"Call Me Lochte" Ryan Lochte-Michael Phelps Parody [VIDEO]

Ryan Lochte beat Michael Phelps in the 400-Meter Individual Medley and surprised most of the U.S. since casual swimming fans didn’t know how great Lochte has become.

Lochte and Phelps only took the silver medal this afternoon in the 400-Meter Freestyle Relay, so I hope this funny parody video of Carley Rae Jepsen’s “Call Me Maybe” cheers you up.

“Call Me Lochte” is an entertaining parody and I hope you enjoy it.

Black Lips Pay Homage to Iconic Baseball Mascot [VIDEO]

Chief Noc-A-Homa was the super racist mascot for the Atlanta Braves from the 1950s until 1986. He was beloved by fans and best known for emerging from a tepee in the bleachers to rally the hometown crowd.

Black Lips is a band from Atlanta and wanted to pay homage to the former mascot. “Noc-A-Homa” is their song about the former Braves mascot. The video depicts a present-day Chief Noc-A-Homa who has fallen down on his luck. He enacts his revenge for being humiliated for years. Continue reading →

"The Dark Knight Rises": Would Hines Ward’s TD Count in Fantasy Football?

“The Dark Knight Rises” opens today and I’ll be one of the many people who will pack in a movie theater to watch this instant classic…but there’s something in the movie trailer that made me very curious.

First, why is Hines Ward in this movie (seriously). Secondly, would his touchdown count in fantasy football?

I know what you’re thinking, “Wow, Bobby…you really have fantasy football on your brain.” It’s true, I’ve been working on a lot of fantasy material for the site, but it’s a legitimate question.

Gotham is full of some sketchy characters. You know that sports gambling is rampant. Fantasy football has to be a multi-billion dollar industry in the DC Universe.

In our universe, we get mad when Brian Westbrook takes a knee at the goal line.

Let’s examine the photo of Ward’s touchdown. He has crossed the plane and clearly has possession. The only problem is that he is the only remaining player from either team not sucked down the sinkhole. I’m going to go out on a limb and say that the game would be cancelled due to neither team being able to field a full team…oh, and the field is no longer there.

The touchdown wouldn’t count. The game wouldn’t be official since it didn’t last all four quarters.

This may cause a major uproar in the local Gotham City Fantasy Football League, but maybe Batman help settle the issue (you know, after he’s finished saving the city from being completely destroyed by Bane and Catwoman).

If you haven’t seen the trailer for “The Dark Knight Rises”, I’ve embedded it below.

Mumford & Sons Announce New Album, ‘Babel’

Mumford & Sons announced that their highly anticipated sophomore album, “Babel,” will be released on September 25th and include twelve songs.

The album will be produced by Markus Dravs, who worked with them on their debut album and has worked with Arcade Fire in the past.

Even though they toured for three years on the success of “Sigh No More”, I’m surprised they had enough time to churn out a new album. They have been extremely busy.

I have the track listing for “Babel” along with a live version of “Whispers In The Dark”, which will appear on “Babel”…it’s all after the jump.

Babel
Whispers In The Dark
I Will Wait
Holland Road
Ghosts That We Knew
Lover Of The Light
Lovers’ Eyes
Reminder
Hopeless Wanderer
Broken Crown
Below My Feet
Not With Haste

“Babel” is said to be a darker album with no singles that pop out. They wanted to make an album that is solid throughout and had a natural progression. They told Rolling Stone that fans will not be disappointed with the updated sound.

They kick off their U.S. tour on August 1st in Hoboken, NJ. If you want a full list of their tour dates, visit the band’s website.

Here is a live recording of “Whispers in the Dark”, which will be the second track on “Babel.”

Breaking Bad: Comic-Con Season Five Trailer

Season five of AMC’s “Breaking Bad” is set to debut on July 15th. The San Diego Comic-Con debuted the trailer preview for the season…and it looks amazing!

If you haven’t watched the show before, this trailer is filled with spoilers from season four. It doesn’t show any new plot twists from the upcoming season. I am anxiously awaiting this season.

New Music: Bloc Party – "Octopus"

I love this time of the year. The summer weather is in full swing and great new music begins to leak in advance of the late summer/early fall releases.

I have been a fan of Bloc Party since “Silent Alarm” came out in 2005. The the two releases that followed didn’t live up to their debut, but after listening to “Octopus”, I’m excited about their upcoming album, “Four”.

“Octopus” sounds like it could have been a B-side from “Silent Alarm” recording session. I love that they went back to guitar-driven music, which was lost in the last two albums that focused on a more electric sound.

Bloc Party’s new album, “Four”, comes out August 21st with a U.S. tour starting on September 14th.

The music video for “Octopus” is after the jump…

Ric Flair to Appear at ICP’s "Gathering of the Juggalos"

Ric Flair is the most famous heel in professional wrestling history, but he’s currently out of a job. TNA Wrestling recently parted ways with him.

At 63, his professional wrestling options are limited. WWE and TNA find themselves in the middle of a legal battle and WWE is currently staying away from “The Nature Boy” until that calms down.

In major need of a paycheck, Flair has agreed to appear at the Insane Clown Posse’s yearly “Gathering of the Juggalos” from August 8th – 12th in Cave-in-Rock, Illinois. Continue reading →

Robert Kraft Helps Girlfriend Audition For Movie [VIDEO]

New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft is seen here helping his girlfriend audition for a Vince Vaughn movie. Ricki Lander isn’t officially Kraft’s girlfriend, but no ‘friend’ would humiliate themselves like this. I’m certain that he didn’t expect this video to be public, but I’m glad it happened...I was expecting Jeff Saturday to come into the shot and hug him. #CreepyOldMan

[Video Has Been Blocked by Kraft’s Lawyers]

I will be searching for another video of this audition to post.

Until then, here’s a picture of Robert Kraft picking his nose.

New Music: Band of Horses – "Knock Knock"

Yesterday, Band of Horses posted a video for a new song called “Knock Knock”. It is their first single off their upcoming album “Mirage Rock”. It will be released on September 18th, 2012.

This is not the first time I have posted something about Band of Horses and this will not be the last. Their last two albums have been amazing. If you’re an indie music fan, you need to check it out.

I have yet to seem the live, but I know many people who have and they sing praises about the experience. They will be on tour this summer/fall to support the album.

Check out the video for “Knock Knock” after the jump…

Sweetbob’s Hipster Music – July 2012

I keep an ear out for new music. I got used to always receiving or finding out about new bands when I was a music journalist. Even though this is mostly a sports blog, I still add quite a bit of music and pop culture. Everyone likes music, even Pittsburgh Steelers fans, right?!

(Maybe? I’m not sure if they have evolved enough to understand the concept of 4/4 time.)

I have been called a hipster on more than one occasion. I tend to like indie music more than any other genre of music. Don’t get me wrong, I can rock out to Bon Jovi or Carley Rae Jepsen (depending on the amount of alcohol in my system).

I’ve decided to write a monthly post dedicated to introducing 10 great, new indie songs I’m currently listening to. Your ears will thank you for clicking this post.

Enjoy! Continue reading →

Jack’s Mannequin covers Bob Dylan’s "Mr. Tambourine Man"

Bob Dylan’s “Mr. Tambourine Man” is one of my all-time favorite songs. It’s a simple song that has more honesty in it than Abraham Lincoln had in his entire body. I am always skeptical when an artist attempts to cover this track, but Jack’s Mannequin knocked it out of the park. I highly suggest you listen to this cover and I predict that you will even give it a ‘like’ on YouTube.

Today is the last day of June, so it means that this will be our last post during ‘Cover Song Month‘. If you are curious to see which songs we’ve selected this month, click here.
