sh*t. We always, ‘What’s up, sis?’ I don’t know what the f*ck they talking about. In general, they do try to pit women against each other. They don’t do that to males. It be a lot of lying and sh*t. That’s why I learned to not give a f*ck about any of that sh*t.”

Saweetie and Cardi B are Warner Music artists. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

Taylor Sheridan continues to expand his Yellowstone universe with more adventures and struggles from the Dutton family. This month, 1923 became the franchise’s newest prequel entry following the success of 1883. That particular show starred Sam Elliott, but the freshest installment carries even more voluminous star power.

Release Date

The first 1923 episode debuted on December 18, 2022 in lockstep with the latest Yellowstone Season 5 installment. Franchise devotees will be thrilled, too, given that there are multiple options to watch, including both live viewing on the Paramount Network and at-leisure streaming on Paramount+. At the moment, however, 1923 isn’t available for streaming on Hulu or Peacock, even though that’s the case for Yellowstone.

The good news, however, is that if you’re not already a Paramount+ subscriber, there’s an array of plans to choose from. At the moment, there’s a half-price deal going, which adds up to a year of the Premium plan going for $50 and the Essential plan (with ads) for $25. On a month-to-month basis, Premium will run you $10, and Essential runs $5.

Cast

1923 stars Harrison Ford as Jacob Dutton and Helen Mirren as his wife, Cara. These two land-defending lovers will fend off a whole host of threats, including not only the forces of nature but also the Great Depression, Prohibition, and encroachers upon their territory. Helen Mirren will possibly wave a gun around while issuing threats. It should be a fun time.

Supporting cast members include Brandon Sklenar, Darren Mann, Michelle Randolph, James Badge Dale, Marley Shelton, and Brian Geraghty. Because I’m an instigator, I’m disappointed to hear that Dawn Olivieri hasn’t been announced for 1923, given that she’s somehow made her way onto both Yellowstone and 1883. Obviously, these are different roles, but can’t we have a little more fun if we make one of those roles do some time traveling?

Plot

Here is the official description for 1923 with plenty more to come:

The Duttons face a new set of challenges in the early 20th century, including the rise of Western expansion, Prohibition and the Great Depression.

In the first episode, Jacob must settle a beef among sheep herders and cattle ranchers. From there, Cara delivers an education to those women who marry a Dutton man. Look forward to Episode 2, coming soon.
