Listen to Foo Fighters new single Waiting On A War – NME

Foo Fighters have released their latest single, ‘Waiting On A War’ – you can hear the new song below. The track is the latest to be taken from the band’s upcoming tenth studio album ‘Medicine At Midnight’, which is set for release on February 5. Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl shared some words about the wider meaning behind the track in a statement that was first released by the band yesterday (January 13). “As a child growing up in the suburbs of Washington D.C., I was always afraid of war,” he wrote. “I had nightmares of missiles in the sky and soldiers in my backyard, most likely brought upon by the political tension of the early 1980’s and my proximity to the Nation’s Capitol. My youth was spent under the dark cloud of a hopeless future.” 'Waiting On A War' out now. 🖤Liste...

Aaron Rodgers has just 89 picks in 6,587 passes — and he hates every one of them – ESPN

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- It's not an arduous task to watch all of Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers' career interceptions. There are only 89 of them over 16 NFL regular seasons, and the technology is readily available. There's one, however, that seems to have escaped the permanence of NFL Game Pass (whose archives only go back to 2009), ESPN.com's own video database and even the infinitude of YouTube. It's career interception No. 7 from way back in 2008, Rodgers' first season as a starter. No need for video, however, when Rodgers can describe exactly how former Chicago Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher got him. 2 Related"He duped me," Rodgers recalled for ESPN on New Year's Eve as he drove home from Lambeau Field. "He kind of no-looked me. He looked like he was going to come down, and ...

As WandaVision arrives, Marvel Studios is about to enter a never-ending cycle – The Verge

If Marvel Studios has its way, people will get a new entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe nearly every week. Everything starts with WandaVision. Marvel’s new nine-episode show, which follows Elizabeth Olsen’s Wanda Maximoff and Paul Bettany’s Vision living out an absurd suburban life in an alternate universe, kicks off on January 15th. Two episodes will premiere, with new episodes releasing every week for the rest of the season. Just two weeks after WandaVision ends, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier will arrive. It’s then three weeks until Black Widow hits theaters (unless it’s delayed again) and Loki lands on Disney Plus. By the time Loki ends, it’ll be time for Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. You get the picture. Before Disney Plus launched, Marvel Studios sole...
