Check out this dumpster fire

November 5, 2020 | jnettlebeck

What a terribly smelly accident.

A garbage truck caught fire in Atlanta!

I’ve heard of dumpster fires but I don’t know if I’ve ever heard about a garbage truck fire.

That street is probably going to smell for the next three months!

There’s a New Whiskey That Tastes Like Deer

November 5, 2020 | Tim Virgin

If swigging regular whiskey wasn’t MANLY enough for you, now there’s this . . .

 

A distillery in New Hampshire is releasing a new whiskey later this month that tastes like DEER.  Basically, they added venison as they were aging the whiskey to give it a, quote, “savory complement.

 

They’re also releasing a brandy in December that’s flavored with the CORPSE FLOWER . . . which is one of the worst smelling flowers in the world.  They say it adds, quote, “death and decay to the floral notes of the brandy.”  Delicious?

 

(Careful!)  But if you can’t wait for deer whiskey out next week or corpse flower brandy next month, they already have one other questionable product for sale:  A whiskey flavored with castoreum, which are secretions from beaver anuses.  Yep.

 

Check out their website TamworthDistilling.com if you want to find out more about ordering the liquors once they come out.  Seems like the perfect holiday gift for that person in your life who loves interesting alcohol and you also secretly kinda hate.

Foo Fighters teasing ‘X’, Confirmed For SNL with Dave Chapelle

November 5, 2020 | Kevin

Dave Grohl and the crew, could be teasing a new album based on signage that fans have shared online in and around the Los Angeles area. This would be the Foos 10th album so that might explain the “x” but we do not know much more thant that. You can check out the teases have been popping up that also include images of a burning coffen down below. You can see also quick teaser videos from the band themselves with the hashtag “lpx”.

As if that was not enough good news from the Foo Fighters, we got confirmation the alternative band of bands will be performing this weekend on NBC’s ‘Saturday Night Live’ with comedy legend Dave Chaepelle hosting. It will be interesting if we see the band use this national TV opportunity to play a new song possibly. Two great Daves on one show together, 2020 has some bright spots I guess.

When you think “dream job,” what comes to mind?  Getting paid to play with puppies? listen to music? (it rules) browse the internet?  If you said browse the internet then this job for Opera is for you!

Imagine getting paid for browsing the web. Imagine no more. We’re looking for a personal browser – a person whose task is to browse the web. Yup, you heard us right.

We don’t demand much from you

A New App Lets You Set Up a Legally Binding NDA Before Sending Nude Selfies

November 3, 2020 | Tim Virgin

If you REALLY want to start sending people naked pictures of yourself . . . and who doesn’t? … but you’re worried about those pictures getting leaked, here’s a solution.

There’s a new app called e-gree that lets you create a legally-binding non-disclosure agreement with someone before you start sexting.

Once you both sign the NDA, if they leak your nude photos, you can sue them and have the same legal standing you’d have if a lawyer had drawn up the contract for you

You can download e-gree for free for Apple or Android, and if you want to set up one of these sexting NDAs, it’s only 99 cents.

Happy Birthday to Tim McIlrath of Rise Against!

November 3, 2020 | Kevin

Happy Birthday to Tim McIlrath of our beloved hometown heroes Rise Against. His passion for music, doing what’s right, and representing Chicago in such a special way has never wavered since the band broke out to be a worldwide sensation. Over the years at PIqniq, the Nights We Stole Christmas, and even just running him into on the streets like right after playing Wrigley Field, Tim has always just been down to Earth around these larger-than-life situations. Let’s celebrate our special times with Tim and the RA gang down below.

Listen to our new long-form interview on our new History of Alternative with Tim McIlrath about how politics have inspired some incredible songs in the alternative space.

Feeling a Halloween candy hangover? Listen to RA’s Tim sing Misfits ‘Halloween’ with Frank Iero of My Chemical Romance, Mike Herrera of MxPx/Goldfinger,  Angels & Airwaves drummer Atom Willard, and Ryan ‘Fluff’ Bruce from Dragged Under.

At Piqniq saw two superheroes unite to bring ‘power to the people’ as Tom Morello had McIlrath join him on-stage with a lot of WKQX listeners. It was surreal to say the least. Watch this wild video of that here.

 

Spend some time with this special Lounge session we taped with Tim and our various interviews with him through the years.
