Twenty One Pilots are taking over 101.1 WKQX all week long!

It’s takeover week at Twenty-One-Oh-One! 101.1 WKQX has been hijacked by Twenty One Pilots, who will be in-studio at noon every day this week to play some of their favorite songs, deep cuts, and more!

This coincides with their Chicago-wide takeover, which kicks off tomorrow with an intimate performance at Chicago’s Bottom Lounge. Tickets to that event, as well as their shows at the House of Blues, Aragon Ballroom, and United Center are sold out, but the station will have Twenty One Pilots tickets to give away all week long!

Celebrate ‘National Coming Out Day’ with Brian, Ali, & Justin!

Today marks National Coming Out Day! Brian, Ali, & Justin proudly support everyone in the LGTBQ community. Whether people decide to come out today, or any other day, we wish them a safe and prosperous environment because everyone should be allowed to be who they really are.

Resources for anyone in the LGBTQ community that are in need can be found here.

Remember, Brian, Ali, & Justin love you just the way you are!

Bad Neighbors

Beware, as we approach the Halloween season, keep in mind that there’s a monster living in Wicker Park.

“good luck.”

Thanks, pal, you’ll need it!

A meat market in Wisconsin is filling their brats with THIS…

A meat market in Wisconsin has a ‘Spooktober’ brat available for purchase and it’s a very dividing flavor. They’re putting in…. candy corn! Yes, the Halloween treat that has had people arguing for generations if it’s good or not, is now a in brat. I say this is one of the best ideas ever. Who doesn’t love sweet and savory? Maybe if you weren’t a fan of candy corn before, you will be now… or brats for that matter. I say, try some!

How could shooting at a microwave full of Tannerite go wrong?

If you’re shooting random stuff in the woods and filling it with Tannerite before you do, at least put on some googles on first, bro! I’ll be the first to admit how fun this is, but when I’ve messed with Tannerite, you better believe I had some proper distance, AT LEAST! It’s an EXPLOSIVE. Again, I will say this is a lot of fun, but don’t try it at home, unless you have acres of land or googles… or both!

For a week, a rogue sheep has been eluding capture in Illinois

It seems there is new most wanted subject in downstate Bloomington: a rogue sheep that has been eluding capture since it was first spotted on Monday.

Turns out, it may very well be this animal has been on the “lamb” for a lot longer — there is a theory it escaped from a crash on September 19th in the area that released a number of livestock on to the roadways.

For a reminder of how boring life can be in Central Illinois, residents have been posting photos and videos of potential sightings of this fugitive.

Run, little lamb, run….

Nirvana’s breakfast of champions

Being a rockstar is great. Getting to see the world while playing music to all of your adoring fans, dating celebrities, and all that sweet sweet money. Getting to that point…not quite as glamorous. Dave Grohl has been making the rounds promoting his new book The Storyteller (10/10 would recommend) and recently he told a story about how he still dreams about Kurt Cobain to this day, and how the two survived on a diet of gas station corn dogs while recording Nevermind. Check it out below.
