On the 15th anniversary of American Idiot, Green Day drops latest music video.

September 22, 2019 | Eric

The new Green Day music video is here.  It’s full of what I will call — high energy clips ⚡ — all while the band plays “Father Of All…” in front of 24 silhouetted figures.  (FUN FACT:  you can clam to your friends that YOU, are in fact, one of those figures.  Who is going to be able to prove you wrong anyways?  IT’S JUST A BUNCH OF SHADOWY FIGURES.)

Green Day released this video one day shy of the 15th anniversary of American Idiot — the “punk rock opera” album that has become the band’s signature contributions to alternative.  I think 16 million copies sold, a Broadway musical, and an upcoming feature film adaptation backs that claim up, no?

Also upcoming is a Green Day return to Wrigley Field in August 2020.  They will team up with Fall Out Boy and Weezer for the Hella Mega Tour — tickets are onsale now or you can try to win them here.  — [eric]

Serengeti remixes the Chicago classic ‘Dennehy’ for da Bulls

September 21, 2019 | Kevin

The Chicago Bulls teamed with viral video sensation Seregeti who rapped his way into every Chicago’s beef-clogged heart with his anthem to our beloved culture with ‘Denney . Well, he did a fresh spin on track with a Bulls focus hilarious referencing Bulls greats Ron Harper, Bob Love, and Scottie Pippen.  Share this with video with any of your friends who have a mustache deeper than a deep dish.

Here is the original.

Stream Foo Fighters new live album recorded near Area 51

September 21, 2019 | Kevin

The Foo Fighters on-going archival recording series continued with a release this week of performance at the Walker Air Force Base in Rosewell, New Mexico. Yes, right by Area 51 the secretive government facility which has been in the news a lot recently with silly faux raids planned by internet meme groups. These performances come from June 2005 when the band was supporting the album ‘In Your Honor’ and features them rolling through the title track of that album plus classics like ‘Monkey Wrench’ and deeper cuts like ‘Free Me’ and ‘Stacked Actors’.

Stream it above from the band’s official YouTube account. The album is also available on Spotify and other streaming services.

 

The White Stripes final show is now available online

September 21, 2019 | Kevin

Jack White and Brendan Benson of the Raconteurs played the 101WKQX Lounge on Sept 15, 2019. Watch it above. 

In 2007, one of the most beloved duos in all of rock music, the White Stripes played their final show together at the Snowden Grove amphitheater near the border between Mississippi and Tennessee. The show was memorable for a reason the audience would not understand as it was not known at the time that this would be Meg and Jack White’s last big show together. They would officially announce their break-up in 2011. Third-Man Records issued the 24 song set online through their online archive, nugs.net for $10.

Consequence of Sound reported this week on the surprise release, speaking to Third-Man Records archivist Ben Blackwell who was in attendance for the show. He found out shortly it would be the Stripe’s last stand shortly before they took the stage. “Meg said to me, ‘I think this is the last White Stripes show.’ Confused, I responded ‘Well, yeah, last show of this leg of the tour.’ She replied ‘No… I think this is the last White Stripes show ever,’ and slowly walked away.” says Blackwell.

The White Stripes did perform a few more times sporadically, including this moving 2009 rendition of “W Are Going To Be Friends” on the last episode of Conan O’Brien’s run on ‘Late Nite’.

The story of getting the pair back together for this single song performance was pretty interesting. O’Brien recounted this wild story in this animated video from 2017.

 

Bikers crash lemonade stand with positivity

September 20, 2019 | jnettlebeck

Bikers never forget those that have wronged them. Luckily, they also remember those who have done right by them.

In September 2018, Daryn Sturch and her young daughter, Bryanne, pulled up to an accident involving multiple motorcycles. Sturch acted as a first responder and took care of the injuries riders until they were airlifted from the scene. 

Now, the bikers are back, healed up, and ready to pound some lemonade. 

The lemonade stand was being run by Bryanne Sturch, who a year prior had watched her mother save lives. 

We guarantee this is the cutest post you’ll see all day. 

 

The Area 51 Storm is Happening Now.

September 20, 2019 | jnettlebeck

Months of memes, planning, and campaigning have led to this. Days after Tom Delonge dropped the unidentified flying object bombshell on America, the storm has begun. 

Despite numerous warnings from Nevada officials, the raid is on and it is real. 

Alienstock, as it’s now being dubbed, is bound to be a spectacle in one way or another. 

This is the greatest invention ever created

September 20, 2019 | jnettlebeck

Take a seat and hear us out. This idea will change humanity for the better. 

At some point during our daily grind, we need to sit. There’s nothing worse than looking for a chair. Whether it be in the cafeteria, in the office, or in an unfamiliar area.  Don’t be that person with that dumb, where-do-I-sit-face that is forcibly etched across anyone’s face when they don’t know where to sit. 

This invention fixes all of that. 

Anyone against this idea is working harder, not smarter. This is not humans regressing into lazy beings, this is humans achieving newfound success. 

If, somehow, you happen to disagree with us, tweet us with the #Ahoy and let us know why.

Is Arlington Racecourse heading into its last lap?

September 19, 2019 | JVO

Arlington International Racecourse may be closing for good. The Daily Herald reports that Churchill Downs Inc., which owns Arlington, has only days left to prove “it’s committed to racing at the Arlington Heights track beyond 2021.”

The Illinois Racing Board is holding a hearing on September 24. They want Churchill Downs to seek a casino license that would allow money made from slots and table games to be shared with horse racing purses.
