It’s expensive to put a song in a movie or TV show. You gotta pay the artist some serious dough. Most “syncs” are anywhere from $15-$60k. But this song is bar far one of the most expensive, and you’ve definitely heard it before. The answer is- AC/DC’s ‘Thunderstruck.’ It was used in a lot of movies but broke a record for most expensive when Varsity Blues used it 20 years ago. It wouldn’t be the same scene without THAT song though.

Reading List: “None Of This Rocks” from Fall Out Boy’s guitarist Joe Trohman
Fall Out Boy’s lead guitarist Joe Trohman is releasing a book this fall called, “None Of This Rocks.” He promises it will be like no other memoir you’ve ever read. A summary of the book via Waterstones reads: “None Of This Rocks is a memoir by Joe Trohman – lead guitarist and co-founder of Fall Out Boy – that reads like a double album full of revealing stories from his youth and his experiences of modern rock and roll stardom. With wit and wisdom, and maybe a little bit of whining, Trohman grapples with depression, his mother’s brain cancer, antisemitism, pills, petty larceny, side hustles, and pop-punk at the turn of the century.” The book will be available September 13th.

Taylor Hawkins rockin’ tribute!
The Rockin’ 1000 is a group of musicians (mostly from Italy) who assemble and play/sing simultaneously at various public spaces. A few weeks ago, the “biggest band in the world” returned with this tribute to the late Taylor Hawkins staged in a public square in Turin, Italy.
You may recall this 2015 viral video when the Rockin’ 500 gathered to entice the Foo Fighters to play their corner of Italy in Cesena. (The Foo Fighters did play a three hour concert there in November 2015)
You need to hear what ‘Lose Yourself’ would sound like if Linkin Park sang it
Hear me out: what if we take one of the greatest songs of all-time and combine it with one of the greatest bands of all-time. That’s a pretty good combination, right?
Enjoy your new song of the summer, from us, your friends at Brian, Ali, & Justin.
Whose Karen Is It?
This week’s Karen HATES music! Who hates music?! This one does…
You can buy the smashed Noel Gallagher guitar from the night that Oasis broke up
Oasis broke up on 2009 after Noel and Liam Gallagher got into one of their massive fights. Supposedly, Liam broke Noel’s Gibson ES-355. They were supposed to play a show in Paris but Liam stormed out of the dressing room, twice. First he threw a plum at the wall- scary! Then he came back and smashed Noel’s guitar up after banging it against the ground, several times. He was really trying to send a message. The guitar was one of Noel’s favorites. You can now buy this guitar in an auction hosted by Artpeges Gallery. The starting price? Around $160,000… pocket change right?

What should McDonald’s bring back?!
McDonald’s recently tweeted “Bring back ____” and people are weighing in on the question. Some people are speculating that they’re about to bring something back. But here are some of the most common answers…
McPIZZA- It was around in the 80’s and some of the 90’s. It seems kind of unlikely that they’d bring that back, so many places do pizza better.
BTS Meal- Yes, the Korean boy band. At least the sauces were good, Cajun and sweet chilli to dip in the 10 McNuggets that came with it.
All Day Breakfast- They stopped when COVID hit. Now only some places do it.
What will they bring back…?

Most of us have called and hung up to see what would happen, this dude had a full on conversation, until mom found out! Watch!
A wrestling gender reveal is by the far the best kind of gender reveal
They’re doing the gender reveal right! In the battle of GIRL VS BOY who will in this ultimate smack down? No one gets hurt, well, not really because it’s fake right? 😉 Hats off to the couple that came up with this stellar idea. A lot of gender reveals go wrong, but this is probably the best idea thus far. If all gender reveals were like this; I wouldn’t have a problem with them anymore.
