Before she plays a sold-out show at the Metro on Sunday and streams a live session with 101WKQX from the Lounge on Monday, Billie Eilish made more waves around the web this week with a video for the emotive breakup ballad ‘when the party’s over’. It’s currently trending number 5 of all videos of Youtube with over 5.8 million views when we last checked.
The clip which feels like it’s shot in one continuous flow, shows the teenage alt maverick sipping from a cup that represent some pain from her past. What happens here visiual weighs heavy if you have ever had to live through something awful in a relationship while having to a long with your everyday life.
It’s one of the best music videos I have seen all year, and adds so much more engagement to the song itself.

Lately I find myself taking out a lot of the great craft beer made in our fair city — and enjoying it at home, direct from the brewery.
But sometimes its not so clear which places will only do pours in THEIR glassware, or if they even do different sizes (64oz, 32oz, or even the infamous crowler)
That’s why I was happy to come across THIS guide from Guys Drinking Beer. Takes all the questions out of it. And it seems like they update regularly, so bookmark this page beer lovers. — [eric]
Facebook is working on new features to integrate music more fluidly throughout the site including the option to add a profile song!
The feature, which Facebook plans to start testing “soon,” will let users add songs to their profiles. The songs will either appear in a new, dedicated “music” section or at the very top of the profile page if the song is “pinned” just like your old MySpace page!
These songs will also link to the artist’s Facebook page. There will be “millions” of songs available (the same music catalog available via Instagram Stories).
People who visit your profile will then be able to then judge your taste in music and stalk and/or unfriend you accordingly!
Hi Tom!
The Red Sox won Game 1 of the World Series last night, beating the Dodgers 8-4. That’s a big deal for everyone in Boston . . . but for everyone else, the big story was: FREE TACOS.
Taco Bell was doing one of their promotions where the first base runner to steal a base in the World Series would be deemed this year’s ‘Taco Hero’ . . . and everyone would get free tacos. It’s the seventh year they’ve done it.
Well, MOOKIE BETTS of the Red Sox didn’t waste any time. He stole a base in the first inning . . . securing a free Doritos Locos Taco for everyone in America.
That means YOU get a taco . . . and YOU get a taco . . . and YOU get . . . okay, okay, you get my point.
You can redeem your free taco on Thursday, November 1st, by visiting any participating Taco Bell location between 2:00 P.M. and 6:00 P.M. local time. No purchase is necessary . . . you just simply ask for a free Doritos Locos Taco.
(If you didn’t witness YOUR new TACO HERO, here’s the video.)
Because he's the Taco Hero baseball deserves.

Did Ross steal some booze?! Maybe Rachel will have to bail him out of jail?
Let’s get into it.
Do you recognise this man? We want to speak to him in relation to a theft at a Blackpool restaurant on the 20th…
Posted by Blackpool Police on Tuesday, October 23, 2018
Someone resembling actor David Schwimmer whose known best for the role of ‘Ross’ on the NBC sitcom ‘Friends’ stirred up an internet storm when his video still of him robbing a store in England went viral. This lead to over 134,000 comments on the initial post from the Blackpool Police Dept., and you better believe it was a lot of fans of the show dropping in the memeist takes they could think of.
The resemblance is uncanny, but Schwimmer a veteran of Chicago’s Steppenwolf Theater, professed his innocence in a hilarious response video. The short video has drawn in almost 1.8 million views since being posted.
Officers, I swear it wasn't me.
As you can see, I was in New York.
To the hardworking Blackpool Police, good luck with the investigation.#itwasntme pic.twitter.com/EDFF9dZoYR— schwim (@DavidSchwimmer) October 24, 2018
Scwimmer has taken on a role on the revised ‘Will &Grace’ and continues an active career. He also revealed in an interview that he makes $20 million a year off the syndication rights to ‘Friends’. So yeah he’s fine, before you think he needs to rob a convenience store.

Following the box office banger that was the Halloween reboot this past weekend, actor Robert Englund who came to fame as ‘Freddy Krueger’ in the 80’s film series ‘Nightmare on Elm Street’ put a blood drop in the horror movie shark tank when he said he might be open to another film. Englund who last year swore off a serious run as ‘Freddy’ again, citing his age in an interview with EW. This Wednesday, Englund will the knife-fingered demon back to life for a comedic cameo in the throwback sitcom, ‘the Goldbergs’.

Yesterday during an interview with Access Live, Englund drops this timely tease:
“I think they want to reboot the franchise, but they’re gonna need a new actor…. “They’re gonna need a new actor to play Freddy because they’re gonna have to do eight of them. I might have one left in me… but yeah.”
Oh yeah, the unearthing of dead horror franchises is not done. ComingSoon is reporting today that NBA star LeBron James is looking at producing a possible reboot of ‘Friday the 13th’.
Cinemassacre breaks down how the ‘Nightmare’ series stood out as a different series, evolved with dark comedy, and how Johnny Depp is tied into the whole thing.

The first iPod debuted 17 years ago.
The “breakthrough digital device” with a scroll wheel carried up to 1,000 CD quality songs in a ultra-portable 6.5.ounce design that retailed for $399!.
The name “iPod” came from a freelance copywriter named Vinnie Chieco, who as soon as he saw the pure white device thought of Stanley Kubrik’s 2001 and the immortal line: “Open the Pod Bay doors, Hal.”
Steve Jobs was talking a lot about the iMac and iLife, so adding the “i” prefix was a natural thing to do. Jobs initially rejected the iPod name, but later came around to it.
