Well, you got hacked? Seems like that is going around, right? It might have not happened if those internet scumbags couldn’t figure out your password to your private info and accounts. Well CNN has revealed that one of our beloved alternative bands, Blink-182 is one of the most hacked passwords.
If your password is one of these words or phrases, it's time to change it:

If you’re planning a vacation you’ll be noticing how expensive things can get. You have hotels and flights, not to mention food, how do you expect to afford it all?
Well now you don’t have to, just pay to fake it!
All you have to do is use Fake A Vacation, a site that will allow you to purchase a photo of yourself at a vacation destination.
Let’s be honest, the perfect photo for social media is all you need to show off your “sweet trip.”
Here’s how it works:
They have a few different places you could ‘go’ to.
Currently their highest package is a custom pack for $200, but still, you’d be spending more on travel to physically go somewhere!
All respect and love to the men and women who report the news! <3
But everyone has those days where their head and mouth don’t meet and something you didn’t mean to say comes out. Or maybe you don’t realize what you said sounds kinda dirty, we all have our head in the gutters some days.
Here’s more on the montage we’ve been playing on the KQX Morning Crew:
Not sure you’ll find ANYONE here in Chicago that would say they like potholes.
But in a rare turn of events, a Nebraska man was saved when his ambulance hit a pothole, returning his dangerously paced heartbeat returned to normal!
The 59-year-old man’s heartbeat went as high as 200 beats per minute at one point.
A rare story where we aren’t hating on the annoying potholes.
Tickets for the 50th anniversary of Woodstock were supposed to go live Monday. That’s not happening now — but might not be the beginning of the end, as some feared this weekend.
In response to rumors that popped up that the entire thing would be cancelled, founder Michael Lang told Billboard that they were just “rumors.” It may very well be that a problem in getting a permit may have prompted the brakes to be applied to ticketing.
At any rate, the show is still on for August — featuring bands like The Killers, Imagine Dragons, Cage The Elephant, The Raconteurs, Portugal. The Man, and more. But the ability to purchase a ticket will clearly ease the fears of fans hoping to make the trek. — [eric]

Hour 2
Missio meet and greet pictures from The Lounge are here!
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.
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”
Peter Tosh – “Legalize It”
Arctic Monkeys – “Why’d You Only Call Me When You’re High?”
Hinder – “Get Stoned”
Fun Lovin’ Criminals – “Scooby Snacks”
Sir Sly – “High”
The Verve – “The Drugs Don’t Work”
Amy Winehouse – “Addicted”
Cypress Hill – “Hits From The Bong”
Tove Lo – “Habits (Stay High)”
Oasis – “Champagne Supernova”
Queens Of The Stone Age – “Feel Good Hit Of The Summer”
Afroman – “Because I Got High”
Here’s a few more playlists to….spark your interest. And enjoy your day, pot enthusiasts. — [eric]

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.
Hey @discordapp, how many RT's to get @MalloryLoar to eat one of her Peepza Monstrosities? pic.twitter.com/1anWouf48Y

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.
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’.
SWMRS meet and greet photos from The Lounge!
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.
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.
The Killers tweeted a white board’s worth of what looks like song titles. We know they’re working on new stuff, so this might be the first hint of what’s to come…

You may know Jason Momoa as Khal Drogo or Aquaman, and what you’ll recognize is both characters have some pretty good beards.
View this post on Instagram
Who’s going to make fun of Aquaman now? 😜😈 #Aquaman #ThatKingSuitTho #WhatsUp
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, 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.
