Dave Grohl Begins ‘The Hannukah Sessions’ With An Electric Cover Of Beastie Boys’ ‘Sabotage’
The cover arrives just hours after Grohl announced he would spend the next eight days of Hannukah sharing covers by Jewish artists. …
While many artists have spent the past few weeks preparing their best cover of a number of Christmas season classics, Dave Grohl has opted to spend the next week covering songs by Jewish artists as a way to celebrate Hannukah, which officially began at sunset on Thursday. The Foo Fighters frontperson will share a cover on each of the eight nights of the Jewish holiday as a part of The Hannukah Sessions and he began the series with a performance of Beastie Boys’ “Sabotage” with Greg Kurstin.
The two resorted to what appears to be a fairly small room to debut their performance of the group’s 1994 album Ill Communication. With Grohl on the drums and Kurstin on the keys, the two got busy for the electric performance that kicked off The Hannukah Sessions.
In a tweet that he posted to share the new cover, Grohl said, “As the only Rock and Roll Hall Of Famers with a lyric about kugel, we thought it would be a shanda to not kick off this party with New York’s (and Abraham’s) finest.” He added, “known by some as Shadrach, Meshach, and Abedenego known by their Imas & Abbas as @beastieboys !”
In other news, Dave Grohl and the Foo Fighters also have their own taco. The band teamed up with Casa Vega Restaurant in Sherman Oaks, California for the limited-time-only tacos which launched on December 1. You can watch the duo’s first cover in the video above.

Taylor Swift Strikes Gold on Spotify, 2023 Earnings Skyrocket to Over $100 Million
In a dazzling triumph, Taylor Swift has clinched the title of 2023’s most-streamed artist on Spotify, and the numbers are nothing short of extraordinary. Swift’s musical juggernaut, the Eras tour, launched in March, is on track to rake in a staggering $4 billion. But that’s not all – her Eras concert film, released in October, has globally pocketed an additional $250 million.
The dynamo from Pennsylvania isn’t slowing down; she dropped the deluxe edition of her 2022 LP Midnights in May and unleashed a wave of re-recorded “Taylor’s Versions” across her discography. As the curtain falls on 2023, Swift’s relentless efforts are reaping rewards.
Clocking in an unprecedented 26.1 billion streams on Spotify this year, Swift leaves heavyweights like Drake, The Weeknd, Peso Pluma, and even the reigning streaming king, Bad Bunny, in her wake. Billboard projects a jaw-dropping $101 million from Spotify royalties alone by year-end, surging to a grand total of $131 million with publishing revenue.
Hold onto your seats – these colossal figures don’t even factor in the windfall from other streaming giants like Apple Music, YouTube Music, and Amazon Music. When combined, estimates suggest a mind-boggling 38.3 billion streams, translating to a whopping $200 million in earnings when accounting for both recorded royalties and publishing.
