The amazing “Weird Al” Yankovic strikes again! In true Weird Al fashion, he’s gifted fans with four simultaneous takes of his 2014 parody masterpiece “Tacky,” set to Pharrell’s “Happy.” “It’s come to my attention that this video is no longer available anywhere else on the internet, so I’ve decided to upload it here!” he shared. Shot in six takes, the official video famously used the sixth—but these alternate versions are a delightful glimpse into his comedic genius (and his famous friends like Aisha Tyler, Margaret Cho, Eric Stonestreet, Kristen Schaal, and Jack Black.)
SiriusXM Launches “Women’s Empowerment Network” Podcast, Executive Produced by Karen Hunter
SiriusXM today announced the launch of the Women’s Empowerment Network, a new podcast network executive produced by SiriusXM Urban View host and Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Karen Hunter. Launching on Monday, December 9, the Women’s Empowerment Network will debut with two new podcasts, with more original content set to premiere in the coming months.
Available on the SiriusXM app and all other major podcast platforms, The Women’s Empowerment Network will offer a wide variety of new original shows, which will feature interviews with influential women from various industries and backgrounds, self-improvement tips, financial advice, mental health discussions, and more news relevant to women’s lives and careers. The network will also spotlight stories of resilience, activism, entrepreneurship, and community, with a focus on uplifting women in all walks of life.
Among the first podcasts to premiere under the network is “Karen Hunter Is Awesome!”, a daily podcast where Hunter dives deep into a wide range of thought-provoking topics. In what she considers a companion piece to her regular Urban View radio show, Hunter will challenge her listeners in new ways, covering everything from Bible prophecy to the purpose of race, and even the latest TV shows and movies, while still delivering her signature blend of intellect and candidness.
Also launching on December 9 is “Financially Speaking,” a daily podcast designed specifically to help women navigate the complex and evolving financial landscape. Hosted by a team of renowned financial experts, including Dr. Tonya Evans (cryptocurrency and intellectual property), Dr. Tisa Silver Canady (financial wellness and student loan debt eradication), Jacquette Timmons (financial behaviorist), and Ruchi Pinniger (financial coach and founder of Watch Her Prosper), this podcast will offer listeners practical advice and insights to help them make informed financial decisions and build lasting wealth.
“The Women’s Empowerment Network is a destination where women can come together and be heard in ways that are authentic, uplifting, and transformative,” said Karen Hunter. “I’ve always believed in the power of women supporting each other, and I’m excited to have this new platform where we can rise together.”
“Karen has a great talent for identifying emerging voices and building communities through audio,” said Dave Gorab, Vice President and General Manager of SiriusXM’s Talk Programming. “I’m excited to see Karen’s vision for a new podcast network thrive while it has a meaningful impact on all who listen.”
In addition to her new podcast, Hunter will continue to host “The Karen Hunter Show” weekdays from 3-6pm ET on Urban View channel 126.
Among her many accomplishments, Hunter is the author of several New York Times bestsellers, including Confessions of a Video Vixen, On the Down Low, and Wendy’s Got the Heat. She is also an assistant professor in the Film & Media Department at Hunter College.

The War and Treaty Announce New Album ‘Plus One’ And 2025 Tour
Today, The War And Treaty, who have been hailed as “one of the most exciting live acts in American roots music” (Los Angeles Times), announced their fourth full-length album, Plus One, due out February 14 via Mercury Nashville. On Plus One, the “powerhouse” (TODAY) husband and wife duo, Michael and Tanya Trotter, double down on the powerful sense of togetherness that has always fueled their music, offering up 18 life-affirming songs aimed at providing a shared experience of hope and healing and much-needed joy. Pre-order the album HERE and listen to “Carried Away” HERE.
“We see this record as an open invitation to be a part of what we’re doing—it came from wanting to be the hope we believe people need right now, as well as the hope that we need for ourselves,” Tanya Trotter shares. “One of our main intentions with this album is to inspire people to share themselves with others, and open themselves up to the possibility of being loved,” Michael Trotter Jr. shares.
Mainly produced by Michael and recorded at the legendary FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, Plus One marks The War And Treaty’s follow-up to Lover’s Game—a 2023 LP including standout track “Blank Page” which nabbed a GRAMMY nomination for Best American Roots Song, with The War And Treaty nominated for Best New Artist. To create their most extravagant body of work to date, the duo enlisted their longtime live band and dreamed up a singular sound touched with elements of gospel, bluegrass, contemporary country, classic soul, symphonic pop, folk-rock, and more. Partly made in collaboration with esteemed producers like Jonathan Singleton (Luke Combs, Chase Rice), John Shanks (Stevie Nicks, Sheryl Crow), and Jesse Frasure (Jelly Roll, Kelsea Ballerini), the result is a transcendent album firmly rooted in their timeless musicality and forward-thinking vision.
The track listing’s myriad high points include “Love Like Whiskey,” a soul-soothing portrait of a love strong enough to overcome any obstacle, co-written by the Trotters and Miranda Lambert; the wildly ecstatic “Called You By Your Name,” a breakneck-paced rallying cry influenced by the Black gospel tradition of shout music; “Drink From Me,” featuring virtuoso guitarist Billy Strings; “Leads Me Home,” which they performed on LIVE with Kelly and Mark; “Stealing a Kiss,” which they performed on Jimmy Kimmel Live!; “Can I Get An Amen,” which they performed at the People’s Choice Country Awards; and “Carried Away,” out today.
Since first lighting up the world with their fusion of country and soul, The War And Treaty have steadily built a legacy as one of the most iconic husband-and-wife duos in music history. In the last few years alone, Michael Trotter Jr. and Tanya Trotter’s phenomenal talent and daring originality have led to major milestones. In addition to the GRAMMYs, the duo has received nominations from the Academy of Country Music, Country Music Association, CMT Music Awards, Americana Honors & Awards, and the People’s Choice Country Awards, and have taken home the Duo/Group of the Year prize at the Americana Music Honors & Awards two years in a row.
The War And Treaty has been hot on the road this year, performing with Chris Stapleton and Zach Bryan on a variety of tour dates, as well as an opening slot with The Rolling Stones. They have also performed on NBC Macy’s Fourth of July Special, at the National Memorial Day Parade, and recently performed at the 98th Annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.
In March, they are set to embark on the Plus One Tour, a 30+ city tour that will continue bringing their electrifying live show to fans across the US. The tour will see the duo perform at a number of iconic venues across the country, including New York City’s Irving Plaza, The Howard Theatre in DC, The Troubadour in Los Angeles, The Kessler Theater in Dallas, and more. The tour kicks off on March 26 in Minneapolis, Minn. and will conclude on June 19 in Bristol, Tenn. General ticket on-sale opens next Friday, December 13 at 10AM local time.

PEARL JAM Announces 2025 U.S. Tour Dates
In continued support of their three-times-Grammy-nominated album “Dark Matter”, PEARL JAM will be touring select U.S. cities in April and May 2025.
PEARL JAM’s live dates will start in Hollywood, Florida on April 24 and 26 and wrap with performances in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on May 16 and 18. Full tour dates are listed below.
Support acts for these dates will be announced in the coming weeks.
Tickets for these concerts will be available two ways:
* A Ten Club members-only presale for all dates begins today. Only paid Ten Club members active as of 11:59 p.m. PT on December 4, 2024 are eligible to participate in this presale. More info at pearljam.com.
* Public tickets will be available through an Artist Presale hosted by Ticketmaster. Fans can sign up for presale access for up to five concert dates now through Tuesday, December 10 at 10 a.m. PT. The presale starts Friday, December 13 at 10 a.m. local time.
PEARL JAM strives to protect access to fairly priced tickets by providing the majority of tickets to Ten Club members, making tickets non-transferable as permitted, and selling approximately 10% of tickets through PJ Premium to offset increased costs. PEARL JAM continues to use all-in pricing and the ticket price shown includes service fees. Any applicable taxes will be added at checkout.
For fans unable to use their purchased tickets, PEARL JAM and Ticketmaster will offer a Fan-to-Fan Face Value Ticket Exchange for every city, starting at a later date. To sell tickets through this exchange, you must have a valid bank account or debit card in the United States. Tickets listed above face value on secondary marketplaces will be canceled. To help protect the Exchange, PEARL JAM has also chosen to make tickets for this tour mobile only and restricted from transfer. For more information about the policy issues in ticketing, visit fairticketing.com.
PEARL JAM is an alternative rock band formed in Seattle, Washington in 1990. The band’s lineup consists of bassist Jeff Ament, rhythm guitarist Stone Gossard, lead guitarist Mike McCready, lead singer/guitarist Eddie Vedder and drummer Matt Cameron. Thirty plus years of live performances, twelve studio albums and hundreds of official live concert bootleg releases later, PEARL JAM continues to be critically acclaimed and commercially successful. The band has sold over 85 million albums worldwide and was inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in 2017. Their 2024 twelfth studio album release, “Dark Matter”, is currently nominated for three Grammys.
Since the earliest days, PEARL JAM has used its platform to elevate people and causes that often go unnoticed or underserved. Much of the band’s philanthropic work is accomplished through its Vitalogy Foundation which to date has raised more than $50 million for organizations supporting issues such as abortion access, climate change and homelessness, and drawing attention to the fight against diseases such as Crohn’s and ulcerative colitis and epidermolysis bullosa (EB). In addition to the money Vitalogy donates, the band also donates signed instruments, posters and merchandise to organizations to use for their own fundraising purposes. Compounding the impact of Vitalogy Foundation, the band has supported Jeff Ament’s Montana Pool Service building skate parks in Montana and South Dakota. PEARL JAM also lends its voice to notable causes like the West Memphis 3, voting rights and fair ticketing practices. Over the past three decades, the band has a long history of standing up for what it believes in and putting its resources behind those beliefs.
Through its innovative Ten Club and fan engagement, community building, coveted poster designs, and longstanding activism and philanthropy, PEARL JAM continues to have a lasting impact on generations of music lovers.

The official trailer for the “Brotherhood Of Rock” tour can be seen below.
STYX and Kevin Cronin (as part of REO SPEEDWAGON) first toured together in 2000 and in 2001 after the 9/11 attacks, they came together to form the Rock To The Rescue 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, which still collects donations for local charities at every stop on STYX’s ongoing tour.
General tickets for the trek, produced by Live Nation, will go on sale starting Friday, December 13 at 10 a.m. local time on LiveNation.com. STYX and Kevin Cronin will be offering VIP packages via their own exclusive pre-sales beginning Tuesday, December 10 at 10 a.m. local time, as well as at LiveNation.com.
Citi is the official card of the “Brotherhood Of Rock” tour. Citi cardmembers will have access to presale tickets in the U.S. beginning December 9 at 10 a.m. local time through the Citi Entertainment program.

STYX singer/guitarist Tommy Shaw says: “The winter of 1975 I had returned home to Montgomery, Alabama after accepting the fact that there was very little, if any, interest from club owners for seven-piece rock bands who played their original songs (some of which were 10 minutes long),and we’d finally accepted the reality that people wanted disco music hits to dance to. A musician friend from home called me about a steady gig he and two other local musician friends had in the lounge of the local bowling alley. There was no dance floor, only tables and chairs, and they were playing music from bands like THE EAGLES, Dan Fogelberg, etc. and singing three-part harmony to locals who were loving it and not wanting to dance. And a steady weekly paycheck! I joined them and spent the rest of that year playing whatever we liked, bought a modest house, bought a used car, and was relieved to be off the road after two years of night club managers who wanted us to play disco. Thinking I’d found a secure life in my hometown, I got a call from a guy named Jim Vosecek, who’d introduced himself to me and the band at a club in Chicago. He explained that he was tour manager of the rock band STYX, that they had just released a new album called ‘Equinox’, and they were scheduled to embark on their first national tour when a member suddenly quit and left the band. He said to get on the plane they’d booked and come audition. Arriving at O’Hare airport, I met Kevin Cronin who was returning to rejoin his band, REO SPEEDWAGON. It was the beginning of a lifelong friendship that finds us back on the road together, this time under much different circumstances! The ‘Brotherhood Of Rock’ is stronger than ever!”
Cronin says: “I remember seeing Tommy’s seven-piece funk/rock band at the Rush Up club in Chicago, during my mid-’70s REO hiatus, and then bumping into him at O’Hare Airport a few weeks later,” remembers Kevin Cronin. “In no time I was back in REO SPEEDWAGON and Tommy had become the newest member of STYX. REO and STYX dominated the Billboard charts in 1981 with ‘Hi Infidelity’ and ‘Paradise Theatre’, but for reasons unknown we had never toured together. So in the year 2000, Tommy and I decided to give it a shot. The ‘Arch Allies’ tour was a smashing success, and a life-long friendship was formed. Now, here we are 25 years later, having always had each other’s back, and psyched for our bands to join forces once again for the ‘Brotherhood Of Rock’ tour. A lot has changed since that chance encounter at the airport in 1975, but our brotherhood has only become stronger through the years, as the songs of STYX and REO SPEEDWAGON have found a place in the hearts and souls of people all across America.”
Felder says: “I’m so excited to be hitting the road this summer with my friends STYX and Kevin Cronin. It’s such a great lineup full of hit songs and lots of rock and roll!!! We have so much fun together both on stage and off stage that it’s hard to find a more wonderful combination of great music and great friends. This is one show you won’t want to miss. See you soon.”
