KT’s Kids 15th annual holiday party

December 4, 2018 | <3 Lauren

One of my favorite causes, KT’s Kids, is having its 15th annual holiday party at Liar’s Club this Sunday!

The evening will have music, burlesque and a raffle with some great prizes donated by our sponsors and others. The show lineup will feature The Nefarious Fat Cats, featuring Jake Burns (Stiff Little Fingers), Scott Lucas (Local H), John and Joey Haggerty (Pegboy), KTS Kids founder Herb Rosen and more, Bailey Dee and her Late Night Bait and some surprise guest stars to be announced. Burlesque interludes will feature Angela Eve and Eve’s Parlor.

“100% of funds raised at our benefit go directly to support the children of Schwab Rehabilitation Hospital’s KidsRehab program. On December 12th we will have our holiday party at the hospital, where we provide gifts to over 300 children! We invite all children that are seen in our hospital’s outpatient clinics and all other children in the household. Every child gets two gifts (one fun, one practical) and Mom gets a $20 gift card to Target.”  More info HERE.

If you are not able to attend the benefit, but would like to provide a present to a child, please go to our Amazon wish list to have a gift sent directly to the hospital.

You can also make a secure donation through paypal HERE.

Here is a clip from last year’s event:

 Forbes magazine released their annual list of the highest-paid YouTube stars … and at the top is a seven-year-old kid who made $22 million this year reviewing toys.  SEVEN YEARS OLD!   Isn’t there some Child Labor Law that can stop this mess? (Wink Wink)

Here’s the full top ten list . . .

Something is happening with Judah & The Lion

December 4, 2018 | <3 Lauren

For the past week Judah & The Lion have been posting that they are a country band from Nashville…

 

Luckily, that seems to just be the band trolling us.  As they just (a half hour ago) dropped this:

Along with THIS.  

My spidey senses are tingling.

A Family’s Christmas Decorations Include Clark Griswold Hanging Onto the Gutter . . . and Someone Calls 911

December 4, 2018 | Tim Virgin

If you have never seen the movie …HOW DARE YOU ! There’s a famous scene in “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation” where Clark Griswold is putting up Christmas decorations, he slips on some ice on the roof, and winds up hanging from the gutter.

The Heerlein family in Austin, Texas decided to recreate that scene for their Christmas decorations this year. And you can probably see where this is going.  Fast forward a day or two … a neighbor see the dummy and calls 911!

He also tried to save the dummy and yelled for help. Fortunately, everything got smoothed over quickly once the cops got there . . . and the Heerleins even gave the guy a gift card.  Really? … I would have given the guy a “YOU’RE AN IDIOT” card.

Pete Davidson speaks out on mental health issues, People need to be empathetic on socials

A post shared by Pete Davidson (@petedavidson) on

‘Saturday Night Live’ comedian Pete Davidson had a very public breakup with a popular singer who has fans that some how think being a fan means you get to self-riotously harass someone online with some fictional authority. This is a growing issue as we go into the murky deeper digital waters of social media merging with fandom for music and art we are passionate for. The negative side of ‘stan culture’ has got to stop there is no reasonable moral defense of this, considering no one is deserving knowing why two famous people stopped dating. The faceless ‘fan accounts’ with avatar of the artist they support out spreading this emotional venom has been tolerated too long.

Maybe it’s corny to say this, but I ‘stan’ for stopping negative things like this.

Davidson is dealing with this in a very classy and considerate way for people who have dealt with similar mental health challenges. Those same health problems are something we in the alternative music have seen expressed in song and endured by those that both make the music and those that enjoy it. So it’s important to listen to this with empathy and support.

He even joked about the breakup in very grand fashion.

Pete Davidson has made millions laugh on SNL, Here are some of his funniest performances on SNL.

Francis Bean Cobain shares a song that touches on suicide.

December 3, 2018 | Eric

The daughter of Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love has a two-record deal with Colombia — and might this be part of one of the songs we hear from her debut?  As you can hear — and see, in the lyrics posted to her million + followers on Instagram — the subject matter is definitely an emotional one.  — [eric]
