Jack Black reminded us this week that we can all be heroes in the fight against COVID-19 by wearing a mask. The ‘Nacho Libre’ star wearing a bright red cape and a Speedo, called on people to wear a specific type of mask to stop the spread of germs. The video also sees Black dive into a pool with the cape on, which just looks like fun.
Listen to some unreleased Chris Cornell on his birthday today!
His estate has released his cover of Guns N’ Roses’ Patience in celebration of what would have been his 56th birthday.
Wow where does time go? It’s really hard to believe it’s already been three years since the world was froze by the chilling news of Chester Bennington’s death. And for it to happen on Chris Cornell’s Birthday is just another reminder of how important mental health is.

If you find yourself struggling in any way please do not be ashamed or afraid of reaching out to someone for help. You may feel alone and that nobody cares but trust me from my personal experience, people care. WE CARE!

You know what it’s important to take criticism every once in awhile.
But from what we can tell, everyone is absolutely LOVING the morning show!
I never understand why people go on weird outdoor adventures, stuff like this can happen to you!
Stay safe, stay inside! Unless you live with an alligator…
After a new trailer was released promoting the new Muppets show coming to Disney+ people were a little concerned over the voice of Kermit the Frog.

People really hate change, huh….
Don’t come at Lori, because she’s not afraid to clap back!
Mayor Lightfoot quickly took to twitter after WH press secretary Kayleigh McEnany called her “the derelict mayor of Chicago” in a press briefing.

No one is safe from Lori Lightfoot’s twitter fingers!
They say money can’t buy you happiness, but it can definitely buy you a $65M mansion!
Take Dan Bilzerian’s house for instance… he seems pretty happy in my opinion.
One thing has united us all during this pandemic.
A disgust over the “Let me talk to your manager” people.
Here is an ode to the Karens who came into our lives during this pandemic.

I came across a Tweet from The Smashing Pumpkins — a retweet, actually — of a fan excited to finally put their hands on a ZERO shirt. Remember this?
I’ve have wanted this @SmashingPumpkin shirt since I was a teenager!
Finally got one! So excited for fall! pic.twitter.com/o9s8cxWcEY— Gabriel M. (@FireDragon1227_) July 16, 2020
Kind of hard NOT to remember. Starting in the mid 90s, THIS was the standard uniform for Billy Corgan at most every concert. The backstory on how this came to be is pretty interesting, which FeelNumb detailed a few years back. Among the things you can learn from the article:
If you’re interested in snagging one for yourself, check out the Smashing Pumpkins merch shop. — [eric]
Well, get ready to get jealous! United Kingdom prime minister Boris Johnson announced this week as part of phase 4 in a COVID-19 response plan, that live concerts will return in England next month. These indoor performances will be held under very strict guidelines with social distancing, reduced attendance counts, online ticketing, sanitizing stations, and staggered show schedules to break up the flow. This follows news from a few weeks ago covering the opening of a very unique outdoor music venue that was designed completely with socially distancing due to COVID-19 in mind.
England has currently 294,000 reported cases of the Coronavirus.
From the British Broadcasting Corporation, the Foo Fighters!
Watch Tim from Rise Against perform ‘People from Here’ in the LOUNGE.
Hometown heroes Rise Against released a deluxe version of their magnificent 2014 album, ‘the Black Market’ with three new tracks which had previously been released on vinyl and as b-sides on foreign singles. The three new songs are “About Damn Time”,“We Will Never Forget” and “Escape Artists”. Lead guitarist Zach Blair called the album their darkest to date but also their most “triumphant” according to Consequence of Sound. It definitely another example of RA’s continued efforts to always evolve yet stay true to their emotional gravity in putting in the good fight for the right thing.
You can stream it here on Spotify,.
Stream the songs on YouTube here, and scroll down to see WKQX’s Lauren chat with Tim from RA backstage last year at Riot Fest.
We have been saying it for a few months now that 2020 is “the worst year ever” but Weird History contends that year 536 with volcanic ash clouds inducing food depletion, massive climate changes, plagues taking many lives, and of course, war. Humanity always with the wars, ya know?
If you are a fan of world history this is a perfect video to look at what was the ‘worst’ time to be alive. The video also cover a Harvard study which digged into the the global catastrophe
In celebration of their new album ‘The Kingdom,’ Bush is having a ONE NIGHT ONLY live virtual concert! Hit the link to watch!
A dark must-see comedy film called ‘Palm Springs’ hit Hulu last week, and it’s maybe the best movie I have seen this year. Yeah, I didn’t see any movies in a theater in over 4 months for obvious reasons. The film, starring SNL alum Andy Samberg and Cristin Milioti, is a ‘Groundhog Day’ misadventure for xennials, millenials, zoomers, etc. How do two lost souls get out of going through the same day over and over? It’s reinvents the concept with Twilight Zone vibes, earnest looks at hopelessness, and what love really means when your existence is challenged. Those elements sound like a lot of our collective experiences at the moment with COVID-19.
If you are having tough time processing the stressful times we are in, this movie will deliver a relatable and entertaining escape. It’s definitely a must-watch for anyone who had to change their wedding plans or anyone who has been dragged to a wedding they didn’t want to attend. Here are some reliable reviews from the best movie channels on YouTube to get a better look into this breakout film.
Taking a cue from European club soccer league, Major League Baseball is going to spruce up their upcoming 60 game season with dubbed in live crowd noise from the video game, ‘MLB: The Show’. In our current COVID-19 circumstances, this is another weird way that sports and entertainment are trying to replicate the feeling of a gathered human experience like fans cheering on their home team.
ESPN is reporting that MLB officials hope that this audible add-on to televised games this year with little or no fans in attendance along with the standard stadium announcers, at-bat music, and more traditional elements we could take in when attending games in person.
So here is a question: What are the Cubs going to do with the ceremonial ‘7th Inning Sttetch’? We will see come next week when the games start. Here are the best celebs including Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vedder to yell “1, 2, 3 strikes, you’re out at the old ball game!”.
