The Jim Henson series Fraggle Rock debuted way back in 1983, and now, it has returned in 2022 via a reboot, as Fraggle Rock: Back To The Rock premiered on Apple TV+ today. Alongside the show, a soundtrack album is also out now and it features Foo Fighters playing a cover of “Fraggle Rock Rock,” which unsurprisingly features a harder rock edge than the original track. The original version of the song premiered in 1983 in “Wembley And The Gorgs,” the second episode of the initial Fraggle Rock series.
Aside from Foo Fighters, the soundtrack also features contributions from Ed Helms, Kenan Thompson, Patti LaBelle, Cynthia Erivo, and Daveed Diggs.
Listen to Foo Fighters’ rendition of “Fraggle Rock Rock” above and find the Fraggle Rock: Back To The Rock art and tracklist below. Also find the original version of “Fraggle Rock Rock” below.

Nobody knows the road quite like comedians. Unlike your typical traveler, a comedian travels for work, not pleasure — which means they are less likely to hit up that crowded destination restaurant or bar, and more likely to hit the greasy spoon spots and dives that make our American cities truly unique. While the rest of us are using Yelp, comedians are the only people still operating on the Hobo Code and avoiding all the tourist traps as a result (unless for comedic purposes).
As Covid-19 restrictions continue to dominate our lives (!) it’s looking like whatever grand travel plans we made after getting vaccinated may have to be postponed again. But it’s never a bad time to hit the road solo (or with a small group of friends) and engage in some good old domestic travel (National Park, perhaps?). And who better to guide us than a working comedian who spends more time on the road than she does at home?
That’s why we hit up comedian Valerie Tosi for a nationwide guide to her favorite food spots. In addition to being an accomplished standup comedian, Tosi is a Second City trained actor, writer, and voice-over artist who has appeared on the Joel McHale Show, Conan, and IFC’s Stan Against Evil. She’s also the producer and host of The Mermaid Comedy Hour, the longest-running all-female comedy show at the Hollywood Improv.
Tosi’s debut comedy album, Beach Trash — in which she explores the pitfalls of being a comedian in your 30s and navigating the world of family, dating, travel, being “bad at bisexuality,” and making it through Covid — drops today and is available on Bandcamp, Apple Music, Spotify, and other streaming platforms. To mark the occasion, she gave us her ten favorite eateries nationwide, hitting us with great-looking food spots from Alaska to Atlanta.
Throw on Beach Trash and dive into Tosi’s ten favorite eateries nationwide below.
The first time I ever went out on the road, our final stop was NoLa. It remains near and drunkenly dear to my heart (I cherish the absolute chaos of Bourbon Street). When you get to the point of realizing you’ve had one Vieux Carre too many, head on over to Verti Marte in the French Quarter.
Don’t be taken aback by the drunk women sitting on the curb stuffing a po’boy into their face while they rest their high-heeled feet… Mainly because, at one point, I was one of them. I mean it when I say it was the best shrimp po’boy I’ve ever had in my life. You know it’s true because I dropped half of it on the ground and still ate it. Probably why Covid hasn’t gotten to me yet.
Do you love eating diabetic portions while burning your corneas from neon lighting? Welcome to the Peppermill! As an east coast dirtbag, my go-to breakfast order here and everywhere is corned beef hash and eggs. And yes, I prefer to eat the canned stuff like I’m rationing food in a 1970’s bunker.
During brunch hours, there’s always a wait, but it’s a blessing in disguise. Put your name on the list and head into the lounge where you can enjoy the ridiculous electric firepit while they play music videos on every TV. If you’re lucky enough to snag a seat at the bar, pop an Andrew Jackson in video poker and watch a stranger get absolutely wrecked on one of their 64-oz Scorpion Bowls.
There is nothing I love in this life more than good fried seafood. Being from Massachusetts, I was spoiled rotten with the best of the best. Salisbury is my very kitschy, touristy beach town. The proof is that Lena’s sign is a giant anthropomorphic whale with thick lips and long eyelashes. It’s very unsettling, and yet I would riot if they ever took it down.
The clam chowder is denser than hot fudge. Their onion rings are cornmeal battered, resulting in the tastiest little bastards you’ll ever have. I personally go big and get the Captain Hook; fried haddock, flounder, shrimp, clams, scallops, and smelts. You won’t be able to button your pants which is why most people don’t wear any and opt to eat in their bathing suits and oversized discount house t-shirts.
Alaska is WILD. Like, literally and figuratively. One of the locals told me, “You know a real Alaskan because they put tinfoil on their windows to keep the sun out.” So I’m sorry, what’s it like living inside a baked potato? I digress. After a night of staying at a self-proclaimed haunted hotel, I stumbled into Snow City Cafe looking for breakfast. I ordered a plate appropriately named “Deadliest Catch,” aka a benedict with one smoked salmon cake and one Alaskan king crab cake. Lemme tell you, that meal was better than seeing the northern lights and a baby moose combined.
Everything’s bigger in Texas. Including my appetite. After a night of debauchery, I was treated to an exquisite brunch (Translation: The pals I was crashing with paid because they have real people jobs). Hugo’s is authentic Mexican and pure perfection. We ordered a few different meals to share, but what is burned into my sense memory forever is the Huevos Poblanos. Seemingly simple, it’s poached eggs over sweet cornbread with asparagus and potatoes and some sort of magical sauce that has yet to be replicated. I yearn for it.
I ache for it. I refuse another human being’s sexual advances because all I can think about is that taste of transcendence.
I love sake. Currently, I have two big bottles of Kikusui in my fridge. So when I was asked to do shows at Denver Comedy Lounge in the back of Colorado Sake Co, I was sold. The comedy venue is incredible, but that’s not why we’re here. We are here because you can get locally brewed sake AND sake seltzers. You’ll need both to wash down the spice of the tuna and mango roll, which is TDF (that’s to die for, I’m creating my own acronyms now).
They also serve flights of their homebrewed sake, so both you and the tuna will be rolling out of there (I’m so sorry for that pun, it’s been a challenging year, okay?)
Look, we all know you don’t need another BBQ recommendation, so hang in there. Atlanta feels like a second home. My best friend Muretta lives there, and so do some of the funniest comedians in the country. On my first visit, she took me to an adorable little spot that looked like a creatively painted house from a distance. LottaFrutta describes their menu as “Pan-Latin,” because it’s influenced by several Latin backgrounds. Their colorful smoothies and fresh-cut fruit cups are the only reason I have not dehydrated while there.
The Just Veggin’ sandwich makes me forget that it’s 400* outside, even though I’ve had swamp-ass from the moment my flight touched down.
I recorded my album at The Comedy Attic in Bloomington because they are one of the best clubs in the country… But also because I was desperately craving The Owlery’s coconut macadamia tofu. I’m not a vegetarian (see: corned beef hash), but I enjoy eating vegetarian meals. This little local gem served as one of our favorite spots to hit up during the Limestone Comedy Festival.
Any place that is chill with letting a horde of obnoxious comedians take over their establishment are literal angels. Great, now I’m also craving their peanut veggie bowl. Jared, can I have a club weekend again asap?
The best part of standup comedy is that you’ll find yourself telling jokes pretty much anywhere that’ll let you. In 2019, I booked a gig at Merrymac Games and Comics (a fantastic indie comic and collectible shop that you should 100% support). To my absolute delight, there is a tiny diner just down the street called Charlie’s. Even though it shares the same name as my ex-fiancé, I decided to give them a chance. Two words, my friends: Meatloaf Omelet. Yeah, I know, I’m a weirdo but listen to me, that thing was aggressively huge. I ate almost the entire thing, plus a homemade biscuit slathered in butter.
NH’s state motto is “Live Free Or Die,” and I came pretty dang close.
Cheesesteaks get all the credit which is why I’m going to sing the praises of the fluffiest, borderline erotic banana pancakes known to man. Gold Standard is within walking distance to fellow funny pal Michelle Biloon. The pancakes are as big as the plate they come on and as thick as Gritty’s luscious fur. Their quiche is as much of a masterpiece as egg pie can be. So I order both and eat whatever I don’t finish an hour later like I’m trying to fatten up before hibernation.
Honestly, I eat there almost every morning like Jack Nicholson in As Good As It Gets. You probably won’t get that reference because I am very uncool and watch old people’s movies. That said, please do a wellness check if I start carrying bacon in ziplock bags.
Back when non-superhero movies had a chance at the box office, Knives Out made over $300 million and was nominated for an Academy Award. A big reason for the film’s success — besides it being really good, the power of Ana de Armas, and Chris Evans’ iconic sweater — was how rewatchable it is. As soon as the end credits hit, I wanted to watch the doughnut scene again. A few days later, I did exactly that (30 bucks of that $300 million is from me — you’re welcome, Rian), and it was as good the second time.
Varietyreports that the “hotly-anticipated sequel is expected to release in theaters and the streaming platform in the last quarter of 2022. In addition, the film is expected to also make a festival run before its release, although it’s unknown which ones it’s expected to debut at. With this added layer, we can expect the sequel to be a possible awards hopeful for Netflix next year.” Netflix released possible Best Picture contenders The Power of the Dog,The Lost Daughter, and tick, tick… BOOM! in the final fourth of 2021, so the streaming service has hope that Johnson can recapture the magic of the original.
He’s already re-captured a great cast. Daniel Craig is back from the first Knives Out, and this time, he’s joined by Edward Norton, Janelle Monáe, Kathryn Hahn, Leslie Odom Jr., Kate Hudson, Madelyn Cline, Jessica Henwick, Ethan Hawke, and Dave Bautista. The real mystery of Knives Out 2: will Bautista wear his tiny glasses again?
When the lineup for When We Were Young Fest came out last week, every emo kid past, present, and future went bananas. How could they not when Paramore, My Chemical Romance, Bright Eyes, Bring Me The Horizon, Avril Lavigne, and Jimmy Eat World were all prominently featured on the single-day fest’s lineup? Tickets for the October 22nd music festival in Las Vegas went on sale this morning and they promptly sold out. But, showing that they really don’t want to see anyone sad, festival organizer Live Nation immediately announced a second day of the festival that immediately went on sale.
When We Were Young Fest’s Day 2 will be… err… Taking Back Sunday, so to speak. Sunday, October 23rd, that is, when the the same exact lineup will be gracing the stages of the Las Vegas Festival grounds.
“Due to overwhelming demand, a second date has been added to the When We Were Young Festival,” organizers said, which, judging by how viral the lineup and memes built around it were going on social media, the demand was obviously through the roof.
So yes, you’ll now have another chance to see all the acts including Dashboard Confessional, A Day To Remember, AFI, The Used, and more. But hurry, because tickets for the second day are on sale now, here.

A new batch of text messages released by the January 6 House select committee once again show that longtime Donald Trump ally Sean Hannity was well aware of the gravity of MAGA-fueled insurrection and tried repeatedly to get the administration to stop pushing the Big Lie that the election was stolen.
In the latest set of texts, Hannity reached out to White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany and laid out a multi-point plan for how the administration should respond to the attempted coup. The Fox News anchor also warned that Trump has now put himself in danger of being impeached or removed from office and that the best course of action is to completely drop the election fraud business. Via The Hill:
“1- No more stolen election talk,” Hannity reportedly texted McEnany, who herself sat down with committee investigators last week after being subpoenaed.
Per the letter, he continued, “2- Yes, impeachment and the 25th amendment are real and many people will quit…”
McEnany reportedly responded “Love that. Thank you. That is the playbook. I will help reinforce…,” though it is unclear what else she may have said.
In another text, Hannity tells McEnany, “No more crazy people,” which she agreed with. “Yes, 100%,” she wrote back. Presumably, the crazy people are Trump’s bumbling legal team of Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell, but their identities are not revealed in the texts.
Following this latest info dump from the House select committee, former Trump Homeland Security adviser Olivia Troye stopped by CNN on Thursday where she told Jake Tapper that it’s “stunning” to see how many people in Trump’s orbit knew the January 6 attack should’ve ended his presidency right then and there.
“I think it is important to get this evidence out there to the American people so that they can see that in the lead up in that situation, with Donald Trump, people knew,” Troye told Tapper via Raw Story. “People knew that this type of action was worthy of impeachment. It was worthy of the 25th Amendment. That these are actual discussions happening with people like Sean Hannity.”
With temperatures plunging and ice, and snow blanketing most of the United States this time of year, a National Park vacation might not be your first thought for a long weekend away. But while most National Parks truly shine brightest in the summer road trip months, there are some absolutely majestic options that can give you that same summer feeling in the dead of winter. And a little respite from the aching cold is certainly deserved right about now, isn’t it?
While it’s not talked about much, I actually believe that there are plenty of National Parks that are better in the winter – with mild temps, fewer crowds, and plenty of that sunshine many of us have been missing. Here are my eight favorite National Parks for escaping winter’s icy grasp:
Death Valley National Park is always my first recommendation for a winter park visit. With temps in the summer that are regularly over 115 degrees, summer is not at all the time you want to be there. Shoulder seasons are great, but winter is really the sweet spot. With temps between 40 and 67 degrees Fahrenheit in January, you can visit this surreal landscape comfortably – and with fewer crowds.
There are nine campgrounds scattered throughout Death Valley. You’ll want to book a spot at Furnace Creek in advance, but otherwise they are first come first serve. The Oasis at Death Valley Resort is a luxury option if you want the best of both worlds.
Everglades National Park is another perfect option for a winter National Park getaway. With January temps averaging between 56 and 77 degrees Fahrenheit, it is the perfect time to visit the 1.5 billion acre wetland preserve.
With over 2,000 species of plants and animals, the Everglades are truly one of a kind. They provide drinking water to most of South Florida and it’s the only place in the world where alligators and crocodiles live together. I loved biking and spotting manatee during my visit – whose population in the park peaks between December and February.
There are two drive-in campgrounds in Everglades National Park, both accessible from the Homestead entrance. Reservations are recommended during the winter months and can be made here. There are also many backcountry sites that are mostly accessible by watercraft and require a permit.
I’ve visited 55 of the major US National Parks solo, and one of the most pleasantly surprising parks of all is one of the lesser known: Saguaro. With two sections, West and East of Tucson, Saguaro feels different from other desert parks I’ve visited. It feels… mystical in some strange way. Named after the unofficial western mascot – the Saguaro Cactus – the largest cacti in the nation, it feels otherworldly.
I first visited in the winter and was happy to be comfortable in shorts and a tank, with January averages between 45 and 60 degrees.
There are just six backcountry camping sites that you must hike to (with a permit) in Saguaro. Luckily, Tucson is a vibrant unique city with tons of short-term rental and hotel options.
Just outside Miami lies a National Park that doesn’t have quite the name recognition of the two others in Florida, but is well worth a visit. Biscayne National Park is 95% water – and is the perfect place for winter boating, canoeing, and snorkeling. With temps hovering between 68 and 76 degrees in January, and without the threat of hurricanes – winter is an ideal time to visit Biscayne.
There are two campgrounds that are first come first serve on Elliott and Boca Chita Keys. The only way to access is by boat – and the fee varies based on just camping or docking and camping. Biscayne is halfway between Miami and the Keys – so there are endless options if camping isn’t your thing.
On the border between Mexico and the US sits one of the most underrated National Parks in the system: Big Bend. Named for the curve in the Rio Grande, it is a remote and wild part of the country. A drive to Big Bend feels like stepping into another universe – and winter is arguably the best time to enter it.
With temperatures ranging between 35 and 68 in January it can feel cooler at night, but blissful during the day.
You can camp at Big Bend in the winter, just keep in mind that temps can get close to freezing at night and reservations are recommended during high season from January to April. You can also find luxury resorts in the area along with plenty of eclectic rentals – I recommend looking in Terlingua!
There are three major National Parks in Florida, and no surprise, they are all perfect for escaping cold winter weather. But if I could visit just one, I would always choose Dry Tortugas – hands down. Just 70 miles off the coast of Key West, it feels like another world entirely.
Catch a ferry boat or seaplane for either a day trip or, for the adventurous, primitive camping on the Garden Key.
What to do:
Explore Fort Jefferson, lounge on the sandy beaches, and snorkel in the pristine blue waters and vibrant coral reef.
Where to stay:
There are right regular sites and overflow camping on Garden Key. They are remote and primitive, but arguably the best spot to stargaze. If you don’t have the gear, there are plenty of options within walking distance from the ferry in Key West.
Volcanoes National Park on the Big Island of Hawaii famously encompasses the summits of two of the world’s most active volcanoes – Mauna Loa and Kīlauea. But there is so much more to this park. Extending from sea level to over 13,000 ft, I found Volcanoes to be incredibly diverse. With ferns, lava tubes, and plenty of trails, there is no shortage of activities at this park.
With temperatures in winter averaging between 65 and 70 degrees, it is the perfect time to visit this tropical paradise.
At the intersection of two distinct ecosystems lies Joshua Tree National Park. Just a 2 hour drive from LA, the park is legendary – and for good reason. Encompassing the Colorado and Mojave deserts, Joshua Tree feels like a visit to another planet. The twisting Joshua Trees, unique rock formations, ample hiking, and temps between 48-65 degrees make this a perfect winter escape.
What to do:
Hike on some of the park’s 300 miles of trails (try Ryan Mountain or Barker Dam), visit the curiously shaped Skull Rock, climb on one of the 8,000 established rock climbing routes, watch the sunset at the Cholla Cactus Garden, and stay later for some of the best stargazing in the US.
Where to stay:
There are over 500 campsites at Joshua Tree – 5 campgrounds are reservation only, while 3 are first come first serve. There is also ample Bureau of Land Management land nearby to camp on, and an endless supply of IG-worthy vacation rentals in the area.
Windjammers 2 arrived on Thursday with a whole lot of anticipation. The original Windjammers is a cult classic arcade game that saw resurgence through emulators and ports, with many people enjoying the intense air hockey-like play style. The original got so popular at one point that it had a short run at major esports tournaments like EVO.
Of course, before even diving into whether it lives up to the standard set by the original, we first need to figure out if this is a game that is worth playing. Here’s what we think.
What is Windjammers 2?
Windjammers 2 is, at its most basic level, the most intense game of air hockey ever. Of course, there’s way more depth to it with special moves, character stats, and level variety, but the goal for most players is to take a flying disc and either stick it in the goal of your opponent or drop it to their side of the field. This concept is maxed out to an extreme in Windjammers 2 with a style that makes every match feel as intense as a winner take all contest with your best friend at the arcade. Every shot, reaction, and super move feels important, and even the slightest mistake can lead to not only the loss of volley, but an entire set.
What makes Windjammers 2 different from a round of air hockey is how points are scored. The goal is to reach 15 before the opponent in each set. However, the way points are scored varies from map to map. Some maps will reward the player with three points for hitting a disc into the corner of the goal, five for landing in the middle, or two for successfully hitting a drop shot. Another map may reward five points for hitting the corners and three for landing in the middle. Some maps feature obstacles like bumpers for bounce shots, while another will hand out scores based on the type of flying disc in play. The variety keeps maps fresh and makes characters feel stronger based on specific maps.
Why You Should Play Windjammers 2
Intense multiplayer action
Unique characters
Fun gameplay
Windjammers 2 is fun. It takes no time at all to get addicted and the arcade mode is going to put up quite a challenge. We recommend that’s where new players start, but eventually, you will need to move into multiplayer, because that’s where this game truly shines. Taking a friend down to the final set with minutes-long volleys is incredibly satisfying … unless you lose, because with how invested you’ll get, you’re going to be heartbroken. Anyone that wants to put their skills to the test can also try out the online mode, but be wary, because some of the online players have already mastered this game.
Why You Should Not Play Windjammers 2
Not very deep
Multiplayer dependent
Skill gap
The downside to a game like this is how dependent it is on its multiplayer mode. Windjammers 2 is at its best with friends or in an online matchup. This leaves single-player options fairly unsatisfying, with only an arcade mode to tackle. The full experience for someone who isn’t playing with a friend can only be achieved via online multiplayer, and that skill gap can be really frustrating. It’s never fun to get annihilated by someone online, and eventually, that is going to be filled with the best of the best while whittling out the casuals. Obviously, the solution to this is to “get good,” but that doesn’t change that it has the chance of driving away more casual players.
Our Take
Windjammers 2 a great game for parties or small tournaments. We tried it on the Switch and found it worth it at its $20 price tag, but if you pat for Game Pass, you and your friends can download it from there.
A code for the Nintendo Switch version of Windjammers 2 was provided to us for review purposes.
Seattle folk-pop band The Head And The Heart not only just announced their fifth album, Every Shade Of Blue, they also unveiled an extensive 2022 North American tour behind the album with support from Dawes, Jade Bird, and Shakey Graves. Along with the album, the band also dropped the sweeping title track along with a video filmed mostly underwater.
“Every Shade Of Blue conveys a spectrum of emotions and how we live with them,” the band said in a statement. “The closer we get, the more shades we see. The more shades we see, the more responsibility we hold. We all want to feel loved and protected. The question is will we be supported and seen by the ones we love In Every Shade Of Blue.”

Bad news, Fugees fans. While news of the New Jersey trio’s reunion tour was met with skepticism due to their longstanding history of inter-group friction, the news that they’ve officially canceled the tour — which they just announced today — still comes as a blow for those who were looking forward to finally seeing Lauryn, Pras, and Wyclef onstage together again for the first time in years.
“We anticipate and understand disappointment but our anniversary tour will not be able to happen,” the announcement reads. “The continued Covid pandemic has made touring conditions difficult, and we want to make sure we keep our fans and ourselves healthy and safe. An idea sparked to honor and celebrate this 25th anniversary of The Score but we see now it may not currently be our time for revisiting this past work. We’re grateful for the special night we got to share with some of you in New York with that rare live moment. If opportunity, public safety, and scheduling allow, we hope to be able to revisit this again sometime soon. THANK YOU for all your love and support throughout the years.”
While the news is certainly disappointing, at least their performance at Global Citizen’s September benefit show at Pier 17 was captured for posterity, giving us all something to watch as we dream of the time COVID-19 isn’t ruining our live entertainment plans.
It has been speculated that on The Weeknd’s new album Dawn FM, he sings about his reported relationship with Angelina Jolie on “Here We Go… Again.” While that’s all just hearsay at this point, what’s not a rumor is that he name-drops Scream actress Neve Campbell on the tune, as he sings, “My new girl, she a movie star / I loved her right, make her scream like Neve Campbell.” When Campbell first caught wind of the shout-out, though, she didn’t exactly know what was going on.
Campbell stopped by The Late Late Show earlier this week and James Corden asked her about the Dawn FM mention. After saying it’s “pretty crazy,” she continued, “At first, my publicist told me and she was like, ‘The Weeknd.’ I said, ‘Wait, which weekend, last weekend?’ I had no idea what she was talking about. Then I realized, ‘Oh, the guy who played at the Super Bowl, that guy!’”
Corden responded, “I can only think he’ll be really disappointed if he knows that you described him as the guy from the Super Bowl, given he’s arguably one of the biggest and best-selling artists of his generation.” Through laughter, Campbell said, “I know, I know! I’m just so bad with pop culture.”
