Watch The Interrupters bring punk rock to Coachella.

Coachella is putting the wraps on another festival on Sunday.  Here is The Interrupters bringing the punk rock from weekend number one:

Aimee, Kevin, Justin, and Jesse were in The Lounge earlier this month.  Watch them strip down “Gave You Everything,” learn what their pre-game ritual is, and hear about the influence Tim Armstrong of Rancid had with the group by watching below.  And don’t forget to text LOUNGE to 312101 to hear about all our upcoming performances before everyone else.

That Afroman song is the “Macarena” of 4/20 music (and other thoughts)

Afroman’s “Because I Got High” is the worst and no one should listen to that today.  More on soon, but first:

This is clearly not the “be-all & end-all” lists of songs for today’s unofficial holiday (and for more, see links at the conclusion).  But I thought I would take a moment to rate and provide commentary on some of the more common 4/20 songs you would find on the playlist of an alternative rock enthusiast.  The music is rated on a scale of 1-5…clouds.  And find links to the YouTube videos by hovering over the song title.  And now, without further delay:

Sublime“Smoke Two Joints”

  • You could pretty much place the entire Sublime catalog on shuffle and you’d have your playlist for the day, if we’re being honest.  Clearly on the Mount Rushmore of pot songs (along with Bob, Willie, and Snoop),  “Smoke Two Joints” will not win points for originality — but certainly will get some slow, steady head nods of approval for the bong sound effects to lead off the song. (SMOKE RATING:💨💨💨💨💨)

Peter Tosh“Legalize It”

Arctic Monkeys“Why’d You Only Call Me When You’re High?”

  • A smoking song with a moral.  Because no matter the substance that gave you the courage to fire off the invite, we should all learn that the “booty call” may work a few times, but is not an effective long-term strategy for shaboinking. (SMOKE RATING:💨💨💨💨💨)

Hinder“Get Stoned”

  • Dear fellows from Hinder:  if your ultimate goal is to “go home and get stoned,” it hardly seems in fitting with the aggro tone you’ve chosen as a vehicle for your message.  thank u, next (SMOKE RATING:💨)

Fun Lovin’ Criminals“Scooby Snacks”

  • Cool vibe.  Excellent (but illegal) use of Tarantino movie clips.  Would consider recommending to a friend. (SMOKE RATING:💨💨💨)

Sir Sly – “High”

  • Sorry, Karen.  When little Johnny takes “another breath and (he’s) up another level,” it’s not referring to his prowess at video games. (SMOKE RATING:💨💨💨💨)

The Verve“The Drugs Don’t Work”

  • If you are trying to set a lighthearted party mood, do not put this song on your playlist.  It’s a beautifully somber song about the loved ones we’ve lost along the way.  Stone sober, soberly stoned — either way, you’ve been warned about it’s emotional content. (SMOKE RATING:💨💨💨💨)

Amy Winehouse“Addicted”

  • Moral of the story:  don’t be a mooch.  Someone smokes you out, you do the same in return next time around.  Learn the code. (SMOKE RATING:💨💨)

Cypress Hill“Hits From The Bong”

  • This is the equivalent of carrots and celery in a soup.  Sort of a given on any 4/20 playlist, but no connoisseur gets terribly excited its presence. (SMOKE RATING:💨💨💨)

Tove Lo“Habits (Stay High)”

  • A reminder that lighting up isn’t always about good times and celebrations.  Sometimes you just need to dull the brain while you process s#$t.  (SMOKE RATING:💨💨💨💨)

Oasis“Champagne Supernova”

  • A smoking song disguised by a a bubbly, headache-inducing alcohol in the title?  Sneaky, sneaky, sneaky…  (SMOKE RATING:💨💨💨💨💨)

Queens Of The Stone Age“Feel Good Hit Of The Summer”

  • Some may consider the five words in this song the ingredients for a good night.  Others, the chemical formula for a mess.  To each their own.  (SMOKE RATING:💨💨💨)

Afroman“Because I Got High”

  • Should exist on your playlist for profiling purposes only.  This is the “Macarena” of pot songs. Anyone who gets excited about hearing this is not worthy of being in your “puff and pass” circle of friendship. It had its time and place….and time is thankfully over. (SMOKE RATING: -1000)

Here’s a few more playlists to….spark your interest.  And enjoy your day, pot enthusiasts.   — [eric]

It should be illegal to do this with Peeps candy

It went viral and hundreds of people who have decency or respect for the life-giving pizza, have shared it. An image so vile, so hideous, we ask you look at this with discretion for your digestion.

PEEPS ON A PIZZA? WHAT DID THAT PIZZA DO YOU TO DESERVE THIS?

Yeah, I guess no one can be nice to the slice. We can credit the folks at Rare for turning us onto this diabolical scheme.

It’s not enough marshmellow madness. Youtube channel WhatTriviaSays feels like humans need to see him make a pizza with Peeps on it.

 

 

How do you feel about Netflix adding a ‘Random Episode’ button?

Sometimes when you pull up Netflix with it’s ever-growing library of on-demand shows and movies, it becomes a hurdle to simply choose what to watch. Yeah, share this article with that person who spends more time deciding what to watch than actually watching something. Well according to the Wrap, you may have a solution coming in the form of a “random episode” button. So basically if you are watching a series, this could randomly play an episode without even having to make the call yourself.

“We are testing the ability for members to play a random episode from different TV series on the Android mobile app. These tests typically vary in length of time and by region, and may not become permanent,” said a Netflix spokesperson in the article.

The feature is currently being tested on the Android mobile version of Netflix on a handful of TV series.

This would be a pretty clever move to give people an option to watch TV with less of the work. Yes, some people think picking a show is ‘work’.

 

 

Cage the Elephant on ‘Late Show’: Matt Schultz has leather and midnight eyes

Cage the Elephant premiered their new album ‘Social Cues’ last night on 101WKQX an hour before the world got it on streaming apps, but the coolest guys in alternative also hit TV screens nationwide on CBS’s ‘Late Show’ with a performance of ‘Ready to Let Go’. The performance showed extra groovy the song is and also can we talk about singer Matt Schultz’s outfit? A tight leath body suit, gold chains, ten gallon cowboy hat, and his eyes pitch black with contacts?!

Is that something I can explain right now? No.

Does it look cool? Yep, looking forward to the tour.

Chicago’s CBD-infused dining options

With 4/20 happening tomorrow, Eater Chicago seized the topical moment by releasing a list of Chicago area restaurants and bars that serve CBD-infused menu options.

The list is strictly north side, which tells us either Eater is missing lots of stuff south of Congress, or that no such options exist in that direction.

Included in the “top 10” is venerable favorite Kuma’s Corner, whose Euphoric CBD cocktails are served in bongs with dry ice “smoke.”

Check the list out here.

Goodbye Jason Momoa’s beautiful beard

Well, now we have to say goodbye the famous beard…

Granted it’s sad to see the beard go, but he did it to raise awareness that we shouldn’t make a change in the items we use and switch to infinitely recyclable aluminium.

Lil Dicky’s new environmentally-conscious track features 30 artists

Lil Dicky, real name David Andrew Burd, released his latest track titled ‘Earth’. The song is about, well, the Earth but more importantly about the appeal for humanity to wake up and appreciate it, as well as show Earth some love.

The video, its lyrics, its cameos, everything about it is still true to Lil Dicky’s irreverent style. Riddled with punchy phrasing that cuts to the core of existence, hordes of animals explain their being – no matter how simple.

Featuring more than 30 artists, including Panic! At The Disco’s Brendon Urie, who represented a pig. Along with an animated version of Leonardo DiCaprio.

He told Time how he wanted to use his contacts to get people thinking more about climate change and how to fight against it.

“Right now, I don’t think people care that much. If everyone decided to care just a little bit—if everyone cared enough to not use straws at all—that’s going to have an impact” “Somehow, life has led us to this 12-year-window where it’s on the people who are on earth right now to insist that everything finally gets actually taken seriously. What an opportunity.”

Net profits from the song, music video and merchandise will go to a group of nonprofits implementing solutions to climate change, as identified by DiCaprio’s foundation.

WCIU ‘the U’ making a major change

WCIU Channel 26 ‘the U’ has been a stand out Chicago TV listings for decades with a mix of syndicated rerun shows and their own locally produced favorites like Saturday night horror movie icon ‘Svengoolie’ and morning talk show ‘the Jam’. Chicago Sun Times reported today that WCIU will soon become an affiliate of the CW network, effectively changing it’s weeknight prime time programming to shows like DC superhero shows such as ‘the Flash’, ‘Arrow’, and more. This is second time the CW has moved on the dial in Chicago in last five years. In 2016, CWQ moved from WGN to WPWR Channel 50.

According to the Sun Times report, the channel will still broadcast “The Jam,”“The People’s Court” and “Judge Mathis” and syndicated sitcoms including “Seinfeld” and “Mike & Molly.” The new channel will be called the CW 26 and changes will go on the air in the fall.

Weigel Broadcasting who owns and operates WCIU, will move ‘the U’ to WCUU Channel 26.2, where it will air ‘ABC 7 News on the U’ at 7pm CST on weekdays.

Excuse this 90’s kids who needs to remind you of the cartoon afternoon lineup that WCIU rocked back in the day.

WTF!? Yoga Instructor says how snorting his urine makes him last longer in bed

Todays WTF News:

Yoga master, 41-year-old Sam Cohen, claims he has not had a cold in almost twenty years, because every time he goes to the toilet he snorts a cup of his own wee.

Since he’s done this he claims it works wonders for his illnesses, and even has had a positive effect on his sex life.

“Before I was often drained and drowsy. I was 22 and once I started to drink urine I started to get younger again.

The urine is just like an overall boost. It will make you feel younger and make you have more hardness. It does actually make you last longer.”

You can check out him explaining more on it, but be warned… you do see some wee snorting.

Sam also takes other liquids in through his nose like water, wine, vegetable and fruit juices.

I’m pretty sure liquids normally are supposed to go in through the mouth, not the nose, but whatever floats his boat.

Don’t mess with the 65-year-old slugger (VIDEO)

In Florida, 65-year-old Clarese Gainey heard a noise outside her apartment and before calling the police she took matters into her own hands.

“I grab my bat, I brace myself, and I ease the door open,” Gainey said.

That’s when police and Gainey say 5’6, 300 pound Antonio Mosely charged her.

“I took that bat and hit him upside the head like ‘pi-yah!'”

She spoke on how she could easily identify him on his appearance, and the injury she left on his head.

Our favourite part is her describing the hit.

‘Pi-yah!’

Valid text entries received during the 30 minute period after each cue-to-text sounder (as determined by the Station in its sole discretion) will be entered into the Grand Prize drawing. Time Delay Between Over-the-Air Analog Signal and Internet Broadcast: Due to the time delay that exists between the Station’s analog over-the-air signal and the Station’s online webcast, listeners who listen to the Station online may hear the cue to text later than listeners listening to the Station’s analog over-the-air signal. As a result, the odds of an online listener entering this Contest on-air may be diminished. Standard text messaging rates, as established by an individual’s wireless carrier, may apply, and Station assumes no responsibility for any fees or charges incurred for and associated with any text message sent to or from Station.  Any and all fees arising out of the transmission of a text message shall be the sole responsibility of the entrant.  Limit one (1) entry per person per phone number. Multiple participants are not permitted to share the same telephone number. Any attempt by any participant to submit more than one (1) entry by using multiple/different telephone phone numbers, identities, or any other methods will void that participant from further participation in the Sweepstakes.

If a potential winner cannot be contacted, fails to sign and return the affidavit of eligibility and/or the liability/publicity release within the required time period (if applicable), or if the prize or prize notification is returned as undeliverable, potential winner forfeits prize. In the event that the potential winner of a prize is disqualified for any reason, Station may award the applicable prize to an alternate winner by random drawing from among all remaining eligible entries.

  4. General Conditions. Station reserves the right to cancel, suspend and/or modify the Contest, or any part of it, if any fraud, technical failures or any other factor beyond Station’s reasonable control impairs the integrity or proper functioning of the Contest, as determined by Station in its sole discretion. Station reserves the right in its sole discretion to disqualify any individual it finds to be tampering with the entry process or the operation of the Contest or to be acting in violation of these Official Rules or acting in an unsportsmanlike or disruptive manner. Any attempt by any person to deliberately undermine the legitimate operation of the Contest may be a violation of criminal and civil law, and, should such an attempt be made, Station reserves the right to seek damages from any such person to the fullest extent permitted by law. Station’s failure to enforce any term of these Official Rules shall not constitute a waiver of that provision.
  5. Limitations of Liability. The Released Parties are not responsible for: (1) any incorrect or inaccurate information, whether caused by Station, entrants, printing errors or by any of the equipment or programming associated with or utilized in the Contest; (2) technical failures of any kind, including but not limited to malfunctions, interruptions, or disconnections in phone lines or network hardware or software; (3) unauthorized human intervention in any part of the entry process or the Contest; (4) technical or human error which may occur in the administration of the Contest or the processing of entries; or (5) any injury or damage to persons or property which may be caused, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, from entrant’s participation in the Contest or receipt or use, non-use or misuse of any prize. No more than the stated number of prizes will be awarded.

  6. Entrant agrees that: (i) any and all disputes, claims and causes of action arising out of or connected with this Contest, or any prizes awarded, shall be resolved individually, without resort to any form of class action; (ii) any and all disputes, claims and causes of action arising out of or connected with this Contest, or any prizes awarded, shall be resolved exclusively by the United States District Court or the appropriate state court located in the Station’s listening area; (iii) any and all claims, judgments and awards shall be limited to actual out-of-pocket costs incurred, including costs associated with entering this Contest, but in no event attorneys’ fees; and (iv) under no circumstances will entrant be permitted to obtain awards for, and entrant hereby waives all rights to claim punitive, incidental and consequential damages and any other damages, other than for actual out-of-pocket expenses, and any and all rights to have damages multiplied or otherwise increased. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATIONS OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. All issues and questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and enforceability of these Official Rules, or the rights and obligations of entrant and Station in connection with the Contest, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the state in which the Station is located, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules (whether of the state in which the Station is located or any other jurisdiction), which would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the state in which the Station is located.

The 8 Best Neighborhood Dive Bars in Chicago (according to you)

The 8 Best Neighborhood Dive Bars in Chicago (according to you)

Let me set the scene for you…As you wander through a neighborhood, you see an old building with a light up beer sign, and little-to-no visibility from the outside world. You stumble in and let your eyes adjust to the dim lighting. You take in your surroundings: the people are surly, the floor clearly hasn\’t been washed in 3 decades, and the drinks are dirt cheap.

You\’ve struck gold. You\’ve found a true dive bar.

I love finding new dives, but I don\’t have time to wander around all the neighborhoods in Chicago waiting to stumble upon one. Instead, I\’ve asked our trusty Twitter followers to tell us their favorites. These have been neither tested nor approved by us, so please test them and tell us if you approve. Cheers!

aliveOne – Lincoln Park
2683 N Halsted St, Chicago, IL 60614
Their website photos are very promising – a collection of weird art, vinyl tufted bar seats, and their beer prices appear to be pretty reasonable.

The Native – Logan Square
2417 N Milwaukee Ave, Chicago, IL 60647
Dark, no frills establishment with killer cocktails.

Wrong\’s Tap – Beverly
10014 S Western Ave, Chicago, IL 60643
According to MetroMix, \”Twenty or so years ago the bar was called Right\’s, and when it changed hands the new owners went for a name flip.\” I don\’t know if that is historically accurate, but I am completely delighted by that story.

Local Option – Lincoln Park
1102 W Webster Ave, Chicago, IL 60614
The most non-Lincoln Park bar in Lincoln Park.

The Sixpenny Bit – Jefferson Park
5800 W Montrose Ave, Chicago, IL 60634
According to @bcawley83: \”Dive-ish but also charming. Oh and cheap beer!!\”

Five Star Bar – West Town
1424 W Chicago Ave, Chicago, IL 60642
Although they have wood paneling (a common dive bar trait), their food looks a little too good to be considered a dive bar. Will I still be going there this weekend for French toast? Probably.

Nisei Lounge – Wrigleyville
3439 N Sheffield Ave, Chicago, IL 60657
As @MySportsComplex said \”Given their Twitter snark I think @NiseiLounge qualifies as a dive at least spiritually speaking.\” I\’m into their dive-y attitude, but how are their prices and lack of daylight? Further research is needed.

Cody\’s Public House – Lakeview
1658 W Barry Ave, Chicago, IL 60657
They don\’t have a website, and their (unofficial) Yelp page photos are sparce: a Schlitz globe light, a dart board, and multiple dogs. The intrigue is high, and I must go immediately.

And there you have it! Let us know if we missed a dive-y gem on Twitter.
