How many people on this Earth are cooler than Dave Grohl? David Attenborough and Baby Yoda, even though thats more of a puppet but whatever, thats it! From his breakthrough as “the drummer from Nirvana” to epic stardom as the guy who did the drum battle with that cute kid, Grohl has defined alternative music from the 90s all the way to today. Whether he’s drumming for Queens of the Stone Age or Them Crooked Vultures, or ripping through Everlong in front of 100,000 screaming fans, Dave IS alternative. Here are a few (Foo Fighters specific) songs to get you started on your Dave Grohl journey of awesomeness…
Today is National Coffee Day, so I guess you should drink even MORE coffee than you usually do. I’m WIRED right now!
Most places that sell coffee have some kind of deal going on today, including free coffee at Dunkin’ Donuts and Krispy Kreme . . . $1 coffee at 7-Eleven . . . and a free drink in the future if you buy a coffee at Starbucks. (Here’s a full list of deals.)And here are a few coffee stats for you in honor of the holiday.
1. 75% of the caffeine that Americans take in comes from coffee.
2. 66% of women and 62% of men drink coffee every single day.
3. The average coffee drinker puts down three coffees a day.
4. Americans drink approximately 146 billion cups of coffee every year.
Trash Theory made this wonderful lyrical breakdown video on the Smashing Pumpkins ‘1979’ and how it represents the collective youthful exuberance we seek to regain only when we’ve grown away from it. That’s sort of what we are doing with History of Alternative which you can catch on-air on 101WKQX weekdays 10a-7pm for a limited time.
It’s got some NSFW language, but it’s a well-woven piece that shows how the song’s message permeates in other movies and music while being one of the Pumpkin’s best tracks. The video also notes how Pumpkin’s leader Billy Corgan was bringing the band in a different direction on ‘Mellon-collie and the Infinities Sadness’ and artistically stopping one formula that they grew tired of one their earlier records.
One thing this video gets wrong in my opinion is where it claims the band has not been able to strike the same glory since this period which is just aggressively esoteric. If you are going to praise the band for encapsulated the ideal feeling of youth, why you would then not allow the same artist to grow?
No matter what you think of this video, maybe you will love this: Our epic Lounge session with Smashing Pumpkins where Billy and the company share stories of growing up in Chicago and more.
Well Salt Bae is quite salty at the moment because his brand new restaurant that he opened in Boston was shut down for violating coronavirus regulations.
Based on the videos he was posting, it’s easy to see why.
Salt Bae has not directly reached out to anyone yet, but he has been vocal in his anger at his staff’s inexcusable behavior by violating the virus rules.
For some reason, action movie star Vin Diesel has released a poppy EDM song called ‘Feel Like I Do’ and The internet has responded fast and furiously. Internet Today covered the entire reoccurring trend of established actors recording music. They covered the odd debut of the song the ‘Kelly Clarkson Show’ with a virtual audience and how the song is just weird.
The virtual Kelly Clarkson Show audience members awkwardly dancing to Vin Diesel's new song is the funniest thing I've seen in weeks. pic.twitter.com/eI0BEuNSPN
