Kinda. Here’s the deal. Matt Bellamy posted a video of him playing the guitar solo for a new Muse song called The Dark Side. He’ve giving you the solo, now he wants you to write the song around it. That sounds like fun.
Oh, and it’s nice to see even big time rock stars plug in and play in the garage! -wALT
The Chicago Cubs are reportedly working on creating their own independent cable TV channel to broadcast their games and more content. Broadcasting And Cable reports today that the Cubs current deal with NBC Sports Chicago is set to expire after the 2019 season, and the popular MLB franchise is making moves to launch their own venture on TV.
Mike McCarthy who previously was the CEO of the St. Louis Blues in the NHL and formerly lead the MSG Network in New York City, has been hired by the Cubs according to industry sources.
NBC Sports Group is a partner in NBC Sports Chicago along with the Cubs, the Chicago White Sox, the Chicago Bulls of the NBA and the NHL’s Chicago Blackhawks, with each team holding 20% since 2004.
“We’re still in negotiations with our team partners and remain fully committed to the sports business in Chicago,” NBC Sports Chicago said in a statement.
Other big baseball franchises like the New York Yankees, New York Mets, Los Angeles Dodgers, and Boston Red Sox all have their own regional cable channels so this would not be the firs titme.
Thanks to all the qualifiers, fans, and curious listeners who came to our EPIC 48 finale event at Fitz’s Spare Keys in Elmhurst… and huge congrats to our winner, Jessica Bailye, who’s going to have two days of life-changing experiences.

Two popular Youtubers went into the ring on Saturday in Manchester, England with a sold-out crowd of 15,000 and millions streaming it online. Logan Paul, the tone-deaf attention starved dude who filmed a dead body in Japan’s ‘Suicide Forest’ months ago battled gaming tuber KSI. The two traded insults for months online, made diss rap tracks against one another, and also got each other’s brothers to fight on the under card of this carnival sideshow charging $10 for 6-round amateur fight which ended… in a draw. Yes, a draw. The rematch apparently has already been booked.
No matter what you may think of it, the fight has to be considered a success as a business venture. Mashable said has this take: “Using their massive platforms fueled by clickbait-y drama, the Paul and Olatunji brothers did what they do best: take money from children — or, really, parents willing to open their wallets for merch and PPV. ”
The Verge reported today the fight drew around 773,000 live viewers officially and the latest number is settled right under 5 million total paid viewers. Still it looks like a majority of people watched the fight illegally on Twitch.
The response to the fight from fans of these millennial darlings has been mixed at best, but many have speculated the fight was a big fix and not legit bout as it was sold to be. Neither have legtimate boxing background, except KSI who previously promoted a similar fight some time ago and immediately challenged the Pauls.
The #KSIvLogan fight ending in a tie is just further proof to me that it was a publicity stunt. Now they'll just make more money off of the rematch.

Disappointed in @Twitch today for not actively banning streamers rebroadcasting the #KSIvLogan fight.

About 800,000 people paid $10 to watch KSI and Logan Paul’s fight on YouTube. More than one million people watched the fight through numerous illegal streams on Twitch. Twitch pirates always win. https://t.co/8NpCESqQBh pic.twitter.com/S6w6lCtiJa

MIke Shinoda since the passing of his Linkin Park bandmate Chester Bennington has been active musically releasing a very moving EP earlier this year and hitting the road againg, including a high-profile set this past week in the UK with Reading + Leeds Festival. PIQNIQ alums and all-around awesome dudes Sum41 were on the same bill, so why not have Shinoda join them on stage for a rousing cover of the LP favorite ‘Faint’!?
During Shinoda’s solo set earlier in the day, the entire massive crowd joined him to send love to Chester’s memory singing ‘In The End’. This video below shows Shinoda reaching out those dealing with the similar issues that Chester faced in mental health.
On September 22nd, 101WKQX will be putting together a team for the Out of the Darkness Chicagoland Walk to raise awareness about mental health, save lives and help the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention meet their bold goal to reduce the U.S. suicide rate 20% by 2025. If you want to join the cause and help those afflicted by this awful health problem, find out more here.

This story was broke this week by Vice and New York Magazine in New York where a woman named Natasha Aponte messaged many men on the dating app Tinder to go on a date. They all showed up to a DJ set in a square in downtown NYC, and it turned into a dating game show where she judged them. Yes, this is real. They all got duped into this and a ‘viral video agency’ was behind the whole elabroate scam/game where she litterally swiped on people in real life, made them do push-ups, and basically treated real people like less-than human that we apparently all do on dating apps.
Before the ‘competition’ began, Aponte eliminated several men saying ‘no’ to the following traits:
The experiment is interesting but quite deceptive and manipulative no matter how you spin, but maybe that’s the point? Here is the ‘Timder Trap’ video the team behind the whole project posted to Youtube by producer Rob Bliss.
It must have aggravated some people since the comments on the video have been disabled.
On Jan. 1, 2019, we’ll be throwing it back—way back—to the striking sweaters of the 1920s and '30s.
