Tim McIlrath of Rise Against is featured on a new track from AWOLNATION. Which is actually — an old track reworked.
Check it out. Not only is it unique from an audio standpoint, but the visuals that go along with this cover of Midnight Oil’s “Beds Are Burning” put a unique stamp on an important song in The History of Alternative.
My Echo, My Shadow, My Covers & Me from AWOLNATION acted as therapy for Aaron Bruno through the pandemic. The cover album will be out on May 6th.
Dave talks about his book, Studio 666, and does it all while eating wingey. Davey like wingey. A true gentleman, he brought the cocktails since they supplied the chicken. Enjoy this deliciously hot interview.
This news story is the definition of bad timing. One of the most important stories that will happen this year was breaking when they cut to commercial… for Applebee’s? People watching are nervous and want information, now! We understand they have to pay the bills, but the public are definitely not interested in chicken at the moment! It puts a bad taste in your mouth…
Watch this high school basketball player shoot a three, then do this spectacular move. Some people have all the talent. This guy has his own one man celebration on the court and it’s awesome. Check it out!
This expecting mom recorded her man’s reaction when she showed him the picture of the of the THREE babies they were going to have. She doesn’t tell him right away and let’s him process it on his own, because let’s face it, it’s a lot! He’s obviously over the moon and hopefully this is one of the sweetest things you will see today!
Wheel of Fortune contestant Tenaya had a rough go when she had to solve the puzzle. And using the word “solve” is generous because it was almost all filled in for her and she still got it wrong. “_urrassic park _o_ies” is missing three letters. Here’s her answer-
Dave Grohl has finally sat down in the hot seat.
Hot Ones, the dual interview/hot sauce challenge show hosted by Chicago native Sean Evans, claims the Foo Fighters frontman has been the most requested guest, outside of Gordon Ramsey.
Dave brings a challenge of his own to the table — doing shots while they partake in the wings. He also talks about:
Eric Kristensen would never make it past round two or three of Hot Ones — not that he would ever be invited on to the show. Eric is a marginally famous, regional celebrity with 101WKQX who is also on Instagram (@erickristensen)
Once upon a time (and to be fair, more prominently in the last few years as well) — Russia was the undisputed leader of cinema bad guys in the United States.
Current events of the day have you a little — stressed? Something tells me these movies are going to spike on streaming. Take a break from the news and maybe watch one of these pieces of cinema. Here is a list of the Top 10 movies where Russians are the bad guys, listed in no particular order.
Rocky IV (1985)
Ivan Drago. Need we say more?
Miracle (2004)
The U.S. Men’s Hockey Team victory over the Soviets in the 1980 Olympics was nothing short of a….well, you get it.
Air Force One (1994)
“Get off my plane!”
Dr. Strangelove (1964)
The actual title is a little more involved — Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb — and so too is this legendary satirical look at the Cold War at its height. Legendary director (Stanley Kubrick) and legendary comedic actor (Peter Sellers).
Goldeneye (1995)
James Bond and the Russians….name a better duo. Plus, Xenia Onatopp gives me that confusing feeling in my stomach.
John Wick (2014)
The criminal underworld is ripe for cinematic conflicts. It can be the Mob. It can the Yakuza. Or, it can be the Russians. Who know better not to piss off Keanu Reeves.
The Hunt For Red October (1990)
The complicated nature of the late Cold War is captured well in this chess-like thriller in which a Soviet nuclear sub captain may or may not be trying to defect the the United States. You know it’s good when you don’t have to use the actors full names: Connery. Baldwin. And James Earl Jones, who you need all three names to really appreciate.
Red Dawn (1984)
Accept no substitutes for the original — what American teenagers might do if the Soviet Union were to suddenly appear on U.S. soil.
Police Academy 7: Mission To Moscow (1994)
Just kidding. (Seriously, how did we make it to seven movies in this franchise — I was good after number one, and that’s stretching it.)
What happens in Vegas…comes back to the suburbs to bite you.
Does she belong to the streets? The conversation lives on Facebook!
Rarely do we see such serious issues compound over such a juvenile topic. In the case of this week’s Jerk, it is a husband who’s heated by his wife’s decision to make a drastic change in her life.
Is his wife a jerk for “chopping off the twins”? The conversation lives on Facebook!
Ohio reporter Miles Harris got a surprise while doing recording a TV segment, it was his mom. The camera never stopped rolling but you can see him tell the camera man to hold on when he recognized his mom’s car. “HI BABY!” she screams. Adorable. He tells her he’s a little busy at the moment. You’re never too old to be embarrassed by your mother!
At the NBA All-Star weekend, they honored 75 of the best players of all time. Jordan was supposed to be at a NASCAR event, but made the trip at the last minute anyway. And I’m sure he’s happy that he did. He got to GRAB this shot with Vanessa Bryant and singer Mary J. Blige. Now, look closely and you’ll see why this photo is going viral… MJ’s hand on Mary J is “close.” OK?!
This video is the perfect example of how to NOT order at Portillo’s. Salad? Why? Baptized? HECK YES! And if you make any mention of ketchup on your Chicago dog, you might as well take yourself out of the state right now. Don’t make the same mistake this man did! And yes, you want the cake shake.
Coldplay recently covered Kid Cudi’s “Day N Nite.” Chris Martin says that it’s the first time that they’ve had time to record a proper cover. He loved the song when it first came out in 2008 and always had a vision of what it could sound like with more piano. He hopes that anyone listening to it will just think, ” Wow Kid Cudi is amazing.”

A lot more people are jumping on the trend of “your favorite song in the style of,” which is always an interesting exercise in…..WTF?!?
“Mr. Brightside” from The Killers is so popular that it was on the UK charts for years after it was released. Would it still have the same appeal if it were a Blink-182 song? I’ll leave that decision up to you. — [eric]
The pandemic opened a lot of people up to the world of grocery store delivery options. Unfortunately, the wrong kind of people caught wind of this system. This week’s Karen certainly falls into that category.
Where is this Karen from? The conversation lives on Facebook!
They say childbirth is one of the most excruciating pains a human can deal with, but men don’t have to do it so how can they know? Now they can with this machine that gives contractions. Justin tried it on the show a while back and he was almost out cold from the pain. Watch this poor man immediately regret what he got himself into in this video.
Taking the perfect license photo is nearly impossible. You’re never ready, your hair is messed up, and it doesn’t look like you anyway! This man decided to fight the power of the DMV photographer. He shaved only half of his face and looks like two completely different people in his license photo! Maybe he’s the type of guy who goes back and forth between beard and no beard and wants to be ready for either situation. I always say a man with facial looks better- this photograph is proof.
This adorable toddler in Georgia has hair that will always be unruly. Doctors have called it ‘extremely uncombable hair syndrome.’ It’s only a a one in a million chance that you could get it and if you don’t have it already, then you’re probably just having a bad hair day, not a bad hair… life.
