YUNGBLUD has released official footage of his performance of ‘Zombie’ alongside The Smashing Pumpkins’ Billy Corgan earlier this year.
The pair took to the stage together at a Lollapalooza pre-show at The Riviera Theatre, ahead of Dom performing and Billy headlining across the weekend.
The collaboration was officially released as 2025 turned into 2026, and serves as a melding of different eras of rock history in a beautifully affecting manner. And when the pair are on stage together, there is a clear sense of respect as well as a potent stream of energy. It allows the song to feel all the more beautifully affecting and deeply poignant.
It is also the only time the pair have performed the song together, so it feels even more special as a result.

Eddie 9V has released his new single, “Satisfy The Way I Do,” from his forthcoming album Down Here, due November 6 via Easy Eye Sound. The Atlanta-born singer, songwriter, and guitarist has also announced an extensive U.S. headline tour for early 2027.
Produced by Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys, “Satisfy The Way I Do” was originally written and demoed in Eddie 9V’s home studio before being reworked during the album sessions. Auerbach helped develop the song’s hook, while the two musicians drew inspiration from their shared appreciation for Derek and the Dominos’ “Layla.”
“Another song I wrote and demoed in my home studio. Working with Dan was key—he smoothly came up with the hook I needed. This song makes me feel like I’m driving in a ’65 Mustang through the Hollywood Hills,” says Eddie 9V.
The single follows previously released songs “Whole Lot Coming For You,” a cover of George McCrae’s “Rock Your Baby,” and “Blowin’ Up,” which has climbed to No. 22 on Billboard’s Triple A chart.
Recorded at Easy Eye Sound Studios in Nashville, Down Here features 12 songs recorded in less than a week. Eddie 9V collaborated with Auerbach, Marcus King, Pat McLaughlin, and Daniel Tashian on the project, which incorporates elements of blues, Southern rock, country, gospel, folk, and R&B.
The recording process marked a change for Eddie 9V, who had previously handled much of the production work on his albums himself.
“It was fast and fluid. Dan really knows how to push me,” Eddie 9V says. “Realistically, it was also the first time where I was able to be an artist rather than to have to act like a producer, too, and think of everything else.”
Down Here follows Eddie 9V’s previous albums Little Black Flies (2021), Capricorn (2023), and Saratoga (2024).
The new release comes after a busy year that included a month-long tour supporting The Black Keys and an appearance with the band on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
Eddie 9V will continue touring throughout the remainder of 2026 before beginning his newly announced U.S. headline tour on January 15 in Greenville, South Carolina. The tour will run through February 27 in Denver, Colorado.
Additional headline performances in the United Kingdom and Europe are scheduled for 2027.

The first weeks after buying a house are better spent finding problems than choosing new paint colors.
A leaking pipe, faulty outlet, blocked gutter or dead smoke alarm can cause damage long before an outdated kitchen becomes a real problem. New owners also need to know where the shutoffs, electrical panel and major equipment are before something fails.
Cosmetic work can wait. Safety, water, electricity, drainage and basic maintenance come first.
1. Change the Locks
ANSI/BHMA lock grades indicate how well a lock performs in durability, strength, and security testing.
A buyer receives keys at closing, but there is no reliable way to know how many copies existed before the sale.
Previous owners may have given keys to relatives, cleaners, contractors, neighbors or tenants. Rekeying the exterior locks removes that uncertainty without necessarily replacing every lockset.
Garage door remotes need the same attention. Reset the opener and delete old transmitters from its memory rather than assuming every remote was handed over.
Security cameras, alarm systems, video doorbells and smart locks should also move to new accounts. Old access codes and connected users can remain active after ownership changes if nobody removes them.
2. Find the Main Water Shutoff, Electrical Panel and Gas Controls
A burst pipe is a bad time to start searching for the main shutoff.
Locate the main water valve and identify the smaller shutoffs under sinks and behind toilets. Anyone living in the house should know where the main valve is and how it operates.
The electrical panel deserves a proper check too. Old handwritten labels can become inaccurate after years of renovations, so identifying the circuits now saves time during a fault or repair.
Homes supplied with natural gas or propane also have fuel controls. Work on gas equipment belongs with qualified professionals, but owners should still know where the relevant controls are located.
Emergency responders may need quick access to utility controls, so keeping their locations marked on a household floor plan can save valuable time.
3. Check the Bathroom for Leaks Before Thinking About a Remodel
Old tile can stay for another year. Water escaping behind it should not.
Check around the toilet base, vanity, bathtub, shower enclosure and visible plumbing connections. Soft flooring, swollen trim, peeling paint, stains and a persistent damp smell deserve investigation.
Toilets can leak without leaving an obvious puddle. Faucets and supply connections can also lose water slowly enough to escape notice during a home viewing. The EPA says household leaks can waste thousands of gallons of water each year.
Run the shower, bathtub and sinks long enough to check drainage. One slow fixture may point to a local blockage. Problems affecting several fixtures can indicate an issue deeper in the drainage system.
A plumber should handle concealed leaks, recurring drain backups, damaged pipes or work that requires opening walls or floors. Fixing the source of the problem comes before replacing fixtures for appearance.
Homeowners who need professional help can search for a plumber in their area and compare the services available locally.
Mineral deposits around pipe joints can indicate a history of slow leaks, even when the connection appears dry.
4. Test Every Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm
An alarm attached to the ceiling is not proof that it still works.
Test every smoke and carbon monoxide alarm after moving in. Check the manufacture date as well, since alarms have a limited service life even if the test button still produces a sound.
Placement deserves attention after renovations. A previous owner may have changed the layout of the house without updating the alarm locations.
Replacing a battery is useful only when the alarm itself is still within its intended service period.
5. Deal With Electrical Problems Before Adding Decorative Lighting
Older electrical boxes may not be rated to support heavy fixtures or ceiling fans, even when the wiring is in good condition.
New pendant lights can wait if an outlet is loose in the wall or a switch becomes warm during use.
Operate the lights, ceiling fans and accessible switches throughout the house. Look for cracked outlets, damaged faceplates, loose fittings and signs of previous improvised repairs.
Bathrooms, kitchens, garages and exterior areas deserve particular attention because electrical equipment sits close to water or weather exposure.
If breakers trip repeatedly, lights flicker unexpectedly or an outlet behaves inconsistently, a licensed electrician should inspect the system before more appliances or fixtures are added.
The home inspection report can already contain useful electrical notes. Read it again after closing instead of treating it as a document that served only the purchase negotiation.
6. Give the Heating and Cooling System a Baseline Check
A heavily clogged furnace filter can increase resistance to airflow, forcing the blower motor to work harder and potentially increasing energy consumption.
The first very hot or cold week should not be the first time the HVAC system gets serious attention.
Start with the air filter. Record its size, condition and replacement date so future maintenance has a clear starting point.
Run the heating and cooling systems long enough to confirm that air reaches the expected rooms and that the thermostat responds correctly. Repeated cycling, unusual noise, weak airflow or water around indoor equipment deserves investigation.
Locate the condensate drain and outdoor equipment too. Blocked drainage, heavy debris or vegetation around the outdoor unit can interfere with normal operation.
Keep any service records that came with the house. Model numbers, installation dates and previous repairs are useful when parts or professional service are needed later.
7. Check the Roof, Gutters and Where Rainwater Goes
A roof problem does not always announce itself with water dripping into a room.
Ceiling stains, attic moisture, dark roof decking and damaged insulation can point to previous or active water entry. Missing shingles, damaged flashing and deteriorated material around roof penetrations also deserve attention.
Gutters and downspouts are part of the same system. A clean roof still creates problems if rainwater leaves the downspout beside the foundation.
Watch the property during real rainfall if possible. Overflowing gutters, standing water and runoff moving toward the house are easier to identify during a storm than on a dry afternoon.
Landscaping plans can wait if the immediate job is directing water away from the building.
A 1,000-square-foot roof can collect approximately 600 gallons of water during just one inch of rainfall.
8. Inspect the Basement, Crawlspace and Lower Floors for Moisture
Lower parts of a house can reveal conditions that were easy to miss during a short viewing.
Look for water stains, damaged insulation, condensation, musty odors and evidence of previous flooding. A dehumidifier running constantly when the house was viewed can also deserve a closer look after moving in.
Radon testing belongs on the list when recent reliable results are unavailable. The EPA says testing is the only way to know the radon level in a home and recommends action at 4 picocuries per liter or higher.
Lower floors intended for bedrooms, offices or recreation areas deserve particular attention because people may spend many hours there after moving in.
9. Create One File for the House Before the Paperwork Spreads Everywhere
Storing digital copies of important documents in an encrypted cloud folder provides a backup if paper records are lost or damaged.
Homeownership creates documents quickly.
Keep the closing papers, inspection report, survey, warranties, appliance manuals, contractor invoices and service records in one physical or digital location.
Record model and serial numbers for major appliances and equipment. Photos of expensive possessions and major rooms can also help create a basic home inventory.
Insurance information belongs in the same file, including the policy number and claims contact details.
Keep receipts and invoices for substantial work completed after the purchase. Years later, those records can establish when a roof, furnace, water heater or other major component was repaired or replaced.
10. Separate Repairs From Projects You Simply Want
A newly purchased house can produce a long spending list almost immediately.
The kitchen cabinets feel dated. The bedroom color looks worse without the sellers furniture. The flooring was never your first choice.
None of those problems automatically deserves the first available money.
Grouping home projects by urgency helps homeowners plan their budgets and avoid spending on upgrades while more important maintenance remains unfinished.
Priority
Examples
Deal With First
Active plumbing leak, unsafe wiring, failed lock, roof water entry, broken alarm
Schedule Soon
HVAC service, gutter cleaning, worn sealant, minor drainage work
Can Wait
Paint colors, cabinet finishes, decorative lighting, flooring replaced only for appearance
Living in the house for a few months can also change renovation plans. A room that looked too small during the purchase may work once furniture is arranged differently. Storage that seemed adequate may become the first feature worth redesigning.
Even projects such as soundproofing repairs are easier to prioritize once you understand how the rooms perform in everyday use.
Money not spent immediately on cosmetic work also remains available for the first repair that was impossible to predict before moving in.
Last Words
A home inspection captures the property during a limited period. Daily life provides a different set of information.
Rain exposes drainage problems. A cold night tests the heating system. Morning showers reveal water pressure and drainage. Regular use exposes doors, appliances and electrical fixtures that behave differently than they did during a short viewing.
Keep a running list during the first month and move active damage or safety issues to the top.
Paint, bathroom finishes and cabinet hardware will still be waiting later. Water entering the house, unsafe wiring or a failed alarm deserves attention first.
Once the essential systems are working properly, there is more freedom to focus on comfort, whether that means changing the furniture, improving the lighting or finding ways to enjoy better sound at home without spending a fortune.
