Chicago’s own Friday Pilots Club rocked the Lounge

We are truly fortunate to live in a city that is a breeding ground for incredible musicians.  Watching Friday Pilots Club feels like you are witnessing the future of music.  I was so impressed with their session in our Lounge, and cannot wait to see what they will do on the St. Xavier stage at PIQNIQ June 15th at the Hollywood Casino Amphitheater.  Check them out:

PIQNIQ is 10 bands for $20, but you can score free tickets HERE.

Skrillex’s music can help stop mosquito bites

Scientists have discovered that electronic music can repel mosquitoes and could be an alternative to bug sprays.

The journal Acta Tropica published the research stating:

“In insects, low-frequency vibrations facilitate sexual interactions, whereas noise disrupts the perception of signals from conspecifics [members of the same species] and hosts.”

Scientists tested the theory on the species Aedes aegypti, the type of mosquito known for spreading yellow fever.

Here are more highlights from the research:

  • Music entertainment resulted in delayed response time and reduced visitation to host.
  • Females entertained with music attacked hosts much later than their non-entertained peers.
  • Blood feeding activity had low occurrence when music was played.
  • Adults entertained with music copulated far less than their counterparts kept in the environment where there was no music entertainment.

Dubstep music from Skrillex was chosen for the experiment because of the artist’s use of very high and very low frequencies, specifically the song Scary Monsters And Nice Sprites.

So when it comes summertime and the mosquitoes are out, just play Skrillex.

April Fools Day pranks from Tinder, Tom Brady, Starbucks, and more.

Monday we all fell victims to brands pranking us with April Fools jokes, like the McPickle. But as the day goes on more brands posted on social media various ‘releases’ that we should have known weren’t true.

Here’s a few of those:

  • Our own Cubs pranked us with a cologne ad.

You know some Chicago Cubs fan would have seriously bought this.

  • Do you know how Tinder tweeted out a few days ago that they were going to have height verification?


Well, it turns out that it was just an early April Fools Day prank. Does this make them prank winners for getting everyone to believing this prank for a few days?

  • The US Open got us by saying how they’ll be adding puppies to the ballperson team.


But common, you know that would have been super cute and make you never want to miss a game.

  • Adding into the dog theme, Starbucks announced a new store concept.


A Starbucks exclusively for dogs? Seems very extra.

  • Tom Brady got in on the action by joining his former teammate Gronk in retirement.


Some people responded on how they were upset or how the coach could convince him to not retire. But most people understood that Brady’s post was a complete prank.

  •  McDonald’s pranked us, AGAIN, when they released shake dipping sauces.

Shakes are for drinking, not for dipping. Unless it’s fries and a McFlurry but that’s the only exception.

  • You grew up with Mr Potato head, but sadly he was fired yesterday and replaced with Mr Avo Head.

It seems like hipsters ruin everything, also can we please focus on how he is eating his own kind.. Why replace Mr Potato head with a cannibal?

  • Then to add to the outrageous ways of revealing a baby’s gender, FarmRich released gender reveal Mozzarella sticks.

Gender reveals have gone too far already, it’s better we don’t add in cheese sticks.

We know these are just some of the pranks that were pulled, but would you have wished any of these were honestly true?

Prepare to cringe: TV news team fails at appealing to teens with slang

Can we stop straight-laced TV news team from using slang to appeal to teenagers? Like seriously, stop this right now.  It’s gone viral and it’s embarrassing to say the least. Professional adults agreed to say these things in front of a camera and try to be cool to the kids. They tried, and they failed.

The Washington Post reported earlier this week the TV station behind this WTOL only intended for the clip to be “Web only.” according to sports anchor sports Jordan Strack, adding “It never hit the air”. But if it got online, it may as well been on the air, right?

The unfiltered freak-out of the team to this clip of ‘Vice Live’ is incredible. Some NSFW language.

Sorry kids, you can not bring your goat to school

When I was a kid I was told to stop bringing my action figures (THEY ARE NOT DOLLS) to school. Excuse me Teachers, but the GI Joes want me to be a ‘real American hero” and I believe they would have supported those efforts in the classroom but I digress. There was similar ‘you can’t  bring that to school’ vibes this week in this viral video of a goat trying to follow kids on a school bus.

The goat who is known locally in Heber City, Indiana as Tango tries to get on a school bus but as you can see in the video clip his path to high education is blocked.

Tool Prank fans with “New Song”

Tool is gearing up for the release of their first new album in 12 years. As rumors have been swirling that the band is in the final stages of album production, they know fans are on edge waiting for the first single to drop any second.

WELL … here it is.

APRIL FOOLS!!!!    These guys are no strangers to the APRIL FOOLS gag’s although this one may be the tamest ever.   One of their last ones was they killed off half of their band in a fake Australian bus crash. Wow.

Let’s just hope the new stuff is out SOON!  PLEASE! – Tim Virgin

 

 

 

NIN made an April fools joke about a new album 10 years ago…and a fan just released it.

NIN made an April fools joke about a new album 10 years ago…and a fan just released it.

Photo by Zach Spangler

On April 1st, 2009, Nine Inch Nails announced a brand new album called \”Strobe Light\”. They released the track listing, which featured numerous notable guests:

1. \”Intro Skit\”
2. \”Everybody\’s Doing It\” (featuring Chris Martin, Jay-Z AND Bono)
3. \”Black T-Shirt\”
4. \”Pussygrinder\” (featuring Sheryl Crow)
5. \”Coffin On The Dancefloor\”
6. \”This Rhythm Is Infected\”
7. \”Slide To The Dark Side\”
8. \”Even Closer\” (featuring Justin Timberlake and Maynard James Keenan)
9. \”On The List (she\’s not)\”
10. \”Clap Trap Crack Slap\”
11. \”Laid, Paid And Played\” (featuring Fergie of the Black Eyed Peas and Al Jourgensen)
12. \”Feel Like Being Dead Again\”
13. \”Still Hurts\” (featuring Alicia Keys)
14. \”Outro Skit\”

When users attempted to download the album, they were directed to a fake windows error message page. While it turned out to be an elaborate April Fool\’s prank, a decade later, the album has actually come to life.

Samples from the band and guest artists were used by a fan to create the ultimate mash-up album. While we have no idea of the true identity of the user \”Reznoss\”, we can listen to his masterpiece here:

A 61-year-old woman just gave birth to her own Granddaughter

New dads Matthew Eledge and Elliot Dougherty were elated when their baby girl was born about a week ago, but the whole family coming together was what made it possible. When the married couple expressed how they wanted to be have a child, Eledge\’s 61-year-old mom jokingly said she\’d be a surrogate. To her surprise, her incredible health actually made her eligible!

The plan solidified when Dougherty\’s sister offered to donated her eggs. They used in vitro fertilization, and baby Uma was formed.

Congrats to the happy family on their new addition!

Sorry, the McPickle is just McDonalds April Fools joke

Of course, we should have thought about what day it was when McDonald’s dropped this video on their Facebook and Instagram page.

IT IS A PICKLE BURGER!

The post reads:

“Pickle lovers, it’s the news you’ve all been waiting for. We’re super stoked to announce the launch of our brand new McPickle Burger. It’s time to tuck into juicy, flavoursome pickles layered between melted cheese, ketchup sauce and toasted sesame seed buns. It’s sure to be a treat for all your senses.”

But unfortunately, it’s not something we should be expecting to see on their menu. Folks we have been punked with an April Fools Day prank from McDonald’s.

They even made a comment on their Instagram saying, “available till yesterday.”

Way to tease us, this could have been their new veggie burger!
