On this day in 2004, the Dave Matthews Band tour bus stopped on the bridge above the Chicago River at Kinzie Street with an architecture tour boat unfortunately underneath that bridge as the bus expelled its bathroom waste. Around 100 sightseers got to see, smell, and experience more of DMB than they ever needed to deal with. This ‘documentary’ from Consequence of Sound sees some of the people on that boat retell the crappy horror. Note it has a lot of graphic descriptions.
Riotfest.org reported that the bus driver involved had to pay a $10,000 fine, do 150 hours of community service and serve 18 months of probation.
The Blackhawks have qualified for the Stanley Cup playoff for the first time in several years, taking out the widely favored Edmonton Oilers in 4-3 win last night. Hawks in the NHL bubble, continue on in the new hockey normal in the town of the team they just eliminated from the playoffs.
Death Cab for Cutie’s Ben Gibbard is a proud son of Seattle and loves his hometown Mariners. So it was touching to hear the swooning voice do a spruced-up cover of the feel-good John Fogerty baseball anthem ‘Centerfield’ with some added references to Mariner greats like Ichiro Suzuki. Gibbard performed the solo acoustic cover on the field at T-Mobile Park with a great video showing kids practicing at home.
Gibbard has been able to produce some very touching moments lately with his at-home live streams during our current pandemic. He crafted a song for our stressed-out times right now with ‘Life in Quarantine’.
While you are here, enjoy the gift of Gibbard and company you should watch our Lounge session with DCFC from a few years back.
They’re zany to the max, and they are coming back to your screens.

Oliver Tree is a consistent weirdo who enjoys doing ridiculous things, but this one may get the alternative artist into trouble with the Clique,
Tree has an issue with being compared to alternative headliners Twenty One Pilots. Tree in a recent unhinged interview with H3H3, seemingly shared that he has had enough of it. He also noted that Tyler Joseph followed him on Soundcloud years ago, and alluded it may be the other way around. It’s unclear whether or not this is just another subversive bit of fun from Tree or he’s legitimately going to take legal action against Tyler Joseph and Josh Dunn which he also teased. On the surface, this looks to be an enjoyable piece of comedy from Tree who knows how to stir the pot.
