The surviving Nirvana members reunited yet again . Filling in for the late Kurt Cobain was Joan Jett, John McAuley of Deer Tick and Brody Dalle! They killed a six-song encore set to close out Cal Jam 18 Saturday at Glen Helen Amphitheater in San Bernardino, Calif. Its was a pretty awesome set. I think it was even better than the last time they did this!
Check it out.
I love eating it … but WEARING IT? Get ready for Top Ramen merchandise.
Nissin Foods just launched the official Top Ramen and Cup Noodles store. But it’s not for massive quantities of cheap noodles … they’re selling t-shirts, hats, pillows, and inflatables.
But the thing that you might want to buy right now is one of their Halloween costumes. They’ve got a Cup Noodles costume for adults, children, and dogs.
Unfortunately, the adult costume costs $60, or the equivalent of around 450 packs of ramen. HAHA! Pricing at this online store doesn’t match the pricing on the noodles. Trust me.
If you’re interested, it’s all at NissinFanStore.com.

Limp Bizkit played the Rock Allegiance Festival in Camden, NJ Saturday night. Crazy right?
Insane Clown Posse’s Shaggy 2 Dope attempted to dropkick Fred Durst.
Watch here:
Time to meet Violet Grohl. If you haven’t before, she is the 12 year old daughter of Foo Fighters frontman DAVE Grohl….and the two took to the stage together this past Thursday in L.A. for an “Autism Speaks” charity gala.
The two of them have covered Adele together before (“When We Were Young”)…and I’m sure you’ve heard Dave do “Everlong” — but check out the father/daughter duo tackle Billie Eilish’s “idontwanttobeyouanymore.” Just click the right arrow three times to skip right to it. That’s a hell of a voice, right? — [eric]

Let’s have a group swoon along with Hope Sandoval.
Twenty-One Pilots officially dropped their new album ‘Trench’ yesterday, and along with a fresh inventive music video for their latest single you have heard on 101WKQX, ‘My Blood’. The story sees two brothers living a turbulent life after the passing of their mother, and it has a very ‘Fight Club’ inspired ending that will catch any viewer off-guard. The video has already stirred a lot of views and is currently the number 3 trending clip on Youtube.
Meg Myers meet and greet photos from The Lounge!
Well he did it again. British street artist Banksy pulled off another shocking caper with his provocative art. His notable piece ‘Girl with Balloon’ was auctioned at the world-acclaimed Sotheyby’s in London yesterday for a reported 1.4 million and right after the hammer dropped on the winning bid, an alarm sounded as the sought-after painting self-destructed into a paper shredder that was secretly built into the frame. The scene it created was a wild one and quickly became the internet story of the weekend.
Of course, Banksy engaging persona is just so intriguing because no one knows exactly who he is. His outlandish work has inspired a whole new generation of artists.
Green Day drummer Tre Cool’s side project, the Icelandic metal band Dead Mermaid, have just released a new EP. ‘You’re Welcome’ is the follow up to 2014’s self-titled EP.
Tre Cool…er.. Bjorn Roarkson (lead vocals and drums) is joined by guitarist Magnus “The Halibut” Magnusson, “The Silver Fish Grimsson on bass and backup vocalist Njall “The Wolf” Njalsson.
Dead Mermaids will be performing tomorrow at Sammy Hagar’s High Tide Beach Party & Car Show in Huntington Beach, CA.
You can listen to the 5 song EP HERE..

I did my first shot of Malort the first time I visited Chicago, received a job offer the next day and moved here within a couple weeks to launch Q87.7. In short, the bitter wormwood liquor is magic to me. So much, that I had my friend do her first shot for a Cubs win during the wild card game (which didn’t work but got us a base hit at least!) Video below.
Today is a great day! Jeppson’s Malort has been acquired by CH Distillery!
CH Distillery, my favorite option at our Windy City Brewhaha ‘s, is a craft distillery known for its organic vodka. They plan to make and bottle Malort at the Pilsen distillery beginning next year, effectively bringing Malort, a Swedish liquor with deep Chicago roots, back to its hometown.
Since the 1970s, Malort has been distilled in Florida, though its primary market has remained Chicago.
Welcome home baby!
When was your first shot of Malort? Tweet me.
